Hickory House - Gahanna

Well, if I had to choose between this one and the one in Reynoldsburg, I'm going with Reynoldsburg. Everything, from the hostess to the taste of the food is worth two, less stars. The full order of onion straws here, matched Reynoldsburg's halforder quantity. While still as delicious we were just expecting much more. I ordered the same meal as to compare. With theexception of the salad dressing. This time choosing the house dressing. I found the house dressing to be bland. I wish I wouldhave stuck with the blue cheese. Somehow, my steak ended up on my friends plate. Easily fixed and then it was just right. Ilike a nice medium rare steak! She likes hers medium well, so you can imagine my initial disappointment when slicing into that.I found the ribs here to also be dry and not as flavorful. I do love the Hickory house but my recommendation is to eat at theone in Reynoldsburg, obviously.

Got here 1100am, pretty empty. Table needed cleaned. We started with half orders of the chips and onion straws. The chips I really liked, the straws not so much. Very thin, oily, just not a lot of onion flavor. I had the house salad with a change ofcreamy blue cheese dressing, not the house and the soup of the day chicken poblano. The soup was okay, felt needed more kick,but the salad was very good. Hubby had the ribs with fries. Fries were fresh, hot and thick cut. He felt the ribs, thoughtender, would not stand on their own without the sauce. Service was good. I personally enjoyed the music, mostly 70s 80s easylistening. I would probably rate 3.5 if available.

That was the first time we visited this restaurant. We sat immediately and our server took our drinks orders very soon. She was pleasant and had a great personality. Everything was delicious from onion straw appetizer to bread until the main course. We ordered the ribbed plate. If you like ribs, you will not be disappointed. The entire atmosphere was also pleasant. We would definitely be back here for a pleasant meal.

Good food. Direct dialing. Not very close, but good comfort food.

All the food and service was awesome! I wanted a steak for my birthday and this did not disappoint!
