The Hickory is a recently opened restaurant at 155 W. Main
Street in Rexburg. The menu includes
burgers, sandwiches, and dinners like ribs and brisket. They are home style cooking specializing in
slow cooked meats.
The décor is homey and a bit quirky. The lights are all encased in mason jars,
some of which are topped by pie tins. If
you order soda, your drink will be served in a mason jar as well. It has a warm rustic atmosphere with plenty
of decorations to catch your eye. It is
very busy at the normal lunch and dinner times, so if you can, you may want to
come in later in the afternoon. It can
be rather loud with everyone talking when full.
Also, it is not fast food, each dish has to be prepared
separately once you order it and it can take up to 30 or 40 minutes for your
order to come up if it is particularly busy.
So, it will be a better experience if you go with a group or bring
something to keep you occupied while you wait.
It is not the place to go if you are pressed for time. The dishes are good, comfort food. This is not where you eat if you are worried
about eating light, but it is delicious.
I have tried the pulled pork sandwich, the chicken strip
dinner, and the sourdough chicken sandwich.
All were good, if a little messy.
The flourless chocolate torte and the hot chocolate were also very
good. How can you go wrong with chocolate? If you want fries with your sandwich they are
extra, but they are wonderful home style cut with the skin still on.
Overall, I give The Hickory three stars out of four.
