Overcooked Mac and cheese, salad with 4 tomatoes and burnt ribs.

I was looking for a good spot for dinner today and the Hickory Pit commercial came on so I decided to go there. It was the wrong decision. The Mac and cheese was scraped from around the pot, I got a pile of lettuce with 4 chopped tomatoes for the salad and a half of slab of ribs that only 3 were edible because 2 on the end were burned. What a waste of $22.00

Grew up eating here, just moved back after 10 years and this burger is a POS. It is 100% frozen patty. They used to smoke them along with the meats, but now they have the audacity to say it's $8.50 for literally a Bubba Burger patty. What once was a staple in Jackson has fallen severely

Signature Ham and Cheese

I was sent to Hickory Pit for the Ham and Cheese sammich while I was looking for the best non-burger sammiches in Jackson. This is not anything I would normally order at a BBQ place. I like the pulled pork, but my lead came from a good friend so I bit the bullet and grabbed the Ham and Cheese...described as the "Hickory Pit's Signature Sandwich" The bread is HP's awesome buttered thick white bread that comes with BBQ plates and a monster flat-top grilled piece of ham and with American cheese dripping out. Yep. It's good. Damn good. Makes me look at Hickory Pit in a different light. I am not a huge fan of MS BBQ so this gives me a reason to go in there again. I recommend it. Highly.

Great BBQ, but the BEST hamburger in the city! Order takeout, dine in accommodations are not great.

Always some of the best BBQ in the Metro. Seems like their portions are larger than others and prices are still great.

The food is awesome really!! The beef & pork is very tender & has lots of flavor. Ms. Ginger is one of the kindest people you'll ever meet.

The food there is wonderful! The buffet style service has all options covered. Salad, meats,…read morevegetables, bread, and desserts. Pay as you enter, and then fix your plate! There is plenty of seating, even if you have to sit upstairs. All the staff are helpful and keep your glass full. A trip there will not be regretted.

The young man at the car rental station said I needed to try this place. He said they were closed…read moreon Monday so I didn't even try to go (I don't think they were closed). I wanted to go Tuesday but coworkers didn't want to go out. Tried to go Wednesday but they were closed for dinner. My flight was leaving later in the day on Thursday and I had to try to go. Online it said they were open at 10 am. I checked out of the hotel and headed to the restaurant. There were already a lot of people waiting for them to open. To my surprise they opened at 10:30. When the doors opened people were "fighting" to get inside. This is a buffet setting. You pay before eating. To go plates are available for purchase. There is an upstairs eating area. I think there were 3 hot stations, a cold station, and a desert station and an ice cream machine. All the food looked so good. I had to get a little taste of everything. The fried chicken and fried chicken livers were Hands down my favorite things. I like greens that are tangy with a little spicy - these were not that. The cornbread was hard couldn't eat it. Everything else was ok. Nothing that I had that "gotta go back for more" feeling (except the chicken). There were so many offerings, and they have Pepsi products. They have a drink station but The servers bring you drinks. I definitely would go back again if I'm in the area.
