Reviews for The Original Hick'ry Pit in Walnut Creek, CA
Don?t order the Ribs. This restaurant which was famous for the Rips has failed . I have been going to the Walnut Creek location... for 50 years traveling from Pleasanton. I have been to all 5 locations but WC has made changes under new management in thepreparation of their Ribs that leave them tasteless over cooked and mushy. They fall off the bone and have lost there greattaste. I don?t like being served on a metal cookie sheet another change by the new manager it just doesn?t fell sanitary like anice porcelain plate If you like the complimentary bake beans and corn that?s gone unless you want to pay extra. Come to findout they used to offer rolls and butter , I don?t remember when that stopped . They claim the new process is much healthier sohave they been serving unhealthy food all these years . Tom and his wife made this restaurant famous sorry it?s going down hill Read more
The place smells great but the service was poor. Our waitress didn't start being friendly till she apparently messed up our... order. My hamburger steak tasted incredibly boring. I'd have been better off just getting a hamburger, but the french fries thatI didn't order tasted totally yummy. I'd give an extra star ???? if the staff were friendly. Read more
The restaurant seems dated. I guess the original decor. Food here is really good though. Servings are generous and wait times... were a bit longer than normal. We ordered the tri tip and the St. Louis ribs. Very tender and juicy. Side orders were huge! Myson ordered the Southwestern Chicken Salad. That was a huge serving! We had baked beans, coleslaw and potato salad. Stuffed tothe brim! Read more
Old fashioned restaurant in downtown Walnut Creek. No frills, just good food and service. We had ribs with coleslaw and beans... that were excellent and a cup of clam chowder. For breakfast they have a good selection of eggs dishes. We didn't have pie butthey look great. Plenty of parking spaces up front. Read more
My experience here was Truly amazing. In this day and age where you pay more and get less, this is Worth Every Dollar. I... received a large Delicious portion. The French Roast Coffee was Fantastic. I would Highly Highly Recommend this Restaurant. Ithink my Server was Lauren and she was Great Read more
The service is friendly and attentive here, but the food really isn?t terrific. My steak was very fatty and rubbery and my baked... potato tasted pretty old. I just wasn?t impressed with the quality of food this time???? Read more
The place has great customer service which were really did appreciate. Kudos to Alejandra C. who basically earned the... rating. Brunch wise I 100% in support of the previous 3?? review that you would not miss it if you skip it. Let?s start from thebeginning: inside dining is traditional American attire. Outside seating is relatively cool in the shade on the hot April Sundaywith flowers coloring the South Main views. Great service with smiles and menu knowledge with recommendations. Went simple withMeat Lovers Omelette and Country Sausage and Eggs + 2 coffees. Food came relatively fast however absolutely basic. Cheesyomelette with ham and bacon. Slightly over dried sausage was left in the plate as well. Coffee was nice (medium to light roastregular and decaf) with in time refill and we thank you for that. Would give this place another try to check their authenticpork ribs hoping for the better. Read more
The best American comfort food I have had so far. We ordered meat lovers omelette and a medium rare 16oz New Yorker. The... omelette is great, hash brown not too salty. The steak is juicy, but less marble than I expected. The sides are GREAT (salad andbaked potato). The staff are all friendly and polite. The restaurant is baby friendly. I would definitely recommend here toanyone who suddenly has a hunger for American comfort food Read more
