Review of Hickory Park

—2021 Review— Hickory Park truly is a staple of Ames when visiting my alma matter. Hickory Park has a dedicated gluten free menu that includes all meats, all sauces, and most sides such as BBQ beans, corn, and mashed potatoes. There is also Udi’s bread and Blue Bunny ice cream. 10/10 recommend!!

—2017 Review— I eat at Hickory Park quite often with family & friends. I have had chicken, ribs, beef, sausage, Saucy Southerner on an Udi's bun, and BBQ beans. Both sauces are gluten free now too. A manager assures me that my food will be safe from gluten by coming to my table after I order to review everything. I also have ordered chocolate mint ice cream (Blue Bunny brand). I have Celiac Disease and have never gotten sick after eating at Hickory Park. I would definitely recommend eating BBQ at Hickory Park.
