Smells delecious, average food

by senbonzakurakageyoshi

The chicken and ribs were just about average. But when you get your food, you just get really happy because the smell was heavenly. Then once you bite into your food, a little part of you just dies because it smelled so much better than it tastes. The chicken and ribs were both a little on the dry side, but not so much so that it gave you difficulty chewing and swallowing.

On a more positive note, the restaurant is a little hidden, and is quieter than most restaurants. You can whisper across the table and the person on the other side can hear you just fine. Our server was pretty nice as well, she recommended a pretty average piece of cake. The decor was pretty nice, its a cozy, tidy restaurant, with nice servers and its an alright date spot, if your significant other is into their meats. The prices wasn't unreasonable, since their proportions were pretty big. Also, their BBQ sauce is pretty good with fries too.

When you do go there, don't be afraid to park in the fee lot. If you tell them you're going to Hutch Restaurant, they don't charge you. Oh and if you like to be outside, you can ask to be seated in their porch, since there isn't heavy traffic, its not too bad to be outside on a cool night.

  • Pros: Parking, service, decor
  • Cons: Food a little dry

Unique flavored BBQ, don't expect KC Masterpiece!

by lorilynn55

I've been going there since the 1950's. My parents remember it as the Twizzle Twig Tea Room. As Hutch's, they have always been known for their BBQ meats and sandwiches. The used to have the best french fries until several owners ago. They are still ok, but were better. The cole slaw is the best in the world. The BBQ sauce is different from any I've ever had and there is no comparison so don't even try. Love it or hate it. I love it. It hasn't changed through the years and their BBQ beef sandwiches are still the best anywhere around and I always as for extra sauce. The meat is quite tender and the buns soft. This place used to be packed on weekends, but when the new owners closed down the patio and made a large open room of it, it lost alot of the charm. We used to love to sit outside, it was lovely. The interior has changed little, the staff not as attentive as the ladies back in the 60's, but for todays standards, the are still good and the food can't be beat. Go in with a clear mind and go in hungry!

  • Pros: Great food, fun atmosphere, good service
  • Cons: Parking can be a challenge at times, but not impossible.
