Hickory's Smokehouse Shrewsbury

Head down to Victoria Quay and you'll find yourself in proper smokehouse territory. Hickory's does the whole American BBQ thing without the pretence—thick-cut brisket that's been smoked low and slow, fall-apart ribs, and pulled pork that justifies every calorie. The sides aren't an afterthought either; proper mac and cheese, burnt ends, and cornbread that'll make you wonder why every restaurant doesn't do this. It's the kind of place where you come hungry and leave satisfied, messier for it, and already planning your next visit.
