Editorial Review for Hickory Street Bar & Grill – by Citysearch Editors

In Short
This restaurant is decorated with photos of old downtown Austin and the usual array of country knickknacks. You can eat outside on the patio or sit inside cheek-by-jowl with the student and business crowds that have frequented this eatery for two decades. The buffets consist of salad, soup, potato, bread and sundae bars. While that's the main focus, you can also order greasy cheeseburgers, larger-than-life sandwiches and steak.

We went to Hickory Street Bar and Grill last night and were impressed by the outside seating but the inside left a bit to be desired. The place was not very busy (probably 25% full) yet the food bars were in desperate need of attention and the floors were in definite need of a broom. The food, on the other hand, was very good and there were large portions. The price is good for the amount of food you get. We will go back, but I hope a rep from HSB&G reads this and calls his cleaning crew:)

Pros: Good and plenty food

Cons: place needs to be cleaned more often

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I go here all the time and am never dissatisfied with the service or the food. Nice and cozy covered outdoor patio for all weather dining and indoor dinning area with a quaint bar. $2.00 and $3.00 pints all the time. Great value for dropping in for 1 beer or a night of boozing. I like the hamburgers and the hot wings. Excellent downtown location.

Pros: High quality food, cold beer, reasonable prices, all served from friendly staff

Cons: Could have more appetizers
