Copper Penny Grill in Hickory was a great first experience, and we will definitely be back. The…read morefood, drinks, atmosphere, and service all exceeded our expectations. We ordered the Cedar Plank Salmon, and the bourbon bacon glaze was outstanding. We also tried the Buffalo Chicken Flatbread, which had the perfect balance of cool ranch flavor and just the right amount of spice. For drinks, we enjoyed the Bananas Foster Old Fashioned, Maple Old Fashioned, and the Gummy Flight. Each one was well-crafted and delicious. One of the highlights of this location is the waterfront setting. We requested outdoor seating and were seated on the upper-level deck overlooking the water. There was live music at the lower-level outdoor bar on Saturday night, and we could still enjoy the music from our table upstairs while taking in the view. We were seated quickly, and every staff member we interacted with was friendly, attentive, and helpful. Although Copper Penny Grill has multiple locations, the Hickory location's waterfront atmosphere makes it especially memorable. If you're looking for great food, creative cocktails, live music, beautiful views, and excellent service, Copper Penny Grill in Hickory is well worth a visit. We look forward to returning and trying more of the menu.

Immediately were seated and within 2min had drinks and chips/salsa. Ruby's could have said there was a large bus on it's way in, I don't guess they thought the people waiting were hungry

Bland food, flies and Christian Rock…read more I wanted to try Dairi-o for a while. Well, now I know. The Jalapeño Chicken Salad has more jalapeños than chicken, yet is surprisingly tasteless. The ranch dressing is more tasteless goo. Ambiance? Dozens of flies and Christian rock.
