Hickory BBQ & Smokehouse

Definitely a must stop! Friend and I came here after hiking in the Catskills and it may become our new go-to. Super retro cabin style interior with great staff and excellent fries! We both got sandwiches which were loaded with meat and toppings and the rest of the plate was piled high with fries. So good! I had the brisket, which was perfect, and my friend had the pulled pork which was equally good. The fries are thin and crispy. They also had all homemade sauces on the table and an awesome lineup of locally made sodas. Prices were excellent as well!

I have eaten here at least 5 times and today was the first time were both dishes were really not good at all. We ordered the rib tip appetizer and they were very hard and chewy and the beef brisket sandwich. The brisket tasted bad.

If the place were not recommended to me, from the side of the road it looks like a hole in the wall! It has no curbside appeal oh, but that is not why we went there, we went because of the food recommendations and let me tell you, the food and fair far exceeds expectations! I have recommended this place to others and I will be returning for sure, I mean get out of my way I'm coming back there and I'm bringing my appetite do you hear me ?!? I'm seriously bringing my appetite back there!

Onion rings to absolutely die for! I make the trip from new Paul's just for the onion rings! The barbecue is also amazing you can smell it from miles away, but seriously the onion rings are truly addictive and like nothing you've ever tasted. The coating is so light and barely there it is truly all about the onion. Love love love them!

Picky kids landed us here because they serve chicken tenders. Hard to find in the Woodstock area. Tenders were a bit weird. Seemed to be 1/4" slices of breast meat. Sounds legit but chicken sliced like this can be a bit tough. It was. Tasty but chewy.

Wife really enjoyed the Soy glazed wings. I had the blackened catfish with stewed kale and roasted potato salad. The catfish was amazing, as was the kale! The catfish was incredibly tender and flaky! So good!

Cool, old 70s - 80s Roadhouse vibe inside.

Great service.
