Hotel Hickman

Beef brisket was good. Chicken was so dry we could barely swallow it and ended up throwing it away. Corned bread was dry and burnt. BBQ sauce tasted like straight vinegar. Boxed Mac-n-cheese. The cobbler wasn’t great either. Oh boy, we had high hopes because of other reviews but we were left wanting. The staff was super nice. Sorry guys, we won’t be back.

I had a pulled pork sandwich with beans, peach cobbler, and a drink for $14. Well worth the money as the meal was delicious and the atmosphere of downtown Dexter was pleasant. Perfect place for some BBQ and hang out with some friends. They also have a selection of BBQ sauces for sale which I will probably go back and try.

All I gotta say is WOOOWWW!!! That was the best brisket I've ever had!! Seriously. I absolutely love brisket and I'm a tough critic when it comes to it, but this blew me away! The old school aesthetic, the way the whole place is set up, is a total win for me. From the service, to price, to taste, everything about Hotel Hickman is amazing. We got the brisket and pulled chicken sandwich with mac and cheese, baked beans, and coleslaw. Their bbq sauces were so good, I had to get more! The simplicity of just meat and bread is unbeatable, especially when the meat tastes that good, you don't need anything else. Definitely stop by for some good food when in the area. Highly recommend.
