5/19/2023 0 Comments New country music bar hickory ncIf you’re looking to sit at tables there are only 5 or so tables outside which was fine for us because we knew that going there but just letting others know it’s just a bar on the inside. I have two stars because the crab legs weren’t bad and the waitress was good at keeping them coming. My 8 year old came up to me and said it was horrible and several others agreed. Give up on whoever is making the Mac and cheese and buy velveeta in a box (it’s way better). You pay $40 for a meal or $65 for crab legs but can’t pick what sides you want, very unpleasant. Please to the owner or manager of this place be a little more open with your menu. Food other than the crab legs was very bland. This is very bad from several angles, please know how to cook and don’t cut into fish or steak to get it to the right temp. When his food came the tuna was cut several times and was a very thin tiny piece of tuna and was almost raw. My 19 year old son ordered catch of the day(sword fish) to then be told they’re now out of sword fish (big disappointment) so she offers tuna and asks how he wants it cooked, medium well he chose. They did take the steaks back and got to order something else. Two people got steak and it was the worst tasting steak I’ve ever tasted, I tried a bite and spit it out, very sour bitter tasting like it was bad or something, still not sure how it could taste like that. You would think as much as we were paying there would be bread or hush puppies or something. Now for the not so good, the menu is very limited and expensive. Service was good, continuously refilling drinks and crab legs. Just absolutely horrible.įirst I’ll start with the good. I would never spend money in an establishment ran by such a hateful, arrogant manager that would turn away a 10 year old girls basketball team for no good reason. Nevertheless we left because who wants to spend money and eat where someone doesn’t want you? We went to Hickory Tavern, where we were served and treated like valuable customers. As well as tons of staff, just standing around. Meanwhile group after group of people come in and get seated that arrived after us. He said, no! I am not gonna seat you nor accommodate you regardless if you are together or separate. And we said we are all separate families just here at the same time and some are willing to sit together if that helps, we would just like to feed our kids before their next ball game. He says that they don’t allow groups of 8 or more. He then walks over and says that he is gonna have to refuse us service and will not allow his staff to seat us. The manager walks up and they whisper to each other. The hostess took all three groups info to text us when our tables were ready. We didn’t need nor request to sit together. Horrible Experience!!! We were in Hickory, NC for a youth basketball tournament this weekend. It was nice to see teamwork at a restaurant. He wasn’t the most attentive to the table but the rest of the employees made up for it by clearing dirty dishes and bringing out the food when it was ready. The only thing that was kind of weird/annoying was that our server was apparently also the bartender. I can’t wait to try all the other meals on the menu and their selection of wines. Was wonderful to have with the savory chicken. Maybe a minute less on one side and a minute longer on the other. Not greasy and the calamari wasn’t over cooked and rubbery. Fried food is honestly hard to make perfect - but this place got it right. Upon going inside its clean and the decor is so nice. Easy to find and right off the main road.
