The Original Hick’ry Pit is everything you want in a great American diner-style BBQ spot. From the retro charm of the interior to the comforting smell of smoked meats, it hits all the right notes.

The BBQ ribs are the undeniable highlight—fall-off-the-bone tender, smoky, and perfectly sauced without overpowering the meat itself. Portions are generous, and the flavor brings you back to backyard cookouts and old-school pit BBQ.

Lively Family Spot with pretty good food. Standard breakfast fare with a surprisingly good coleslaw.
The Pie is really where it's at though.
If anything, go light on the mains and save room for the pie. The Keylime was amazing!
Crab sandwich was just "ok". Potato salad was bland, it could have used a few more ingredients to liven up the flavor. Ordered a slice of apple pie, and it had an odd starchy taste to it. I had the server exchange it for a lemon merengue pie and it tasted better, but still had an odd starchy flavor to it and the filling was not smooth. I figured out later that they must have been using flour for the thickener rather than corn starch, which has a smoother texture...
