Hickory Hills Barbeque

The best BBQ place around!!! Their pork/​chicken nachos are the BEST! Love this place!

I have ordered here many many times and quite simply all I can say is EVERYTIME the food was delicious and the staff friendly. That’s all you really need to know. You cannot go wrong eating here thats for sure.
5*****

Excellent BBQ and equally delicious sides. I really respect that they do it «their» way. You better get there early to get ribs on the days they make ribs (Friday and Saturday I believe?). Then in late fall they close up shop until spring… in early March I start looking for the smoke rolling out of the smoker!

Great food! Really fast and very friendly. This place is really small and fills up quickly at lunch but that doesn’t take away from their service. We got our food in less than 5 minutes during the rush of lunch!

Thus place was very reasonable. We got the boss hog and a rack of ribs, so yummy! Try the key lime pie its to die for! Definitely placed the the top 5 for me nationally and I eat a lot of different bbq.

Great (non-​franchise) option we hit up on our outlet/​canoeing trip to Edinburgh. Husband had ½ lb pulled pork sandwich and I had ½ lb smoked chicken. Both were so tender with just the right amount of smoke. They had two sauces (a sweet and a hot). We each had our favorite. Sides are nothing to write home about, but it really is all about the meat, isn’t it? Staff was low-​key and friendly. All said and done (with drinks) $ 20. Money well spent.

This place is really a gem in an area full of chain restaurants. The brisket was my absolute favorite. Thick cut, flavorful, amazing. Nice that you can sauce everything to your liking. Extremely reasonably priced, and very friendly people. It’s not a fine dining place by any means (limited seating) I will deff be going again!

Great BBQ with trifecta of meats… Spicy Cole slaw was great and the beans slurpolicous!

Loved their ribs. Sauces were finger licking. Better get there quick, popular place and when the are out they are out.

Very tasty pork BBQ. Small seating area but can do take out. One of the best BBQ places in the area!

It has taken me two months to write this review because I wanted to make sure I wrote how I really felt instead of something that was just in the moment out of anger because of the service. The ONLY reason I am giving one star is because the food was good but I would absolutely never recommend it for catering, especially for your wedding.
I booked this place because when I called they were very nice and accommodating. Never had a bad feeling about it and I was very pleased with the price and the fact that they deliver and set up for free. I called a month before the wedding to confirm. However many pounds of pulled pork, Cajun coleslaw, Mac n cheese, and baked beans. $ 7 a person. Perfect. Called a week before to confirm the same. THEY called me a day before to confirm again. Awesome. I couldn’t be more confident that we were getting meat, and 3 sides for $ 7 a person. They day of the wedding they come and set everything up. I get up to the line to get our food with my new husband. No Cajun coleslaw. Not a big deal. I work in the restaurant business and understand these things happen. I went up to the guy who was waiting for us to pay and kindly told him that I had confirmed 3 times that we were also supposed to have Cajun coleslaw, and i didn’t want to pay the amount I had been quoted since I had been quoted for $ 7 a person with 3 sides, not two. But I said it wasn’t a big deal and I could call the office Monday to figure it all out (he said he wasn’t the manager he was just helping out that weekend)
About 30 minutes later the owner rolls up, decides to park his huge catering van basically right in the middle of where we are trying to have our reception, and nags the bartenders to get me for him. At this point we are in the middle of speeches, first dances, and the wedding that we get to have one day of our entire lives. I can literally see him staring me down through the doorway of the kitchen. I finally have a second so I try to hunt down my groom because he has the credit card, finally come to the conclusion that it is BS that I’m spending time out of my wedding day to deal with this when this is something THEY messed up on. I finally confronted the manager/​owner and said this is BS that I’m missing part of my wedding trying to deal with something that was your fault. I said id call the next day to sort everything out. He told me that he needed a credit card immediately. Told me he never got a confirmation and I never ordered the cole slaw. Excuse me. I confirmed 3 times. I went ahead and gave him the card because at this point I was very upset that this all was happening while I was trying to enjoy our wedding reception. He only gave us a 10% discount which didn’t suffice for the amount of food I thought we were getting and didn’t. And I never got an apology. And I feel like I missed out on an entire hour of my reception because I was either stressed trying to sneak away to deal with it, or trying to find my groom to help me. This is time I can unfortunately never get back, and I feel like I was disrespected, and screwed out of money/​or food we should have gotten. Super disappointed in how this turned out, not because there was a mistake but 100% how it was handled.

Holy moly. I almost cried everything was so delicious!!! Beef brisket was perfectly made. And the chicken, white, fresh, thoroughly cooked, pork was so delicious! Nachos was outrageous.
Overall they are too generous with their portions. I saved the rest of my meal for breakfast the next day. Gotta get the potato salad and coleslaw too!

This place has the best brisket I have ever had! We eat here at least once a month.
The only reason I don’t give 5 stars is because the lack of seating. There are only 6 tables inside and has some outside tables. I also wish they were open during the winter months.

This is by far the best BBQ restaurant I have ever eaten at!!! Their food is amazing! Their sauces are even better! And when you combine the two, it’ll make your taste buds go to heaven!!! :) their service is great as well.

I’ll admit, I’ve never set foot in the business, but my husband worked close by for quite some time. He brought us home the beef brisket and pulled pork in several occasions. This last week he had to go near there again to inspect a bridge. He called and ask me if I wanted some, OF COURSE!
This is by far the best brisket I’ve ever had the pleasure of tasting. Absolutely delicious, moist, smokey flavored. Really no add ins are needed with the brisket. It’s great all it’s own.
I also love their potato salad. Being from the deep South I am used to more of a mustard potato salad (most people around here use mayo). So, theirs is as close to southern I can get these days.
Cole slaw: It was a bit weird the first time I tasted it as it is a light orange color and spicy. After eating it a couple times I’ve come to like it very well.
Overall, their food here is amazing. Every chance my husband has to go to Edinburg we will be getting take out. Absolutely love it!

3.5 Stars
Those that know me know I’m a BBQ snob. This place is definitely on the right track and worth a followup visit. I was disappointed they had no ribs on my visit, but that’s okay… because if you smoke anything, I’ll give it a shot! I went with the brisket and baked beans while my wife chose pulled pork and slaw. They also have daily specials, including ribs. But the BBQ gods must not have been blessing me this day.
You definitely get a «homey» feeling when you walk in Hickory Hills. You walk in, order, wait a few, get your food, sit down and devour. For extra ‘Merican, simply repeat.
I’m a Hoosier at heart… and it’s a challenge to find delicious authentic que in Indiana. But, as I said earlier, this place is on the right track — they get it. My brisket’s flavor and tenderness was spot on. There was a good defined smoke ring. The only thing missing was juiciness. The same rings true with the pork — good smoke, flavor and bark, but no juiciness. I reckon both meats sat too long before being served. I would like to try some meat right off the smoker… that could be enough to scoot Hickory Hills up a few spots in my book.
One must… and I say MUST for a BBQ joint is good ‘olé southern sweet tea. Hickory Hill’s sweet tea tastes like a store mix… so go with a carbonated beverage or simply stick with water.
If you’re in the area, definitely check this place out! It’s unlike anything else in Edinburgh (is there anything else in Edinburgh?).

My son brought Hickory Hills Barbeque beef brisket to us tonight. Ohmygosh! It’s unbelievably good! Tender, tasty and terrific! I would drive the hour and a half there just to get more of it. Son says everything he’s had there is just as good. I had the mild sauce — tangy and sweet, just the way I like it!

This is by far the best place to grab a bite to eat in Edinburgh! I work close by and hit this joint up usually about once a week. All the meat is freshly smoked right on the property and not shipped on like other places. The BBQ pulled pork is absolutely fantastic. Their jambalaya, smoked chicken, and smoked sausage is also a huge hit with the local populace.

A barbeque place is one of the last places you’d find a Vegetarian. But, when I found myself at Hickory Hills I was delighted to find some of the best side dishes — potato salad and the cole slaw have the traditional recipes with some added punch! The prices and selection are very reasonable.
Parking and seating are often a challenge during peak lunch hours… but they also have a back room and outdoor additional seating.
Although I have not tried any of the main dishes, I have been delighted by the sides and dessert options at Hickory Hills BBQ.

Now this is what BBQ is about. This is not the type of place we would stop at under normal circumstances, but thanks to a good Unilocal,we thankfully pulled in.
Great friendly Indiana folks that certainly know how to smoke up some ribs. The ribs were meaty, perfectly tender and falling off the bone.
