About this business

Barbecue lovers and chicken fried steak aficionados have been flocking to this popular Heights area family restaurant since 1986. There is no table service, but you are welcome to grab an icy soda or beer from the old fashioned drink case while you wait to order. The rustic wood walls, vintage signs and formica tables spell out casual dining. There is plenty of seating indoors, or you can stake out a table on the small covered patio. On the weekends, there is dinner and a show when bluegrass bands take to the stage in the ba... read more

Overrated – I just have to say the sauce is awesome but the ribs were so fatty I felt I was being ripped off. The chopped beef was mushy as well....not the best in Houston but not the worst either.

Ranch Dressing to die for – I have gone to this place for 4 years now and it's one of those places that you can never get tired of and by far my favorite BBQ place. In Texas, that's saying alot. First off, to the person who dissed the salad bar, that's usually the favorite spot for me because unlike alot of other places that have a token salad bar, theirs is fresh and the ranch dressing is to die for. They also keep all the other goodies (jalepaneos, zuccini sticks, carrots, etc.) there. As for the food, I usually get the gr... read more

Good selection – I went to the Hickory Hollow because I had a coupon but forgot to use it when I was there - duh! I have to eat a low fat diet so I was concerned I wouldn't be able to find anything on the menu but they do have grilled chicken and to my surprise it was really good. The chicken was juicy, tender and came with BBQ sauce on the side. I also had rice and the salad bar - which is a bit lame. It's not much of a salad bar, it's really just lettuce tomatoes and peppers. The dining companion loved his meal and I think... read more

BBQ The food here is OK. On a couple different occasions the brisket has been really dry. The prices are usually high. I give the place an OK, I wouldn't drive across town for the food.

Funky Texan cafe serves comfort foods from grilled steaks and ribs to chicken-fried steak. – In Short Cowboys love this rustic barbecue spot with its wood-plank walls and photos of bluegrass bands. The menu describes the various sizes of chicken fried steak portions, the biggest being "big as a saddle blanket." The juicy catfish po'boy is enormous and the salad bar comes loaded with pickles, jalapenos and salad greens. Ribs are tender and moist and the house barbecue sauce makes anything taste grand. For sides, go with the o... read more

BEST BBQ & STEAKS-CHICKEN FRIED OR GRILLED! – if you don't have a ton of money and you want great bbq and have a family of 4 come here. i guarantee if you do you will take home a people bag. the salad bar contains the freshest salad super cold with crisp lettuce, the chicken fried steak has the perfect breading and instead of the generic cream gravy everyone else serves, they have their own recipe which enhances the meal not cover it up. the ribs and sauce are fab, hot hots are a fav. baked potato with grilled chicken and a ... read more

Excellent for catering – Hickory Hollow provides good food at a great price. One phone call is all it takes...they do all the work and supply all the trimmings for BBQ even the tea. Just save room for dessert!!

Largest chicken fried steak you 've ever seen! – Aside from serving the largest chicken fried steak (even the smallest is huge!) the salad bar bowl is always fresh and tasty! If you go to listen to the free music and order a glass of wine, it is like a two for one deal 'cause it comes in a mason jar and you get alot for your money. If you go for lunch or during the day stop at Heights station next door to walk off your food and top off your Texas experience.
