The Hickory Pit

These AL BBQ places kill me. The tables are plastic. The chairs are plastic. They only have shredded pork butt. Service is good and they always have sweet tea, but I was hoping for some chicken or ribs. I ended up getting a baked potato. I can’t wait to go back to Cali…

I’ve been here a couple times. The pork sandwich is not bad. My first visit it was better. This go around the bun didn’t seem to be fresh and broke apart. Not a huge complaint to have to eat my sandwich with a fork. The staff is friendly.
My biggest issue is this. This is a barbecue place. I asked for extra barbecue sauce because they didn’t have it on the table like most other barbecue restaurants. I was given a very small plastic sauce cup and charged $ 0.79 for it. I mean really… It’s not much money but IMHO way over priced for such a small amount of extra sauce.
Will I go again? Sure not like there are many other places to choose from to eat while visiting Elba, AL. Next time I will just get ketchup and hopefully they don’t charge for that.

I’ve had the ribs, hamburger steak, and bbq sandwich. All were good. Service is good as well.
