Sadly, yes, we say VERY sadly, Hickory Bill closed up shop last winter… in it’s place please find a new Brick-oven Pizza place i haven’t tried yet. Want to write a review? just lemme know…
Okay, BarbeQue up north here is pretty hard to come by. especially GOOD barbeque… Hickory Bill has been makin’ brisket and pork butt and ribs here in town for five years, before that in the surrounding area. One of the Gutbucket guys had him cater his wedding even! the spicy and regular sauce is fantastic, and the potato salad is great, and you can get everything from full plates to sandwiches. And Bill, well, he’s the one who will be cooking for you and serving you. Just don’t go and get your own soda out of the fridge! like you would in new york. i did that the first time i visited. Big Mistake. hospitality quotient is high…
See the North Adams Map for location

When I lived in North Adams, this was the place I went to. His food was amazing! I never had smoked BBQ before, and he hooked me!
In his honor, I now have a smoker and have perfected the art of Pork and Brisket!
Long live the memory of HB’s!!!
