Hickory River Smokehouse Menu

Sorry, We are updating this restaurant menu details.

    I had the three meat combo, pulled pork, brisket and smoked polish sausage. Meats were good as were sides. Best I could say is that on an average day I don't smoke them much better. Sauce was good just not quite memorable enough to buy.

    Not so good. First, it's one of those places where you order and get your food in a cafeteria style. Then take it to your table. Second, the food is mostly warmed food, pre-made, cafeteria style. It was salty and bland other than the strong bbq sauce poured over the food. My pulled pork was tough and stale. The turkey was actually amazingly tender but had no smokiness of flavor. It was just bland. My wife's baked potato was pulled out of a warmer and stabbed on a plate. My overall impression was this particular franchise was just phoning it in. No real care for their product. Good menu--poor execution.

    Fantastic BBQ - I had the Brisket and my wife had the pull pork. The meat was smoked perfectly and the sauce was fantastic. Had the salad and should have gone with the 2 sides, my fault and I will make sure I do that next time. Worth the trip for some good BBQ

    Pretty good BBQ. Stopped in on our way south. It is usually a good indicator that there will be good 'que is the smell of wood smoke when you walk in. The staff was very friendly, and sold us their 'que Shoe special. It was fantastic. Pulled pork over fries with a white cheese sauce. Scrumptious. We also ordered the Smokehouse #2 ribs with 2 meats. We got four bones for the ribs, and they were meaty, moist and had some good smoke to them. We also had sliced brisket and pulled pork. The brisket was extremely overcooked and a little dry, but did have good flavor. The pork was also overcooked, but much better than the brisket. We would stop in again.

    Best BQQ I have ever had. Pulled pork is remarkable and so is the beef brisket. Reasonably priced for what you get. Great service and very nice and clean inside the restaurant. I definitely recommend coming here!

    I stopped here for lunch for first time. They had a lunch special of pulled pork sand, two sides & drink for only $8. Really good deal. The pork was really good & very tender. I chose beans & Mac n cheese for sides. Beans were good. Mac n cheese was very generic. Not recommend them. I would definitely come back.

    Food was average at best. Not many options for sauces, and pretty expensive for bland pulled pork. The sides weren't much to speak of either. Even the tea was bitter.

    I grew up in Texas and this place reminds me of the small town BBQ places from my childhood. The food is quite good and the ranch style beans are CRACKALICIOUS. Seriously. Can't. Stop. Eating. Them! Portion sizes are pretty generous. It is not fancy at all and you order cafeteria-style, so don't have any illusions about "high class" ambience.

    Discovered this place in Champaign,Il years ago. Service here is great! They greet you before you even get to the counter! Love the bbq sauce! I always order the smoked turkey,and a few bottles of bbq sauce for home! Not too expensive and the side dishes are just like grandma use to make! If you like BBQ...try it out!

    Staff was very friendly and helpful. My co-worker got the bbq pork and liked it. I got the beef brisket and thought it was a little dry, so it probably could have used some more sauce. Still I'd like to try the rest of the menu if I get another chance. Also they do serve bottled beers & wine.

    I came in during the early afternoon, and as soon as I walked in, the people at the front asked about my order... They were very kind! After ordering, the server brought my food out, and checked on me several times. They also have paper menus on each table, so we can easily add to our order (which I did :-). I was alone, but had to deal with a situation at the time (via my smartphone)... I felt bad about being at the table for so long, even after I finished my food - but the server was fine with it. When I apologized for that, shortly before leaving, she told me I was welcome to stay as long as I wanted - until closing! :-) I handed her an extra tip, on the way out.

    Really good BBQ in a nice atmosphere. You order cafeteria-style and there are plenty of seating options. They just opened a 2nd location on the west side of Springfield on Iles.
