Hickory's Smokehouse Wilmslow in Cheshire East

Nice pub just outside of wilmslow

Absolutely amazing service from Mia. Thank you very much. Great start to the day. Thank you to the chefs too 💚

The cinema room is great for entertaining the small ones while they wait for their food. Birthdays always made a fuss of.

Great food , even better service thank you

Had a wild night in hickory’s smokehouse

Took grandaughter for birthday she said it was great staff, food and atmosphere .

Top quality American style food, we had a great time, the atmosphere was great, it was really busy but service did not get affected by this, there was silly waiting around for drinks or food, they were very attentive. Food was stunning, the brisket was unreal, just melted in our mouths! We had a shared dessert which was a little campfire with marshmallows and melted chocolate which the kids loved. There was a cinema room but our children were abit too young to be left unattended for that and we were too away from it so I would probably request a table close that next time. The only other little thing is that it would have been nice if high chair was at the table as I did request this but I understand it may of been to busy and needed at the time. I think it would also be abit better if the kids packs were on the table ready for them when you sat down with the kids menus but this didn’t really affect our experience and like I said they were very busy and maybe something they usually do- definitely going again and can not wait. Thank you!

Love this place as long as you know what you want. Ie it's not a posh restaurant. It's a good medium between plain pub grub venue and posh frocks ( I call them dirty plates) restaurant. Food is great and the service I have found to be brilliant.

They made our anniversary special. We didn't book or prepare them for it. We mentioned it in passing and they went above and beyond with their service and treated us to a little gift. Thank you Hickory.

Been here a few times, very lovely staff, delicious brisket and beef ribs. Definitely worth the money 👍🏼👍🏼

If you are looking for great food and a massive feed, this is your place. Yum yum yum

Quality food and service... great atmosphere

Awesome menu, great sports bar and a great atmosphere

These people working here are top notch. The food was delicious and large portions! They made all of us American girls feel right at home! Will be back again!!

Excellent food and service, very welcoming and friendly staff

Food was great, ambience too. My food allergy was dealt with particularly positively; the manager came to our table and discussed all the ingredients with us. The service was also very courteous, absolutely recommended!

Excellent to much food had the platter for 2 but I think they meant 2 days

Always excellent food service is always topnotch Staff are very helpful

Banging food great service go get your self the bbq blow out

Great food,staff super friendly and professional.

By far the best American style food I've had, the place is set in a nice quite location and not in a town centre for once. The staff was very welcoming and couldn't do enough to make sure you everything was good. The food was absolutely stunning and well worth the prices, very fast and hot food. If going with younger kids they have a little cinema room inside the restaurant so they can watch films with other children while waiting for there food. Overall I'd give this a 9/10 and we will definitely be back soon Only reason it's not 10/10 is due to parking the car park is big but spaces are quite narrow and the car park was really full even though I booked a time

A wonderful restaurant with FANTASTIC American BBQ food! Lovely atmosphere with live music. The only thing I’d change is to ask to be seated away from children who were running feral around the place.

Visited tonight with Family. Was well looked after. Great atmosphere, excellent service and food. The Cajun Chicken Fajitas and Steak were particularly delish. Highly recommend.

Shame we had finished out food before the drinks arrived…normally very good service..had to request water while we waited for the drinks..but promptly actually got the water..sat outside because nice sunny October day so food was warm not hot as normal..maybe a one-off..fingers crossed we normally love it here🤔

Great meal beautiful place 10 out of 10 for me

Once again a great meal and service

Seems like a popular place for birthday celebrations - there were at least 5 of them while we were there.

Wouldn’t bother make it at home

Great service brilliant staff had great time

American style diner, great place and atmosphere.

Make sure you're hungry if going for the foot long hotdog! Staff are well organised and always about checking on tables.

The beef ribs at Hickory's Smokehouse are a true BBQ feast. Smoked to perfection, the ribs are incredibly tender with a rich, deep smoky flavor that is enhanced by the bourbon gravy served alongside. The meat falls off the bone with ease, and the gravy adds a savory, slightly sweet dimension that complements the smoky richness of the ribs beautifully. The portion size is generous, making it ideal for those who want a hearty meal. To elevate the experience, pair the dish with their grape soda mixed with vodka. The refreshing sweetness of the grape soda contrasts nicely with the bold flavors of the ribs, and the vodka gives it just the right kick. Together, they make for an unforgettable Southern BBQ experience.

Always went for a really tasty treat and was most disappointed as quality of food and taste has gone downhill

Great place to come and watch an NFL game whilst chowing down on some delicious meaty dishes! Staff and food were excellent! A very welcome little slice of Americana in Wilmslow. 🏈🥩🍗🥤🍻

This place exceeded my expectations! Easy to get to, plenty of parking, the building is beautiful inside and out, love the vibe the place has. The food arrived hot and well presented, everything that was brought to the table looked and tasted really good! And it doesn't stop there, the staff are friendly and happy and provide a professional service you couldn't fault anything. When we came to pay the bill I noticed the tip was already added to the bill which I expected, I kindly asked them to go back and double it because £6.52 wasn't enough 😄 Look forward to coming again!

Great customer service, thanks.

Excellent food & amazing service with a personal touch

We visited for our 15th wedding anniversary we hadn’t said it was our anniversary until be where asked by staff then they proper spoilt us what a wonderful meal and atmosphere for the evening ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Disappointing and ridiculously expensive! The brisket was fatty and chewy, child’s hot dog roll was stale and it came with no sauces or toppings. Tips shouldn’t be automatically included, this is something that should be awarded for great service which we didn’t get. Definitely won’t be visiting again.

The food here is always great and the service was fantastic on a busy Saturday night. The wait staff were very friendly and the front of house who greeted us when very pleasant. We were a big group and we weren't able to split the bill more than 3 ways, which I believe is their policy but wasn't super convenient. However, it wouldn't stop me from going again.

Worst place I have been in a long time. No sugar free soft drinks.. Ran out of ribs and other items on the menu. Overcrowded. Never again

A proper Southern experience 👌 The food was incredible, and the atmosphere was extremely relaxing.

We went today for my birthday meal and to meet up with family and we all absolutely loved it. As it was our first time here, we ordered two platters for 2, to try a bit of everything and we were so impressed. The food was absolutely to die for. They catered well for my little granddaughter who enjoyed her beans and chips. Just before we left (before we all fell into a food coma 😅) the lovely young lady that served us, brought out a birthday doughnut for me, with cream and smarties on. (Which my granddaughter thoroughly enjoyed 🤤) It came on a wooden board with a sparkler and a lovely icing powdered design saying happy birthday. What a special treat 🥰 It was fab and we will definitely return and recommend to all our friends.

Excellent food and service. Would recommend. Staff very helpful and obligaing.

Tasty food. Great place for eating out with family, friends, and colleagues.

Just had our first visit. Food was amazing and service was exceptional. Highly recommend

We usually got to the Poynton branch but thought it would be nice to have a change, so we booked the wilmslow branch, never again, although the food was good, the service wasn't. We were shown to what I can only call the family section (although my kids are 13 & 8), so not wanting to run around like lunatics. The place was extremely hot, I asked if the windows would open, and we tried, but they seemed to be painted shut, which is stupid. When our food came, I had to then go and get cutlery, and then I had to ask for condiments. we waited a while after finishing our food for it to be taken away, we then waited a further 15mins before we was asked if we wanted desserts, we order and ate, they did come over with a birthday cake for my son and sang to him, which was very nice. It then went downhill, we asked for the bill and we noticed that the 25.00 dep wasn't on there, I had shown them an email from Hickorys to say that payment had been recieved, at this point I hadn't checked my bank because I'd had this email, anyway 15mins later I was asked to checked my bank which I did and the 25.00 hadn't been taken, great so that was sorted, we got a fresh bill but then on checking it realised that it wasn't our bill, we pointed this out to them and they went to find a manager, 10 to 15 mins later I had to go and find what was going on, they said my food hadn't been registered and that the bill I was given was the previous families bill....I was like omg what a mess...anyway I went back to my table and waited again by this time We'd been in this place for 2hrs and all We'd had was a maincourse and 3 desserts. They came finally with the bill, no offer of discount or anything just an apology, we paid and we left, we was never asked if we wanted more drinks the whole way through, I've never had to get up and down so many times to get service whilst out for a meal, I appreciate that they were busy however get more staff if your that busy, there's no excuse for poor service, we thought going to Wilmslow we would get a higher calibre of service, we were wrong, we won't be going back, we'll stick with Poynton, much better service and atmosphere....

Thank you very much to the team who sorted us out late on a Sunday evening! Great service and great tasting food too! Would recommend.

Love this place. Great for kids with the small cinema screen inside. Never been disappointed.

Top notch food, excellent service! What an excellent choice we made with this place! All the food was delicious. My hubby chose the 'return of the hog' mac'n'cheese, which he loved. I went for the player for one, which filled me up and it'll be enough for lunch for us both 😅 I opted for salad instead of fried, which was OK. I also have a dairy intolerance, which was assisted in a very professional and supportive way. I really appreciated that! All staff were smiling, they were attentive and helpful. We had a lovely experience here 🤗

Absolutely amazing 👏 Visited for the first time today and we were not disappointed. Having read reviews went with a big appetite and it was needed. Had the sharing platter. It was absolutely delicious. I don't know why but we also had a side of onion rings.... they were huge! Will definitely be back

Waiters were really nice but the food was mediocre and expensive, also the country music started to grate after 5 minutes.

Excellent food, Service impeccable we're so lucky to live close to this place.

A great place to take the family. The little cinema was a big hit and gave the grandchildren some space between food. Good food and very reasonable. Generous portions. Staff so nice with the children too. Would definitely go again.

We had brunch here on a sunday. Clearly a very popular destination and the food was authentic and well cooked.

Stopped on the way to the airport. Good tasty food served fast will go again if in the area

Great selection of smoked meats and bbq, something I will note is that the brisket that you can order individually was much much nicer than the brisket we got on any of our 3 platters.

Really nice setting, very comfortable, we sat in the extension at front. Food was amazing 👏🏼

Amazing enviroment with "American barbecue" atmosphere and food. At the entrance you can get a popcorn while you wait to be seated. Outdoor (covered) seating outside and also plenty space indoors. For appetiser I ordered the chicken wings and the bacon bites... both were incredible tasty but the portion size of the bacon bites is very small unfortunately. I also ordered the mac&cheese which had a great flavour, texture, and boiling hot 🔥 and for main the sharing platter which comer with several small portions of thr meat dishes such as the sausage (jalapeño and 🧀), bbq pork ribs, Brisket, pulled pork and a few sides. I would recommend this restaurant - it should cost per person between £30~40 which is not cheap but worthy it.

Outstanding food and drinks, great friendly service. You can’t go wrong, would recommend 10/10

Staff went above and beyond and even treated the kids to make there own milkshakes on the house. Lovely experience and amazing staff.

Food was nice. The chicken was dry but the ribs were delicious. The atmosphere was good. They added a service fee immediately without asking which I don't like.

We love coming here. The service is friendly and smooth, the food is delicious and the atmosphere is great.

Book early. We arrived at venue. Online states it has no availability but there was plenty of spaces. Maybe they need more staff. Food was nice.

Top class as ever. Defo book to avoid disappointment Update. Went today. Cosmic unicorn milkshake is out, the crazy carnival is in 😋 Update again. Brisket today was a thicker cut. Top quality, could eat a mountain of it 😋

Great place to celebrate my birthday with family with a lovely meal.

Our first time at a Hickorys, and they looked after us really well. Our waitress gave us time to choose drinks and food, without rushing us at all.Any questions we had were very easily answered. The drinks were wonderful. The food the same but far too much of it. So neither of us managed to finish our meal, as we were well stuffed. The bill wasn't as much as I had expected, and it even included a tip(although not enough for the way we were looked after. So we added another fiver in cash). We will definitely use Hickory's again.

Top experience here food 10/10 and Harry and Amy the staff as helpful as you could ask for go above and beyond for the customers pay rise needed for both of them will be back

Always packed but was it worth the visit? Yes but wouldn't rush back. Food was good but not value for money. We had the beef rib which was good, and the brisket which was dry and overcooked. Fried pickle worth the taste as are the onion rings but overall wouldn't rush back

Our family has eaten here together several times. Each time we have had fantastic service with delicious food, even though we have usually been in a large group (around 14) the service has always been equal in terms of food delivery to table and order accuracy, which is quite a feat considering the variations in the food and drinks ordered. If you enjoy barbecue food, then Hickorys is definitely worth a visit.

A great evening tonight! Highly recommend and many thanks to Becca who looked after the family and myself from start to finish!👏🏻

Really nice food ,if slightly overpriced. But it is wilmslow though.

Pre-booked in advance for stepdaughters birthday for 3 people They had forgotten to put birthday sign out ahead of us arriving, but did put it out once arrived. we were asked who’s birthday it was, which was already stated in the notes Initial service advised someone would be right with us but took 10/15 minutes for this to happen, inc bringing water over The service was miserable, the girl who served us had zero personality and looked like she wanted to be anywhere but work. Mumbled the whole time and was hard to understand her, didn’t crack a smile etc The food was salty but none of us could be bothered raising this No check backs or offer of drinks A soggy birthday donut was brought out by the same disinterested girl and we felt awkward Dessert was fine, I didn’t have any as I felt sick from the salty food Disappointed as was nearly £100 to be sat in a morgue like environment for a 13 year olds birthday treat Also far too warm, this was only alleviated when a customer across the room decided to open the window

(Not one for vegetarians!) Really enjoyed our meal here. Nice atmosphere and the restaurant is divided into a few different areas, eg. Sports area where there is sport on the TVs, a conservatory area where we ate - nice and light - a movie room…didn’t see it but maybe they were showing movies on the TVs there! All the meat was superb. Smokehouse platter was a great variety of dishes, all very good and done to an excellent standard. The slaw and pickles are a really good accompaniment, corn bread first class. Smash burger outstanding. Lots of other things on the menu I would like to try another time. Shared some churros for dessert, the other options looked great but couldn’t manage any more, was so full from trying to finish the platter I nearly had a panic attack. Service was excellent, really nice staff, discretionary 7.5% tip added automatically which I thought was perfectly reasonable. Would happily go back again. Make sure you bring a big appetite!

100% amazing place. Food is fresh and uniquely tasty! Staff are awesome, and the atmosphere, despite always being busy is so welcoming and friendly. Can't praise it enough.

Have been here a couple of times. Have always enjoyed the good food but the last time we went, we were very touched by the compassion extended to us by all the staff who served us. We were going through a terrible time as a family and tried to get our minds off of it by going out for some comfort food. At the door, we were asked how we were and how our day was going and with the emotions still raw, my boyfriend admitted it had been a nightmare of a day. They made us feel comfortable and their sympathy was evident. When our bill came, it had been discounted and the staff left a sweet message on it. We were so touched and left a good tip. I think it's rare to encounter such care from a business these days. Will always support this place!

Didn't go in just sat in car park

The food was amazing! We had a sharing board for 2 but if you have a smaller appetite it could feed 3!! The service was great. I had a chocolate milkshake which was really nice! Would recommend!

Great walk arranged by one of the managers, dog friendly brunch and lovely meal.

This place is brilliant. The food is amazing, nicely presented and great flavours. I had ribs, they were nice and meaty! Chips nicely seasoned but could have done without the pile of onions but that's just my personal preference! The service is another level from most places, we must have been asked about 5 times if the food was okay, might seem like overkill but all were bringing things to table and then asking, which to me is a sign of being well trained. Little things like being presented with popcorn when you sit, even for drinks, is a nice touch. Hope to return soon!

Excellent. Massive burger. I think the ice cream was a bit bland - but lovely cheerful waiters, excellent service. Love the American music and the design of the place.

Very pleasant staff. Food excellent 👌.

Just located outside Wilmslow town centre. Hickory’s offers a serene escape with American charm. The staff greeted us warmly. The slow cooked pork rib was incredibly tender. The chocolate was simply brilliant. They even gave me a celebratory chalkboard for my birthday. The popcorn was a fun touch, adding to the American vibe.

Lovely food, and the service is always great 👍🏼

The food here is gorgeous and the staff are brilliant. The service was brilliant. We will be going back many times.

Once again this place never disappoints us fantastic food helpful friendly staff nothing to much trouble this was our 4 visit to Wilmslow hickorys and each time it ticks every box delish food even a birthday doughnut platter for my husband 50th birthday how did they know 😆 we highly recommend and always happy when there's a return visit added bonus of the short walk to Hotel next-door were we stay .

My Food was great, staff were lovely and attentive,

As a birthday treat for dinner six of us went. Reservation needed. Wonderful atmosphere attentive staff shown straight away to a table for six. Great choice of food for all cooked freshly Looked and tasted fabulous. Special birthday donut and cream with a sparkler was a lovely surprise. Well worth the money and would definitely visit again.

Well, from entering the restaurant, you're greeted by a smiling member of staff, front of house. Escorted to our table, and a large bottle of ICE COLD water placed on the table. The server comes and introduced theirself and asked if I wanted any drinks., after asking for a recommendation. I went with his choice and it was lovely. A fruity pale ale, After being asked a few times within 5 to 10 minutes if we are ready to order, we weren't as it was a business meeting and we were talking, eventually when it was time to order again I asked for a recommendation, my associate and I went for the recommendation and he had the sub and I had the beef rib. Starters arrived pretty quickly. They were hot and obviously cooked fresh. The mains arrived, and I was already salivating with how it was presented. On my rib, the bone literally just pulled out. The meat was so tender it almost collapsed when I was cutting it. Deserts, I ordered the churros with chocolate dip. Unfortunately, i wasn't Overy impressed with them. My Overall experience was great, the food was absolutely outstanding (apart from desert) the staff were all polite, the restaurant was clean and uncluttered, and then we received the bill, £111 was a wee bit steep I thought and then I noticed a compulsory tip was added to the bill. Call me old-fashioned, but if I think service deserves a tip, I usually tip. If I don't think. Then I dont tip. I'm very open booked. My main thoughts *Friendly staff, *Hot fresh food *Quick to serve the food. *Felt slightly rushed at the start to put our order in. *DISLIKE compulsory tips * a little pricy. Will I return? Yes, but not in the near future.

First time at Hickorys really enjoyed the food. Went with my family all had a great feed even the kids . Will be back next time we visit Manchester staff really nice and service was on the ball all in all a great experience

It's one of my favourite places. Great service, food is tasty, and I love the grape soda!

Super service, we had 3 to 4 ladies including the manager serving our table, quite unusual to see in anywhere. They were all very friendly, helpful and genuine. We have one food allergy, they took it very seriously and treated with care, keep going back and forth to check with the kitchen. Also their skills taking photos were amazing, the pics they took for us looked really good! So so happy we picked this place to meet up with our family travelling from overseas. Food was tasty but a little dry, we had one full rack of ribs and the salmon. Probably just because we went on Saturday night and it was too busy. Kids hotdog is GINORMOUS, enough to feed a grown up! Campfire marshmallow was great fun with kids, but more like a try-it-just-for-once thing, considering the price and not super easy grilling marshmallows with a big flame! Love the popcorn snack they gave while we look at menu. But the churros was covered in way too much sugar, we had to scrape some off. Cinema there is a big hit and what nice surprise! Our daughter who's usually scared of watching movies went in to watch Moana. After that they played Lightning McQueen. You just walk in with your little kid. Would go back again.

It was ok. We ordered 1ltr rose wine but it looked like Pinot Grigio. Very expensive place. Just be aware staff put their tips on bill without warning you. Wont be recommending to anyone or going again.

Really tasty and nice food, very friendly and helpful staff. Ordered from there few times, eaten in a couple of times as well, will definitely come back again :)

Great service and atmosphere. Had the smokehouse platter. Food was really good for the most part but found a couple of the cuts of ribs a bit chewy. Brisket, Jacobs ladder ribs and brisket beans were amazing

Lovely place, great service, great choice of food and drinks and the prices and very far for the portion sizes you recieve, nice amount of space between tables, also fantastic management, my daughter had a small self inflicted injury and they showed genuine concern and provided first aid, will be returning.

We went on Father's Day, and we were a large group in an already busy restaurant. However, the young woman (unfortunately I didn't get her name) who served us was brilliant, very attentive, kept on coming back to us to ask if we needed anything and couldn't do enough for us. The rest of the staff were also great. The food was delicious and we all had a great time.

I went here with people from the company I work at to have a meal together. The food was good, I'm a fan of peach iced tea and here they do the best one I've tasted. Portion sizes are generous, I would definitely come here again and recommend it to anyone that hasn't been before.

Great food, drinks and service. Always a pleasure to visit hickorys, as the standards are always high.

For context I'm American. My husband has the ribs and he likes them. I had the chicken and it was quite dry and not fresh tasting. The lemonade is just seltzer with lemon juice and sweetener, which I found funny. I was expecting the lemonade to be fresh for the price. The service was really good though.
