Hickory's Smokehouse

I've been here a few times and always had a good experience. the plates are great if they like a good mix, but note that the portions are quite large. make sure to book in advance, unless they want to sit outside.

Hickory's has a really friendly atmosphere, and has maintained a cosy feel despite the size of the restaurant. I can imagine that it's even better in nice weather, as the location is surely one of the best in the city.

hickory' smokehouse is an authentic American bbq restaurant at the river in the historic city chester. the staff is helpful and friendly. sitting outside with river view is amazing. they serve unlimited popcorn with the meals. both the Swiss sausage and garnel are delish.

Smokey smoker. from this place on a laune populated, it has been for years when I visited chester, so after a causal walk through the river I stumbled over this place, and out of the hive of activity outside (in the interior and exterior seat beautiful touch as its right through the picturesque river dee) I thought that I was at the place was very busy and always out

Great. we went to hickorys on March 1, 2013 when my friend was once before and I must say that I absolutely loved it. we had burnt bits and hot left to start (divided) and had the plate between us to share for a pornstar. we also ordered plenty of cocktails, all made fresh. we were bought water and popcorn when we sat down, that was a nice note. we had a private table out of the one I think there were many tables in this night. I will definitely go back and would highly recommend eating, drinking and service.

Fantastic. What more can i say? Two hungry Geordies rolled up on Paddy's day and it was packed. Told a 30min wait, start a tab at the bar. Few Amstel's later and we are directed to our table. From where we were in the bar we could see the open kitchen and were drooling at the goodies lovingly churned out from there. Starter, we decided we wanted to try the nachos, at £9.50 they aint cheap, but i have to say tgey were fantastic, possibly the best ive had. Always a good sign when you realise they didnt use doritos. The chilli on top was perfect too. Main, keeping with the sharing theme we went for the platter, at £28 it sounded good. I would describe everything individually, but im...read more

Very nice food.. Myself and my fiance were visiting chester for one night and didn't know the area. Found this restaurant through an app on my phone so we thought we'd try it out. Didn't seem too expensive for what they were offering. Went inside and asked if we could get a table for two (saturday night you and with no booking we'd already turned down an hour and twenty minute wait at another restaurant). The waiter asked if we'd mind sitting at the kitchen bar which overlooked the preparation area of the kitchen. We said that was fine and he asked if we'd like to go a get a drink from the bar and they'd clean the space and call us over. We were seated at the bar which was a nice quirky...re...

I was recommended this place by a friend so gave it a try as I fancied somewhere I hadn't been before. Booked a table for 5:30 on a Sunday evening and arrived for 5:20, shown to our table promptly. I couldn't help notice the quirky decoration which I liked a lot. The waitress came back over with water and popcorn (a nice touch) and given the drinks menu while being asked straight away what we wanted. I asked for a moment to look over the drinks menu. Within a minute the waitress was back so we quickly ordered our usual drinks rather than going for something different. Virtually the same happened with food menu. And I began to feel rather uncomfortable. The food came and was presented in a......

fantastic. What can I say? two hungry, rolled up on the Paddy day and it was packed. I said, wait 30min, start a register card at the bar. few amstel’s later and we are directed at our table. from where we were in the bar, we could see the open kitchen and were torn out lovingly at the gardeners from there. starter, we decided that we wanted to try the afteros at £9.50 they anointed cheap, but I must say tgey was fantastic, possibly the best ive had. always a good sign when you realize that they haven't used doritos. the chili was also perfect. main, with the Sharing theme we went for the record, at £28 it sounded good.
