About Hickory's Smokehouse Cannock

Dogs come along with their owners into the American-style interior at Hickory's Smokehouse Cannock, a barbecue restaurant on Wolverhampton Rd. The kitchen works around a meat-focused menu, with a share platter among the regular orders and hot dogs also on offer, and portions arrive large. A bar sits alongside the food, giving a wide choice of drinks with a meal. Reservations are required, though tables are also given to those arriving without one, and the restaurant opens daily. Groups mark birthdays here, often several on the same evening.

Customer Review Summary

The share platter anchors most visits, described as excellent and paired with portions large enough that one diner reported not having been that full in a long time. Close behind, the wings draw the strongest single dish praise, while the American feel of the interior and the friendly, accommodating staff, including handling an allergy and a partially sighted guest, come up repeatedly. Smaller reservations recur: the hot dog disappoints one diner enough that they would not reorder it, the mac and cheese reads as too creamy for another, the pork belly was not to one reviewer's taste, the cocktails arrive with too much ice, and the menu itself is called confusing to read. The most concrete complaint involves a wrong main course arriving despite the order being read back correctly, with the server not returning to explain. One group whose table was not ready on arrival passed the time in the cinema room with free popcorn, and several who like meat suggest giving it a try.

    “Out with friends, staff were really friendly and food was good, don't think I have been that full for a long time, if you like meat it's definitely worth a try.”

    “Great American-style atmosphere with a real Hickory vibe. The food was delicious and full of flavour. We had the platter, which was excellent, and the kids enjoyed the hot dog and mac and cheese. The mac and cheese was a little too creamy for our taste, but still okay overall. Booked a table but wasn’t ready on arrival, we didn’t mind because there is a cinema room with free popcorn whilst you wait. The service was top-notch and truly exceptional. All the staff were friendly, welcoming, and professional throughout our visit. Special shout out to our waitress Erin for making the experience even better!”
