I've been here a few times and the food was good but I think it was a little too pricey for me. The service has always been good and the restaurant always clean. They have outdoor seating but I very seldom see anyone setting there. read more

4 minutes off the highway if you're traveling and looking for a treat. Drive-in with car hops and limited seating inside. Clean bathrooms accessible outside. Ice cream was good. Hubby said they were a little light on the malt in his hot fudge malt, but overall, it was worth the 4 min drive. read more

Mixed feelings. First as a out of town visitor from texas..please remove the "south of the border" as nothing on there is actual mexican food and thus not from south of the border. Very north of the border. so far north we in texas wont even call it Tex-mex. In texas you get arrested for such silliness. Now the "spicy" chicken sandwich was not spicy. not even slightly spicy. Also should never have to chew on a chicken sandwich the way you do a bad steak. Id drink my sweet tea but there was another faux pas...CLEAN YOUR TEA DISPENSER DAILY! and add sugar when warm. taste test. was so bitter and stout it gives dry mouth after a sip. thats only achieved through not cleaning and the tannin build up. Which can cause upset stomach, headaches and more. The chicken was super dry if that wasnt made clear. SEASON YOUR FRIES! Dont ever stick a large bottle of iodized salt on a table..salt the fries when they come out of the oil or the salt doesnt stick anyway. they are bland and disgusting. no excuse for failing at french fries. Jr burger with just cheese is very good. So there is that i guess. I cant lie. it was really good. and so tender and juicy you probably could gum it without having teeth and be ok. good quality burger meat. The coconut creme pudding shake was just what you would think if you wanted a coconut cream pie in a cup. very tasty. Little too much shredded coconut but overall the flavors were spot on. This place could use a good clean inside. You could reenact Tom Cruise in risky business by sliding on the floor its so greasy. and you wouldnt need socks. just your regular non slip shoes. Menus are not clean. so you have to touch dirty menus then touch your food. idk why they have boxes of random merchandise like kiddie cars and headphones inside. sort of weird but small town maybe its a donation spot? really unclear on that but its weird to walk into a restaurant and see random stuff thats not related to the business. you can see whole kitchen. that isnt necessarily a good thing mind you. Went back for shakes to try and Girl who came to our car needed a little more practice at math for giving change but on that i sympathize as math isnt my strongest subject. Overall this place needs a lot of work but i still recommend people try for themselves. read more

In my original review I said there were no ice cream treats. The restaurant followed-up with a note to say I missed that menu, which is on the passenger side of the car. read more

Hicks Hometown Drive-In - Ice cream - Burgers Near Me - Chillicothe, Missouri

As usual when I'm in Chillicothe and need to grab a bite, I drove by all the national chains to get to Hicks. Why? First, because it's a local establishment, and I try to buy local when I can, especially in small towns. Second, I really wanted a tenderloin sandwich. And MAN do they have a great one! Not so huge that you can't manage it, but definitely larger than you expect. And the tots? Phenomenal. All that would be great by itself...but the carhops who work there always come out with a smile, a great attitude, and they make you feel like they WANT you there (and that they want to be there, too!). Of course, now that they're masked because of Covid, you have to see the smiles in their eyes, and my server tonight certainly had them. Food? Excellent. Service? Excellent. Speed? Excellent. There's no reason to go to the national places, when Hometown Drive-In consistently knocks it out of the park. This is my fifth or sixth visit, and I'll definitely be back!! read more

Great home town burger place. Food is great everyone that works there is very friendly. They have a big variety as well for a small place.

Stopped here cruising through town. I hate dissing local joints like this but the food was not that great and kind of expensive. Got the chili fries, those were ok. I will say when none of the kids like the french fries, that sums it up. Put some salt on those things. My chicken sandwich was again, ok, but small as hell on an oversized bun. The buns are good. Kudos on the vendor choice. My wife's burger was grey and bland. Dude, I could go on but...why? Id be interested to see or hear what people normally get. The young lady who brought our food was very nice. read more

I placed an order for 6 people. The car hoop or waiter looked inside my vehicle and said I don't see 6 people in here. I kind of thought to myself what does it matter if I ordered for one person or twenty people.So I guess I'll talk about the food the fries were nothing special crinkle cut that you buy for $2 from Walmart.The smoke burger which they charged way to much for. Plain hamburger with bbq sauce wow go all out why don't you. The rest of my group didn't think their food was all that great. Wished I'd gone to subway instead.So Hicks home town drive in. I give you a big thumbs down.For the overpriced sandwiches between $7 to a little over $10 dollars.That's not including the cheap fries or the small medium so called drinks. read more

My boyfriend and I were in Chillicothe for our covid shots and stopped by here on our way out of town and this place didn't disappoint. It's pretty simple, Sonic if Sonic was a local mom and pops. I had the cheeseburger and fries and he got the philly. Both were hot and tasted fresh. I agree with previous reviews that they're a little scant on the salt on the fries but that's an easy fix and better than the alternative. We'll probably swing by again when we come for our second round of shots! read more

So I order and it's a simple one item order. They repeated back to me what I ordered and then came out with the wrong item and a MANAGER came back out to say "I REPEATED IT BACK TO YOU, YOU REALLY WANTED XYZ? I was taken aback. It's hot today maybe tempers are just flaring. I still enjoy hicks but it wasn't a pleasant experience. read more

Pros: Great bbq beef sandwich Great frozen lemonade Great hurricanes/mix ins Great prices Friendly service Cons: None This place deserves 5 stars or close to it.

Nasty food here. If I could give it a zero star I would. They cook your food with no gloves touching everything around them . Will not be back at this place ever again . read more

Went through here on a whim. Very affordable, quick with service, very polite and great food. I will definitely return. Those who want to compare try sonic and then come here for better food, drinks and desserts. read more

Super friendly staff! Excellent food! We got a #2 combo and it was enough to share. The sweet tea was great too!

We were looking for some lunch on our way out of the KC area, and thought we would first go with Sonic, but then Hicks caught our eye! A local drive-in is a rare sight any more. We were very happy that we stopped by! Besides the standard burgers, hot dogs, grilled cheese, etc., they had tacos, burritos, and tostadas. There was also a nice shake list, but we weren't feeling like something so rich to go along with our food. We ordered pretty standard fair - a couple of cheeseburgers, a blt, grilled cheese, and some fries. Everything was perfectly fine. Not bad at all, but not outstanding. The blt contained a generous portion of bacon. I liked that not only did they have the drive-in spaces, but there was also some indoor seating, and a picnic table outside if you didn't feel like eating in your car. If I ever find myself in Chillicothe again, I would certainly give Hicks another run. read more

This is actually a great little place to eat. They have something for everyone! Tacos, hamburgers, chicken sandwiches, ice cream....You name it! read more

I was looking for local hamburger joint where I could get a nice hamburger. The Hicks hamburger was slightly worse than what I could get at Sonics. Not what I was seeking v read more

The food here is delicious and their delivery service is very quick. I place my order over the phone and it's delivered to my door in 15 minutes or less. Food is always hot and fresh and the delivery person is always polite. read more

I've been ordering here for years... I love it. Quick service PLUS delivery (great for my husband and me during busy work days). My Favs are the bacon cheeseburger and the Taco Salad. If I could change one thing- it would only be that they add more cookies/sweets in their "hurricanes". Love this small family owned business. read more

The only good thing about this place is they deliver. I'd prefer sonic if I'm driving through tho.

Do you know what makes Hicks' burgers good? The buns. Fluffy and fresh. Not mashed and dry like everywhere else.

Tried the smoke burger and it was gross. Fries were just regular frozen fries, also no taste. Had a small chocolate malt and it was ok. Served a mix of Mexican/American but no real genre for the restaurant read more

Vanilla coke? Awesome. Shake awesome. Burger? Not so much. It tasted like it had sand in it and had nothing on it. But the drinks make up for it and the small town feel. I miss this city it was really nice for such a small town. read more

We eat here all the time! They are very friendly, wonderful food, and fast service! They also deliver, or you can order and they bring it to your car, or you can sit inside. WONDERFUL place! read more

Very good food and shakes, although I ordered a medium chocolate ice cream with Oreos. The delivery time was fast 10 minutes top but when I opened my ice cream there is very little Oreos if any at all. Other than that amazing food and ice cream and a family friendly zone!! read more
