Hickory Hut

What an outstanding place to have BBQ while traveling on business. My team in Salina suggested this place for lunch. Luckily we went after the lunch rush. Not knowing when the best time to go we went at 1230, still a great time since there were good choices to choose from.Typically with good BBQ places they run out. Obviously they didn't run out on the choices we made.The service was great and the staff very friendly. I would definitely recommend trying this place out!I choose the two meat platter, brisket & pulled pork. My two sides were baked beans & potato salad. I must admit the beans were outstanding. The potato was worthy as well. Both meats were smoked perfectly! I tried two different BBQ sauces I loved them both. I did not try the Spicy version.I'm not sure if my travels will take me back through Salina but I'd definitely eat here again!The restaurant had a nice vibe to it and it felt like a place you'd be very comfortable eating at!

WARNING DON'T WEAR WHITE...My hubby had BBQ sauce everywhere! The restaurant is located very close to the US81S exit. The it also has a drive-thru. This was our first time visiting, so we ordered in-store.The inside of the shop smells very good, and there is a fragrant smell of smoke. Reminded me of camping. You order at the cash register inside the store, and the ordered items are brought to your table later. Hubby had the ribs which were very fragrant and thick, and the sauce was not too sweet. I had the sides and was a happy camper! Win win! The service was also super fast and friendly.

Linda made the place. We were out towners and she treated us like we were family. Super quick really good food. I had a junior pulled pork sandwich and it filled me up. Their baked beans were really good, the coleslaw could've been better, but I still ate it. I loved that they gave out free slices of pickles (and you can take as many as you'd like) The place is cute and quaint, you sit yourself, after you order up at the counter. It seems like a lot of places here don't open till like 11a, Unless it's specifically breakfast.

Found this place on our road trip and it was delicious! It was so cute inside and the food was good! Definitely recommend if you are passing through!

Staying a night in Salina, KS so thought we'd try some local bbq and the lady at the Quality Inn recommended it Ordered half a rack of ribs, baked beans, sweet potato fries, and sausage.The ribs was awesome and the intense sauce was a great match The baked beans was on the sweet side, I like it sweet; so, this suits me fine

I love this place. We try to stop here when traveling through Kansas. Best barbecue around. Family run restaurant. Modest prices with a great variety in a pleasant environment

We enjoyed all the delicious food Bathroom had great toilet paper and very nice hand soap The background music was very nice Great service too Was a great experience

As Kansas is known nationwide for the best ribs and this place was off the I-70 we decided to have a late lunch/early dinner before heading west to Colorado. This was an emotional experience as the ribs and also sausages were SO GOOD. We ended up buying more to go for "on the road emergency use". The restaurant itself is basic but the walls are plastered with fantastic old pictures - the staff is unmistakably Kansan, a bit distant but they definitely get the job done without a hitch.... no BS.

Stopped in for lunch on my way through town. Ordered the burnt ends sandwich, with baked beans, and fries. Order at counter service. Food delivered within a few minutes. Sandwich was good. The burnt ends were flat and pulled apart more than I am used to but still very good. Beans were tasty and had sausage mixed in. Fries and BBQ sauce average. Prices are fair. I loved the help yourself pickle and jalapeño stand.

What a great find! The bbq was very good. We had the brisket and rib dinner with baked beans and potato wedges as sides. The dinner also came with a huge slice of TX toast. We did order 2 extra rib bones. The meal also came with a drink. Altogether $30. The fixings like jalapeños, pickles and onions were available. So first the ribs. The 2 extra bones we ordered actually came with 3 bones which was really nice. The smoke flavor was very good and the sauce was sweet and savory. The brisket was so tender and juicy. We put a little sauce on it but honestly it didn't really need it.The potato wedges were amazing: crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. The flavor on the outside was just right. They gave us this little cup of a creamy mayo based sauce that put them over the top.The baked beans were too sweet for my taste but they were loaded, seriously loaded with slices of smoked sausage. The TX toast was just the right think to sop up all the deliciousness. I would definitely recommend. For $15 each (we split the meal and extra ribs! It was a bargain! Customer service was excellent! This place is welcoming and yummy!
