About Doug Henk's Hickory Pit Bar-B-Q

Doug Henk's Hickory Pit Bar-B-Q is a 4th generation, locally owned, nostalgic BBQ joint. The ribs, sausage, and brisket are all really good, with the brisket being the most tender ever eaten with a nice piece of fat. The ribs fall off the bone. The potato salad is good, the beans are amazing, and the Cole slaw is SUPER fresh and tasty. Customers recommend the 3 rib plate, which includes potato salad, cold slaw, extra sauce, and a drink. The peach cobbler tastes like a Grammy's. The food is amazing, the vibe is amazing, and the service is amazing, with a 10 out of 10 customer service rating. The atmosphere is charming and the service is hometown friendly. The portions are generous, with one plate enough for 2 people. This is the BEST OF THE BEST place, the best ribs ever, and true Texas BBQ. It is a traditional hole in the wall spot, owned and run by Henk, the man cutting up the ribs behind the counter.

Ordered brisket sandwiches. Buns not heated or toasted. Soggy when meat added. Meat had no seasoning or smoked flavor at all! Barbecue sauce on table no flavor either. Threw most of it away.
Cook in back with cigarette in mouth, then brought out a while sausage with bare hands to put in warmer.
Potato salad only part of meal with any taste
Definitely won’t return.

I have eaten here before and it has always been great! Went with my husband today and ordered carry out, the worst ham and brisket I have ever eaten.....had to throw it away and my dogs wouldn't even eat. I always loved Doug's but I'm not sure I will ever go back...I know we can all have a bad day but this was a horrible experience!!!

the new ownership is horrible! What they called chopped brisket I believe was really chopped roast! The service was no better! Do not recommend-- at all!!
