Hickory's Smokehouse Nuthall in Broxtowe

Great place for a family meal. Kids absolutely loved it as much as the adults. Food was amazing. Definitely coming back again.

First time here and I will return, you won’t leave here hungry as the portions are very generous, nice tasty food with very friendly staff providing excellent service, they cater for vegetarian and able to adapt if you request,

Really good smokehouse. Delicious food and great service.

Our first visit and we were blown away by every aspect of the place, amazing food fabulous service and great atmosphere for all ages, we will be going back very soon 😊

Great food. Great service and a great price. Don't tell them it's your birthday!

Visited a few times and always enjoyed, we had a server called tich this time and he went above and beyond, What a great guy. Best customer service we've ever had from anywhere from tich. Thankyou so much x

We've been here twice before, the time before this visit I was pregnant and suffered horrendous sickness. When I got home my body said nope so to go back today was SO good. It's my husband's birthday and we wanted to go back. It's his favourite place and I can actually enjoy the food knowing I wouldn't be bringing it back up :-) So today we had Tich as our server. He was so friendly and the little touches made all the difference. He made my husband a paper crown which of course he had to wear. Then brought over the birthday platter not long after we finished our food. He was very attentive and had a good sense of humour. The food was delicious! We came away so full but happy! My husband had the platter for one and I had the baby back ribs. They were so tender and tasted amazing. Thank you for a great time as always!

Great place for all the family Good lovely great service brilliant for kids they have there own cinema room playing films to keep the kids entertained

Had a delicious meal here with the family this afternoon. Our 4 steaks were all cooked to taste and perfection. We were served by Leo who we have to say is a credit to Hickory's he went above and beyond for us throughout the meal, nothing was was too much and all delivered with a smile. An all round enjoyable experience for my Mum's birthday. Thank you

My First time going to Hickory's today and let me tell you! I'd heard of them and wanted to see what it was all about, being a bit of a wannabe yank myself i was blown away, I've been to many an "American style" bar or "steak house" and been greeted with the same generic faff on the walls just to be followed up with bog standard pub food claiming to be American. NOT here, NOT at Hickory's, from the get go the atmosphere transports you to rural America from the NFL on the TVs at the bar to the hustle and bustle of the restaurant, it's very lively and insanely welcoming. Prices are very fair at the bar given I like to treat myself to doubles. Onto the food! We had the corn dogs, bacon bites, sharing platter and garlic mushrooms and couldn't finish it all! I'm a big guy and I like my food and I could not manage it, round of applause guys! And to top it off they gave me a box to take my spare meat home (chefs kiss!!) You'll be seeing me again Hickory's!

Gorgeous food, huge portions. Cloudy lemonade hit the spot. Friendly staff

Good food and service 👌. Enjoyable atmosphere

This is clearly well liked in the area as the car park was really busy when we pulled up, we had a taxi there so we were unaffected. It was busy but the atmosphere was nice. We gave our names at the front desk and she had to ask us a couple of times for our name, she gave the impression that we were not expected. We were advised to get a drink at the bar. Drinks selection was nice and varied. I had a cocktail which was lovely. Whilst waiting for our table in the bar saw staff go past with 2 chairs, then we were asked by the staff to follow them to the table (in the same place they had taken the chairs to) so it did feel like we were an after thought, this may have been coincidental but I didn't feel great. Our table was quite close to others but not overlooked too much. Waiting staff came and took the order quite quickly, ordered brisket tacos which were tasty but the meat one one was very fatty and had clear gristle on. (We shared a starter but they are not big - which was good so did not ruin appetite for main meal). Good time in-between courses. Main meal arrived, and very nice. Partner had the platter for one, lots of meat and he said it was really good. I had the brisket sub and this was really good! Good portion size. Again was made to feel a bit of a spare part, as not given cutlery (had to ask) nor napkins. This was resolved quickly but shouldn't have to ask. No room for pudding. Took quite a while for the bill to come as there were minimal staff around, they seem to tend to the larger parties more promptly. The Staff were friendly when interacting though. Prices are reasonable especially for the portion size. Was a nice night

Always lovely food though they have now took some food of the vegetarian menu which is disappointing. Also we find the music to loud and have to shout to make each other heard, if these two issues were fixed it would be perfect.

Great menu. You need to be hungry when you come here. Great staff. Lovely food.

Been there many times. We really enjoy the shared platter, as well as the half chicken, the brisket, the bourbon glazed ribs, and the mac and cheese. They recently got rid of our favourite mac and cheese, the one with sausages in it, but you can still get the sausages on the side. And the new Beef Brisket mac and cheese is hitting the spot. Good range of cocktails, and we like the Driftaway tropical beer. Friendly staff. Fast service. Dog friendly area, where you can eat and drink, while your dog chills under your table. Overall, a great place for meat lovers. They have TVs where you can watch sport while drinking/eating.

Visited last Sunday with my family. Food was very good and staff excellent, especially our server Jess. Prices are fair. We will definitely be back. Keep up the good work!

Food always perfect, service can be abit slow but it's understandable when they are always so busy

1st time visitor and service was great, food excellent and served promptly. Overall experience great. I had the BBQ rack and literally fell off the bone and melted in my mouth, so tender.

Very good food. Service was really good and very easy to forget your in england with the decor and atmosphere . Will definitely go again.

Great food Great service, whether its an impromptu bite to eat or celebration with friends or family.

Easiest 5 stars I have ever given. We came in Friday night, was so good we came on Monday evening with my 6 year old son too. He says it's better than daddy's cooking and I actually agree with him on this occasion

Delicious food served quickly. I also found the drinks quite cheap. Will visit again soon.

Getting a table was shocking when some many available just not cleared Initial food came out cold but was quickly resolved

The beef and bird burger was absolutely delicious, and the iced custard dessert was fantastic.

Amazing food, and great service.

Came here for my sister-in-law's birthday. My food which was the brisket tasted really good but there wasn't much on the plate so I was still hungry when I finished. My wife's food didn't arrive until 30 minutes after everyone else got theirs. We informed our server of this who said she will get this sorted. She didn't go to the kitchen at all so we ended up having to ask a different server who then went to the kitchen to sort the issue. By the time my wife got her meal everyone had finished long ago and the chicken was very dry. When the bill came they had deducted my wife's meal from the total which I thought was good of them. So other than the small portion size and late food it was an alright visit in the end.

Nice food and service, could offer a larger brisket joint and was quite dry last time I went. Lovely staff and child friendly, slightly over priced

Honestly I couldn't fault a single thing when I visited and I will genuinely and highly recommend going I had the steakhouse sharer and everything was cooked to perfection while it was busy lots of other people coming in to eat it never seemed to get loud the staff where friendly and welcoming seriously if you can go do so it's worth every penny and I can guarantee you'll want to go back and try pretty much everything on the menu

Best to book as it's busy almost every night. The staff are friendly and the menu is extensive and very intriguing. The kids menu is good and kids portions are a very good size. The food is very good, and even though it seems like it wouldn't it caters well for vegans and pescatarians too! There is an outdoor play area for kids and an indoor cinema showing kids films too! The main bar has a big screen TV for sporting events. The drinks selection is quirky and fun with lots of interesting things to try!

Great atmosphere and service. Food is very good. Pricey but good for special occasions

Food was really good . Me and my partner got the 60 quid share platter and we. Couldn't finish it . . Many thanks to kyra who did a wicked job. And ps she said yes so thankyou. Well be back soon !.

Absolutely gorgeous 😍 food and couldn't fault anything at all and it was the hubsters Birthday so they made that extra too.. Will definitely be back soon

Friday 2.30pm. 25 October. Food was poor. I wanted a glass of red wine. Wine list said red wine. No further description of whether it was dry sweet or type of grape. So I asked if I could taste it. They brought me a glass with a small mouthful. My son paid for lunch and didn’t want to tell me until we had left.he was charged £1 for that ‘taster’ which was absolutely unpalatable for me. Sour and unidentifiable by grape. This small act of meanness together with the poor quality food is a no no for me to ever go again. As a further comment had I have known you had charged for that I would have deducted it from the ‘tip’. We also had to ask to be moved from a tiny table for 2 in front of the door which blasted winter cold air everytime it was opened. Also impossible to have more than one drink and a plate on the table. No room for sides. I would have given zero stars if I could.

Fabulous food , great service and atmosphere! Thank you!

Food was excellent and the staff are lovely. Can’t do enough for you. Would highly recommend.

Just been to hickories for the first time with the wife and youngest child, well looked after by Ethan. 10/10 for service food.

Staff couldn't do enough for you they were brilliant and the food was amazing, the ribs just fell off the bone, never tasted pulled pork until you try Hickorys pulled pork it was out of this world, will definitely be going back. Worth the 2 buses it took me to get there 10/10

It was a unique experience, almost like being in the US. It was outstanding for the kids. They loved the play area and the cinema.

Great service despite being busy and I'd recommend booking in advance

Great place for a small gathering of friends and/or family celebrating. Food was really nice and well anticipated by the staff. Lauren our server did an outstanding job keeping us feed and watered..... Highly recommended for food, service and price.

We went last night for my birthday it is 100% worth a visit here, the atmosphere, service and food is amazing!! All the staff are lovely, especially our server Jess. She went up and beyond for us, I ordered cocktails and she made it into a special drinks board for my birthday which was a lovely personal touch that I didn’t expect but was very much appreciated! The food is always 10/10 you won’t be disappointed. Thank you for a great night!

Great place for special occasions. They take great pride in their customer service. The food is top notch. Had a great time and I'll definitely be going back!

Absolutely wonderful in every way, especially for a special occasion where you want a lively atmosphere. Could be a little noisy for anyone wanting a romantic evening.

First time I've been, and it was excellent. It's expensive, but it's well worth it for a treat for yourself.

Took my lad for his 10th birthday, this must be our 30+ visit to the hickory's chain and as always the service food was bang on. They even gave him a birthday desert with accompanying chorus of happy birthday. If you haven't had a hickorys, you're missing out.

Went this weekend for a birthday unfortunately the place is starting to go downhill. The food is still good but the service was shocking. We waited nearly 30mins after being seated for our waitress to come & take the order we then had to track her down to say we were ready for the main course. On all our other visits any food we had left over was always taken away & boxed for us this time we were told they don't do to go boxes & we were brought several sheets of tin foil & a bag so had to pack away the food ourselves. Probably won't be going as often as we used to. Not only great dinners but great breakfasts too.

First time tonight .we had the platter to share .absolutely outstanding. Great service.. great quality food ..great experience highly recommend

4th visit for my birthday....family had a great time as always I had the cowboy steak again (£25) with a side of mushrooms...and OMG are they good!! Overall the food and service was epic.

First ever time at a Hickorys and it certainly won't be my last! Firstly the staff are amazing and super friendly. My waiter was Ethan and provided super friendly service throughout my evening meal, even helping me decide between the many interesting and tasty sounding dishes on offer. The food is really tasty, I had the chicken waffles and a cookie sandwich for dessert all washed down with a root beer float. Perhaps I over did it a little bit I am completely stuffed. I can't recommend this place enough if you are in the area I whole heartily recommend this great restaurant!

Came here with family for a double Birthday Meal for myself & my dad, they put a sign on the table saying "Happy Birthday" food was amazing we ordered, the Hickorys smokehouse BBQ chicken, 2 memphis baby back ribs with maple, beef brisket with extra sides & kids mac and cheese with chips 10/10 we had pudding and they brought us both a Hickorys Birthday donut each & sang happy birthday with both our names which was really nice! Also Absolutely loved the Grape Soda!! This was my 2nd time coming and will be Absolutely coming again.. I forgot the nice gentleman's name who served us but he was amazing too! & my boyfriend left a bigger tip as they was amazing along with the food! Thank you😊 Visted on 11/10/2024 at 6pm

We absolutely loved Hickory’s The smell as you walk in is divine The decor is fantastic The food was amazing and we ate every bit The atmosphere is fun and friendly The servers are great There is a cinema for the young ones to keep them busy Try it and you won’t be disappointed

Not as good as it used to be but still is decent. Feels like a chain

Brilliant, attentive service. Food is very nice! Large portions, I don't think any of us finished our plates but very good value for money!

First visit to Hickory's, food was lovely and cooked perfectly. The atmosphere and restaurant staff were great too. Portion sizes were just ok, nothing big, I was alittle disappointed with the brisket sub as the brisket was pretty absent but the whole experience was good. For special occasions this is a go to and we'll return for sure.

We went last night 09/10/24 for my daughters 18th and omgg it was amazing and Ethan the waiter went absolutely above and beyond. He is such an asset to your company. Other waitress (I didn't get her name) was so lovely too. Front of house welcomer was very smiley and welcoming. Absolutely have the right sort of staff there. Well done Hickories

Amazing tasting food. Overpriced for portion sizes but the meat melted in our mouths. Very good flavours and smells. Cocktails and rum options were great. Could improve the lager options though. Very accommodating for birthdays.

The food was ahh, the service was a little slow and burnt.

We revisited Hickory’s as last time we visited we had not such a great experience. We were served by a manager, didn’t catch her name but her service was excellent. We went all out with 3 courses and a few drinks each. All the food was piping hot, well presented and delicious. After our last experience which took us 4 months to revisit, we will be coming back again sooner. Thankyou to the nuthall team for giving us a lovely new experience. We throughly enjoyed ourselves.

This place was incredible, it was my partners birthday so they gave us a tour of their smokers which was amazing as we both work in hospitality so we loved that and the food was unreal!!! Would recommend to anyone.

Excellent food. Good service though the management decided to put on the bill 7.5% tip. I don't mind the tip but to force me to do it is not acceptable for me.

Thursday night Shared BBQ Platter was excellent!

Had the salad. Way too much Caesar salad sauce. Sickly, which Isn't what you'd expect from a salad. 🫤

The atmosphere, staff and most importantly the food is amazing, really varied menu, bacon bites, chicken skewers for starters & brisket, salmon were firm favourites, definitely will be returning 😋 almost forgot! Delicious dessert, lemon meringue waffle & root beer float!!!

Not a huge 'american food' fan (bit meaty sloppy, saucy etc) but really enjoyed this place...would go again👌🏼

Meal was lovely only down side it was busy but it was nice x

Had the sharing platter. Fast and friendly service and a great atmosphere. So much food it’s unreal. Highly recommend.

First visit to a Smokehouse but will definitely be back, the service and food were exceptional even a small cinema and play area for the kids.

Wonderfully kind after our car broke down nearby. Thank you so much. Beautiful establishment.

Really nice food. On the pricier side but the platter was super tasty. The brisket was the best part

Very tasty American style BBQ. The Smokehouse Platter we ordered was delicious and enough for 3 people. As starters, we ordered the Smoky Bourbon Bacon Bites and Magic-Dusted Tater Tots, which turned out great. The service was very nice and polite. Unfortunately, at the end it turned out that a 7.5% tip was added to our bill without our consent. Things like this shouldn't happen with a guaranteed minimum wage. UK is not USA!

Had a really lovely meal for my husbands birthday. Tich took our order and looked after us and he was so lovely and good fun. Our boys enjoyed the little cinema and the outdoor play area, a brilliant place for families.

Food is really good and Grandson loved watching Mulan with free popcorn.

Such lovley food, and the staff were amazing, told them it was my sons birthday, they made a hat for him and gave him a donunt with cream on a wooden board, will definitely be back

Having been here a few times and loved everything about it, I booked it for my son's birthday. I don't know if the staff had Sunday evening blues but the service was lacking the usual enthusiasm and dropped the ball on many levels this evening. Putting a family group in the bar area with a young baby was very disappointing when I'd stated when booking that we would need room for a pram when booking. The staff were disinterested in creating an upbeat atmosphere and were rude when bringing out mains. Instead of placing drinks and meals with each person we were expected to pass them along to each other, the lack of service lead to me refusing to pay the 7.5% tip on the bill. Unfortunately even though the food was great I doubt we will be returning for future family occasions.

Very slow service Food order wrong from grill Correct side order not brought until other food nearly all eaten We had to find someone to pay for our meal Would anyone have known if we'd not paid out £160 bill? Maybe not 😯 Good job we were honest!🤨

1st ever visit, and will definitely be visiting again.

Came here for a quick bite as was staying at a hotel just up the road - the place was packed with a 45 minute wait for a table but the super friendly chap at the front offered me a seat at the kitchen bar and an immediate seat. I’m glad I took this option as I got to see the workings of the kitchen and how crazy hard these people have to work. The food was excellent, the service beyond expectations (I wish I’d got his name to give him a shout out) the atmosphere =buzzing. The shift managers also do a great job, I witnessed how serious they take orders with allergies with them instructing the chefs about each one - which was extremely comforting as I have a food allergy. The menu is great, I always come to a hickory’s when I’m back home from Canada and wish I could transport a branch back over the pond.

Was really excited to come and try hickory’s however the service was quite poor…asked within 30 seconds of sitting down what we would like then didn’t see the waitress again for 20 minutes- too busy socialising with the big groups we became forgotten…ordered an additional drink with mains which was forgotten about and never arrived…different waitress served us food and took away, didn’t see our waitress again until we received the bill. Food was okay but ruined by service unfortunately.

Awesome place with very nice American food. Very spacious inside with great facilities.

Great food great staff great time 😁

The food was really good as always,

Great place to take kids for a meal as they have both an amazing play area and a small cinema playing kids movies.

Late tea after a day at Donington Park was superbly delivered with bags of flavour and meat galore!! Ribs were awesome. Beef was melt in the mouth Probs a bit too much to fit it all in for 2 sharing. Liked it a lot and smelt like a smokehouse for about a day afterwards.. lol. We will be back.

Welcoming, attentive service. Friendly atmosphere, food reasonable for the price. Overall well above average experience.

I never normally write reviews, but the service I had was really worthy of one. Upon arriving I was warmly greated by enthusiastic and personable hosts. Despite it being a busy shift, chefs Luke and Caleb took the first opportunity to welcome me and continued this throughout the evening. Both are a real asset to Hickory’s, and I hope that their professionalism, hospitality, and the personal touch that they provide with their service is noticed, as it really does make you want to visit again. Thanks Luke and Kaleb, and the team!

Food was cooked well but changed the menu to be the same as every other high street chain/pub removed a lot of the things that made this Restaurant different. Changed the white Alabama sauce to hot honey? Changed the sauce on the corn dogs? Removed the Louisiana tata tots? Everything I wanted to order and that they did well has gone from the menu, don’t change what’s not broken. would say it is too expensive to pay for what I can get in my local pub. Service was great though. Staff always very personable and easy to get on with.

Food superb, service was TERRIBLE! Been three times in total and the service is getting worse, im questioning is it worth ever returning. Main course brought out whilst the starter plates not cleared, drinks brought and a table full of empties left. Its just frustrating. For the first time I've ever ask for the service charge to be removed. The chiefs are totally holding that place up, the food was as always amazing and the cinema and outdoor park is great, but the service staff need a good shake!

Very good food and brilliant atmosphere. Definitely coming again

Normally great night out , but tonight really poor went for a birthday meal and was treated like a second class citizen....waiter service was poor so we paid and left!!

If I could give more stars to service I would and the food is amazing 🤟

Lovely place, great staff but it was too loud! Couldn't hear anyone over the music

Been here a few times now. Food is always good and the business of the restaurant allows for a good vibe. Just be aware that it is quite pricey if you have a big family. However the atmosphere is great and if you have kids, there is loads to do for them. Including a cinema room, outdoor play area and an ice-cream sundae station. The popcorn on arrival is a nice touch too. The frickles are a must!

Never had a bad meal here. It’s getting pricey however the platter selection just has all the best bits!!

Food was amazing! But we were rushed out of there before our plates had even been cleared. We weren’t offered another drink or desserts - we were only there around an hour. I appreciate they were busy but the bill was brought over as soon as we’d finished eating and we actually would have stayed for another cocktail.

Hickory’s Smokehouse in Nuthall is a true gem for BBQ lovers! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfect for a casual meal with friends or family. The menu offers a fantastic variety of smoked meats, all cooked to perfection. I highly recommend the brisket and pulled pork both are incredibly tender and flavorful. The sides, especially the mac and cheese, complement the mains beautifully. The staff is friendly and attentive, making for a delightful dining experience. Don’t miss out on their selection of beers to pair with your meal. Overall, a must-visit for anyone craving authentic barbecue!

First time at a hickory's and horrible service.Had no idea where to go as no one greeted me for 5 minutes. Finally when spotted, asked if.it was my.first time which I said yes and wasn't told anything else. After being showed my seat, I sat for around 20 minutes, not had my order or even my drink taken. I thought I had to order at the till since I hadn't been told but the chef said no, he'd find someone. After another 5 minutes wait, I left. I have a flight today and waiting 25 minutes for not even having my order taken, I was worried to think how long the food would take. Definitely don't come if you if you plan to order anything 😂

Food as always is amazing. But the bar staff really made our evening, Told the member of staff we really like the hard cherry cola drink and thet we'd bought the ingredients to have a go at making it at home. Well, he invited us behind the bar to learn about the measures to create the drink, and checked with his manager before giving us two hard cherry cola glasses and a bottle of IPA to take home....wow, what service if you haven't been, then I highly recommend you visit. The security guy is so friendly aswell, always having a chat with customers.
