Wow! Brisket sausage and ribs are top notch and and no lie some of the BEST barbecue sauce we’ve ever had. Spicy, tangy and a little sweet! We took a chance and jaunted off of I-20 on a long road trip to due to so many 5 star reviews. So glad we did! Nothing fancy, but who needs fancy? Even our little kids loved it. The owner was so sweet… giving them extra pickles for their«sausage and pickle sandwiches». We’ll definitely be back!

This place takes you back to an easier, less expensive time when food was real and tasty! I had the 3 mixed meats plate, brisket, pork rib and hot link with potato salad and BBQ beans. It was all so tasty with that real hickory smoke flavor. I will be back, if I am ever this way again.

Drove all the way from Shreveport Louisiana to try their BBQ. Very good. Like another review said love the sauce. Had the ribs and brisket and took home a chicken. Sunday is steak day so well have to come back for that.

Excellent BBQ& service, quaint & friendly! The meat melted in your mouth and was among the absolute best I have ever had. And the BBQ sauce was excellent as well. I would love to go back but it is literally 5 – 6 hours away from my home. We literally stumbled across this place while driving to Tyler. Next time I go back this way, I will definitely go back. The owner and his son was so friendly & a pleasure to talk to. Highly recommend.

Forget Stanley’s! This place’s smoked sausage is superior and their tacos are the best — ever! Whatever method they use to smoke and season their food results in to die for BBQ. We tried to go to Stanley’s on a Sunday but it was closed so we took a short drive to this location which is much more scenic(and reasonably priced) and we were so glad we did. We were late and they were already sold out of brisket so our group ordered hot links and ribs and loved them. Then the owners gave us generous samples/helpings of their smoked sausage and tacos and omg… I am just sorry we don’t live in Tyler and won’t be able to go here all the time. I bought some smoked sausage home and we snacked on it for a few days and it never disappointed. Keep driving past Stanley’s if you want the best BBQ in Tyler.

Where do I begin. Very nice friendly family owned BBQ Restaurant. Nice atmosphere. The food and customer service is top notch. I would and will definitely continue to recommend everyone to stop and give there food a try. I have never been disappointed. This BBQ is delicious, moist tender and smoked throughout. My aunt who has no teeth ha no trouble at all eating the meat. I am definitely spoiled can’t find that flavor anywhere else. Will definitely continue to patronize them. God Bless Hickory Hill Bbq. See you soon.

Great Bbq for sure. Very tender and not over smoked, just right amount. Sides are excellent and obviously handmade. Very small place and seating is limited. Sunday(11⁄22) they ran out of brisket rather early(1 pm), but Sunday folks were calling in big orders to go, so that put a strain on the supply. Cash only, so don’t expect to use a card. Make sure to use the menu at the register before ordering rather than just looking at the display board. They have items such as tacos and burgers along with a monster called The Godfather. As previously tipped by me, don’t use the Unilocal map because if you do you’ll drive about 35 miles out of your way. Go with Google maps and type in the physical address that is posted correctly on Unilocal and it will take you right to it. Note that they put the sauce on the meat, so if you don’t go for that just tell them when you place your order. Also it would be wise to call ahead so that you are not disappointed that they’ve sold out of a particular item.

My fiancé and I stopped off here while we were in Tyler Tx. Although small this place packed a huge punch!!! As soon as you step in the door you’re hit with a beautiful smoke house aroma! The service was friendly and the cook is dynamite! When you go in make sure you ask the server who most likely will be the wife to tell you the story about how the husband acquired the space. It’s absolutely incredible. Will make you feel even more at home. We had the Bbq Chicken, ribs, and the brisket. All of it was amazing!!! The baked beans and the potato salad was definitely something to talk about. My fiancé said it was the best baked beans she’s ever had. Note: it’s cash only.

On my way to an appointment today in Kilgore. Coworker and I planned to eat at country tavern, foregoing breakfast so we would be good and hungry. Passed a little bbq that had a sign up for steaks and made a comment we’d have to try it the next time we were down that way. Thank Gawd Country Tavern was closed on Sunday’s because we were treated to the best taste sensation ever!!! The owner and his wife are so very personal. Son was there working the counter too. Very small place with 4 tables inside and more tables outside. They are expanding in the near future to handle the demand created by their culinary masterpieces. I really don’t want to share this place because they only stay open til the meat is gone, but oh boy! How I want this Resturant to succeed!!! Call first to ensure they are open and still have meat left!

I’ve been to plenty of bbq places all around Texas and this is by far the best. You can taste how everything is home made and made with care and love. All the meats are fantastic and even the tacos they offer are best I’ve had(and I’m comparing these to my favorite places on Navigation in Houston). I’m usually disappointed by BBQ chicken/wings but this place’s chicken is fall off the bone delicious. All the meats and sides were fantastic and I wish I was in town on Sunday to try the steak. The owners are amazing and the cashier(the owner’s son) is a very friendly young man who will go far in life. You can also get a side of wisdom if you’re willing to listen. If you’ve seen the film Jiro Dreams of Sushi, this is the bbq version of that.

Well first of all huge portions on everything! The loaded baked potatoe was amazing!!! The brisket tacos taste great as well. I have never met nicer owners and you can tell they have a big heart. While eating there last night a trooper came in to eat but did not realize it was cash only. He only had his debit card and the owner did not turn him away! He happily came out and brought his food! As with prices i ordered two loaded potatoes, three brisket tacos, cheetos, and two drinks and came out to $ 18.not bad at all. If you are ever on 31 and pass it. You better turn back around and grab you a bite. Big bite. These owners aren’t stingy with the portions!

We were in Tyler for the day and decided to check this bbq place. Met the kindest man and his son(owners). We didn’t realize they only accepted cash and checks and I had $ 3 in cash! The man said«don’t worry, we will take care of you! Not only that, he sent over ribs along what we ordered. I will be mailing him a check but I had to write about his kindness and generosity. I truly thank him and his son for what they did for us. The food was delicious and I will Def be returning next time iam in tyler.

This was just amazing BBQ. There are lots of tables on the outside. Inside, is homey, only about three 2 person tables. It’s like eating in someone’s kitchen, but in the best way possible. The man, woman and their son were all genuine, kind people who are welcoming and REALLY know what they are doing. The Potato Salad was divine. That slightly sweet but with a kick yellow potato salad that is so good. The baked beans were the best baked beans I have ever had at a BBQ place. I’ve been to MANY, all over the country and these were the best. They had a flavor I’ve never tasted before. So sweet, but with a kick and an unknown ingredient that just added so much depth. The Chicken was flavorful all throughout. The Brisket was melt in your mouth amazing. The sauce was so good. Sweet, tangy and rich all rolled into one. Even the cake, the pound cake was amazing. So moist, melt in your mouth good with a slight lemon taste. The prices were unbelievably good. Four adults for under $ 50. All in all an amazing meal, I am going to support the heck out of this place!

A peaceful, homey atmosphere, like sitting down at the owner’s kitchen table, and the lady and her son were genuinely welcoming, kind people. The food was very tasty, but I prefer to taste the meat before sauce is added — it might not need it! Next time I will ask for sauce on the side.

First time here and not only is the food delicious, but the owners are the nicest people that I have ever met! This place is a definite must. Try there mexican tacos. It is a great twist to the traditional tacos filled with brisket!

Being from Nashville, TN it is home to the best BBQ in the world until I found this place! Just to start the owner hand picks every single slice of beef, chicken and pork that goes through his door. It takes 18 hours to slow cook his meat and to say it is tender just doesn’t really capture how delicate and tranquil this meat really is. Business’s that call themselves BBQ that use liquid smoke need to re-evaluate everything that they do in life and not use the word BBQ until they see the standard that Hickory Hill BBQ sets for real barbecue. Make sure to bring cash as they don’t run debit /credit cards, this might because the prices are so low that he really cant afford any overhead, make sure to head there before they sell out!
