This place is fantastic. Hands down the best bbq in the area. Homemade sandwich rolls and fantastic smoked meats, what more could you ask for.

I'm about to shut down the barbecue hunt down!!! I've had barbecue all over the United States came to find for 25 years (Nashville Tennessee) the best pitmaster barbecue at that time! we stumbled on a small little barbecue place in (Clyde Texas) I thought Nashville was the only place that can get down on 🤠BBQ I thought my barbecue journey was just going to be a tear so many so-called BBQ pitmasters!!!!!!!!!! Until my wife and I took on a road trip to Willis Texas to have a church revival and baptism hundreds of people with (Kayla Gabbard).. As we approached our end of the day we entered a town called (Terrell Texas) we stumbled upon a building that which it looked as if it was ready for retirement we weren't sure if this was really the barbecue place called (Hickory Root BBQ) but don't be fooled by the old looking building once you pass through the doors it's as if you step back in time.. I would have never guessed such a pleasant atmosphere inside the employees are astronomical, ambitious, conscientious but there was one person in there named (Dale the BBQ Pitmaster) now I can honestly say this is the best barbecue we have had eaten anywhere in in this great country pleases me to know that Dale BBQ pitmaster with great passion has dedicated his life to be the best barbecue that he can give his family and friends. I highly recommend you put all your family in your car and take a long road trip to this nice little town called Terrell Texas and visit this great establishment... Hickory Roots BBQ @ 705 East Moore avenue Terrell Texas...... I fail to say such an outstanding establishment you think the owner would put a sign out front to inform potential customers this is a real barbecue establishment not a closed down flea market to the owner of this establishment do yourself a favor advertise your business with a big sign fact is food is great I would hate to see this business close over lack of customers due to the owners negligent of advertisement piece of information,,, your business does not fail you, you fail your business. God bless stay right and eat barbecue every night.....

Today was our first time here but will most certainly not be our last. The restaurant was extremely clean, even in hard to reach places. The food was to die for!!! The ribs literally melt in your mouth and have the perfect amount of spicy seasoning. The staff is so very friendly and personable! I can't imagine I will ever go to another BBQ joint.

First of all, it is very disorganized. I went there for a BBQ buffet and was told that the it was a Mexican buffet, but we could order BBQ from the menu. Second, they don't serve gravy for the mashed potatoes. It's paper plates and plastic ware to eat your food on. All the tables had not been wiped clean. We had to wipe it ourselves. The food was just mediocre and was over priced. Not the friendliest of wait staff, but not rude either.
7/1/24 I had to edit my comment because I did decide to have Hickory Roots cater our anniversary. I couldn't have been happier with anyone else. Susie gave me a fair price and worked out a menu to my liking. Her and her assistant, Shanna, were on time and got everything ready on time. The food was superb and all of our guests were very happy with it and the service. Susie and Shanna even stayed a little later and helped us clean up and took our trash away. WOW! We will definitely have them cater our events again. Thank you Hickory Roots for helping to make our party a success!!

I'm sick of the inconsistency at this place! I'm done, won't ever be back! Imagine paying $29 for 1lb of SLICED beef, and you get this #@%&!! Wish I could slap you in the face with these slabs of fat, but I don't wanna drive back it's hot!

The taste of the bbq is great but the service sucks! whoever works the evening shift slicing the meat needs to be taught how. and the difference between meat for chopped beef and sliced beef. also who eats a crap load of fat? we are very disappointed in our food, definitely not $30 worth. we will not be back unfortunately due to this place can't seem to get it right.
Great place for BBQ in Terrell!
