I've walked past Hickory's Smokehouse in West Kirby so many times, and each time, it looks buzzing and filled with plenty of atmosphere.
The iconic smokehouse is described as an 'American BBQ joint serving hickory-smoked and grilled meat' along with shakes, US beers and kids' food. My dad is a big lover of meaty dishes, so I thought it was only apt that we took a trip there for his birthday meal.
Located on Village Road, the restaurant has a lovely outside dining area which is perfect for milkshakes in the sunshine. As soon as I stepped foot in the restaurant, I was blown away by how busy it was for a Monday night.
