Hickory’s Smokehouse Hutton in Longton

Ah, you know, if you're looking for a proper smokehouse vibe right here in Preston, Hickory’s in Hutton really delivers the goods. I mean, the food is just spot on – those smoked meats are so tender and packed with flavour, and the portions are generous enough to leave you satisfied without breaking the bank too much. The atmosphere is another highlight; it's got this fun, American-inspired decor with great music that makes the whole place feel welcoming and alive. And let's not forget the clever touches for families, like the little cinema with free popcorn – it's such a nice idea that keeps the kids entertained while you enjoy your meal. On the flip side, things can get a bit slow with service when it's packed, and the menu does lean heavily towards meaty options, so it might not be ideal if you're after something lighter or more varied. Overall, though, it's a solid choice for a special night out or a casual get-together; I'd say give it a go if you fancy a taste of the States without hopping on a plane – just manage your expectations for the busier evenings.
