Hickory House

I had really high hopes for this place. We drove 20 minutes out of the way to stop here on our way home from Nashville. We almost missed it because there is NO outside lighting at all! Only one blinking «Open» sign in the window was the clue anyone was even there.
We seated ourselves as directed, and a lady came around and told us our server would be with us shortly, but got us our sweet teas. 10 minutes later, Larry finally came around and introduced himself as our server and took our orders. About another 15 minutes later, our food arrived; it was hot and fresh, but I was missing my baked beans. I didn’t bother to ask about them when the lady (not Larry, our server) brought our food, assuming Larry just never rang them in.
The same lady, possibly the manager, refilled our teas while Larry and the lady who originally brought us our drinks tended to 4 other 2-​tops, a 6-​top, and a table of about a dozen pipeliners — who got the most attention. I get it; they get more attention because they order bigger = better tip. I’ve been in food service for over 11 years, and I tend to my customers all the same. I feel like our trip out of the way was in vain — the bbq was good, but not $ 32-​good for 2 sandwiches and 2 sweet teas. Shouldve just gone to Arby’s.

Fantastic bb-​q restaurant. Local ownership, local hickory wood used in the smoking process; equals unmistakable flavor. Edible without the sauce! ! Love it for take-​out, too.

Excellent food and service. Had the brisket dinner. Was in town on business. What a find.

The has the best brisket I’ve had!
This is a bit off the highway from the south, maybe 5 miles, but well worth it.
I had the brisket jalapeño pepper jack sandwich with fries. It was incredible. There vinegar based sauce is better than anything I’ve had in the Carolina.
The coconut pie is awesome, plus Tammy our waitress, is a gem!

Omg ! Wonderful. best we (me and my wife) dawn… ever ate… the place smells wonderful… our waitress was great… a must when u go order the spice sweet pickles… since it was our first time there. She did not charge us for the pickles. …I had the grilled chicken green beans mashpotates mmmmmm wonderful. and my wife had pulled pork shepherds pie… she loved it. and bake beans colslaw… the bake beans are wonderful and the slaw… we r here one more night at stonewall resort and we plan to go eat here again and grab a quart of pickles to take home to pittsburgh… and we are already planning road trip with friend to bring them all here to eat… wonderful ! It is only 9 miles from resort ! Also on table there is 2 kinda of barbecue sauce on the table… the best I ever had… might see if we can purchase them also ! Highly recommend this place. So worth it !

Visited for my dad’s birthday. We started with an order of onion petals which the waitress said they’re now onion straws. We gave those a try. They were very tasty, but for $ 8 the serving size left more to be desired. We each only got a couple. My brother ordered the ½ rack of ribs and fries and his fries were basically nonexistent. My dad and I ordered the full rack meal which came with beans, Cole slaw, and cinnamon apples. I also added an order of Mac and cheese for a steep $ 4. The ribs were wonderful and fall off the bone. We didn’t like either of the sauce options so we just ate them without. The Mac and cheese wasn’t bad but wasn’t good. The beans and cole slaw were good. Splitting the full rack meal between two people is a good idea. Service was lacking. We went a long time without drinks and napkins. Overall the actual meat was delicious. Appetizer and sides left more to be desired as well as the service

Stopped here on our return trip home to Pittsburgh from Atlanta. I was looking for something on Unilocal and after searching 3 times this place came up. O.M.G. we got the pickles as recommended here. I don’t even like pickles but I tried them and we ended up bringing a quart home. I got the brisket sandwich and my hubby got the pulled pork. Hands down the best brisket I’ve ever had and I’m a foodie. Can’t say enough good about this place. Clean, very friendly staff and great service. Well worth the short out of the way drive to get there.

Marketed as the «Best BBQ in WV»… And they are probably correct… Décor is nice, service is ok, wait for food is longer than expected, quality of food is Good, after eating here multiple times though taste vary based on the day you go… Much better for lunch than for dinner… pulled jalapeño pork or brisket and cheddar sandwich are best on menu… Ribs are A-​… If you are looking for something extraordinary Hot Pickles are what you seek! Made there exclusive. cut off from the world is the only draw back, as there is no cell service and limited wifi… It’s not a bad place to disconnect from the grid!

Really, really good food. We came to Weston for the Halloween Asylum Ball, found this hidden gem here on Unilocal,so glad we decided to try it out. The wife doesn’t like bbq, I of course love it, so she was hesitant at first. That changed within a few minutes and now we’re planing on going again before we leave town in a few days. At first it seemed more pricy, but once we got our food I noticed the portions were huge, so it evened out. The bbq sauce was really good so I bought a quart to take home. The place had a easy going vibe and the staff was really friendly. Recommended for any bbq lover.

I at the Hickory House here twice, I’d give it 5 stars and 3 stars based on those visits.
My first visit, very pleased. Ordered the BBQ pork platter. The BBQ was delicious, not drenched in sauce, minced vs pulled, but minor point. My second visit, ordered Ribs, they were over cooked and dry.
Both times got the baked beans, and excellent candied apples as sides. Want bread? Ask. I enjoyed quick and friendly service on both visits.
Two sauces on the table for those who feel the need. North Carolina style, very good, and a sweet-​smokey sauce. Both tasted home made.
Far better than the fast food options nearby, Hickory House is worth the drive off the highway and out of Weston.

After seeing several signs along interstate 79 for the Hickory House I figured it was about time to stop by. I am a Barbecue nut so I was very happy to say the least. When I pulled in I could smell the smokers immediately which is always a great sign. I had the brisket platter with garlic mashed potatoes and slaw. The brisket had a great smokey flavor and was extremely tender and juicy, the sides were great despite being fairly simple dishes. I highly recommend a side order of their house made pickles, they were worth the price. They also make a delicious coconut cream pie if you like that sort of thing. The ambiance of the place is exactly what one would expect from a great off the beaten path barbecue joint. Overall I say that this place is excellent and well worth the visit, even if it’s out of the way.

4.5 stars
Stopped by here since it was a stone’s throw away from the Stonewall Resort. None of the restaurant options at the resort wowed us and we wanted to go somewhere local.
I had the ribs, and my dining companion grabbed some pulled pork. His dish was good. Mine was definitely the better find.
5 Stars for the ribs alone! Have you ever gone back to a rib you already gnawed on because it tasted so good? The smoke ring alone (see here
) on the ribs tell you exactly how smokey and tender they are. I nibbled on those ribs twice after i set them down!
Comes with a couple sides. I thought the stewed apples were okay, and the green beans were fine. Definitely get the sauteed mushrooms and onions though, those are definitely worth it.
Service was quick and friendly. Also, beware that Route 19 is out from one direction, and that cell phone service is scarce.

I’ve ate here a few times over the last 4 years, always good. The pulled pork is excellent, as is the brisket. Baked beans are good, but don’t miss the garlic mashed potatoes… excellent! Staff were friendly and fast.
Drove about half an hour out of our way to eat here several times in about a week. Well worth it.
