Great food and friendly service! That was our first time there- I had the Chicken Fried Steak which was excellent! We will definitely be back! read more

I really enjoy the food and the atmosphere at the Hickory Tree. Love the brisket tacos!

Great Breakfast, biscuits are huge!! Bar is great and cold drinks! Staff very friendly.

This place is very far out but if you need something different and in the mood for Bbq that tastes home-cooked this is the place. Dessert is awesome as well. read more

This place is hands down the best restaurant I've ever been to. Doesn't matter if we come for breakfast on the weekend or lunch/dinner, everything is fabulous! Service is beyond the best and prices are absolutely affordable!! Do not miss this place! Hidden gem! read more

4 stars for ambience however as a self-proclaimed food critic, I don't think I can give the restaurant 4 stars because my meal was rather disappointing. To preface, this is a great place for a family dinner. Service was top notch and very accommodating. I highly recommend the pulled pork taquitos. I think this is their most popular item on the menu based on other Yelpers' reviews and it definitely did not disappoint. However my chicken fajitas fell short of the 4 stars for this place so I do not recommend it. The chicken tasted very bland and almost like it was frozen and then defrosted? read more

We've been to the Hickory Tree Grill many times and it's always great!! Service is spot on and the food is consistently amazing!!

We love this place! The Staff, the atmosphere, and especially food are all amazing! This is the first place my mom wants to go when she comes to town. read more

I really prefer having the burgers as one of your first meals to have! They are really good and very unique. I had the Texican Burger and it was amazing. So many good flavors! I love how every bite I took into the burger it was just so easy and it would just all into your mouth. You would just have to taste it for yourself. If you wanna know what I'm talkin about. read more

Our first time here and really enjoyed it. The wait staff was very nice, food came out quickly and was delicious. We met Chris, one of the owners and he was nice as well. We had brisket potato skins, queso, chicken fajitas, brisket taco and brisket sliders. We took our kids with us and they really enjoyed the food too. Give this place a try if you are in downtown Burleson. read more

Friday night is alive with nice atmosphere lots of talking laughing people and the menu items were great! We had a steak fajita salad and Chili Relleno burger! Great time, food and service! The hostess was just Ok soft voice in a loud environment, put your enthusiasm in your message delivery next time! read more

Food is what you would expect at a little league game food truck. Definitely not worth the price. Service is mediocre at best. Bartenders aren't following health codes either. Definitely get beer and stay away from anything a bartender could dip their hands in. Won't be coming back. Just figured we would give it another try since they got a new location. Same ol disappointing hickory tree. read more

I would have given a five but they do not have fries. Not sure how you have burgers without fries. However the wait staff was wonderful and attentive. I ordered potatoe skins and the grilled cheese, both were really good. The potatoe skins had pulled pork on them that was amazing. The grilled cheese was really great. It had Mac and cheese and pulled pork on it. I would definitely order it again. My friend had the burger. She didn't say much but it must have been good or she was just very hungry. My other friend had the grilled chicken salad with alvacado ranch that she said was to die for. Will go back to happy hour, since it is half off appetizers and all drinks from like 3-6 on weekdays. read more

Disappointing looked at menu on yelp and wanted some barbecue. Got there at 1:00pm on Saturday. They only have biscuits and breakfast food till later at night. read more

The service was amazing! And the food was really good. If you love to support local places, definitely go check this place out.

Best food and service in town!! Had brisket nachos and they were amazing. Big portions on all there plates enough to feed 2. Recommended 100% read more

Hickory Tree Grill - Brisket Nachos - Barbeque Near Me - Joshua, Texas

I had the bbq fajitas and husband has the beef fajitas, both were outstanding! Even my grand daughters cheeseburger was delicious. Also I had the ice tea moonshine, was buzzed on the first glass cant wait to go again and try the nice looking patio.. read more

This was our last restaurant experience before quarantine. We spent 5 hours enjoying the ambience, good tv shows and had great wait staff. Clean, personable staff and great food. Reasonably priced. Interior is fun and kid friendly. Unique menu. Beautiful industrial interior. We will be back for sure!! read more

We have been to the Biscuit Company many times and it's always fantastic, 5 stars easily. We were extremely disappointed after visiting the Hickory Tree Grill. My husband ordered the chicken fried steak tonight, and for $16 it was completely inedible. I was going to try it but couldn't even cut through it, incredibly stringy and chewy, literally couldn't chew it up. Worst chicken fried steak we have ever had. I'm not sure if it was really poor quality plus poor cooking skills or what, but unfortunately we will never return. Want to save someone else from the waste of money and disappointment. Also, service was not bad but seemed annoyed by the presence of other humans they had to help. read more

We've been coming for several years as it's one of maybe 4 decent restaurants in the area. The service has slowly gotten worse, the management is always in a foul mood, there's consistently something wrong with our food order, and now they're accepting children and babies AT the bar. Not in the bar area, but belly up to the bar, crying and throwing tantrums alongside other of-age adults who most likely go there for a nice time. If you say anything, you're confronted and belittled as if you're somehow supposed to ENJOY a cocktail (at the bar) with screaming children all around you. If I wanted this, I would go to Chuck E Cheese. This place is going downhill quickly. read more

good food, but a little pricey! i ordered the brisket nachos and it was big enough to fill 2 people! i loved how they made it their own by using real potato chips instead of the typical tortilla chips. read more

My wife was told this place was good. So she wanted to go and we did. Atmosphere is ok but could be a little more cozy/appealing. I liked the wood decor but a little refinement could make this place a lot better. Food was meh. I had their grilled cheese sandwich which had pulled pork bbq in it and I was a bit disappointed. It's a huge slice of processed cheese and the mac n' cheese tasted VERY processed which I can only assume is due in part by the cheese used. The food isn't indicative of the fine dining that's advertised. I'll try this place again but it'll be a while so I can get this processed cheese taste and feeling out of my body. On a scale from 1 to 10...I give it a 5.5 place can be better and I'd urge a revamp to scale to the likes of a fine dining experience and culture. read more

This is one of our favorite places and we love sitting out on the patio in the evenings. They own Stone Soup Cafe and Mojo's too and the food is incredible. The tacos with various smoked meats are delicious and we especially enjoy the pulled pork taquitos, sliders, Texas cheese steak, and the pulled pork grilled mac & cheese. read more

I've passed by here and never stopped because it looked like a more high end eatery. My wife and I stopped in today and we're pleased. It's a layed back casual place with a nice mix of Texas and Texmex food with their own spin on it. Great food and fantastic service. read more

Hickory Tree Grill is a trendy looking new place that has recently opened in Old Town Burleson. The outside has a warm welcoming feel with stacked firewood and patio seating for those nights that you are looking for something to do outside. Caution: Hickory Tree Grill is not suited for large parties; it is an intimate dinning experience. A quick glance through the restaurant from where we were seated in the front room revealed mainly 2 and 4 person tables and some small 4 person booths. There was a large party (8 people) who were waiting when we arrived and had just been seated when we were paying out close to an hour later. Outside seating, from what I could see is also limited. I counted 7 outside tables, but each table (round - so you can't pull them together) is small and would only accommodate 4 people comfortably. There is some couch/lounge seating outside if you were just having drinks and/or appetizers. The bar menu is decent; a good selection of all the major brands of draft beer with a few favorites from local breweries. The menu also had a selection of specialty drinks that seem to carry the theme of the restaurant. The food menu was large enough to accommodate someone with an appetite, but not overly complicated. The offerings included tacos, fajitas, quesadillas, burgers/sandwiches along with a few other samplings. We decided to start the meal off with Chips and Queso. We were pleasantly surprised when we got the Queso. It was a yellow cheese queso; thick with a good flavor, not just a cup of melted Velveeta. The chips were on par for what you'd find at any other restaurant in the area. Next we ordered dinner. She ordered the Chicken Fajitas, and splurged to get the bacon-wrapped shrimp on the side. I ordered the NY Strip steak. The fajitas came out on the standard fajita skillet, minus the sizzling and smoke. The chicken meat was nicely flavored but not what you would expect when ordering fajitas. The chicken had a sweet marinade flavor to it which almost made us think rotisserie chicken, but served on a bed of grilled onions and bell peppers. The plate came with the standard side of refried beans, rice and a roll of warm tortillas. Overall, the meat was nicely flavored and juicy but different from the standard chicken fajitas you'd find in other restaurants. My steak was served pre-sliced with a creamy peppercorn sauce over the top. In hindsight, I wish I would have 86-ed the sauce; while it was a great tasting sauce I lost all the taste of the meat that I was hoping to get. The steak however, was cooked perfectly with a hot pink center as would be expected when ordering a medium cooked steak. The sauce could have been a nice addition to the steak, but there was just too much. I think a drizzle of sauce, leaving me wanting more, would have been preferred over the ladle of sauce that I got on my plate. The steak was served with "crawfish boil mashed potatoes". Not being a big fan of anything crawfish I was hesitant but in the end they were pretty good mashed potatoes. I couldn't really tell what made them "crawfish boil" over "loaded" mashed potatoes, but I can say that I did not detect anything remotely close to a fishy taste in them. The second side with my steak was some kind of squash - the waitress gave the name which I can't say I was familiar with. The squash was diced and had been cooked on a grill with some light searing marks. The taste was good, but I felt it was undercooked since it was still firm and crunchy. There was an option of a house salad instead of the squash, but I was trying to live on the wild side and try something new. Lesson learned. Just a quick note on service - the waitress we had was very polite, checked on us frequently but was not a nuisance. The timing of service was perfect. A few sips into our drinks and the appetizer arrived; just as the appetizer was done dinner arrived. This is a new restaurant so I expect a few service errors like forgetting the steak knife with my steak or not being able to remember the vegetable of the day when asked. I think once the new wears off the wait staff will be top notch at the Hickory Tree. Overall, this was a good dinning experience for a place that has only been open a few days. The biggest obstacle for the Hickory Tree Grill is size and seating. I see this as being a major issue in the future. The food was different but all well prepared and quality. In another review of this same restaurant someone said the food wasn't worth the money - while the price point was a little higher than "normal" for this area expect a little more taste and quality for your dollar than what you'd get anywhere else. I would gladly visit the Hickory Tree again, and look forward to trying some of their other options. read more

Everything was ok. The room we were sat in inside had two big windows, with no cover or tint. So with the room being dark. It got toasty. Then most of the food needed salt and pepper. The loaded potato skins needed a lot more cheese on them. The nachos also not an even level of toppings. The fish poboy, the bread wasn't toasted. So it wasn't crunchy. Also, again the toppings were not too even and salt and pepper was needed. We will go back to try it again in a month or so like we always do with new places. I hope everything is awesome second time around. The money we spent this time was not worth the food. read more

Very gorgeous place we came in on Mother's Day and was seated right away, food was good and service was friendly! I would have gave 5 stars if the service was a little faster. We will be back! read more

Great experience here today. Excellent job with the redoing the building. Very friendly staff. I had the brisket nachos and the toppings are over home made potato chips, I don't know how they do it but the chips stay crisp and crunchy to the last bite. Very tasty and enough for two. read more

Food was phenomenal, service was sub-par. Our waiter barely checked in on me and my wife. He paid attention to the group tables, but neglected us unless we stopped him as he passed. He had to be reminded to bring my wife's drink and my second drink was ordered but never brought to me. My wife's entree was incorrect. She had subbed brisket for the pork in her sandwich (his suggestion), but pork was brought instead. He did recognize this immediately and apologized. After all this, when the bill was given to us at the end of the meal, he had only charged us for the drinks and appetizer. I had to point out to him that we had not been charged for our entrees, which was nearly half of the total bill. This was our first visit, and we were surprised by the poor service. The food was good enough to warrant another visit, but it won't be any time soon. read more

This place is great! It's a simple, small town and friendly. The grilled cheese with pulled pork is out of this world! The Texican burger is pretty awesome. Tacos, nachos and everything else I've had there is good. I wasn't that crazy about their version of a Philly cheesesteak though. Reading some of these reviews is comical! Oh the things people complain about... They just need to stay home and cook. Can't be pleased. Every time I've been, no matter the time of day or day of the week, service was great, food was great and the manager checked on us EVERY TIME! Definitely try it out read more

Not that great for the money. I can go somewhere else and pay the same and get better results. Just my opinion. Owners are friendly. Burgers are small for what you pay for as well- not a lot of flavor. read more

This is your basic, trendy/hipster place. The restaurant itself is nicely appointed, and the outdoor fireplace is fantastic! The food was decent, but for the meager portions they gave you, it was overpriced. The queso dip was absolutely delicious, and for that reason it was worth it. If you like trendy/hipster places, then this is the place for you. The wait-staff didn't seem very knowledgeable about their menu items, as when I asked about them, our waitress had to go to the kitchen to ask. They were very friendly, and they were attentive. I just didn't care for the food. read more

We ate here when we first moved to Joshua in 2020. It was wonderful. Tonight? not so much. We ordered in for Valentine's Day because it's a special occasion for me and the misses. I don't know what happened since 2020 but the quality has steadily declined since. We ordered some kind of grilled chicken. It tasted like a salt lick, I couldn't even taste the chicken. It was drowned in an awful-tasting sauce. It was so salty, we couldn't eat it. It went in the trash with the potatoes. This brings up the next item on the plate. The cajun mashed potatoes were an affront to all mashed potatoes. Dry, lumpy, brown, and looked like they'd been sitting out all day on a Golden Corral buffet. The corn was pretty meh and I thought you can't really mess up corn but they tried their best. $61 not including the tip for two grilled chicken meals, a burger, and macaroni for the little one. We wanted to give this place many more chances as the quality has been on the decline since our first visit. After paying that much for food I wouldn't feed our dogs, I'm sad to say this was my last trip to the Hickory Tree. I'm sorely disappointed because it WAS at one time a great place to grab a bite. With the cost of everything going up these days, it's safe to say my money will go elsewhere. My stomach and my wallet are very disappointed right now. Sorry for the bad review but I gotta be honest. read more

Favorite place in Burleson and Joshua. Their meatloaf is amazing and I hate meatloaf!

When this first opened in joshua the food was off the chain.after a few months they just didn't care anymore. And they still don't, if they bring you food that's not the right temp and you say something they act like it's a problem to fix it.my opinion is save your money for frozen pizza and a movie it's a whole lot better then spending $60 or more on bad food.i would have given 1 star but a lot of the wait staff there are nice people that's why they got 2 stars.they are for the wait staff not the food read more

I wish you could give a place more than 5 stars. The food is great, fresh and reasonably priced. If you come you have to get the brisket nachos. Tonight I tried something new, bacon wrapped quail taco. It was fantastic and I have never had quail. Its definitely not a place for vegetarians. read more

Great food great people. Excellent family environment. Country food at responsible prices.

We went to Hickory tree for the first time I would have to say the food was very good. We ordered our food and it came to us we had to ask the waitress several times for some salsa to go with or meal She asked my daughter if we wanted little small ones or big ones and my daughter said some big salsa because there was eight of us at the table we ended up getting the salsa after everyone had finished their meal thinking we weren't getting it at all It finally showed up. When we got our bill there was three charges for chips and salsa one for $7 one for $3.50 When we asked the waitress what was up with that she said we asked for big salsa we did not realize that there was a charge at a Mexican restaurant for salsa but I did explain to her that we just wanted some salsa to go with our meal and the salsa arrived after everybody had finished and we did not even get chips with salsa and because we had asked for it I would pay for the one. The other issue I had I ordered a long island tea with no Coke no sweet-and-sour add orange juice and grenadine I ended up with what tasted like a glass of tequila with A little orange juice and Grenadine it wasn't a long island A long Island ice tea has Rum,Vodka, tequila, triple sec, Gin or Southern comfort with sweet-and-sour and a splash of Coke and literally it had tequila it was so strong I couldn't drink it I had asked for more orange juice and grenadine and still could not drink it I think if the bartender doesn't know how to make a drink they should look it up or ask the customer but overall the food was amazing and I probably would come back and see if I can get a better waitress. read more
