Southern Hickory Barbecue

So good!! It's totally worth driving an hour to get this bbq. The potato salad and beans are very good and the sweet tea. The people are very nice. All so good! We love this place.

The food they have is very good, but the menu choices are rather limited. This is to-go only (no inside dining). During the pandemic they quit using the walk up window on the front of the building, and became drive thru only. There are a few sheltered outdoor dining tables near the walk up window, but it's rather bizarre to have to go through the drive thru to get food, and then park and take your food to the tables beside the unused walk up window, if you wanted to eat on site. In spite of the fact that they are drive thru only, service is usually pretty quick (one of the advantages of limited menu choices). They used to close at 7:00pm but as of 08/2023, they close at 2:00pm.

I called this establishment tonight to see if there were any promotions or discounts tonight for Veteran’s Day, the answer was no, which is completely fine, but the reason for my one star review is the customer service… The woman who picked up the phone sounded disgusted that I would even ask. It was rude and unnecessary. I have never tried the food, but I won't give them my business in the future.

This place is a hidden away gem! I'm glad that my friends sent me on a food run to this place. Never expected their sandwiches to be as delicious as they were! Friendly staff, informed me on their products since it was my first time going. I have been going often ever since.

Great sandwiches... do yourself a favor and try the Turkey Sandwich. Too good! Stew is good, too.
