Hickory's Smokehouse West Kirby

About

Step into the Southern hospitality of Hickory’s Smokehouse West Kirby, a little haven tucked in the heart of the picturesque town and just a stroll from the marine lake. Open eight days a week, the restaurant welcomes diners from Tuesday through Monday, serving brunch until 2 p.m. and keeping the grill smoking until 11 p.m., with a final booking slot at 10 p.m. Founded in 2010 in Chester, Hickory’s has turned a road‑trip across the United States into a culinary pilgrimage. The family‑friendly establishment brings nine pit‑masters’ recipes to the United Kingdom, having visited 70 towns and cities over 19 trips to capture the true taste of the Deep South. Five core values—Authentic, Welcoming, Passionate, Daring, and Community—drive every guest’s experience: from friendly staff to locally‑hosted charity events. The menu is a celebration of slow‑smoked meats: Texas‑style brisket rubbed with a proprietary blend, smoky baby‑back ribs, and classic Southern sides. Complement your meal with hand‑shaken cocktails, craft beer, or a homemade milkshake. The kitchen is a hit with families, couples, and foodies craving hearty, flavour‑rich BBQ in a relaxed, dog‑friendly atmosphere. Beyond the food, the restaurant offers a warm, inclusive environment that embraces guests of all ages. The spacious patio, indoor dining, and open kitchen bring guests close to the pitmasters’ craft, while the location’s community spirit is felt through regular events and philanthropic partnerships. Whether you’re drawn by the promise of mouth‑watering brisket or the story of a family‑run enterprise that has branched out across the UK, Hickory’s Smokehouse West Kirby invites you to experience a slice of Southern warmth without leaving your neighborhood.
