What Natalie Estrada doesn't like about Hecky's:
Ribs were really dry tough and not a lot of meat for $40, the bits I did eat were tasty though they make great Mac and cheese the portions are a bit small. The Peach cobbler was like slimly? The crust was wet Was not expecting that. View all feedback. What User likes about Hecky's:
Fast and convenient takeout, very reasonably priced, generous portions (too generous, maybe... a single combo item fed two of us and we were stuffed). Only wish they had an eat-in option for when I'm on my bike and don't have the space or means to carry food home, but no one minds if you take your food across to the lawn across the street, and they'd probably let you eat at the curb outside the shop too.

On this occasion, Hecky's rib tips were delicious! However, some of the tips did not have any sauce on them. That was disappointing. The sauce does make a diffe...
