Hickory - München

Visited this place with a friend in juli 2020. eating is pretty good, but nothing special. But! I would recommend to the owner this place to take a look at the cleanliness. the dust layer on the bar on my eye level is simple. more unacceptable gott that has corrupted the entire impression of the place (see the picture.) I am not a person who would ever complain or leave a negative assessment. but in this case it is a must.

We had the normal ribs and the Korean ribs. the normal ribs were a bit boring and the sauce was much too sweet. felt like it was a mixture of ketchup sugar and tabasco. so not really so pleasant. the Korean ribs were really...nice great taste! I can see how they try to offer good services and eat. but it's just not good enough. it is only standard food, especially. 20 years ago it could have been good enough. but in these days they have so many culinary possibilities in the mouth that we do not come back.

We had excellent ripening tasteful and delicate! also excellent cokslawe and salat. and the chocolate dessert-Yummy! great atmosphere, friendly service. what could be improved, the hot ribs were not really hot, the ribeye was average and the chili con carne too. European tex mex style. So they go there for the ribs and enjoy them.

Having been intrigued by the concept we made a reservation at this rather small restaurant. The first order of drinks came quickly, and then the service became very inattentive. The chicken wings for starters were good but nothing special. Then we had almost all varieties...of the spare ribs of which the calssic version was rather bland, and the flaming hot ones, supposed to be the hottest in town, were just mildly spicy. Whilst the portions of the spare ribs were on the small side, the Korean pork was not more than a starter portion. Overall, poor service, small portions, not good value for money.

Medium sized place quite a bit out of town at a busy junction. Booking advisable. Not late night opening hours. Arrived at 8:30 pm but they had already run out of ribs. We were told that if we had phoned earlier that evening, they would...have made sure that more ribs would be available and put some on the side for us. Good to know for the future but I felt a bit grumpy as the choice of food was quite restricted without the ribs. Ordered their Korean mixed grill and chicken wings. Pleasantly surprised by the marinated meats which had a nice smoked flavour to it. So we definitely would like to try their ribs in future. Portion size is a tiny bit on the small side. With a name like Hickory you would expect a Tex-Mex restaurant but Hickory just has the average feel of a restaurant in Munich. We liked the mix of country and rock music which was played at a reasonable volume and you could still have good chat/talk with everyone. Hickory serves HB beer and also stock their seasonal beer. Winterzwickl and the summer beer are great seasonal beers. It a medium place and a bit understaffed. Even though the service was friendly, it sometimes took a bit longer to order another round of drinks. So no fake Tex Mex feel but convincing customers with their marinades.
