Our Story

Burgers done properly.

Hickory Joe's started with a simple idea — take the food everyone loves and make it better.

Better burgers made with our own secret beef blend. Real meats smoked in-house. Fresh Gozo potatoes cut into fries. Mac'n'Cheese made with real cheese. Chicken nuggets made from whole chicken breast. Sauces created in our kitchen.

We ferment our own sauerkraut. We render our own beef tallow. We make smoked bone marrow butter. We obsess over the small details most people never see.

No shortcuts.

Every burger is built with the same mindset — quality ingredients, proper techniques, and big flavour.

From one food truck to three locations, we've grown — but the idea has never changed.

Simple food. Done properly.

Fries done properly

Not from a bag. Never.

Fresh Gozo potatoes cut in-house every morning, blanched, then fried in beef tallow we render ourselves. Crisp shell, fluffy centre — the way a chip is supposed to taste.

Good to Know

How it works.

Quick answers to the questions we get on WhatsApp every week.

How do I pay?

Cash or Revolut on delivery. Please have the exact amount ready if you're paying cash.

How do I reheat it?

Every pack ships vacuum-sealed with reheating instructions inside. Most things do well at 160°C in the oven for about 20 minutes — but check the card, it's pack-specific.

What if something's wrong?

Email us at hello@hickory-joes.com within 24 hours of delivery. We'll either replace it on the next run or refund you. No drama.

Can I pick up instead?

Yes — pick "Pickup" at checkout and collect from any of our three spots during opening hours. No delivery fee.

How long does the meat keep?

Sealed and refrigerated, three to five days. Frozen, about a month. Open it when you're ready to eat — once opened, finish within 24 hours.

Where do you deliver?

Across Malta and Gozo. Delivery is free on orders over €80 — otherwise pick "Pickup" at checkout and collect from any of our three spots at no extra cost.

The mac and cheese — best I've had outside of the US. The smoked meat spring rolls, very yummy sauce.
