Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the staff, describing them as friendly, welcoming and attentive even when the room is busy. Allergy handling comes up repeatedly. One diner says the manager spent a long conversation taking a detailed list of foods to avoid, checked ingredients with the chef and arranged a children's meal with swaps, while another praises the allergy advice and the food checks to avoid nasty surprises. Close behind is the food, called delicious with good portions, including the Cajun Chicken Fajitas, an American Screwball FroCo and a Tuesday chicken deal of crispy mixed pieces with fries, slaw, dirty beans and corn. Visitors also mention a graduation dessert board and a dog being brought a bowl of chilled water. The recurring complaints are a chaotic seating mix-up at a birthday table and music so loud that diners had to shout to be heard. One reviewer suggests reserving because it gets really busy. One family's milkshake masterclass for a three-year-old ended with staff replacing the creation after she knocked it over.

“Had an amazing experience at Hickory’s Steakhouse! The food was absolutely delicious, and the quality was excellent. Everything was cooked perfectly and full of flavour. The customer service was outstanding. Our server, Mannie, was incredibly attentive, friendly and helpful. He regularly checked in to make sure everything was okay and made us feel really welcomed throughout our visit. It wasn’t just Mannie either — the whole team was attentive, professional and genuinely made an effort to provide great service. The atmosphere was beautiful, with such authentic vibes that made the whole experience even more enjoyable. You can really appreciate the attention to detail, both in the food and the service. Definitely a 5-star experience! We really appreciated the quality, atmosphere and wonderful service. Would happily come back again”

“Having visited many Hickory's around the country it was the 1st time visiting this one the staff are very welcoming and helpful. I had the Cakun Chicken Fajitas and American Screwball FroCo I could reccomend both there was plenty of other options too for every taste and dietary requirements. Perhaps reserve a table a table to guarantee a table as can it get really busy.”

“Amazing service from start to finish. Food was delicious as always and the servers were more than accommodating. Aimee and Beth went above and beyond for our little ones 3rd Birthday. They arranged a milkshake masterclass for her, Trey was amazing with her and helped her to create her masterpiece and replaced it after she knocked it over. She was made up when she was given a cake birthday card and stickers. An experience she will never forget! Thank you to everyone at hickorys for amazing service as always!”

“This was my first visit to a Hickory’s - and I will definitely be returning. The staff were amazing and, because of my food allergies/intolerances, the manager spent almost fifteen minutes talking to me. She took a detailed list of what I couldn’t eat, then went to talk to the chef about the ingredients in my food choices. They allowed me to have a children’s meal and swapped a few things around to ensure I didn’t miss out because of my allergies. Honestly, 10/10 isn’t praise enough - so ‘thank you’ Hickory’s Wrexham.”
