    We went for lunch. I ordered beef ribs, I got the shredded beef. It's okay, little dry because I don't like the sauce to put it on. The service was something to be desired. Got wrong on my drink order. My favorite was the sweet potato soufflé. The ambience is very family vibes. I think I will try for the breakfast next time.

    My favorite barbecue - I grew up on it when it was all over the place. Now there's only one left so I have to plan my trip to come by. The Brunswick stew is the star, followed by the beef, pork, and ribs. ( I've never had the chicken.) Love their garlic bread and breakfast, not necessarily together, but it does sound good Put some south in your mouth!

    Finally got to try Old Hickory House in Tucker, GA, after my friends Beth & Luis hyped it up. Got there right as they opened, and the parking lot was already semi-full. (Don't worry, there's extra parking on the side!) This place has strong old-school diner vibes, with great service, a massive menu, and tasty food at a great price. I tried: Barbecue Omelet with Beef: Loaded with beef and paired with thick, non-watery grits - perfection. Short Stack with Bacon: Pancakes were tasty, but I wish they had some crisp edges. The bacon was thick, crispy, and just right. Country Chicken & Gravy Biscuit Platter: The real MVP here! Perfectly battered chicken with flavorful gravy on a biscuit that's crunchy on the outside, buttery on the inside, and doesn't fall apart. All this for just $5! The atmosphere is lively with families, and there's a bar-style seating option if you're dining solo. Nikki, my server, was amazing and made sure my drink never hit the bottom. Highly recommend for a solid breakfast experience. Give it a try and let me know what you think!

    We took my aunt here the Sunday before Christmas. She loves veggies and they serve different delicious ones daily on the board. The BBQ pork I had was still great after all these years along with the best Brunswick stew in Ga. Inmho. Ambiance is casual with old pictures on the wall. There are tv's but no music so conversation is encouraged. Service was good even though the after church crowd had the place packed. Bottom line Old Hickory House never disappoints.

    Wow! So glad we chose this place on the way home from a road trip this weekend! Some of the best BBQ I've ever had! We ordered online and the 30 min wait was worth it! The place was packed on a Sat. The chopped chicken was perfect in my opinion; not too sauced up so you can be healthy if you want. The thick BBQ on the side was so thick I wasn't sure if it was a side of baked beans at first! Collards were just what I expect from a side of southern greens but my favorite side was tbe potatoes salad! More potatoes than I normally get in each side and a great slightly sweet slightly tangy flavor! Large portion of chicken and not one but TWO delicious cornbread muffins ! I will be back to sit in next time. Staff was friendly and had a southern charm in the air. My dogs in the parking lot loved the smells

    I used to frequent the old Hickory house in Charlotte up until they closed. Is this the same group that used to have the places in North Carolina?

    Yes it would be.

A warm day with a breeze to car & people watch. Families out walking, folks enjoying the cars, older folks, neighbors & a great vibe. A great menu & decent prices. Service was outstanding, our server was attentive & patient with us. The menu is VERY good for any diets, I think. Dad got a basic salad & was Mmmmm Mmmm through the last bite. I had a side of Fried Okra as an appetizer- not as crisp as I like but great flavor. Dad loved his meal & ordered a 2nd full meal to take home for the next 2 days. A lot of food. Menu & pics attached. I believe this may be my new spot, but a 45 min drive from Lawrenceville to Tucker. I had the Smoked Beet Veggie Cuban (no meat). Was SO good!! Actually amazing!!! For the 2 of us; 2 beers, side okra, small salad & 2 Fresh Air Sandwiches was $75 plus tip. That isn't so bad. I wish I took pics of the patio, they have a small bar (full bar) window & a few stools. Very quaint. We left & the place was pretty packed at 1 pm. I'm satisfied!

A staff member across the bar told me to seat myself, so I did. I waited for a while expecting someone to come by and properly greet or assist me, but no one ever came over. At that point, I decided to leave. Based on this experience, I don't think I'll be returning to this location. I'll stick with the Decatur location, where the service and overall experience have been much better.

First time visiting Atlanta and had to stop by and try out this highly rated establishment and so happy I made it part of my list. We arrived towards the end of the night with enough time before closing but obviously not realizing there are a few dishes that sell out so keep that in mind. Nevertheless service was stand out once we walked in and were kindly greeted by the host. We then sat down at our table and were then greeted with our server Tiffany. Let me just say we need a Tiffany everywhere, this girl really went above and beyond and truly welcomed us and genuinely was just a pleasure to interact with through out the whole visit. She really wanted to give us the best experience and recommendations for our first visit and let me just say everything was amazing and the service was top tier, such a great place with a great atmosphere, service and amazing food. What more can you ask for. She would def be the reason we visit Atlanta again and go back to eat here.

As a new Atlanta resident, I'd heard the line was long but food would be good and worth hanging out. We arrived at 430pm on Thursday, no wait, had a pleasant waitress who let us ooh and ahh for a bit before deciding on our choices.
