Hickory's Smokehouse brings authentic American BBQ to Derby's Swarkestone Road, with a focus on slow-smoked meats and bold flavours. The half racks of ribs are tender and expertly glazed, while the chicken tacos balance fresh ingredients with well-balanced seasoning. Beyond the food, the restaurant thrives on attentive service and a lively atmosphere centred around open kitchen cooking.
Why we think it's family friendly
What stands out here is the genuine effort to accommodate all diners, they've clearly thought through what families need, from highchairs for little ones to a dedicated kids' menu, and the space is buggy-accessible so you can bring the pram in without fuss. They're serious about dietary requirements too, offering plenty of gluten-free options alongside the main menu. Weekend brunch, dog-friendly seating, and genuinely warm staff who treat families as valued customers rather than an afterthought makes this feel like a place where you can actually relax and enjoy your meal.
