Peoria likes Hickory River Smokehouse's "down home" Texas hospitality and flavorful meats from the Smokehouse! Peoria is the largest city on the Illinois River, established in the 1600's. Peoria residents know good BBQ, often commenting on Hickory River Smokehouse's dry-rub, a blend of seasonings that quench their taste buds!
"This has to be one of the most amazing restaurants! I've been here several times and have never been disappointed with the food or the service! I recommend that everyone should try this place!!"
(Wendy Hauk-Glisan)"We love Hickory River. Just did a taste testing and hired them to cater our daughter's wedding reception."
