Food and service price was awesome!! I will be back... authentic comfort food. Chicken was to die for..

Ah, the ol' Old Hickory House! The food is as legendary as your mom's meatballs, the BBQ sauce flows like a rustic river, and the ribs are so tender that they apologize when falling off the bone! Is it possible that this meaty madness is actually Heaven? Maybe, but it's truly a time-tested tradition where timeless tales of BBQ triumphs are told. It's a taste tornado so tantalizing and so terrific that a vegetarian is likely to 'veggie-lapse,' temporarily forgetting salads to salute the sweet satisfaction of this seriously satisfying establishment. Reminiscent of a holiday dinner at Grandma's house, the staff greets you with warm eyes and open arms, a group of splendidly smiley superheroes. It's a staff so friendly, they apologize to the chickens and pigs before putting them on the grill. Upon walking in, there is a noticeable sweet seduction in the air, a savory sizzling aroma that can start a party in your nostrils. It's like a smoky serenade whispering sweet nothings to your senses, or a spicy symphony of sensational BBQ that is sweet enough to seduce your senses. The menu is full of succulent surprises that will send your taste buds into a tailspin. Each bite is a tantalizing triumph, a true triumph to BBQ excellence - or wizardry! In conclusion, this meaty meet-and-great metropolis is a taste-bud-tickling adventure worth taking. -$tevie J. read more

If you were wondering what $32 dollars in sides looks like from this place here it is. These are the cups that sauce normally comes in. This place use to be good and the prices were reasonable but this is pathetic. Definitely won't be back. read more

We usually come for dinner, but today we came for brunch. Our omlettes were delicious. Fluffy and light. Best we've had. Of course, we had grits and biscuits, too. We had the BBQ sauce on side, and we added it to the omlettes. Highly recommend this restaurant. We stop every time we're in Georgia. read more

Well I decided to go there for my first time for breakfast and I was not disappointed very very good service was great, food was great and the service was quick but Fresh now I will be back for dinner to check it out. I was very impressed with the layout on the inside for me it was like stepping into a Texas barbecue. The amount of food was great so the price was OK good. read more

Walked in to a friendly staff greeting. My meal for take out was ready. I was given a complimentary Arnold Palmer tea and boy was it good! I got to my hotel ready to eat and it was still warm and oh, so juicy. The ribs had such a great smoke flavor I'd eat a whole rack easy and they were fall off bone juicy! The brisket was good, I'd dip it in there house BBQ and be in heaven. The side's, I got stew and potatoe salad. I enjoyed both. I thought the stew was not BBQ related however it was good for stew! I can see why they have a wait to be seated and I'll be back read more

Old Hickory House - 3 meat plate - Barbeque Near Me - Tucker, Georgia

The last one remaining in Atlanta and very blessed it's near our home. Great veggies, brunswick stew and bread. I normally get pulled pork plate. Grandson devoured the ribs on a recent visit. Friendly prompt service. Have also had breakfast there many times. Great biscuits/gravy! read more

My favorite BbQ and breakfast place. They have the best breakfast selections and prices. There BBQ Pitmaster know how to cook their meats (pork,chicken, beef) and especially the Brunswick stew (the best in the world) , when I get over to Tucker I buy at least a gallon to go and this stew is my "I'll bring to picnic or tailgate" everytime. read more

First off, this place though medium size has enough parking spot for twice the size of the restaurant. Upon entering, the decor reminds me EXACTLY what a diner looked like when I was much younger, reading books back in Singapore. Therefore it was kind of fun & cute for me, feels like I stepped into those novels I used to read. I sat at the bar counter as I was dining alone. Sat next to someone, chatted up a little and a friendly server across the bar took my orders. 2 over-easy, bacon, sausage & grits - ok I was hungry. 10 minutes later, my food came with a huge, warm, soft biscuit. I gobbled it all down. Took a bite of the biscuit because it was inviting, and it did not disappoint. Will be back again, with a friend next time. read more

Finished our load and was headed out of town. Called this place off 285N to see if they were open.... yes we are they said! Woo hoo. It's pretty much hit and miss now a days. We asked to try the Brunswick stew. She brought us out two small samples..wow it was delish. It's not so good everywhere. We both love this one!! Ordering it next time! Omg I ordered the ribs with okra and a salad. Oh my... it was so delish.. I ate it all. Bf had the People pleaser plate. Wow it was the best that we had in a lonnnnng time. After all was said n done we ordered 10 smoked wings to go with cole slaw for later. We looked in r bag and they gave us some more nana pudding!! Wow nice folks for sure. I'm bookmarking this place for a later date! read more

Busy lunchtime, initial service was fine. Meals came quickly. Sandwiches were nothing special warm meat on cold bun) and sides were scant. You can change the sides that come with the platters (may have improved the experience). Never saw server again. Kind busi oerson brought boxes and found server so we could pay. Cost for lunch over $35. Will go someplace else next time. read more

Service is terrible. Takes forever to take your order and forget to get your order. Been like this for years.

The food is amazing. The servers are friendly and quick. I love having barbecue or even brunch here.

I've been going here since I was 5 years old starting at their Cumberland location. I travel all the way pass Villa Rica to the only location that's left open and The Old Hickory House never disappoints. We always get 3 quarts of stew, bread, and our bbq pork chopped sandwiches. Thank you to the friendly staff. read more

Nice atmosphere and food was good. Great service they made you feel like you was at home with family read more

I bet that the breakfast here is pretty good. It's a cool atmosphere that reminds me of my childhood. The greatest movie of all time, Smokey and The Bandit, had a scene filmed in their sister location and this place looks just like the one in the movie where Buford T Justice ordered his Diablo and a Dr Pepper to go. Remember, he was in a godamm hurry. The people inside are all very friendly. Unfortunately, the food is mediocre and extremely salty. It just wasn't enjoyable. They lost a star from me because somehow an extra four dollars or so was somehow added on to my bill. The way that they responded to it was a bit odd which makes me wonder if it wasn't a mistake. I didn't receive any apology either for the overcharge. A simple apology would have really helped. It's a shame. This place could be really cool. read more

I am a certified bbq judge and have judged more than 100 contests. I generally don't go to bbq restaurants because they are usually sub par but Old Hickory was OUSTANDING! They got the ribs exactly right and I'm craving more! read more

For starters, the service was great. Very kind and attentive server. We have only lovely things to say about the service. The food is bland and tastes microwaved. Nothing tasted freshly prepared and there were no flavors. The crowd is elderly and the ambience is that of Piccadilly. They were busy and it seemed to be mostly regulars. We wouldn't eat here again, but I can see how some people would enjoy the old school nature of it. read more

So so salty. Employees on the phone are hard to understand, don't have phone etiquette and can't even say goodbye before hanging up. The food was so overwhelmingly salty- the butter beans, squash casserole, collards...not worth it for the money. The inside of the restaurant is retro but not in a good way. Pickles are straight out of a jar too. read more

Went there for breakfast and the food wasn't good. The only thing that was decent was the sausage and the biscuit was ok. The sausage gravy wasn't seasoned nor were the eggs. The eggs were also powdered and the bbq pork omelette wasn't seasoned. The service was pretty good and the ambiance was meh. read more

Had chicken & gravy breakfast with scrambled eggs and side of sausage came with 2 big biscuits. It was delicious had every last bit of it. Had better gravy than this but biscuits were the best I have ever had, they were fluffy, soft and buttery. Chicken was perfectly cooked disappointed that it was fried but not crispy, still delicious though. Place has a very homely vibe. staff is very friendly and attentive social distancing was in place too. Will definitely go back. read more

Terrible food not good customer service. Fries are soggy baked beans are nasty and the burger was awful had to ask for lettuce onions pickles not ever coming back and the pulled pork was fry and nasty read more

I'm so disappointed. My family and I have been frequenting this establishment since I can remember. Today, I ordered online for a 1pm pick up. When I got there, the restaurant was full and several people were waiting on to-go orders. The man at the register wouldn't make eye contact with anyone unless they wanted to pay at the register. I could see my order on the counter. Finally, after about 10 minutes, I went to the register like I was going to pay and he gave me my order. When I asked for some crackers, he said he could sell me a bag of them. Really??? I just spent $40 on Brunswick stew! Icing on the cake, a sweet man was waiting patiently to make a take out order and I mentioned this to the cashier. He rolled his eyes and continued ignoring everyone in the takeout area. Unfortunately, this will probably be the last time I visit here again. You can do much better Hickory House!!! read more

Looking for AUTHENTIC southern food and great BBQ? This is the place. Just don't look around too much, this place is a hole-in-the-wall, but the food is SO GOOD! Good food doesn't need fancy bells and whistles. The waitstaff is friendly, they'll take care of ya the way your momma will at her house. I always get the Brunswick stew and I'll argue with anyone that it's the best stew in the area. Favorite side items include squash casserole, the green beans (the best green beans you'll ever put in your mouth) and the Mac & cheese. Go for breakfast (be prepared to wait if you're going during the church rush time) and get the chicken and gravy biscuit and then you can thank me later. We go here about 3-4 times a month and never had a bad meal. read more

Came here for breakfast right as they opened on Sunday morning. Lots of seating and half was rightfully blocked off due to COVID. Ordered a sausage biscuit and cheese grits. Man it was delicious - and only like $5 total! My friend complained the iced tea tasted old. Service was fast and friendly. Some servers were seen taking off their masks in the beverage prep area. Or not covering their nose with it. That's my only complaint. I did like that I paid at the counter and didn't have to calculate a tip - their system gave you options and did the math for you. And gave you the option for a receipt or not. I'll be back. read more

I had heard about this place and had been told how good the pork BBQ was. Wow, what a disappointment. Only good thing was the low price. Also had the hushpuppies BUT they had So Much sugar in them I only ate one. The ribs and the burgers looked good so if I was ever out that way again I would give the ribs a shot. read more

Not a place for bbq meats. They are not bbq'ing the meats. They are roasting it in a gas fired open front oven. Tough, dry, no fat content. Veggies are to die for. I just order vegetables from them. read more

My first time eating here was a chore it's hard to mess up breakfast. They need to update the inside quickly. The staff was friendly my server she was great very attentive. However I made a mistake and ordered the salmon croquettes yikes they were horrible you get two big patties. But the taste was just not there I did all I could do just to eat one. After the first bite with nothing on it I thought let try hot sauce NOPE then ketchup NOPE NOPE !!!! I hate to waste food this time I did not take it with me. Trust me I know how salmon croquettes taste I've been eating them all my life. I'm an OG Have a very simple recipe hit me up for it. read more

I truly loved the faint smell of smoke as I entered the establishment. You could tell this is where the locals come to eat. I began looking over the extensive menu. I quickly set my eyes on country fried steak pintos and collards. However that was quickly a let down. I learned from the waitress that the chicken fried steak is not something they make,its shipped in. Sadly even though they had pintos listed,they were not available . I chose slice pork,collards and black eyed peas. The portion of sliced pork was nice and the BEP's and collards were yummy. The waitress seemed a bit off her game though. She wasnt bad,but could have used some improvement. read more

It had been a while since visiting old hickory house. So decided to visit on Sunday and definitely was not disappointed. Absolutely Loved the baby back ribs. Will be going back soon! read more

They are consistent in offering the best sides around! I get their half BBQ chicken but my mom loves the ribs!

Was there this morning. I frequent there sometimes and know all of the usual nice ladies who run the register. There was a young white girl there this morning. She saw me start the counter waiting to be helped. She by passed me to answer the phone and take and order. When she finished with that a gentleman walked up to settle his ticket . She helped him all the while I'm standing there being deliberately ignored by her. When I told her that I was actually next she smarted off and pretty much over talked me as I was talking to her. Then apologized to the gentleman for having the interruption. I asked for the manager. After some time, an older white nan appeared. He was very kind and assisted me and said he was sorry for her behavior and would speak to her. I'll never go back and will cross post my experience on multiple platforms for others to beware. This was blatant racism as the smirk on her face while she was being rude attested to. read more

One of finest brunch place in Atlanta. This place is not so far away from the I-285, its very close to the exit. Let me start with food. Amazing food, we had the fried chicken with biscuit and gravy, scrambled eggs on the side. This is their one of the popular items and practically you will find on everyones table . Chicken was cooked to perfection. Biscuit is freshly made and you can say that because the biscuit will be hot. Their gravy us to die for. My wife found it less salty and pepperish but this is something on personal preference. Every tablr has salt and pepper to add as per your taste. Coming to ambience. This place has little old rustic look. But it fits to their name OLD Hickory House. You go in and if you find seat you grab it. All the staff are so warm and welcoming that when you sit you have a big smile and when you leave you have big smile. You will find lot of parking spot outside but on weekends you might have to wait a little bit. Food - 4/5 Ambience - 4/5 Parking - 4/5 read more

I'm a fan of Hickory House . This was not their best effort. Those were the driest overcooked ribs that I have ever had from this restaurant. That can do better than this. I was so disappointed and my wife was disgusted with her meal. I don't know what happened, it will be sometime before I go back. read more
