Yelp.com Review - by Nikkie F.

3.0 of 5 stars. This place is a hole in the wall, in a run down strip mall -- which, by the way of the world should mean that it's this amazing little find that no one would ever suspect, and in many ways it is. And...

Yelp.com Review - by Scott L.

2.0 of 5 stars. One of the worst BBQ spots in Atlanta. I've eaten here for lunch numerous times and I leave disappointed most of the time. Horrible Brunswick Stew and Pork. I heard their Breakfast is good. But, I'm...

Yelp.com Review - by George C.

3.0 of 5 stars. I started going to various Old Hickory House restaurants as a child with my parents, in the 50's. There were at least six of them, and they all had open pits slowly smoking that lovely pork. The...

Yelp.com Review - by Teresa M.

5.0 of 5 stars. We ordered Old Hickory House for a family reunion/birthday party I hosted at home, for about 30 people. Old Hickory House is my in-laws favorite barbeque so I thought I would give them a try. They...

Yelp.com Review - by Frank L.

2.0 of 5 stars. If you don't mind smelling like smoked pork after you leave, this might be a good place to eat. Only been for breakfast and not a big fan. Food was a bit greasy and the smoke smell is a bit...

Can you say biscuits by Anne L. at InsiderPages

This place has the best biscuits around. We sometimes go up there on Sunday mornings for take-out biscuits. They also have great items available for catering. My family loves the sweet potato souffle.

Best breakfast

good food for breakfast. dont like the pancakes but the eggs and bacon and grits are southern style. I overall enjoyed it since my job paid for all of us to eat breakfast as a group.

Economical with Especially Good Breakfasts

We've eaten breakfast, lunch, and dinners here and they're all recommended, but our family prefers the breakfasts. It's a treat to have a delicious and large breakfast there. Service is friendly and expert.

Good Food by Stephanie E. at InsiderPages

I have eaten here for breakfast/brunch-- you get a lot of food for your money. Lunch and dinner are the usual when it comes to a BBQ place. Their veggies are good. Service is good but slow-- get it to go if...

Yelp.com Review - by Robbie H.

4.0 of 5 stars. This location and the one in Dunwoody are the only location left of what was a chain of restaurants around town in the 70s and 80s. Other reviewers think it looks dirty and the decor is tired? Sure,...

Just plain bad

We just moved to the area from Decatur and we're looking for a breakfast spot on par with Decatur's selection. This is NOT it. Firstly, the place is dirty. It was clearly built and designed in the 80s. It's...

Best Breakfast

I have been eating breakfast at this location for several years. They have the largest pancakes in town. They are so large that you may need to split an order with someone. The service is friendly and the...

Too Smoky by Shanda D. at InsiderPages

The food is good and the prices are reasonable. If you aren't use to the smoking of meat I advise that you get your food to go. You will smell like a piece of meat when you leave.

Unbelievable Breakfast by Jennifer(K) N. at InsiderPages

Many Sundays we go for breakfast here. It is great. The BBQ omelet is always worth getting. The gravy biscuits are wonderful. The service is very friendly. We all love this place

Ehh, it's so-so

I'd like to give it 2 1/2 stars. It's not bad, but it's not great. Everything I had, from barbeque to sides, was cooked to mush, and not in a good way. The barbeque itself is a little sweet for my taste. The...

Yelp.com Review - by Mrs. M.

2.0 of 5 stars. Barbeque choices are very personal, so I mean no offense to anyone who likes Old Hickory House, but I find it kind of blah. It's not bad, but it's not great. Everything I had, from barbeque to sides,...

You can't beat their stew and their BBQ pork!

Hickory House has the #1 BBQ and Brunswick stew in my book! I used to eat at the Old Hickory House across from Columbia Mall near Avondale, GA beginning in the 1970's until it closed. I've eaten at all the...

Time after time

I've eaten at many of the Hickory House locations over the past 40 years and am grateful this one is still around. Not the cleanest place, but the barbeque will keep you coming back (even if you take-out).

Meat old, veggies out of a can

We tried out Old Hickory House and were very disappointed. The chopped pork was flavorless, as if it had been beaten to death. My green beans tasted as if they'd come straight out of a can. Only the iced tea...

4.0 of 5 stars. As a Georgia native, my siblings and I rolled out of the womb looking for the nearest barbecue joint. After trying them all, we stuck with Old Hickory House. Having tried Brunswick stew all over the...

The BBQ standard

Been eating there for almost 25 years. My friend uses the Old Hickory House to rate all other BBQ he eats. I ask, "Bob, better than Hickory House?" and he says, "Nope." I got 4 guys at work hooked on it. They...

Great Barbecue But Restaurant Needs A Makeover

There is no way to fault the barbecue which is the Old Hickory House specialty. And the breakfast and brunch items are top notch. The veteran waitstaff who call you "Darlin" and race around to make sure your...

No matter where I am I love to stop by and pick some of this up. The folks working there seem to have been there forever and are friendly. Food is high in all the wrong kinda things but it couldn't taste any...
