I don't know what other issues people had with service but everyone was super nice and helpful. And walked me thru the menu. Got the smoke wings with garlic parm on side. I would vote 7/10. Great flavor withoutsauce but a "little" dry. If we are being picky vs others I've tried. But again, I would 100% get them again. Garlic parm sauce was great to dip them in. The star of the meal? The smoked pastrami 20/10. . Hands down.. amazing. It's an extremely close second to Green Street bbq in Chicago. I got their regular bbq sauce (Carolina red) on the side. It's called Carolina but no vinegar. Which I'm ok with. What great sweat bbq sauce. Totally unique. Would be amazing on chicken or pulled pork. I'm now a huge fan of this place. Can't wait to try rest of menu and Brisket Mac n cheese!

I stepped to the back of the line to wait my turn. The young lady taking orders took five people's orders ahead of me. I stepped up to order and she stepped away to start helping the two people fixing the food. Now I was the last one in the line when she stepped away. Why she just did not take my order and then step away I doing not know. I stood there for a long time then gave up and left. I ran in to the owner outside and told him about it. He just blew me off and called me Buddy. The owners have been arrogant in the past for no reason. I am aways nice and respectful. This restaurant's business is good now but treating good customers like this will hurt your business in the long run. I will never eat there again.

Everything was delicious and the food came out quickly. The pulled pork sandwich was huge. I don't use much sauce because, if the meat is cooked correctly, it's really not needed -- this was cooked perfectly! We've passed this little spot many times. So glad we gave it a try today.

I was in search of BBQ in Decatur. My first stop turned out to be run down and permanently closed…read more My 2nd choice was closed for running out of food. Hickory House turned out to be my 3rd and it was a shame it wasn't my first. The brisket and pulled pork were both phenomenal as they were both tender and flavorful. There are 4 sauces - mild, hot, honey, and Chipotle mustard. I didn't like the Chipotle mustard as it was pretty hot but the other 3 sauces were rich and bold. I picked potato salad and ranch beans for my sides. Both were delicious! The potato salad was in a creamy mustard base. The ranch beans were in some kind of savory mild tomato conglomeration with a little heat. Cornbread came with the plate and it was sweet and crumbly. The building isn't much to look at as it is in an old Wendy's but the inside has been updated. If you want Texas Style BBQ in Decatur, Hickory House should be on your list.

Food was pretty good but not anything super special. The pulled pork was pretty dry. I wish it had more of the juices on it to sink into the buns. The mac and cheese was good. Pretty comparable to stoffers Mac and cheese which I like. The jalepeno poppers were good. I just thought the jalepenos were so think that it was hard to take a clean bite out of it. The Hillybilly Deluxe was our favorite. It was a special that night. It was mash potatoes, Mac and cheese and pulled pork stacked on top of eachother. If you are nearby, I think it would be somewhere good to eat but don't think it's worth the drive from Terre Haute. Overall service was good and nice. There was one girl working there who wasn't the nicest at one time. It is a pretty small place with a hometown feel.

The baked beans were good, but I was a little disappointed in the amount of brisket that should have been in there. This place rocks! Service was friendly, but it appeared only one person serving the entire place, but it's not large. Loved the blues music in the background. Illini and Bears memorabilia on the walls.
