Hickory Pit Stop BBQ

Brisket had little too no smoke flavor but was cooked well. It seemed to lack any sort of rub or seasoning, but was soaking in brine when served. They only offer one BBQ sauce and it is a sweet bbq, which is not my preference. They offer beer and wine, but no full bar. Not a problem, but something to be aware of. I've been told that some really like the chicken and the sauce, but I don't think I'll return. I prefer a more smokey and spicy meat and sauce pairing.

Best "dive" BBQ place. First time visit and went 2x in 2 days. Just excellent. Staff very friendly. Very reasonably priced. Highly recommend. Will return!

The food was good. The BBQ was delicious though. I felt it needed a rub on it though to add to the great cook on the meat. I got a beef sandwich and the bread was very soggy from how juicy the beef was (I like juicy beef) the bread probably needs to be butter toasted (on a skillet perhaps add garlic to the butter) to make it easier to handle. The food is cheap which is amazing! I think an extra buck could be added to the price to help elevate the dishes. I know it’s rated #1 in Evansville, but it’s Evansville. There aren’t many good BBQ places so it’s not a very high bar to pass as #1. The building is very dark and cluttered. I noticed they added led lights around the trim which helps. However more lighting is needed. The outside did not look like a restaurant. It needs a bit of a face

It was ok BBQ. The brisket was really good. The bottom piece of bread on my sandwich was soggy, had to toss it. Luckily we ordered an entire loaf of bread. Would be nice to offer rye bread as a choice. Would prefer a pickle spear to pickle slices. I personally didn't care for the sauce. Thin and runny. The mutton was good.

The waitress was nice. The food was not great. The bread smelled weird. The soda was poor quality in plastic cups that seemed to leech the taste of sanitizer/soap. The meat (spare ribs and pulled pork combo) was edible, but not delicious. The potato salad tasted like cooking oil to me. The fries were decent. The bbq sauce they provided was a decent sweet and tangy mild flavor. I liked the old small town diner/bar appearance. It was quiet, but i don't imagine it always is since they have a modern juke box and the bar. I likely won't return, but i hope they'll consider making some improvements. If it's working for them though, then no need to change for my review.
