Hickory's was born from a road trip across America’s Southern States, where they learnt all things smokin’ from the best pitmasters across the region. Their menu is the result of 25 trips to over 80 towns and cities across the Southern States and counting.

From smokehouse classics and barbecue favourites, all served up by a team of passionate pitmasters, brilliant bartenders and sensational servers - they're all about rolling out that warm Southern hospitality!

Let’s Brunch

Brunch has got to be the most fun and certainly the most sociable meal of the day.

There are few things more enjoyable than a long leisurely meal eating great food with someone you love. The Americans seem to understand this more than most, & the Southern States in particular make it a real event. Hickory’s Brunch Menu has something for everyone, from Southern States to twists on classics, plus a couple of stacked showstoppers. Add freshly brewed coffee or something chilled from the bar, and you’ve got brunch – Hickory’s style.

Served every day until 2pm

Modern restaurant interior featuring cozy seating, a large decorative tree, warm lighting, and tables set for dining. Cozy outdoor dining at The Smokehouse, adorned with lanterns, surrounded by trees, and bustling with patrons enjoying the evening ambiance.

A Taste Of The South

Authenticity is absolutely key for Hickory’s and that starts with their smokers. Anything good is worth waiting for, right? Their Authentic grain-fed brisket is smoked for up to 16 hours in their ‘Ole Hickory’ Smokers from Missouri & their Southern Pride smokers from Tennessee. These smokers are the heart of Hickory’s, so be sure to make a pitmasters day & ask for a tour next time you join them!

Their Smokehouse selection is cooked low ‘n’ slow, bringing out deep, authentic flavours inspired by the American South.

It takes more than a smoker to make their meat fall-off-the-bone tender though. It’s the skill and passion of their pitmasters who have all been trained in the art of barbecue. Hickory’s even have a saying… “Not all heroes wear capes. Some wear aprons.” And their pitmasters are their heroes.

The Smokehouse menu celebrates exactly this. Think stacked trays, platters for when you want a bit of everything, and traditional authentic staples you’d find in any Smokehouse in the states.

Not in the mood for something smoked? No problem. You’ll also find comforting classics, lighter options and plenty of variety across the menu – so everyone leaves happy.

And whatever you do… don’t skip over the appetisers and desserts. Trust us, they’re worth saving room for!
