The Hickory - Rexburg

We did not know it was a dry city. So after 8 hours on motorcycles we just wanted a pint of beer with dinner. Aside from that, the food was stellar. It 's a very busy place and the service was top notch.

Loved the turkey sandwich. Love the bottomless lemonade.

Dry ribs, no beer (but it is Rexburg, Idaho so expect it)

Ordered the prime rib dinner to go. I know what smoked meat should taste like; however, this prime rib tasted like it had been soaked in liquid smoke and not necessarily cooked in a smoker! It permeated the whole house and was so strong that it ruined the delicious natural taste of prime rib as far as I’m concerned. Just way too much smoke flavored, artificially. Will not order ever again.

Usually we love coming to The Hickory but the past couple times have been severely disappointing. Our most recent visit (6/17) was horrible. We arrived shortly after 5 pm (there were maybe 2 other tables waiting for food) and it was past 6 before we got our food, which was warm at best. One of us got the chicken fried chicken that was the size of a quail. The fillet was smaller than the palm of my hand. Another one got the bucket of bones, the chicken wings were burnt and some of the ribs were dry and burnt too, and the baker baby side had uncooked potatoes. Fries were old and cold, drinks weren't filled in a timely manner, and about 5 minutes after we got our food, our waitress asked if we needed boxes. Severely disappointed and probably won't be back.
