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!

Barely any jalapeño flavor. The agave as sweetener doesn't really lend much flavor either. Brunswick stew was good. Portions are quite small but the quality is there.

As soon as we walked in, the smell of the brisket hit us... sooo good. The place looked clean, and I liked that they had all the to-go stuff (plates, bags, sauces) out on the counter so you don't have to ask for anything, very convenient. The loaded fries were a 10/10. Their BBQ sauce is so good too. Prices were reasonable. The cashier definitely gave off "I'm just here to do my job" vibes lol. no small talk, just straight to the point. Honestly, I respect it. Not everyone is in the mood to chat and that's okay. Overall, we had a good experience and would come back for sure!

Our first attempt to visit Old Hickory House on Monday didn't work out because they're closed on…read moreMondays. Fortunately, we were still in the area and made it back today. Old Hickory House traces its roots back to 1955, and the Tucker location, which opened in 1974, is now the last remaining Old Hickory House restaurant. The place still has that classic Southern barbecue feel with wood-paneled walls, comfortable booths, and decades of history around every corner. Fans of Smokey and the Bandit will also recognize the famous Diablo Sandwich connection. According to restaurant lore, Jackie Gleason ad-libbed the line, "Give me a Diablo sandwich and a Dr Pepper, and make it fast. I'm in a hurry!" during the movie. The line became one of the film's most memorable quotes, and Old Hickory House proudly keeps the Diablo Sandwich on the menu today. After hearing how spicy it is, I decided to leave that challenge for someone else. I ordered the sliced pork platter with collard greens and a bowl of Brunswick stew. Most of the pulled pork I eat is shredded, so I decided to try sliced pork for a change. I enjoyed the different texture, and it actually changed the way the barbecue sauce interacted with the meat. The pork was tender and smoky with some excellent bark mixed throughout. The barbecue sauce was different from both the Carolina-style sauces and the thicker sauces I'm used to back home in Ohio. It wasn't overly thick, had a flavor all its own, and complemented the pork well. Our server made sure we never ran short, bringing out extra sauce whenever we needed it. The collard greens were very good. The leaves seemed larger and darker than many collard greens I've had elsewhere, and they were flavorful enough that I enjoyed eating them just as they were without adding anything extra. I've now had Brunswick stew at three different Georgia barbecue restaurants during this trip, and Old Hickory House's version was the most stew-like of the three. It was thicker, chunkier, and loaded with visible tomatoes, corn, and meat. The menu describes it as "zesty," and that's an accurate description. It had a little more kick than the other versions I've tried this week and was clearly a recipe they take pride in. The service was excellent. Our server was attentive throughout the meal and took care of all the little things that make a difference. She checked on us regularly, brought out extra sauces without hesitation, and even offered to-go beverages before we left. Nothing felt rushed, and she made us feel welcome from start to finish. One final note: the portions were generous. In fact, I couldn't even finish all of the sliced pork, so part of it came home with me for later. Old Hickory House isn't trying to be trendy or reinvent barbecue. It's simply continuing a tradition that has been serving the Atlanta area for more than seventy years, and there's something refreshing about that. If you're looking for classic Southern barbecue, homemade Brunswick stew, and a restaurant with a genuine sense of history, Old Hickory House is well worth a visit.

As soon as you walk in, you smell the amazing barbecue aromas that are baked into the wood over the years. The restaurant looks just like it did back in the 70s when they filmed the smoky and the bandit there. That was greeted promptly by my server on my last visit as well as previous visits and they always do a good job checking up on you while you're eating to make sure you don't need anything else. I've eaten here three or four times in the last month. I just can't get enough of it!

I had an opportunity to sample their brisket and macaroni and cheese at a bridal expo that I attended and it was actually really really good. I decided to finally give the restaurant a chance Since they have mixed reviews. Not gonna lie I was disappointed, I ordered the brisket sandwich, macaroni and cheese and lemonade. The brisket wasn't seasoned well enough and while tender, it had a ton of fatty pieces in it. The bun taste like they took it straight out of the bag, which honestly is not that serious but geez . The meal was under $10 so complaining too much is a waste of time but I really expected more. The team at the counter were super nice, and the banana pudding taste great. There's not much to say on ambience. It's just a clean restaurant in the North Decatur area.

Well, I've been here enough times to form an honest opinion and let's just say I will not be a regular, if I even come back. I will start off saying that the mac and cheese is the star of the show. That, the did get right. Each time I have checked out this place the ribs were an epic fail. On this particular day they were tough and old tasting, the potato salad was nothing but potatoes and heavy Mayo, with no thought of an actual recipe, but instead just thrown together. The brisket was decent, but not great. As people came in other patrons were advising them not to get the pulled pork, that it wasn't good that day. If I ever go back it would be for the Mac and cheese alone. I've had better bbq and do not recommend this establishment.
