Let's Brunch
Brunch has got to be the most fun and certainly the most sociable meal of the day. There are few things more enjoyable than a long leisurely meal eating great food with someone you love. The Americans seem to understand this more than most, and the Southern States in particular make it a real event. The brunch menu has something for everyone, from Southern States to twists on classics, plus a couple of stacked showstoppers. Add freshly brewed coffee or something chilled from the bar, and you’ve got brunch - Hickory’s style.
Served every day until 2 pm

A Taste Of The South
Authenticity is absolutely key for Hickory's and that starts with the smokers. Anything good is worth waiting for, right? The Authentic grain-fed brisket is smoked for up to 16 hours in their ‘Ole Hickory’ Smokers from Missouri and their Southern Pride smokers from Tennessee. These smokers are at the heart of the restaurants, so be sure to make a
pitmasters day and ask for a tour next time you're in Hickory's!
The Smokehouse selection is cooked low ‘n’ slow, bringing out deep, authentic flavours inspired by the American South.
It takes more than a smoker to make the meat fall-off the-bone tender though. It’s the skill and passion of the pitmasters who have all been trained in the art of barbecue. At Hickory’s they have a saying... “Not all heroes wear capes. Some wear aprons.” And the pitmasters are Hickory's heroes.
The Smokehouse menu celebrates exactly this. Think stacked trays, platters for when you want a bit of everything, and traditional authentic staples you’d find in any Smokehouse in the states.
Not in the mood for something smoked? No problem. You’ll also find comforting classics, lighter options and plenty of variety across the menu - so everyone leaves happy.
And whatever you do… don’t skip over the appetisers and desserts. Trust us, they’re worth saving room for!
