Hickory By Kent Rathbun - Plano

I had a great experience at DFW thanks to my server Tiffany! She was amazing - friendly, attentive, and recommended three delicious items from the menu: Brisket, Jalapeno Grits, and the Burnt Ends Chili. The food and service really turned my bad travel day into a good one! If you're passing through DFW, don't miss stopping here.

This restaurant has a sophisticated and trendy atmosphere without being pretentious. We tried the 3 meat platter, a medium rare hickory burger, and brisket Mac and cheese, all of which were delicious. The happy hour specials are great, and the house cabernet is fantastic - I'll definitely be searching for it to enjoy at home. They also serve excellent martinis and the service was very friendly. It's a great discovery, although they are closed on Sundays. I can't wait to come back.

I decided to visit this restaurant based on a recommendation from a friend, and I am so glad I did. The place is truly incredible. As soon as you arrive in the parking lot, you are greeted by the enticing aroma of smoke. It's not overwhelming, but it gives you a preview of the delicious dishes awaiting inside. We tried a variety of items from the menu, including smoked brisket, sausage, turkey, sliders, tacos, beans with bacon, and buttermilk pie for dessert. Every dish was exceptional - the flavors were outstanding, and the blend of traditional barbeque with new twists made for a fantastic dining experience. The service was also top-notch. If you find yourself near the North Dallas Tollway and Sam Rayburn, I highly recommend making a visit to Hickory.

Had dinner here recently with friends. Never knew BBQ could be gourmet! Awesome menu with creative and tasty apps, entrees and sides. Drinks were well made. Only criticism is the wait staff was too 'hovering ', but better than the alternative of poor service! Try it, you 'll like it!

Ate at the Air Port resturant and it was absolutely fantastic! It took me more than 3 years of practice to master brisket smoking at home and this place is as good or better. The rub is outrageous and it's melt in ur mouth tender and delicious. If you don't eat here you are missing out. Kudos to the owner supporting the Armed Forces! The USO sent us over and they gave me and my friend the military special.... we both have over 20 years of service with combat tours and truly appreciate the support given by Hickory. Thank you so much!
