About this business

Barbecue lovers and chicken fried steak aficionados have been flocking to this popular Heights area family restaurant since 1986.

Overrated but not bad – I'm a native Texan but am now living out of state. I come back to visit family from time to time and am always craving my hometown BBQ. This summer, my sister raved about Hickory Hollow and wanted to show it off to my husband and I on our visit and swore up and down that it was as good as we were going to get in H-town for the price and portions...but she warned us she had only been to the original location near 1960 and that her friends said they were better than the Heights' Hickory Hollow. The Heig... read more

Great Food – Ok, I'm not big on BBQ, in fact I hate BBQ (and yes I'm a native Texan) but I have ordered from Hickory Hollow on numerous occassions for work. The portions are huge and the chicken is not dry, as one would expect in a buffet. The prices are reasonable and they take care of everything.

Good smaritan saves the day – We visited the Hickory Hollow restaurant in the Heights on Monday after walking our dogs. After walking down heights blvd. we were searching for a dog friendly restaurant and found a fantastic one. It was great service and superb food. The have a huge patio in the back that is enclosed by a chain link fence. We got to chow down while the dogs stayed near by. I lost my wallet in the parking lot that night and a customer found it and went through great lengths to get it back to me. I was truly ble... read more

GREAT Senses of Humor – I'm not big on BBQ. I go to Hickory Hollow for the Bluegrass bands and the chicken fried steak. I like going there because the other customers make me feel skinny. Everything is big in Texas, they say. What I especially loved was the service- they know how to smile and they remember your names after just one visit. That is key in my book for me to return somewhere, or recommend it to someone. It doesn't take that much to smile, or be nice.

Not Much! – My boyfriend and I recently went to Hickory Hollow ready to sink our teeth into some good ole bbq. When my boyfriend received his meal, it was such a small portion that a fast food meal would have been more. The bbq was fairly good but when you pay a high price for a meal, you should get more than 2 slices of meat! Ok food but would not go back again.
