Hickory Barn BBQ Richmond

It's not better than Swinging Door, but it does have pretty good service and decent food. Of course, taste is always subjective, but I feel their unique qualities aren't really all that amazing.

When it comes to BBQ, I always go for the sandwiches. So, in my book, I feel their uniqueness is defined by their sauce and fries.

So glad they opened up a location near us! Best BBQ hands down! Nothing compares and they don’t shy away from all the fixings on a potato. Loyal customer for 33 years!!

Went to lunch around 3 PM, and the restaurant wasn't too busy. Friendly staff made a suggestion for what to eat depending on how hungry I was. I had the ribs. They're very tasty and pull off the bone easily. Clean restaurant and friendly atmosphere. Good music.

The brisket was awesome. Beautiful smoke ring and great flavor. Looking forward to trying the pulled pork next. Great family atmosphere.

I had the smoked turkey sandwich, my son had a chopped beef sandwich. Both meats were tender and juicy. Did not like the sauce, nor did my son. Wanted some more smoke on the meat. Understand that BBQ is a subjective subject, as well as BBQ sauce. This sauce is traditional Texas (aka Rudy's). We both prefer the completion in the immediate area. 2 sandwiches, side of coleslaw and mac and cheese, with a bottled Dr. Pepper and a water $24. Mac and cheese was average, coleslaw pretty good.
