One of the few barbecue eateries in the Hudson Valley and Catskills, Hickory restaurant offers from its 500-pound-capacity smoker a variety of barbecue influenced by a range of American regional styles, for both lunch and dinner. There’s St. Louis-style spare ribs, Carolina-style pulled pork, and Texas-style beef brisket—with Texas toast, of course. Any reputable barbecue joint will also offer three meats in a platter meal, and Hickory BBQ does not disappoint with the Kingston Trio: beef brisket, pulled pork, and turkey thigh.
