Hickory Tavern - Huntersville

Excellent Lunch Atmosphere was great. We ordered the Fried Cheese Mozzarella sticks yummy with a wonderful dipping sauce. Meals were Fish Chips Good, and a Reuben Sandwich with Fries. The Reuben was spot on. Highly recommended. Great Server (Lois). Hospitality was great. Nice new interior after some recent remodeling.

We had family visiting us and not enough time to cook. We had not been to this location before we arrived probably around 6:30 PM. It was not busy. There were maybe five tables with people at them one or zero people at the bar. Bottom line, the food was OK. Our server was very sweet. The bartender was horrible had no idea how to make a martini to call her. A bartender is an insult to bartenders. Why she would’ve been hired as a sign that they couldn’t get anyone else breathing. My family asked for martinis with one ingredient and they came with 4. I will certainly never come back here and I can see why it wasn’t busy. The two people at the hostess stand were very nice and welcoming a young man open the door for us. I’m both entering and exiting, which was very nice. The salad I ordered was a good quality although it seems they have eliminated the spicy southwest dressing that used to make me want to go there at other locations.

Stopped in tonight for dinner. Very slow compared to what I thought I’d find. Service was pretty good and the food was exceptional. Especially considering what they had before the renovations. If you want the best bar food come to this location. The menu is way better than the competition and other hickory tavern locations! The one thing I would offer to improve would be for the managers to be present and interact with the customers. I did not see a single manager during my entire visit. Staff was friendly and the chef was nice enough to deliver my chicken dish and talk about the new menu improvements. I’ll be back soon to try more new dishes.

While I had not visited the restaurant prior to the renovations, my first experience the other day was quite pleasant. Management and our male server were very friendly and personable! It's so tough these days to find good customer service in the food and service industry but here, the service was exceptional! The seating was very unique. Loved that there was a big high top surfboard shaped table for what looks like a larger party. The food was delicious! I highly recommend the seared tuna, the Reuben (fresh, thin sliced piece of meat aplenty! and the NY style cheesecake. For those who are interested, there are a ton of beer options on tap. I can definitely see myself coming back to this place again for lunch or dinner!

New look inside and menu has been updated. Great experience! The new Crispy Mozzarella app and Smokehouse burger is my new favorite!
