The Hickory House

Tonight I have the best ribs of my life! Didn't even require extra barbecue sauce as the smoky flavor was perfect as they literally fell off the bone. Very little fat, which I really appreciate and the baked potato w/ sour cream, to my delight the sour cream had chives in it, nice surprise. * *Accompanied by a cold pint of Sam Adams. What a perfect evening. Only one thing I would change if that would be the lighting on the table, perhaps a lower watt....way too bright.

Stopped in for Sunday dinner with friends. There were 5 of us in our party. We received very good service. Our server was very pleasant and accommodating.The restaurant has a great family vibe and is very comfortable. Lots of seating and a separate room for a large group gathering. Bar area is very nice and a great space to have drinks while enjoying for food and drinks while watching games with friends.Got the all you can eat ribs and they were very good. Came with salad and side. I loved the blue cheese dressing and green beans. Ribs weee tender and sauce was good-not too sweet. Pass on the pretzel bites. They come out over cooked.Will definitely be back in the future.

I have always heard go to the Reynoldsburg one it's better... so when my friend made reservations at the piano and I was a little concerned. I don't know why it was. We had an excellent meal there.Atmosphere is really cute. What kind of cabinet like a lodge -exposed walls. It's very woodsy feeling. We came here as a party at five to send off our friend to Maryland We started with pretzel bites. The forst batch came out really brown. They looked over cooked. They didnt taste great. We had a new batch put in. That came out just as disappointed. Would not recommend these to anyone. Save your calories. We also learned we came on all you can eat rib night... Which we didn't know was a thing. I'm letting you all know it's a thing and it's a good thing!!! For $25 (which is less than the normal rib meal) You can eat all the ribs you want and get two sides! That's quite a bargain- come hungry. The ribs honestly fall off the bone they're so tender and they're not slathered and sauce. They do have some sauce on them, but the sauce is perfectly seasoned and it doesn't feel like you need any additional sauce also is an excessively sugary which I really like I was quite surprised as I'm not a big huge rib person. I would get the ribs again. Id pay full price for these ribs too. They were legit good. You get two sides with this meal. I chose a salad and a baked potato Well, I chose poorly- both the salad and the potato were actually good. However, the salad was huge and I was full after eating it. I shouldn't of ordered the potato. Its bery basic. I should've ordered the green beans. The green beans are crazy good!they give you a lot. they're also super fresh, delicious and seasoned... I know this because my husband got them and he focused on ribs -so he didn't eat his green beans, which meant I got to eat them later when we got home. Nom nom nom nom. They have a shrimp pasta carbonara which my friend ordered and holy smokes is that huge and delicious looking. She says that and the chicken parm are amazing and her go to when she doesnt get ribs. I will definitely be back Hickory House. Thanks for a great meal and a great evening.

We used to go to Hickory House in Reynoldsburg during our childhood and it was amazing! So we needed a place to go for our holiday party and I said hey, let's try the Hickory House in Gahanna. The cocktails were amazing and the food was fantastic! If I had anything to say at all, I would say that the old 20 or 22 ounce Porterhouse is so much thinner now. I would rather pay more money and get a thicker steak. But it was cooked to perfection and delicious. We also had onion straws, which were done perfectly and had lots of other appetizers. Lots of people loved the cheese curds. If you haven't been here in a while, you really should try it out. We all left Happy.

Had a wonderful experience here. Food was excellent and priced very affordable. Becca and Alisha behind the bar were super polite and courteous and service was excellent! I highly recommend checking this place out!!

On a work trip some coworkers and I decided to try it. Heard from locals it was good. Needless to say we left hungry because everyone's food was wayyyyy tooo unbearable to eat. The waiter was rude. We waited 45 minutes for drinks, 2 hours for food, and received over cooked and awful tasting steaks, charred ribs, and a bbq burger with no bbq sauce as was listed on the menu. Appetizers were good though. Everyone's meal was comped manager blamed it on new food vender. Try at your own risk.

We stopped by the Hickory House one afternoon after an OSU game. While we did not have a wait time to be seated, our server shortly became occupied with a large party in the banquet room - so the service that we did receive was super slow. Please see my notes on our food below:Complimentary Bread - The bread was good! It was warm, thick, and chewy. Hickory Chips - These were a little too salty for me. With a little less salt - these would have been great! These are house made chips topped with melted cheese, real bacon bits, and house made BBQ sauce. Meatloaf Melt - This would have been perfect without all of the additional toppings - the lettuce, tomato, and onion. Typically, I love additional sandwich toppings; however; this melt would have been perfect with just the toasted sourdough, meatloaf, and provolone cheese. Sweet Potato Waffle Fries - I really enjoyed these!Beef Brisket Sandwich (husband) - There was very little brisket on the hoagie bun. My husband would have like more brisket on the sandwich. I did not take notes on what my parents or daughter ordered, but I know that they did enjoy their meals.

We were starving after my little one's ballet lessons and I didn't want to cook. I texted my husband to meet us at Hickory House because it was nearby, and I heard great things about it on a FB group. Of course we stopped by the restroom immediately because...Kids. The bathroom was dated, but it was odorless and each surface was clean. There was plenty of soap and paper goods. My husband said the men's bathroom floor was sticky, but I can't vouch for that. We were promptly seated on a Monday night, around 7 PM. There were a total of 8 occupied tables. I only saw one server, Trinity, and she was a doll. The staff was well-groomed with good manners, but the service/ pacing of the meal was off. Our server took our drink order, but not our appetizer order at the same time. Our dinner salads and bread came out after what seemed like forever, but like I said, we were hungry. I would have loved to have the bread while we looked over the menu. I was disappointed the bread and salad came before our appetizer, but I was glad to get SOMETHING. We ordered fried oysters as our appetizer, signature salads with house dressing, filet and rib combo, Porterhouse steak w/ mac & cheese, a kid's menu cheeseburger & fries, and a Hickory's Best cheeseburger with fries. The oysters' crust was delicate without too much batter, but so much sand that my younger daughter lost a loose tooth. I ate two oysters, but after seeing the first sandy oyster wasn't a fluke, I decided to spare myself further discomfort. My kids ate the rest because they clearly weren't offended. The salad was good, as salads go. I wouldn't order house dressing again because it didn't have a lot of flavor. Maybe oil and herbs? There were enough fried noodles and bacon to give the salad some taste. We were done with the appetizer & salads and we felt full. We wanted to pack up and go home, but our entrees arrived just before we lost our patience. The mashed potatoes were lumpy, could use salt, but seemed homemade and not out the box.The portions were heft, and I can't say I feel cheated. I ordered my Porterhouse steak cooked MEDIUM, but it was cooked well done. I struggle with eating steaks cooked that way, so I asked for a box. I don't generally send food back to the kitchen, lest I get the "special sauce". Husband ordered the rib and filet combo with the filet cooked medium well. His steak was cooked well done too. My macaroni and cheese was watery and not fit for a dog, but the presentation was nice enough. The kids liked their burgers and fries. The kids menu burger seemed just as big as the Hickory's Best. Cashing out was efficient; our tab for 2 adults, 1 teen, and one child was $131 +tip.I probably won't try this place again. Too many other places to get a steak that doesn't lay on my stomach like a brick.

I've been here well over 100 times since it opened. The food is always great! On this trip I ordered the NY Strip, baked potato, and salad.The salad was iceberg lettuce with tomatoes, cucumber, and egg noodles.The baked potato was old... you can taste when they've been in the warmer too long.... But was served with a tasty sour cream and chive combo. The steak was delicious! Cooked exactly as I expected, with a char on the outside.The server was AMAZING! He took an order for four people all their changes, and it came out perfectly. Our glasses were full, and additional needs quickly handled.I used the restroom and is getting dated. Lots of usage from the bar, broken urinal, and sloppy sink.5 stars for the steak and salad. Ding one point for the potato and restroom.

Parking is okay most days.Service is good. Food is okay.American cuisine. Salads are nice size.Steaks are pricey.Sandwiches are okay
