Hickory's Smokehouse Nuthall in Broxtowe

Absolutely fantastic! It was our first time at Hickory's, and the service we received was outstanding. Our waiter introduced himself, and when we told him it's our first time at Hickory's, he gave us some beef brisket to try, on the house! This was on top of the popcorn. We were celebrating a birthday, and they also brought out a lovely sparkling surprise and sang happy birthday :) The food was delicious. We will definitely come back again. This was without a doubt the best service we have ever received.

Was told the wait was 45mins-1hr. It went way past that and we were told 5 more minutes, however people coming in after us, sat at waiting tables and ordered at the bar. Completely disorganised.

I had a grilled sausage with a baby bottle full of chips, and I went on the rollercoaster outside the building. Wow!

When visiting today, the food was amazing. The staff were friendly.

Hickorys made my birthday meal extra special this evening. All the staff were super welcoming and friendly. Yuliia took such care by making sure my birthday sparkler came with an alternative treat that was suitable for my allergies, this was so considerate and surpassed my expectations. Would definitely recommend, hickorys take food allergies very seriously in general, with seperate fryers and care with the drinks too.

Great food and atmosphere. A barman had some trivia to share about Guinness which was an unexpected pleasure. Unfortunately, table service was extremely slow and we had no cutlery provided

By no means a cheap lunch, but the fried Chicken and the Texan brisket especially was top notch. I would say as a £20 dish decent value as it takes hours of cooking. The Chicken waffle my children (age 11 & 13 liked but a bit sweet for my tastes with the maple syrup. Nice lunch though as a prelude to Forest v Luton.

had a romantic meal with my hubby was so lovely it's such a lovely place service was stop on food stunning x

If you like American style bbq this place is great been a couple of times and it was amazing both times

What can I say about this place other than outstanding. Great food, great staff & great atmosphere..what more could you want? I had the baby back ribs in a maple bbq sauce, served with slaw, pickled red onions & fries with a root beer float as a drink The food was delicious, the ribs just fell off the bone & the rub and sauce used in them was delicious. Overall I couldn’t fault the food it was outstanding. The staff there are really friendly too & I feel like they go that extra mile to make sure you’re comfortable and have everything you require with it being no fuss at all.

Great service received from Andy and it's team for my mate birthday. Place was packed but service seamless and food tasted delicious, shame I was driving so only one bevvy allowed.

They seem to get rid of the best items of the items every year

Saturday night looks busy, but not really. Unwelcoming reception, they are holding so long. Don't bother to go.

I had the pleasure of dining at your restaurant on New Year's Day. I enjoyed the chicken basket starter and a full rack of ribs as my main course. I was thoroughly impressed by both the quality of the food and the prompt service. I look forward to visiting again in the future.

Sonsutptised. Loved the Xmas Dec's. Cinema showing Xmas films. Free seats for kids. Decor was amazing. Inhad chicken waffles and maple syrup. Loved it. Very American style. Where staff chat to you a lot. But then get distracted and forget the cutlery or the menu ... Great for kids. Party atmosphere

Hickory's Smokehouse: A Cut Above the Rest Hickory's Smokehouse recently blew me away with its incredible food, friendly service, and fantastic atmosphere. While it might be a bit pricier than your average pub meal, the quality of the food makes it absolutely worth every penny. Food: The menu at Hickory's is a carnivore's dream, with a focus on smoked meats and classic American barbecue dishes. I opted for the Cowboy steak with chilli cheese fries, and it was cooked to absolute perfection. The steak was juicy and flavorful, and the cheese and chilli fries were equally delicious. Service: The staff at Hickory's were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. They were knowledgeable about the menu and happy to offer recommendations. Drinks: I also have to give a shout-out to the Hickory's ale, which was a perfect complement to the hearty food. Overall: If you're looking for a delicious and memorable dining experience, Hickory's Smokehouse is the place to be. The food is top-notch, the service is excellent, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. Just be prepared to pay a bit more than you would for a typical pub meal – but trust me, it's worth it!

Absolutely wicked place food was delicious

Got loads to eat. Loved the free popcorn. Nice clean place. Fab children's Cinema inside and outside play.

Website says they keep tables for walk ins but when we arrived the next available table was in 3hrs so obviously do not allow space for walk ins. Would book way ahead if thinking of going

We absolutely love it here and we took our son for his birthday today ! The service is phenomenal everyone is so friendly and our waitress was amazing ! To say it's the week in between Xmas and new year the staff couldn't have been better they made such a fuss of our son and the food was incredible! I will absolutely be back ! Thankyou

Superb, the place to go for BBQ!!!!

Great food wonderful service the staff were very friendly and very helpful

Been to this hickorys multiple times, never been a resturaunt I have returned to by choice, only because family members or friends wanted to go there for special occasions. Food is alright but overpriced, service has been terrible everytime I have been regardless of wether or not the place is busy. This time was by far the worst. Mums 60th, table of 6. First drink and food order taken quickly, great. Food came and ordered more drinks, drinks took half an hour to arrive. Empty glasses building up on table after multiple rounds of drinks, nobody clearing them. Desserts took half an hour to arrive and delivered to wrong table. After sitting on the wrong table for 5 mins finally taken from them and given to us which we obviously refused. Asked for 'optional' tip to be taken from bill. Everytime I've been here as soon as you ask for the pre loaded tip to be removed server's attitude changes. Still no glasses removed from table after 4 rounds of drinks. Server returned without removing tip and was asked to remove it again which she was not happy about. Given receipt for somebody else's table, asked for our receipt, given a receipt for yet another different table. Told I can't have a receipt now its gone through the system. Asked the manager to get my receipt, finally got one. Left unhappy. Too many kids waiting tables with little to no experience and absolutely no care.

Dinner on Christmas Eve on the 24th...there were a lot of people but we couldn't wait for a table... Call the 4 wild foods on the left...chicken salad...steak...Texas beef brisket and BBQ smoked chicken wings and 4 cups of wild drinks...the chicken salad and Texas beef brisket are both delicious... .The best food is Texas beef brisket...the meat is very juicy and delicious, and there are some surprises...the chicken salad is better than normal...the other two are just normal, nothing special...my name is Zuo A cup of grape soda... It tastes good when I drink it for a while... It tastes like potion... There is a parking lot in front of the parking lot and free parking...

Website and Google page says the restaurant has tables for walk ins. It does not upon arrival was told everything was booked for at least 3 hours .

I went with a party of 9. The service was superb and the food was great. I think it's a bit pricey but we still had a good time.

Our family and I have been to hickory's no end of times. The food is Amazing and the service is great. A lot better than Millar & Carter. I really love the food at Hickory's. Always come now and again for a treat. Fabulous Pub only a 20 minute walk as I live in Bilbrough. Can not thank the staff enough here. Definitely the best restaurant in Nottingham. From Jamie Radford.

Great authentic food, fantastic atmosphere and very good service

I was told by the waiters that everything, including the pork, was halal. Pork can't be halal...Am I missing something?

Great service from Konrad the bartender. Lovely atmosphere 🎅🏽👍🏽

The food was absolutely amazing make sure you try the hickory’s own bbq sauce too! Service a little slow but lead up to Christmas! Also do a range of delicious mocktails!

Superb atmosphere and very child friendly! The food is fantastic. I would definitely recommend

I come here occasionally and always have an amazing experience! The food is always amazing and never disappoints, staff are so friendly and helpful. Would 100% recommend coming here

Too expensive and do not appreciate having to pay a £6.50 tip. You have a tip if you offer one not put it on the bill. So will not be returning

Me and my partner came to hickory’s yesterday for his birthday that was the day before, a manager Joe greeted us at the door with a smile we spoke about how it was my partners birthday the day before and I’m assuming he told the bartender Kane and he was kind enough to make my partner a cocktail with no charge and had a lovely chat with him too, our servers were brogan and Elliott, they were also lovely as ever, both very cheerful and helpful, food was delicious as always! Highly recommend :)

If you want an American bbq dining experience in the UK, then hickories certainly fits the bill, on walking in you are greated with the smell of fresh popcorn, the food all tastes amazing but be prepared for your bill if those sides are too tempting. Will definitely visit again. Nuthall branch.

Our first visit turned out to be a wonderful culinary experience. The atmosphere in this place is wonderful. You can feel the holidays and the Christmas decorations are wonderful. The food we ordered turned out to be very good and the portions were huge. I recommend this place.

Really disappointing evening at Hickory’s. We took my little boy for his 6th birthday and the service was horrendous. It felt like we were forgotten about and just left sat there for over 2 hours which is very hard to keep a child entertained for. Overall a very poor experience

Fabulous place to go Atmosphere is brilliant Food is exceptional

Been 3times now Same menu a bit bland and pricy now

Came here for my 30th and can honestly say I won’t be returning I gave it a second go seeing as the first time I had come here it wasn’t good either, the ribs were dry had to fight to get the meat of the bone, can get a better ribs at harvester for half the price and it falls off the bone, second the table service was shocking we waited a good 30min for someone to come take our drinks order and when we had finish them we had waited that long that we had to get up and fetch our own, your trying to have a meal with friends and you have the chef shouting every 5min at the top of his lungs, the table was rocking every 5 seconds and just to top it off on the bill you charge £15 tip! 😂 tip what for service was terrible won’t be coming back rather go Wetherspoons

First time going today me and the family loved it we will be returning great food service and atmosphere

Incredible food, amazing atmosphere and the fact that the recipes are so authentic because of their yearly trips to America just make it worth a visit!

Got charged for the wrong food and had the wrong food delivered to stay with. All issues resolved easily

Absolutely brilliant, even though 5 of us walked in without a booking on a Saturday night and the restaurant was heaving they accommodated us and got us a table in the bar. Food was fantastic. Absolutely delicious, very tasty and keep quickly too. Perfect for a stop off instead of using a services!

Good service good food, overall very happy

We absolutely love Hickory's, we have been several times now and on different days of the week, the place is always packed even midweek which speaks volumes for itself. The food is always excellent, high quality and well presented. The best thing about this Hickory's over all the others is the number one top staff member who greets you at the door with a smile, a purr and a big fuss, none other than Hickory the Host Cat.

Great food and great staff. Unfortunately no handwash in the gents toilet, I did make a few members of staff aware but they didn’t seem to understand the importance.

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.

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

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

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 😊

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!

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

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!

Good food and service 👌. Enjoyable atmosphere

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

Amazing food, and great service.

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

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

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!

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

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.

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

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.

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

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!

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 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.

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.

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.

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

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

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!

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
