It's not awful, but it's not great. Everything I've had, from barbeque to sides, was cooked to mush. The barbeque itself is a little sweet for my taste. The service is okay, but n...

Best breakfast 6/9/2008

good food for breakfast. dont like the pancakes but the eggs and bacon and grits are southern style. I overall enjoyed it since my job paid for all of us to eat breakfast as a group. more

Just plain bad 3/15/2008

We just moved to the area from Decatur and we're looking for a breakfast spot on par with Decatur's selection. This is NOT it. Pros: Perfect sweet tea, fine buscuits Cons: all food cold, eggs over cooked, unseasoned grits, burnt greasy bitter bacon, soggy home fries more

Best Breakfast 3/5/2008

I have been eating breakfast at this location for several years. They have the largest pancakes in town. They are so large that you may need to split an order with someone. The service is friendly and the price is right. My whole family loves it. more

You can't beat their stew and their BBQ pork! 7/13/2007

Hickory House has the #1 BBQ and Brunswick stew in my book! I used to eat at the Old Hickory House across from Columbia Mall near Avondale, GA beginning in the 1970's until it closed. I've eaten at all the Hickory Houses around Atlanta over the years, although only two remain in business. I ate at the Northlake Mall Old Hickory House today and the food was excellent. Yes, the BBQ has a sweet hickory flavor and that's the flavor BBQ should have. You can't beat their stew and their BBQ pork! The building is old, but that only upholds the Hickory House tradition. The employees were friendly and service was fine. I don't happen to like those huge steak potato fries, but guess what? I don't go to Hickory House for fries. All BBQ in my book gets measured by Old Hickory House's standards. more

Ehh, it's so-so 9/28/2006

It's not awful, but it's not great. Everything I've had, from barbeque to sides, was cooked to mush. The barbeque itself is a little sweet for my taste. The service is okay, but not grand. All in all, Old Hickory House is just kind of hohum, but if you like mushy food and don't like things spicy, I'd recommend it. more

Great Barbecue But Restaurant Needs A Makeover 8/5/2006

There is no way to fault the barbecue which is the Old Hickory House specialty. And the breakfast and brunch items are top notch. The veteran waitstaff who call you ""Darlin"" and race around to make sure your every whim is met cannot be faulted. But the Old Hickory House facility is frankly worn out and dingy. With its flourescent lighting and smoke-stained ceiling tiles it has slipped beyond rustic to just plain tired. The place has not changed in years, and I'm sure many people love that. But on my recent visits, I've found it dark and depressing. Go for the breakfast, brunch and barbecue. Just don't look too closely at the building. And if you own this restaurant, please spruce it up. more

  • The family run Old Hickory House restaurants have been an Atlanta institution for more than 60 years with 4 family members operating their stores in Atlanta before closing and retiring. The old Forrest Park location was the one who had a scene in the movie â€Smokey & The Bandit†filmed in 1977. This scene at the Old Hickory House had Jackie Gleason and Burt Reynolds in it. Gleason ordered a Diablo sandwich which we now serve at our location in Tucker, Georgia. Elvis Presley was another celebrity among other’s who frequented the Old Hickory House’s in the Atlanta area. The Tucker location that opened in 1974 is the only Old Hickory House standing. We plan to be serving our customers for another 60 years. Come join us and â€Put Some South In Your Mouthâ€
