Reviews for Hickory River Smokehouse in Peoria, IL
Stopped here for lunch and it was delicious! Got the sandwich special (pulled pork today) with 2 sides (I got both Mac n cheese)... and a 20 oz drink for $9! Best deal I?ve ever seen for a good bbq lunch with sides! Fast friendly service, nice facility, thefood was great! Will definitely be returning, many more menu items I?d like to try! Big menu with lots of options at greatprices! Very similar to Mission BBQ who copied off Hickory River?s concept but I?d choose Hickory River any day. Hands down! Read more
This place has excellent smoked everything. Never had a bad meal or item here. Friendly staff and great food.
I absolutely love this place. The food is fantastic, especially the pulled pork and brisket. The sauce is amazing, and the sides... are great. Plus, the people working here are friendly and welcoming. And yes, it is "counter service", but that just meansgetting the deliciousl food that much quicker. I eat here about twice a week. Our small family devoured the takeout brisket onChristmas day. I would absolutely recommend HR in Peoria! Read more
My Husband waned to order the turkey dinner, they told him they could only serve the Turkey Sandwich. What is the difference... ?? They have turkey to serve ... I order the Baby Back Ribs, Half order. If they were Baby Back, very bad quality. These were like reg ribs. dry rub. Not impressed with the ribs at all. no flavor, and dry, not moist. Baby Back ribs arefall off the bone Ribs. And not dry rubbed. Corn bread was also very dry. not moist. like it was day old. .over priced,for the serving size received Would we go back ??? Not sure.

1st time here. Friendly staff. Quick service. Food was very good. Atmosphere is very relaxed. Would eat here again.
Delicious Texas Style BBQ. We had the baked potato, chopped brisket sandwich, and sliced brisket. For sides we had some... delicious Mac and cheese and corn bread. We also had some chili and cornbread, although a little too sweet for my taste, it wasfilling and spicy. Word of caution, to avoid getting scolded at the counter, please enter through the correct door. I wish I hadthat reminder ahead of time. Read more
Pretty good barbecue. I really like their smoked turkey. My husband always gets the lunch special, which is a rotating sandwich... and 2 sides. Read more
