About Hickory's Smokehouse Earlswood

Hickory's Smokehouse Earlswood is a barbecue restaurant on The Common in Solihull, serving smokehouse-style American BBQ and open daily. The menu centres on brisket, with BBQ trays and sharing platters that bring together wings, smoked sausage, dips, ribs, fries and slaw. Waitstaff offer brisket taster samples, and the vegetarian options include garlic butter pretzel bites. The bar serves cocktails and beers, and American football is on screen during the NFL season. Birthdays get their own routine here. Guests can make their own cocktail behind the bar, and a personalised wooden pig is brought to the table to mark the occasion.

Customer Review Summary

Birthdays and family celebrations drive many visits, and reviewers describe staff turning a table into an occasion: a personalised wooden pig, a celebration board with a frosted doughnut and candle, a free first drink at the bar for a party of fourteen, and a chance to make their own cocktail behind the bar. Food comes close behind. Diners praise the ribs, the beef rib with its gravy, the chopped smoked pork and jalapeño sausage, and brisket called tender and tasty, with taster samples arranged by one waitress. Platters and meat feasts are called generous. Service is repeatedly described as friendly and attentive. Complaints are minor: one reviewer cites serious potholes in the car park, another wanted fruity cider options, and one party's delayed drink was quickly fixed. Several plan to return, and one birthday table ended with a cake brought out to the table.

    “Really enjoy this restaurant and atmosphere. It's the second time we've been. We went as a family of four, celebrating 2 birthdays and my eldest sons GCSE results. Unbeknownst to us the waitress had asked why we were in attendance. Both my lads were presented later on ...with thoughtful surprises: a personalised "Happy Birthday" wooden pig for the table and a celebration board dusted in icing sugar reading "Hickory's Smokehouse Happy Celebrations," complete with a frosted doughnut and candle. It’s those attentive, personal touches that set a place apart. As for the food, it was top-notch from start to finish. Between the sharing platter packed with wings, smoked sausage, and dips to the ribs, fries, and slaw, every portion was generous and packed with authentic barbecue flavour. The service was great, attentive, without being too much. Making our family milestones feel special. We will definitely be back for visit number three!”

    “First time visit and was blown away by how friendly and efficient the staff were. Great service and the food was amazing. I had not tried Brisket before , our waitress arranged some taster samples that were amazing . Rest assured I can now recommend the Brisket. It’s so tender and tasty . We had a lovely evening. Food arrived tasting and looking great. Service ace and a good atmosphere.”

    “First time going after the chain had been recommended by a friend. Will not be my last visit! Food was amazing, definitely worthy of being that special treat place. All staff we encountered were friendly and helpful, perfectly happy not arguing with the auto-added tip. Booked one of the outside huts which was lovely, great little touches like stuff waiting in there for the child in our group. Would have appreciated some fruity cider options in the available drinks, but that's just me being quite picky with what I like. Certainly worthy of the 5 stars given, and will be taking spot of my go-to birthday meal destination, can't think of much higher praise than that!”

    “Went for a “do-over” of my friends birthday, Sam the manager was amazing and invited us all back to have a better experience and I have to say all the staff went above and beyond! They were so attentive and friendly and also the food is always so good! We had an amazing time. Massive thanks to Corey for teaching my friend Alice to make her own drink behind the bar! Was an amazing experience and we would definitely recommend ❤️”

    “Was in the area for work and fancied some American BBQ. Fortunately this place was 5 mins from the hotel, and crucially, they had beef rib on the menu. It comes with a gravy which was surprisingly good. Served was fantastic. My server was great - the guy recommended (to be precise, he said “it’s banging”) the chopped smoked pork and jalapeño sausage , and it didn’t disappoint - thanks for the suggestion buddy! Really liked the atmosphere of the place. It felt very authentic.”
