Ellenton, Florida · Since 1984
HickoryHollow
Eastern Carolina style bar-b-que. Vinegar mopped, hickory smoked, low and slow, same pit since 1984.
On the pit
Split hickory. Real bark. Slow smoke.
Eastern North Carolina style, vinegar based. The logs get split, stacked, and burned down to coals, then the meat sits low and slow until the bark sets and the smoke ring shows. Traditional tomato based sauce is on the table too, if that is your side of the fence.

About this preview
I built this for Hickory Hollow Bar-B-Que. Here's how it becomes real.
This preview is temporary. It comes down two weeks after I first send it your way — the follow-up email has the exact date. If you want it finished, I finish it: the full site built out, the AI-visibility layer that gets Hickory Hollow Bar-B-Que into AI search answers, and 90 days of tweaks after launch.
Websites start at $1,497. Most land between $1,497 and $3,500 depending on size, and I confirm the exact number with you before any money moves.
If anything I ship is broken or incomplete, I fix it at no charge. No contracts; everything after launch is month to month.
