More tables had trays and dishes on them than people. There wasn't many people sitting, a lot of staff around, but no tables getting bused. Not sure what changed, but isn't the same since I been here last summer.

It is located in Downtown Hickory so there are lots of things to do nearby. There is ample seating inside and outside and I found the service to be very friendly. The ambiance was rather quiet when I arrived on a Friday afternoon. I got the BEC and Fried Green Tomatoes. The BEC was filling! The biscuit was in the shape of a square so it was a bit bigger than usual breakfast biscuits. The bacon, egg, and cheese were not too salty together, but I think I would have liked it to taste a bit saltier. I liked the taste of the Fried Green Tomatoes, but they were lackluster in color... a bit pale and not crunchy, but the sauce it came with added more flavor for sure. Overall, I had higher expectations based on reviews but I would probably come back to try their other biscuits, particularly the chicken biscuits. I think I would rate it a 3.5/5 stars if I could.

We ordered food last week for carry out off the menu posted on their site. When we picked up our…read moreorder, what we were charged was pretty much double what was posted online. What should have been a $35 order was almost $70! I'm not sure a 6oz burger and measly pub chips from anywhere is worth $20. Not to mention, the burger was overcooked and dry, and the ranch provided was so watered down it was as runny as water and flavorless. I realize times are tough and price increases are to be expected, but double?? Menus/prices online should be immediately updated to reflect accurate prices (not all surprises are good), and your product really should remain quality. And then to ask if we'd like to leave a tip, ridiculous! Extremely disappointed.

This is a fabulous all-around bbq restaurant that not only serves the ubiquitous Carolina pulled…read morepork, but brisket, chicken and ribs as well. The place is spotless, inside and out, and all the workers are super friendly and helpful. Order at the counter, take a number, grab your drinks, and sit. A waitress will bring your food and bus your dishes. We've tried a bunch of things, all so delicious. Chicken and pulled pork are so juicy and tender. The baby back ribs are slightly sticky, and fall off the bone with more meat than you usually see on them. The best, IMO, is the jalapeño cheddar sausage. Not very spicy (4 yo granddaughter loves it!) but a good strong jalapeño flavor with plenty of cheese. Lots of side dishes. The best is their baked mac & cheese. Their best sauce is the Carolina White. Their Carolina Mustard is good, but a wee bit on the sweet side. Today, I tried the Loaded Bbq Baker with pulled pork (see pic). I had read that it was large, but what was served to me was humongous. They literally took the biggest potato and added a 1/2 potato onto the end. It has butter, sour cream, cheese, real crispy bacon bits and green onions, topped with pulled pork and a side of BBQ sauce of your choice. I could barely eat half. It was delicious and everything I wanted and I got to take half home for dinner tonight. My grandson had (not pictured sorry) the mac & cheese bowl topped with pulled pork. I will definitely order that next time. I love their mac and it's more of a suitable portion. Lol I do wish we lived closer so we could eat here more often. It is definitely with the drive.

You can't go wrong with any of it. The vibe inside is so relaxed. They have tons and I do mean tons of beers on tap as well. Whether you want to hang out with friends or have a dinner with a drink, this is it! The dark walls and slow music they play really bring the tone down and let you relax. Even though it's got a decent size bar, it's not overly loud. You could definitely bring your family earlier in the day and enjoy good food together. The service is outstanding and the guy that runs the food out seems like he knows everyone in the building. We had a very nice waitress that hustled throughout the room getting orders with the quickness. Even as busy as it was there never seemed to be a table or patron neglected. Anyone near downtown Hickory should make this a regular place and those out of towners looking for something comfortable with a different twist like tofu shawarma would love this restaurant.
