Best Delta Tamales Anywhere!. We will drive 90 miles to Clarksdale to get dozens of Hick's hot tamales! They are handmade right there in the restaurant and are still made in corn husks. Call ahead to place a big order as they have to get them ready. They even ship their tamales! For a true taste of Mississippi Delta regional food...you gotta go to Hick's.
When you get tired of the tourist traps .... ... try some tamales at Hicks. They are the real deal. Good enough for the President of the US when he came to C'dale. You won't find any better tamales anywhere else in Coahoma County.
Oh man - can’t say how awesome this place was. Persist in trying to get the nice man to open the door or window for you and be rewarded with the best tamales I’ve ever had. The sides were also outstanding, especially the slaw.
My wife love this place these tamales are to her liking
I made a special trip to try there rib tip plate. To find out that they sold out doing Lunch time and none would be available til the next day.Will try crossing the bridge again soon,so I can finally try there famous They Tamales are delicious, it's worth the drive to cross the MS.&AR. Bridge to get some.
Never had tamales before - they were awesome as well has a chili topping (I think) - after we were told how to eat them! BBQ was also real good. No other restaurants were open on July 4th 2017 (other than fast foods) and we saw the drive thru and thought we would try it. The owner told us to come on in (even thought they had just closed), sit down and look over the menu - no hurry, just TONS of hospitality. We loved it. Thanks for making our 30th anniversary special!!
We stopped not knowing they are closed on Mondays! Pulled to drive thru and was greeted by Mr. Hicks. He informed us that they were closed but what did we want. Told him tamales and that we were from Little Rock AR. How many he asked? Four dozens! Oh we can take care of that for you with a big pleasant smile. Took care of us in timely fashion. Got them and he gave us his business card and told us he could have them delivered to our front door or anywhere in the USA anytime! We will definitely be returning! Thanks Mr. Hicks!!!
I go quite often to get rib tips. I don't care that much for sauce, so I get sauce on the side. The tips are very flavorful and moist and you get a good amount for what you pay for. Also you can get them in small, medium, large, and large, unlike alot of places. Mr. Hicks and one of the young men who works there, Nautica, offer great customer service. I have never had an issue there.
These are some of the best tamales and burgers I've had in some time. Real casual, low-keyed, but still professional
Mr. Hicks is the best and his food is awesome! Make sure you try the tamales and the chopped shoulder sandwich.
