The family run Old Hickory House restaurants have been an Atlanta institution for more than 60 years with 4 family members operating their stores in Atlanta before closing and retiring. The old Forrest Park location was the one who had a scene in the movie “Smokey & The Bandit” filmed in 1977. This scene at the Old Hickory House had Jackie Gleason and Burt Reynolds in it. Gleason ordered a Diablo

sandwich which we now serve at our location in Tucker, Georgia. Elvis Presley was another celebrity among other’s who frequented the Old Hickory House’s in the Atlanta area. The Tucker location that opened in 1974 is the only Old Hickory House standing. Come join us and “Put Some South In Your Mouth!”

We have now been in business for over 70 years.

Old Hickory House in Tucker is built for people who want a real plate of food, not a garnish contest. Thick Brunswick stew, big BBQ pork plates, ribs, fried chicken, and that full vegetable plate keep it firmly in “meat and three” territory. If this looks like your kind of spot, hit share and tag the friend or family member you’d drag here on a Sunday.

The brunswick stew and hickory-smoked barbecue you'll find at the Old Hickory House in Tucker, Georgia is some of the most delicious you'll find across the Peach State! Serving the community since 1953, this longtime local spot has built its name on simple, wood-smoked barbecue done the right way. Plates come loaded with chopped pork, ribs, and chicken, all cooked low and slow over real hickory for that deep, smoky flavor you can’t miss. Their Brunswick stew is a must, made the old-school way and packed with rich, hearty taste in every bite. Breakfast is just as popular here, with hot biscuits, eggs, and slices of country ham cooked fresh on the griddle each morning. The dining room keeps things simple and down to earth, but the food is what stands out. Big portions, bold flavor, and years of steady cooking have made this Tucker favorite a place people keep coming back to.
