Our Story
An old butcher shop, a new chapter.
Hickory Forge opened in 2011 inside a century-old brick butcher shop on Old Mill Road. Pitmaster James Holloway and his daughter Caroline kept the original tile floors, the hand-painted ceiling, and the same stubborn belief: that a steakhouse should feel like an occasion.
Fifteen years later, we still butcher every steak in-house, still hand-pour every Old Fashioned, and still believe a good dinner is best measured in how late you stayed.

The Hickory Forge way.
Four things we obsess over — so dinner feels like an event, not an errand.
Hickory-Fired Grill
Every steak finishes over real hickory coals. It's slower. It's smokier. It's the difference you can taste from the first bite.
USDA Prime, Dry-Aged
We hand-select the top 2% of beef — then dry-age it in our own butcher's room for 21 to 28 days. The result: deep flavor, exceptional tenderness.
Serious Bourbon List
200+ American whiskeys, from rare single barrels to dusty bottles you can't find anywhere else. Our bartenders pour with stories.
Hospitality, Old School
Warm welcomes, white napkins on your lap, a manager who knows your name. The way a steakhouse used to feel — and still should.
The bourbon bar
200+ bottles. One serious bar.
From rare Kentucky single barrels to small-batch ryes and dusty bottles you won't find anywhere else — our bourbon list is a love letter to American whiskey. Ask for a flight; our bartenders will guide you through it.

"Hickory Forge is the rare steakhouse that takes both the steak and the room seriously — a warm, room-temperature classic that makes every other night out feel rushed."
Featured Press
"The ribeye crust is unreal. Cooked exactly to temperature, the herb butter is doing the lord's work — easily my favorite steak in three states."
"Drove an hour for our anniversary and would do it again next month. The tomahawk for two was a moment. Service was unbelievable."
"Took my dad here for his 70th. The team comped a slice of bourbon pecan pie with a candle. Made his whole year. We'll be back."
"Filet, creamed spinach, an Old Fashioned. That's it. That's the review. Best steakhouse experience I've had outside of New York."
