Ribs, Chicken and More: Exploring the Classics of a BBQ Menu

There’s a reason certain BBQ dishes never go out of style. When you’re hungry for something smoky, savory, and seriously satisfying, a plate of ribs, tender chicken, or slow-smoked meat rarely disappoints. The best classic BBQ dishes don’t need complicated ingredients or trendy twists. They rely on good meat, real smoke, and time.

That philosophy has been at the heart of Hick’ry Pit for generations, where BBQ remains a major part of the menu.

Ribs Are Classic for a Reason

Ask someone to name a BBQ favorite, and ribs will probably come up quickly. Hick’ry Pit takes that classic seriously, offering both original-cut and St. Louis-cut ribs.

Guests can choose a junior portion, a feature serving, or go all in with a full slab. Whether you’re grabbing dinner after work or meeting friends for a hearty meal, ribs deliver the smoky, hands-on experience people expect from a traditional BBQ restaurant.

And yes, there are plenty of ribs to choose from. Sometimes, that’s exactly the point.

Chicken With Plenty of Smoke

Chicken might be one of the most familiar meats on a BBQ menu, but the preparation makes all the difference.

Hick’ry Pit’s wood-smoked chicken is seasoned and smoked until it’s packed with savory flavor. Guests can order half or a whole chicken, making it an easy choice whether you’re dining solo or sharing around the table.

Tri-Tip, Ham and Turkey

Prefer sliced meats? Hick’ry Pit offers wood-smoked tri-tip, ham, and turkey, each bringing its own flavor and texture to the plate.

Tri-tip is especially worth a look because guests can have it cooked to their liking. Ham offers a rich, savory option, while smoked turkey provides a leaner choice with that signature touch of wood smoke.

The result is a selection that gives traditional BBQ fans plenty of reasons to try something beyond ribs.

Pulled Pork, Sausage and More

A proper BBQ menu should give diners options, and Hick’ry Pit doesn’t stop at the usual suspects. Pulled pork, pork spare ribs, Western sausage, prawns, and more round out the selection.

Not sure which meat to pick? That’s where the combo platters come in. Choose two meats or three meats and pair them with two sides for a meal that lets you sample several favorites in one sitting.

What Makes Hick’ry Pit’s BBQ Stand Out?

The answer starts with the smoke. Hick’ry Pit uses real wood rather than gas or propane, giving its meats the deep, authentic flavor associated with traditional BBQ.

Every BBQ selection comes with one side and either red BBQ sauce or original brown gravy, with extra sauce available for those who like a little more on the plate. BBQ is ready from 10 AM, so the smokehouse is ready when the craving strikes.
