Went here as a going away party of 7, food came out in a decent amount of time. The flavors were PHENOMENAL! I love an eggs Benedict, and there was a variety including Smoked Salmon, Veggie, Filet, & Pulled pork [I got this one]. Mimosas $14 for 1 or $32 for unlimited; obviously we got unlimited! These Sweet Potato Tater Tots are out of this world, I will always get them from now on out.
My wife and I were in Aspen during a road trip through Colorado and stopped in here for a brunch/lunch. And man was this place a major disappointment. The seating was nice on the outside patio...it was a very lovely late morning. But that is where things went downhill. The service was slow (although it was not very busy)... and when our server took our order (I think she was an exchange student working a summer temp job...she had a very strong accent)) she seemed very confused. My wife's BBQ order was brought out incorrect with multiple sides of the same thing (which we were charged for!) and I ordered the bacon and egg breakfast...instead of breakfast potato it came with fries...who eats fries for breakfast? She said they were out of the breakfast potato...maybe you mention that as I order? This place seemed so disorganized and the food quality is below average...would keep driving by next time.
Hickory House I saw this place on Yelp before my trip to Aspen and was super excited to try their onion rings and the "best ribs in Colorado". Food 3/5: We ordered the onion rings and half rib meal that came coleslaw, garlic bread, fries, and baked beans. The onion rings were a little bit of a let down because their menu claims that it feeds 2-3 people? We expected a mountain of em but they came in your average basket and fed nowhere near 2-3 people. The onion ring batter was a little bit over cooked and had little onion flavor because they were cut so thin. The ribs were pretty good but definitely lacked flavor. On their tables, it had their barbecue sauce that helped balance the blandness of the ribs. I really liked the smoked habanero bbq sauce. Overall the ribs and the onions were decent but I would not say the "best in Colorado". Ambiance: 5/5 The ambiance of the place was very well themed. I like the wooden structure and it really made you feel like you were in a cabin. We went during lunch on a Tuesday and it was pretty lively. Service: 5/5 Service was great, once we walked in we were seated immediately and our server was attentive. They quickly took our order and food came out in a timely manner.
Stopped by for breakfast because I heard that it was voted best breakfast in the town and after not really loving it I tried them for dinner one evening to see if it would be a better experience. Here are my takeaways!! Environment Plenty of space for outside seating and inside dining - has your typical bbq place vibe, beautiful art on the walls - family style restaurant. I stopped by during brunch hours so it was fairly empty and calm - bright and relaxing setting. Service The service was good. Nothing to run home about or complain about. He made sure I had what I needed and it was fast and efficient. Food and Drinks The breakfast food was not for me. For breakfast I had pancakes, eggs and I tried the grits. Pancakes - they were grain pancakes made with rolled oats, crushed wheat, quinoa and flax seed. So this was probably mostly my fault and just something I didn't prefer. Hit me with good ol unhealthy buttermilk lol. If you're into healthy pancakes then this may be the place for you. Eggs - the eggs scrambled with cheese were also not what I expected. They. kind of slapped the cheese on top of the eggs. It wasn't that great. The grits - similar to the eggs, they laid out block of cheese on top of the grits when serving. I mixed the cheese in to the grits but it didn't really make it any better. I'm from the south so it could be a regional different but it wasn't for me. As i mentioned earlier, I did want to try them again to see if they dinner was different experience so I ordered the burger and fries and I also wanted to try the mac and cheese. The burger was way better than my experience for breakfast. It was massive and pretty tasty. The fries were just okay and the mac and cheese - you definitely get your $10 dollars worth in your order. It's pretty fairly tasty and on the heavier side so it can easily fill you up. It wasn't bad but I've had better. Way better. Overall Overall not my favorite place but if I'm every in the area i should probably try the one thing they may be known for - the actual BBQ. I wouldn't completely count this place out - the burger was pretty good and worth a try and I would go back to try other options on the menu to see if I can get a winner.
Came for brunch and tried the french toast (3/5, pretty standard) and the baby back ribs (4/5, wish they were meatier). Service was great and the place felt homey!
Best bbq we've had and we've tried quite a few places during our travels all over North America. We ordered the 3 item Protein Power which came with pulled pork, beef brisket but substituted the chicken breast with the old Colorado smoked sausage, rack of pork ribs and dry rub wings. The bbq meat was tender, moist and seasoning was unique in a good way. The dry rub wings are tasty and juicy. The pork ribs were cooked perfectly, the meat comes off the bone. We'll be back again!
Disappointing. Ribs. It's in the name. Unfortunately the ribs are dry with very little meat. The brisket is also sad, again dry and unsalvageable even with sauce. The only good thing were the dry rub wings, but even here the failure is false advertising. You're getting whole drumsticks which isn't necessarily a bad thing but if you're expecting actual wings then you'll be upset. Sides are small and forgettable. At least the prices are reasonable, but the truth is the price of a rack of ribs should have tempered my expectations. Pickup service is quick. The space is rustic but I can't comment beyond that. If you're close by and you need a relatively cheap (for Aspen) meal, then it might be an ok option. If you have to walk 2 miles round trip in the snow to get it (like I did), then do yourself a favor and go somewhere else or get it delivered.
Absolutely hands down best steak sandwich I have had yet. All the employees were extremely friendly. Great atmosphere. I was working on there airport and got to the restaurant as there kitchen was closing. The still served me. I will definitely be coming back. Great place!!!!
Well decent prices for Aspen, I can say that much! I ordered the avocado toast and holy moly, it came with probably 8 eggs mounded on top. I scrapped majority of them off but the gluten free bread was super great. They are very generous with the amount of avocado on the toast. The hash-browns were super dry and lacked flavor. The service was just alright. Maybe I should try what they are famous for if I end up near this spot again. I

Place is very solid. Was close for walking distance from the house I stayed. Only ate breakfast there but did come in twice. Fair prices and big sizes. read more
This BBQ spot absolutely delivers. Portions are huge, from the main meats to the sides, making it great for sharing (or leftovers). The meats are incredibly tender and full of flavor, clearly done right. It's very family-friendly--kids are given a coloring sheet, kids menu, and crayons, which is always appreciated. There's plenty of seating, so it doesn't feel cramped even when busy. Service is quick and genuinely friendly, and the menu offers lots of options, so there's something for everyone. They also take reservations, which is a big plus, and street parking is available. An easy 4/5--great food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere. read more
As luck would have it, we stumbled across this amazing restaurant, in Aspen. This @hickoryhousebbq is the real deal. It was featured on that @guyfieri @diners_driveins_dives show! The ribs were amazing and we ended up buying some extra jugs of their barbecue sauce to take home!! The service was friendly and professional. Although we came in at 8:00 PM we were amazed at how many people, a lot of large families, came in after us. Obviously, this is a great place for locals. read more

Hickory House is home to one of the best breakfast deals in Aspen! A simple breakfast special always hits the spot after a couple of hours hiking in the morning! Consider eating on the patio, it's fun to watch the cars drive through town from there...not to mention how nice it is to look up at the lovely view of Aspen Mountain. read more

A hidden gem in Aspen. The food is wonderful. Something on the menu for everyone to try. Very low key and comfortable environment. Lots of fun with great food and drinks. read more

This was our second time in Aspen and we weren't able to eat here the first go around because it was too busy. This time we stopped in for a late breakfast and easily got a seat. It was fun to see all the decoration in the restaurant and the history, as well as Guy Fieri stopped by - too cool! The breakfast portions were huge and the coffee was hot - I had the huevos rancheros and they were fresh, with crispy hash browns. They really got me with the local tortillas that had great taste. My husband had the Western Omelet with hash browns. Definitely an old school breakfast spot, no complaints. The waiter was friendly and attentive. This is a definite spot to check out in Aspen - I'm sure the BBQ is A+. read more

The waitress was lovely but the food was not good. I have never felt the need to leave a Yelp review but the food was honestly awful. My favorite part was the toast, it was fantastic! The ribs were cold, barely had any meat on them, and didn't really have any flavor. The brisket was tasty but I had numerous tough pieces. I gnawed on one piece for multiple minutes. The beans were AWFUL. The cup of beans was actually just a cup of barbecue sauce with a sprinkle of beans in there. I LOVE beans and I've never tasted beans so foul. My potato looked like they microwaved a slice of cheese over it (see pic). Not appetizing at all. After a standard tip (because the waitress was wonderful and not at fault) this place was $45 a plate.... pretty steep for less than average food. read more

I will give this place credit for making fall of the bone type of ribs. That for sure is their best item on the menu. The mac and cheese was very milky than cheesy. The wings were okay and I'm a huge brisket person and it really missed the mark completely. There was a lot of people still in training so service wasn't the best so my rating does reflect that as well. If your looking for ribs this is your spot to try for sure. read more

Hickory House is it. It looks like a beat up cabin outside, but inside is phenomenal food. Staff is always attentive, and restaurant is always clean. Known for their ribs, which are my favorite, but there's tons of other stuff to enjoy. Personally, I'm also a huge fan of the pulled pork sandwich , fried chicken sandwich, and ahi tuna salad. You can't go wrong at Hickory House. (Katie is the absolute best!) read more
