We had friends in and this was where we chose to eat their last night with us. We waited about 10 min to be seated, another group of 4 was seated after us and at a table beside us. We received our food but our guest did not. The group of 4 that were seated after us all received their... more

Throw away your credit cards--they don't accept them. This is more than great BBQ--it's a whopping list of great veggies, fresh seafood and wonderful deserts at recession prices. Best strawberry shortcake in years--and for $3 !!! Throw away your credit cards---they're not accepted here. Turn the clock back to the good old days when a dollar was worth something---it is... more

We just returned from a week of sunny Florida, sampling barbecue as we went. Hickory Hollow was the best by far. Great selection, wonderful sides, multiple sauces, and authentic atmosphere. The pulled pork and ribs were of course great, but the hog shanks were remarkable. It's right off interstate 75; convenient enough that we decided to take a detour back... more

Inconsistent operating times. Good sides menu. North Carolina barbecue. If you like vinegar barbecue, this is the place. If they are open when YOU want to go. more

We just enjoyed our second consecutive Friday evening at Hickory Hollow. I don't care for barbeque ... however I love this place and the food! The NC pulled pork is amazing, the ribs are succulent, and the greens are cooked to perfection. My husband and I are both from the Midwest originally ... the genuine good food, nature, and intentions... more

Finally, a non-chain BBQ in Manatee County worth going to. Through our friends at TripAdvisor we discovered this great little BBQ shack literally 5 minutes from our house in Bradenton. We almost missed the place driving at night because the sign doesn't light up. "Why doesn't the sign light?" you ask. That's because this place closes at 8pm. Get there... more

This is my all-time favorite barbeque place. Donnie, the owner, is the sweetest human being that walks the earth. How she tranforms meat and veggies into food of the gods, is down right miraculous. Okay here's what to order: the pork barbeque dinner (traditional), with corn pudding, spinach souffle and squash & cheese. And don't forget the hush puppies. I... more

The corn fritters my wife liked. The squash and cheese,no. The butter beans were exellent. The Traditional Barbque awe inspiring. The Ribs better than the barbque. The bread pudding better than my wife makes,and I love hers. She did not get it with ice cream but it would do well with it too. This is well worth the stop. Plan... more
