Excellent BBQ at cheap prices

Great BBQ at Great Prices! The staff does not speak very good English, but they can understand your order. The food is clearly visible as you order. You can watch the man cut your meat, fix up your...

Hickory Pit is Decent

The Hickory Pit has decent Bar Be Cue. I tried something I had never had before - The Western. It is a sandwich with beef and sausage chopped up and mixed with sauce, beans, cheese. It was really good!

Blah...

Hickory Pit is a real bare bones restaurant, which usually has the best BarBQ. So I was extras disappointed when I actually tasted my food. They have the weakest BBQ sauce I have ever tasted. It tasted half Kraft BBQ - half water. The links were poor and the brisket was a little dry. I can't really think of any saving grace, ... OH, the service was good.

Worst Restaurant Experience

(Lengthy review, but well worth reading)

I had a horrifying experience at Hickory Pit Bar-B-Q on Memorial Day Weekend On Saturday, I took meat in and the he assistant manager attempted to charge me $1.00 per pound to smoke the meat. I reminded him of the advertised price of 65 cents per pound. His response was, "Oh yeah,” He still overcharged me by $2.08. I paid in advance because I might send someone else to pick it up the next day. I paid $18.29 on my credit card, and was told my order would be ready at 1:00 p.m., Sunday.

I arrived on Sunday to pick up my order, and the assistant manager was working the register. He was wearing a tattered glove that looked as though he's been wearing it all day. It was torn at the cuff and was in pretty bad condition. He went into the kitchen to pick up my meat in the same glove. He touched the meat and I asked him to please change his glove and his bare unwashed hand. He changed the glove, at my request, on his right hand and did not use a glove at all on his left hand. They lost or gave away some of the meat I took in Saturday. I showed him my receipt for the premium beef I purchased the day before for $10.98 per 2.5 lb. package. I asked him to reimburse me for my purchase that they lost or gave away. He agreed to do so.
The assistant manager walked over to the register. I walked to the register also, thinking he was going to reimburse me. Instead, he started ringing up order, again. I reminded him I paid for the order the day before. The assistant manager said, "Oh yeah.” I reminded him that he needed to reimburse me for the $10.98 for the lost meat as well as the price per pound I paid in advance to have the 2.5 pound package smoked, which totaled $12.61. He tried to pay me $10.00, which I reminded him was not the correct amount.

What happened next, I could not believe. He put the money back into the register and said, "You did not pay me yesterday.” The assistant manager told me I did not pay him, and accused me of trying to take money from the business. He called me a thief. There were other customers present, and I was deeply humiliated. I insisted if they did not return my money, I would call the police. The owner stepped in, went to the register, and threw thirteen dollars at me. I gave him the dollar back, and reminded him he owed me 61 cents more. I told the owner I didn't want a penny more or a penny less than what was owed me. He dropped the 61 cents in my hand, and told me he never wanted to see me, again. I have been a successful business woman, yet I was accused of being a thief. I left the store and returned home quite upset and feeling humiliated and victimized. When I returned home I relentlessly look for my receipt which was proof that I paid for the order the previous day. I found the receipt folded between my credit cards. After locating the receipt, I called the owner back. I gave him the transaction and invoice information, along with the date and time of the transaction. His response was, "It's okay.” I told him it was not okay and he owed me an apology for humiliating me in his establishment in the presence of other customers. He apologized and said to come in someday, and he would buy me lunch. I told him, "Thanks, but no thanks.”

My last disappointment of the day was that the barbeque was horrible. The sausage link in my order was pork, not the beef link I d delivered to Hickory Pit Bar-B-Q the day before. I attempted to break off the chicken leg, and discovered it was a bit bloody. Fearing salmonella poisoning, I would not eat it. Finally, the brisket was dried out. The meat tasted smoked, but not seasoned, at all.

My only recommendation is that, if you fell like eating Bar-B-Q, stay away from Hickory Pit Bar-B-Q. Remember, "Money goes where it's invited, and stays where it's treated well." I will NEVER do business with Hickory Pit Bar-B Q, and recommend you make the same decision.
