Why Hickory House why was this picked
We point to the Reynoldsburg original after the Gahanna Officenter location closed: family-owned since 1979, with ribs that still own the classic Columbus sticky-sweet lane. The room is old-school supper club more than craft trailer, and that is why east-side families keep it. It suits Reynoldsburg nights when you want a rib platter with decades behind it.
- Reynoldsburg original still open and smoking
- Classic sticky ribs Columbus grew up on
- Family-owned since the late seventies
