Our second trip to Hickory's Derby was nearly cancelled today. This was due to my partner, who was still ill from the flu not feeling well enough to have a sit-down meal. We stopped by to let them know we couldn't dine in as planned and they offered to provide a takeaway meal for us. The BBQ brisket, cheddar/jalapeno sausage, pickled onions, fries and coleslaw are amazing, had a great little birthday 'donut cake' added as a treat for her birthday. We are sorry we couldn't eat-in, as the atmosphere is fun, especially at the chef's table where you can watch the action. We'll be back when she is feeling better and certainly appreciate the manager and staff going the extra mile for us today. Thank you for making my partner's otherwise dreary birthday a nice treat! x

What an absolutely amazing evening. When we visited, we were greeted in a friendly way, the manageress at the front of house was smiling and appeared to be really happy, she made us feel very welcome. The manageress remembered us from previous visits and we had a lovely chat. The manager was also stood at the front of house and was also very friendly and polite, he was also smiling and was very welcoming. We instantly felt relaxed and so happy to be there. The servers that we had were all extremely friendly and appeared to be very happy. You could tell that they really truly enjoy their jobs. The food was incredible. Very tasty and mouthwatering. I would recommend this Hickory’s. Thank you so much to all of the staff team for giving us a lovely evening in your establishment.

Nice welcome from the manager. Service fairly quick. Food very bland everything tastes of the sauce they use. My Wife's chips were cold and she took them to the chap behind the grill who then put his hand on them and agreed!!!! Probably need to retrain a few staff in Hygiene rules. Seated near the grill very noisy not pleasant. Will not visit again

Birthday Celebration. As a family of 10 we really enjoy hickories, sadly on this occasion, the service was very dissapointing , we didn't see the staff member looking after our table, for a large part of our time there, we asked another member of staff if.someone could take our drinks order, no one came, and so we went to the busy bar on two occasions to get drinks,the table was missing the special touches which included the popcorn, and we had to locate the condiments for our meals due to the lack.of available staff., they also got a meal wrong which meant 9 people were eating and 1 was waiting, and so on this occasion we did not pay the service charge. On a positive , we enjoyed the meal , just let down by the service and lack of staff sadly.

It’s a BBQ place that does some good quality smoked food. The brisket was pretty decent - I have had better but I’ve also had way worse. Ribs were good too - no dry meat to be found here. I had the platter for one so I could sample a range of meats. £30 seemed steep at first - but the quality was high. Our two boys didn’t order from the kids menu - our 13 year old just about managed but our 9 year old was beaten. It was a Saturday night and exceptionally busy so you will need to book ahead. Service stood out. After an initial let down that our table wasn’t ready, our waiter more than made up for it with his welcoming and informative service.

Good food, a little on the pricey side. My main erk is the fact the place is so very dark. Might be my old lady eyes but I struggled to read the newspaper style menu. Also not sure I agree with the tip automatically being added to the bill. Yes I know I could have asked for it to be removed but we were in a hurry to leave.

Overpriced and small portions for the price, left hungry and wanting more even though I spent of £20 on my meal, I had 7 chips in a cup ( I counted them) with my pulled pork, the childrens meal had more chips. service was not great as only saw the person twice during our 90 minute stay, once to order and then pay for the bill, didn't even get asked for more drinks or clearing our table for over 45 minutes from finishing our main.

Have enjoyed many meals here with family and celebrated birthdays etc as they have always been good at catering for my wife who has gluten intolerance however our recent experience has unfortunately meant we won’t be able to return and I am writing this review for the attention of other coeliacs/gluten intolerant people. The gluten free menu has a burger that may contain gluten which seems bizarre as to why it would be included in the menu. My wife has had the burger previously and we never got told it could contain gluten. We were told that it’s the same burger that has always been served however when it arrived it was a smash style burger instead of normal and was different. The patty was dry and unfortunately my wife was ill not too long after. Such a shame as I really enjoy the food and the service is amazing just spoiled by being given wrong advice regarding the burger and through this poorly thought out menu change.

I ordered a root beer float, excited as I love root beer floats, but I ordered it without reading the description. To my disappointment it was root beer pop, which I love, with whipped cream on top and there was no cherry on top like the drawing. A root beer float actually is root beer pop with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. In America Dog n Suds diner used to do the best root beer floats. Next item. I ordered the fried chicken waffle and the waffle was like a tempura batter not like a waffle which should be like a cake. Yuk! My husband ordered a beef brisket which he enjoyed. So all was not lost.

Met at the table by Josh who took our order, (Baby back ribs and drinks).Josh returned to our table with drinks and a free sample of their popcorn, plus their 16 hour smoked slow cooked Brisket and sauce. Unbelievable taste and will be ordering this on future visits. Big shout out for Josh, excellent customer focus and very informative on the menu.

Tried this Hickory’s in Chellaston after visiting the Nuthall one a few times. First thing to point out is getting to it can be a big tricky as you need to take the exit that leads to the housing estate not the chellaston turn off. Once you take this you need to then go down to the mini roundabout and then turn back on yourself to access the pub car park. Plenty of parking out front and the entrance is at the far end of the front of the restaurant. We booked table for 5pm (quiet period) and got seated after a wait. Staff were friendly and efficient and took orders correctly. Food was good and overall a good experience.

Having seen positive reviews our expectations of Hickory’s was very high, sadly we was left very disappointed and underwhelmed with our experience. We reserved our table for 6pm so naturally we expected to be seated when we arrived, this wasn’t the case. We was told our table wasn’t ready, people was at the table still and was told to get a drink at the bar and would be told it would be a couple of minutes- not a problem, however 35 minutes later and staff continually walking past us we enquired what the wait was for and then told our table was ready. All we got was “sorry for your wait” what a lovely introduction to Hickory’s this was. Next was our server who seemed agitated at the fact she had to take our order and be friendly or polite. She did seem to crack a smile when singing happy birthday to other people. We had to have our Cokes changed multiple times as the syrup or machine was making it taste horrible. After we asked for the second time the lovley waitress asked “what seems to be the problem!?” Insinuating we are at fault. we asked for 2 different drinks in the end as we didn’t have faith they’d rectify the issue. Only 1 of these turned up so again more time wasted flagging staff down to get the other drink. It was around an hour from entering the premises we had our starter. Once again the service was letting us down and was served our desert with no cutlery. More time wasted flagging staff down to get this for us. For some reason the lights kept on having power surges and would go bright then darken. Also the music was ridiculously loud and couldn’t have a normal conversation with people at the table. The quality of food was bang average, this coupled with the horrendous service and lack of organisation made our first trip to Hickory’s our last. A really forgettable experience.

Amazing from start to finish!! Could I just go out my way to say a HUGE thankyou to Karina for being soo caring, polite, just simply can't praise her enough. We travelled 3 hours to stay over in Derby and I honestly haven't experienced anything like I have tonight. She deserves a pay rise!! The littlest things that made my night was that she went above and beyond for me and my other half, not only that she went out of her way to make me a little care package as I had told her I had been unwell for 4 days but we pushed it out tonight to have something nice to eat from Hickory's!! Without a doubt will be back. The food is worth every penny, not to forget the drinks.. Thankyou soo much!! 🤗

This place is really slipping, prices remain the same but cutting down on portions and standards. We went for the breakfast menu, we’ve been before and my son ordered the stack of pancakes. This time there was only 2 pancakes. My eggs were overcooked and the streaky bacon was sloppy like it was cooked in the microwave. Coffee was lukewarm.

The last time I came up this way, was when the Bonnie Prince was still going and that was a long time ago. But wow, what a transformation! My friend and I decided to have a few drinks, before heading to Hickory's as our table was booked for 18:00. We visited on the Bank Holiday Monday (27.05.2024) and I was surprised it wasn't busier, however it was nice that the place wasn't packed. The American vibes from the outside were pretty awesome but inside... Wow! The American vibes are epic, with a superb atmosphere! Country music playing, American-themed pumps at the bar, along with American memorabilia too dotted around... Loved it! We were seated pretty quickly in a lovely area and were able to have a look at the menus. I took a bit longer to look over everything, as it was my first time visiting (my friend had visited previously, so was aware of what things they had etc). It didn't take long at all for the waitress Lauren, who was great, to welcome us and take our orders. We had water and a packet of popcorn brought to the table, which I thought was a fabulous touch (reminds me of when we visited numerous restaurants in the US, being offered bread etc before the meal arrived!) So we were able to enjoy that whilst our meals were being prepared. Although they were out of grape soda and a couple of other drinks, there was still plenty to choose from. I decided on the blueberry lemonade (very refreshing!) and my friend had a beer. After looking through the fab newspaper-style menu, where I was spoilt for choice, I decided on the 'Return of the (Hog) Mac', which came with a side salad and Hickory's delightful house slaw (probably the best slaw I've tried actually!) My friend wanted to try something different, so went for the 'Eight-Hour Smoked Beef Ribs', with a side of onion rings (the things were HUGE!) With taking in my surroundings, it didn't seem to take long for the food to arrive and when it came, I was impressed! The presentation of the food was stellar, with everything being nice and hot! Superbly cheesy, with plenty of sliced pork and jalapeno sausage and pulled pork. I can honestly say, it was quite the taste sensation! The onion rings my friend had were super crispy, and came with a creamy blue ranch dip. Lauren came to check in and see how everything was, which I think is always nice whenever eating out. After enjoying our meals, we were able to relax a bit before taking a look at the desert menu. There were a few things they didn't have, which I understand is sometimes the case with restaurants, so we decided on the 'Alabama Chocolate Fudge Cake'... Whoa! Rich and orgasmic, with a creaminess from the ice cream and crunch from the pieces of rocky road. The total came to £86.84 which is quite expensive, but honestly? It was well worth it in my opinion. There is also the 'The Tip Jar', which can be taken off if requested. But I like how that money goes to the team, rather than going elsewhere. And they deserve it, for how hard they work. After we had finished paying, we decided to sit at the bar for a while and have a drink, making our way to the outdoor area after a bit. Plenty of seating for those wanting to sit in the fresh air if the weather is nice, and they had the overhead heaters on a timer, if you were ever feeling a bit chilly. Overall, I thought the experience was fantastic and was really pleased with everything from start to finish. The food, the efficient and friendly service, the interior decor and music all made it a fantastic and unique visit. I'd certainly recommend anyone to give it a go here and I cannot wait to return again in the future... Thank you! 😊👍🏻

Decent but nothing to sing about. Food was average if a bit overpriced for the theme. Chicken and waffles was good but dry without slathering in maple syrup. My partner asked if she could have the chicken and pancakes but not with the 'hot sauce' chicken and the server honestly looked so confused by it. Eventually saying she could but not admitting it would be super dry without! Luckily I had enough syrup to share so that made it eatable. Atmosphere was noisy. I don't ever appreciate automatic service charges being added at restaurants. I'll tip if the service was exceptional, other than that, people are just doing their jobs and already getting paid well unlike in America where it's basically necessary. It's off putting and makes people feel awkward having to ask for the removal which places bank on. In current times it's already a treat to eat out, let alone squeezing more money out of people. Very off putting.

Pretty poor, really. Meat wasn't that tender with the exception of the short rib. Pork ribs were very bony. Service was hopeless, no checkback. Had to find someone to order food- no checkback. Asked 2 different members of staff for the bill. I was having a good catchup with my buddy and were told to leave the table after 2 hours. We weren't even given a courteous 'you can have a drink at the bar or elsewhere.' Won't be back, very chainy which you'd expect...from a chain!

I came to Hickory’s Chellaston with my family a few weeks ago and it seemed very nice until our server Neve came to greet us and she was rather rude, seemed disinterested and was flippant with my son when he told her he had a gluten allergy. When she brought us our food i double checked with her that my sons food was gluten free and she looked annoyed and said ‘yes’ in an agressive tone, as if it was an inconvenience to her.

Loved the Mac'n'Cheese with chicken tenders. Chicken was moist with a crisp coating and the Mac was really creamy. The USDA slab of ribs were tender and juicy, with just enough sauce slathered over. Accompaniments were good. Crisp fries, pickles and coleslaw gave a nice freshness and the giant onion rings were crunchy and sweet. Yet another excellent experience here.

They were told it was our wedding day & they had put out some handmade roses with 2 drinks & some popcorn on a board with just married on it, which was a nice surprise & made it more special. I will definitely be eating here again. Everything was perfect, I can't recommend it enough. Thanks to the staff at Hickory Smokehouse.

It's ok, the service was great. We had the brisket x2 and a burger with beef and chicken. Due to an allergy needed to swap the fries for Mac n Cheese, which wasn't a problem for the staff but then noticed was charged extra but wasn't made aware at time of ordering. The lettuce and tomato with the burger was just that.. one piece of each! At £21 for the burger and mac n cheese seems expensive. The brisket was tasty and tender, and the gravy was a great addition. The total bill inc 4 drinks and service charge was £111.00 and we were out of there just after an hr after arriving

The fried chicken was some of the best I have ever had! I would have given 5 stars for service as the attention to detail and time making proper cocktails was great...however not so great when you are stood there for ages waiting to place an order. I would go back again though and would also recommend it 👌

Food's ok to good, brisket was the best. Service is quite lackadaisical, don't Be in a hurry to eat. Be sure to tell them it's your birthday for your cake, like everyone else. Gets busy even on a Wednesday. It's not cheap, either.

Third time I've had the pleasure of hickory's. Unbelievable food, great drink selection, wonderful staff. Absolutely great shout for any genuine food lovers, sport lovers, or anyone with an appreciation for US culture (with more achievable portion size). Thanks guys!

First time visit for 3 adults and a 1 year old, visiting with high expectations given the many recommendations I’ve had. Service was immaculate (thank you Lauren) and I hope this is replicated for busier periods, given we attended on a Thursday lunchtime. Food was great, even if on the slightly pricier side. Menu is on the slightly larger side and left me spoilt for choice. Big fan of the frozen custard dessert! Can’t wait for our next visit!

Really enjoyed our visit, didn't have a booking but they managed to get us a seat at the Kitchen bar. The brisket was amazing and would recommend.

Unfortunately our experience at Hickory's was pretty average. Service started off good although they got our main course wrong, this was quickly corrected. The decor is really good. The portion sizes are no where near as big as people make out, basically average pub size portions, not American portions by any means! Food is good quality but overpriced. The complimentary birthday doughnut is a really nice touch. When it came to the bill, we were left waiting over 45 minutes, despite our table being directly next to the till point. We had to ask for this several times. We left a bit dissapoited as its not quite as good as everyone makes out. There's good and bad points about this place.

There was only ever one place that my hubby had in mind for his birthday meal with friends. Hickory's is great for special occasions and get togethers, but it is expensive. There were 6 of us and our bill came to £230. As usual, though, I asked them to remove the tip which they always add to your bill. Hickory's is good for families too and there's a great children's play area outside. It wasn't as busy as we were expecting considering there were only a couple of timeslots left when we booked online. The service, however, could have been better. By the end of the night they were short-staffed and we were waiting ages for someone to finally bring the bill over. The food went down well. There's a good choice. I like their mac N cheese and the 'go big or go home' burger looked tempting for next time. My hubby and his mates always share the meat platter and the staff were accommodating with the swaps they wanted, as well as bringing them extra sauces. As it was hubby's birthday he got the Hickory's birthday doughnut, sparkler and a round of happy birthday, which is always a nice touch. The only downside with the food was the churros, which we were not a fan of. They had way too much sugar on and weren't the best. Still a good night, but the general consensus was the Hickory's at Nuthall is better.

Food is really nice but they made us wait 30 minutes for our table (we had booked it in advance), we had to ask for cutlery which was thrown in the table and the manager was really unpleasant. If you don't care about the service, then I guess it's a good place to eat but I'll think twice before coming back or recommending it.

Food was good, had a lovely meal. Let down was that we were waiting for nealy 2hrs at table, only got one drink. Had to ask staff for the bill. They were going around in three's singing Happy Birthday to customers and not paying attention to other customers.

Rich our server was amazing! Went for my dad’s birthday and he’d never been before, Rich took the time to explain the menu and how things work! Even bought him a Hickory’s “bib” and my dad wore it proudly whilst tucking into the platter for 1. Thank you Rich!

Food and service were below average and expensive for what we got. We wouldn't go back,
