"A long-standing essential in Pulaski, Tennessee, Hickory House breathed new life when owners Jonathan and Jackie Perry took over in 2014 and upped the ante for quality by offering fall-off-the-bone beef ribs, pulled pork, brisket, and some of the best Certified Angus Beef steaks in Tennessee. Weathering a pandemic by shifting the model from its former buffet heyday and adding a full bar, the Perry family shows the staying power of a tried-and-true local favorite by pivoting in the toughest of times for the restaurant industry." - Delia Jo Ramsey
