In town for work. Only steakhouse near my hotel. The other reviews and pics did not do it justice. I thought I'd have to order from a counter and receive food in a basket, but not the case! Full service restaurant, great friendly staff/service. Food was great. read more

The Hickory - Yummy appetizer. - Barbeque Near Me - Rexburg, Idaho

Tried to go to their sister restaurant (Hickory in the Pines) in Island Park today for lunch. Prices were quite high for the area and they didn't have any lighter fare options on the menu. Meats you had to purchase a combination platter for $40. When we asked about it, we overheard the manager state "if they don't like our menu, they can leave", which is exactly what we did. Food may be good, don't know, but their customer service isn't. read more

I gotta be honest this one wasn't my absolute favorite. The weight staff was great hosts and the waitress were very helpful. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very kind of made a heck of a raspberry iced tea[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] just that the food wasn't all that great. The cut of meat wasn't that impressive of just for the prices it just to me wasn't the best bargain out there. I ordered a ribeye and honestly, I would've compared it to sizzler. read more

The only problem with this place, particularly for a tourist who may only get one opportunity at a meal, is what the heck to choose from the menu, which has too too many things from which to choose. We got a chicken bacon ranch wrap and a Brisky Burger that comes topped with that slow cooked brisket. And the cactus tails (onion strings) and cheese curds on the side. I mean doesn't that already sound like a killer selection of food...in just one meal! Postscript: the burger is to die for excellent; Not so much the wrap, although the avocado salsa makes it good. The cheese curds have never been my thing, but these are great and the onion straws are delish too. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Oh and the final thing...light lemonade with no-sugar strawberry sauce...wow![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

All our food was amazing. Our server was cute, friendly and fast. The pulled pork sandwich was so smokey and tender. I love their coleslaw. We had the appetizer platter, so good! 5 of us ate for 130 bucks including a $30 tip. This place is in a strip mall along with many other restaurants and a cold stone creamery. No need to visit cold stone because we were so full, no dessert was needed. Loved the decor. And the food.yum! read more

Soooo good! The meat was well seasoned, flavorful, and tender. Runs a little on the salty side, which is how I like it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Specialty soda and lemonades have free refills.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They even offered one to go.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] EAT HERE and bring your appetite. read more

We hadn't been much for a few years but we went again this week and it was even better than ever!! I used to be die hard for several other local bbq places but this is the go to again! read more

Great lunch at the Hickory. We tried all kinds of things. The potato bomb with the burnt ends is always delicious. Had that Apple pecan salad and it was very good. Also had a brisket sandwich, and a hamburger with brisket on it. Everything was delicious. The tots are great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have a great drink selection.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was excellent. We had a large group and they easily sat us and another large group that came right after us. We will definitely be back read more

I have tried several menu items and they have been fun and tasty. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I enjoy their drinks menu, where I can add a variety of flavors to their lemonade or a soft drink.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Brisky business is a favorite sandwich for me. But the salmon dish is really good too with a smoke flavor, and topped with avocado salsa and a nice mix of grilled veggies. read more

The decor is fun and nice. The food I ordered was somewhere between okay and good. Most places have nice, thick shakes. For some reason the shakes are super runny. Maybe some like that consistency, but not I. The Elvis Pigsley burger has a weird ground pork flavor for the patty. And the fries were okay. Our server hardly ever checked in on us and it took a good long while to get our food. The only reason I'm giving this place 3 stars is because I tried what my wife ordered and it was way better. She ordered the Nacho Wrap and cheese curds. read more

There were fours of us eating: 2 had 3 meat BBQ platter, 1 had a potato bomb and Cole slaw and 1 had the fried shrimp & steak. We also had the sampler appetizer. Everything was delicious and we are bringing home 4 leftover boxes full. Our server Landon was excellent. He was very polite and attentive! Wish we were here longer so we could go back but we do have our leftovers to look forward to. read more

the service is great but the food is really not that good and over priced. I have ate here a couple times and it gets worst

We would love to have tasted this food, but when went in at 3.pm on a Wednesday, we could not find anyone to serve us.

The service was good and friendly. The food was fine. Not great, but fine. The kids mini corn dogs were terrible.

Absolutely favorite restaurant in Rexburg! Must try! Food is filling and hearty, the service has always been good, love the entire menu that I've tried. Huckleberry cheesecake is a must have! Can feed 2-3 people. read more

I ate at The Hickory while working in Rexburg. I ordered the prime rib, it was a touch over cooked but it was good. The Mac and cheese was amazing, very creamy. The server called me boss, I really didn't appreciate that but I'll let it slide. Overall, I would go back and try it again. read more

I've never done a review. I grew up in Tennessee and southwest Missouri. We cut oak and hickory trees for firewood and for cooking and smoking meat. We used axes and hatchets. We didn't have chainsaws. I tried this Hickory restaurant a few times in rexburg. Which is where I live now. For quite a while. That food they sell is dressed up fast food. It's not hickory wood cooked or smoked. I know that. Ask them where they get their meat. Ask them where they get their supplies. Probably the same place the local jail gets theirs. Ask them if they burn hickory to smoke or cook anything. That's not real food. It's dressed up fast food. Nothing more. We used hickory wood to stay warm. To cook. And to smoke Food and meat. They blaspheme what hickory wood can really do. It's quite sad what they have done to the good name of hickory wood. I doubt most will understand what I'm saying. But I'll stick to killing and cooking my own meat. At least it's honest. And tastes much better. And better for you than that dressed up overpriced fast food. I tried to give an honest review. Sincerely, JMRussell. read more

Probably the best restaurant in town. Anytime I have guest visiting This is where I bring them to.

Not a fan of the food overall. Terrible server!! Spilled ranch on a person and was awkward about it. At one point asked for a wet rag and they brought out mini wipes in packets which did nothing. The Frankenstein Burger however happened to be great! Maybe would get this again but only if it was takeout!! read more

Had The Hickory cater a wedding event for 40 up at Island Park. They were amazing. Delivery & full service was awesome and perfect. They took care of everything and let us enjoy the dinner. Food was amazing. Can't recommend the brisket, pulled pork, and apple crisp enough. We also visited the restaurant prior to our event. The meal was excellent with great service. Can't understand some of the negative reviews after our experiences. read more

I ate here last year during the peak of Covid when everything was shut down in WA. Idaho was open and it was fantastic. I came back to try it out again. I called ahead the day before to get reservations. Had them booked for 7pm for 6 people. She took down my name and phone number. Showed up and they didn't have me on the list. The restaurant was packed. We ended up waiting about 15 minutes. The manager was very apologetic. We sat down and had a great waitress. She took our drink order and brought them pretty quickly. She was very friendly and upbeat and even brought me a GF menu. Food came out 20ish min later. I had the smoked prime rib med rare. The cook on it was perfect. It was supposed to be prime, but honestly seemed more like choice. It had some tough parts but overall it was very good. The flavor was fantastic. I couldn't finish it all. I got the sweet potato fries and coke slaw. The slaw was awesome. Very much how I make my own. The fries were just normal, as expected. The sweet butter is always a hit. This is a place to keep coming back to until I've tried what I can. read more

The Hickory - Prime rib - Barbeque Near Me - Rexburg, Idaho

I'm OBSESSED with this place! Absolutely LOVE their food and everything about it. Services exceeds my expectations every time, food comes out in a timely manner, and the servers are just amazing. The sweet pork salad is by far my favorite, I love it every time I go. Also, the atmosphere is just amazing! I love the setup, the people, the cleanliness, and the music. It's always been a good experience here, only complaint is that too many other people like it and I can't have it to myself! Again, I love it here. Highly recommend. read more

Frustrating experience on 7/4/23, I stopped in with family for dinner. There was 10 of us. We split the bill into 2. Food was fine and all. Waitress asked if we were done and came up to us and said give me your card. Would not give us a bill, ran back to her computer a few times as she didn't have the bill correct she was saying. Then I asked for a copy to review and she shows me this payment screen and scrolls it. Things are not adding up in my head as the price was outrageous for a family of 5. I paid and then she brings a receipt and on the bottom it had a 20% gratuity that never was spoken about. The menu only stated that " gratuity may be added for parties of 10 or more" Granted I understand big parties take more, all I wanted was communication and not act sneaky as the waitress did. I have no problem paying for large parties. When talking to the manager, my sister in law felt dismissed and her perspective was not even listened to. I refuse to return to this establishment in my opinion based off of my experience. I felt taken advantage of and sneaky by the waitress. read more

I'm always up for BBQ and the Hickory is a solid 4 star restaurant. The menu is typical and fulfilled my expectations. I tried the beef brisket which had a fantastic flavor, texture, and moisture. I also tried the pulled pork. It was a little dry so that was disappointing. The aide dishes are also just right, in choices, flavor, and portion. Where The Hickory stands out is with their extensive flavored lemonade menu! Yum! I tried the peachy blueberry and will be craving that from now on. read more

The Hickory - My prime rib meal. It's so good! - Barbeque Near Me - Rexburg, Idaho

I was in Rexburg for business this last week and planned to take some potential new hires out to dinner. With options in Rexburg being notoriously sparse this new establishment popped up and I thought we would give it a shot. Going in with low expectations I was pleasantly surprised! The food here was average for bbq but great for the Rexburg area in a strip mall of all places. It's definitely a better option than the Costa vida next door. I got the three meat platter with brisket burnt ends and turkey. The brisket and turkey was a pleasant surprise as they were actually pretty darn good, and while the burnt ends were good they weren't candied/twice smoked the way they should be but still great. The sides were also good...take a note and get the bacon green beans. They took me back to my great grandmother's beans...they are wonderful. Others in our group got the burgers and they also pleased. All in all for an urban style BBQ joint it's a 4 star in Rexburg 3 star anywhere else. If you are in town give it a shot. read more

I have eaten here twice in the last Month. Service was great both times even though it was very busy. The first time I got my burger medium well and it was a very tasty burger. The last time I forgot to tell them medium and it was very well done( too done) but my error. I would definitely recommend. Lots of choices on the menu. read more

No refills on drinks, waitress never checked on food. French fries were served cold and hard. Sandwiches more bread than meat and toppings. We've tried it a few different times but won't be back again. Definitely over priced for the food served. Last time going due to inconsistency of their food. read more

We had a fantastic experience! The food is really great and the service was excellent! We will be back when we come back to the area!

Great BBQ when you're in Rexburg. Have been here multiple times and never disappointed. I generally stick to the brisket and pulled pork, but my fellow diners have raved about the other menu items. This is permanently on my list of favorites when I'm in Eastern Idaho. read more

The portions have been cut back on some dishes probably to save money. I sometimes order the shrimp and I noticed the portion was cut back and the price raised. The food is good with our family favorites the brisket sandwich. read more

So we have been wanting to try this place after being in town visiting a few times. Now that we moved here we got the chance! It did not disappoint!! The menu has so many appealing items to choose from. We started with the sampler. We enjoyed all the items even if the onion ones were a bit over cooked, they still had good flavor. One kid got the flat rock pepperoni pizza kid meal and the other the cheeseburger. Both were impressed. Husband didn't think the chicken fried steak was very flavorful. I had the Honey Badger burger. It was delicious and huge!! I could only barely eat half , even with sharing bites with everyone!!! We definitely will be back! The staff was very friendly and the ambiance of the place was great! Loved the signs and wall decore read more

This was our first time to Rexburg. I enjoy checking out the local BBQ places when traveling. We were very impressed with The Hickory. A lot of variety on the menu. We loved the cheese curd appetizers! The meats had a great smoky flavor. The pulled pork was our favorite. The sliced brisket was dry but had good flavor. The prices were cheap compared to other BBQ places we have eaten at. Our server, Katie, was the highlight of the meal. Warm and friendly and our drinks were never empty the entire meal - very attentive. Fun place. We will have to come back if we are ever in the area. read more

Food came out cold fries where cold burger was cold and dry had a hard time getting it down. Service was good.
