Hope you like crunchy rice. If not, find a new place to eat. This chipotle is not like others, it's far worse.

Absolutely horrible service. Waited 30 mins on an older that I placed an hour ago just for me to get my stuff and when I get home I notice I'm missing half my order so when I come back the manager decides not only to ignore me at the door but refuse to give me my items. I will never come back to this establishment and I will be contacting corporate with complaints read more

Chipotle Mexican Grill - Don't eat here - Mexican Near Me - Hickory, North Carolina

This location has not had chicken for over 1 month. Steak has been about the same time. Not sure why they are even open.

$20.38 for a carne Asada bowl! They do not have to worry about me ever eating here again. I can actually go to a full restaurant for cheaper. Ridiculous! Didn't even get Chips! No , I'm not interested Chipotle. read more

My fiancé and I got food poisoning after eating here last night. On top of serving contaminated food one of the workers was rude and seemed irritated to be there. We both had the honey chipotle chicken so we know that was what did it. Not worth the experience, I recommend the location in lenoir - have never had an issue with them. I will be reporting to the local health department. Absolutely unacceptable that we paid over $30 just to get violently ill. read more

On Friday 12/1/23 at 11:13 am I went to Chipotle in Hickory, NC for the first time ever with my husband on our Day Date. We wanted to go someplace where we have never gone before to eat lunch. Upon sitting down and beginning to eat, we realized the food was not even heated nor was the cheese dip and the chips were so salty that we were unable to eat them. I ate about a 1/4 of my burrito and my husband ate about 1/3 of his burrito bowl. We left most of the food. It didn't taste good. By the end of the evening we were sick as dogs! Food poisoning! Why? Why? Why? It's Sunday morning now when I am writing this. Never again! WAS NOT WORTH $44.14 I CAN TELL YOU THAT! read more

I was about to give up on this place, considering it's always cold, rice is dry. Everyone says it went down hill. but I was really in the mood for it so I thought I'd give it a try an hope for the best. And Chipotle you did not fail, I don't know what y'all did different tonight. But THIS is the chipotle I love and remember. Everything was so fresh and not stingy with the portions! I'm so pleased and I hope in the future it stays this good. Best experience and totally worth the $ read more

Chipotle Mexican Grill - Mexican Near Me - Hickory, North Carolina

if I can give 0 stars I would. Today 4/13/25 we walked in there to grab two bowls. They gave my husband little to no chicken LITERALLY NOT EVEN A FULL SCOOP, as I asked for more chicken they said they were upcharging for another scoop (THERE WAS NO CHICKEN THE FIRST TIME) then the spanish lady wanted to catch an attitude. Like why pay $30 for two bowls and the portions are literally what I can feed a child. Don't work in a food place and have an attitude let alone act like y'all cant make more food. Between hwy 70 & 321 I don't know who's worse. DONT RECOMMEND!! read more

We placed a 13 person group delivery order and half the order was wrong, not even close. Labels with the order was right but contents wrong. Also all the food was cool, not even close to warm. They refused to fix the order or offer any sort of refund. Over $300 dollar order and half had to go into the trash as some on the order had dietary restrictions and were unable to eat. read more

The food smells so good. The place looks clean enough. The staff could not care less about you, your food, or whether your food is made well. There's almost no communication between staff and customer, and when folding a burrito it is folded into a small round ball. I'm asked for them to spread the fixings along the tortilla to enhance the burrito bites and she just topped them all on top of one another. Its not a burrito. It's literally a round ball that won't be able to eat normally. This is the second time this has happened. Further I'm getting more and more annoyed with "we can't make it unless you specifically order this item online." My daughter was not able to order food and we took everything home so she could make herself dinner. I love chipotle so so much, and for this to be chipotle in Hickory is a disgrace. read more

I honestly made an account just to write a review of this chipotle. Let me start by saying, I am very difficult to bother. This is something that actually infuriated me. This chipotle is disgusting and is the biggest disappointment I've ever experienced at a restaurant. I walk into this chipotle with a friend who has never had it. I love chipotle, the ones I've been to that actually give a ****. There was lettuce all over the floor, queso that looked like vomit by the bar stools at the front, and straw wrappers galore around the fountain drinks. My friend looked at me in shock, and I was actually EMBARRASSED I suggested this place. The girl who had one job which is to give me rice, steak and beans did great (regardless of the rice being half cooked?) but the next guy had a disgusting mess of a station. Spilled corn everywhere, watery sour cream and tomatoes to mix. Not to mention, they were FROZEN. The corn was absolutely frozen. It was a horrible bite of crunch rice and frozen corn mixed with hot steak. What a cluster **** of texture, let me tell you. My friend opted out of even trying the place, but I was so hungry and I can't observe if rice is undercooked or corn is frozen by the appearance. I grew up with a Chipotle, so this was a very sad and repetitive experience here considering they keep raising the price and hire 15yr olds. Do yourself a favor, and eat rocks outside instead. read more

I ordered a quesadilla for my daughter, which has never been a problem at other locations. The girl working the register said they could only make an "adult" quesadilla if I pulled out my phone and ordered it online. I think my jaw actually hit the floor!! I settled for a kids quesadilla. Somehow ordering those in person is ok. The corn salsa she got for a side was STILL FROZEN! I love Chipotle, but this shit hole is not worthy of the name. The employees are next level lazy and do not care. read more

I have been to this location before without issue, however in my order today, both burrito bowls were incorrectly made. I returned the full order to the pick up window where I originally picked up my order so they could see for themselves. While the manager was polite, she questioned "what I meant" by the order being completely wrong. I answered that the sofritas burrito bowl was missing sofritas and the chicken burrito bowl was missing black beans and had sour cream and guacamole, which I did not ask for. She offered to re-make the order, but at that point we were tired of waiting since we had taken the order home and then driven back out to the location. To add to frustration, the manager could not issue a refund on site and I had to call customer service for the refund. I believe better customer service could have been provided. I have worked in restaurants and I have never questioned a customer who returned their order due to inaccuracy, it's an awkward enough interaction as is and I did not appreciate it. No pictures because the food was returned to the location. read more

amazing disconnect between stock price and the actual food locations. stock has been great cmg as a food source is pretty much horrible. small portions of undercooked rice and scant chicken and its ridiculously priced. today was my last visit to the hickory location. it never fails to fail read more

They didn't have any food worth eating really. What a dump and full of next generation of leaders from applatchie college. Lmao. What a joke. Just a very nasty restaurant and bad service and terrible food. Health inspector should close this location down at chain the doors. One of the employees was outside talking to there self .. the staff of around 12 people couldn't keep and food or restaurant clean. Well welcome to new generation of leadership. read more

The hickory nc location is the absolute worst chipotles on the map. bad people, tasteless chicken, tiny portions, increased prices. leadership there apparently doesnt exist. as shareholder it really pisses one off. there are a few folks working there that should remember that fat lazy and hostile is no way to advance in life. read more

Really disappointed in the food I purchased Saturday 9/30/23 in Hickory, NC. Food was ice cold. Asked for several different sauces in my bowl but my gosh one of them was so very spicy hot that the dish is inedible. Trust me, I like spicy food. Tacos cold, not a hint of warmness. usually have to peel them apart because of juices, no chance of sticking together tonight! Burrito Bowl ice cold also...can't even dip a chip in into it. Watched Chipotle commercials all day....really looking forward to my meal but it was just not good tonight. Chips tasted stale and bottom of the barrel with many broken peices. I really like the lime and salt taste of the chips when they are fresh. Not a good experience. read more

Y'all's Monday crew is a joke, mfers in there serving rations like dam are y'all scared to give somebody some rice or are they to lazy to get back there n make more. And NONE of them knew wtf they were doing, delete tht whole crew read more

This was a good location to eat. They were quick with the order but only one server was a bum but the others made up for it. They also made my bowl piping hot and full of carnita meat. For it to be lunch hour at the time they did very well read more

Looking for something not fried or on a bun, I walked into Chipotle with a hearty hunger and excited to try a great burrito. Overall, I found this location to be clean, orderly and well-staffed. There was a little confusion over ordering, which may be due to the acoustics of the industrial themed restaurant. Be sure to get all the topping you'd like as they did not have lettuce for some reason at the end of the production area. Great for a quick dinner or hot lunch. read more

Turn over here for employees and portion consistency is terrible, but this experience takes the cake for me. We used to frequently visit this location (3x a week) to order food to go and this was the first time I have ever been charged for a side of sour cream and cheese that I like to put on my $10+ bowl because they are cold ingredients and I like to wait until I get home to add them to the warm rice and meat. I was told in a harsh voice "it's policy" which I have NEVER been charged for these before and I've never seen this woman working there before. Christian was the logged in host for the register. I'm not one to make a scene in a restaurant but the inconsistency here with portions and charges needs to stop. We will not be going back! read more

I have always thought a Chipotle to be at LEAST 4 stars. I am going othave to deduct a star from this one. Some of the other reviews bashed this Chipotle because they were comparing it to Mexican food. Comparing Chipotle to authentic Mexican food is as close as taco bell is to authentic Mexican food. Chipotle is Chipotle and it is by far my favorite fast food type joint. This location is particularly stingy with their portions. At first I assumed it to be contingent on who is serving but after coming here over and over again I am positive that they are reluctant to filling your plate. I do not know how many times I have to ask for more rice, more beans, more corn, etc. There is a picture below of a very unfilled burrito bowl. Well of course it's going to be empty if you do not get rice and beans but I see his point. I'M SICK OF ASKING FOR MORE! read more

Food is standard Chipotle and tastes like any other chipotle. What irked me is that the girl whose sole job it is to roll burritos didn't even try to roll mine. By that I mean she half attempted to shove the edges into the sloppy roll. Poor technique. She never fully closed it, recognized that she had rolled it improperly, looked at it and shrugged and threw some foil on it like it was done. Don't remember her name but she had reddish-brown hair and glasses. My boyfriend had to re-roll it when we got home. It was definitely possible, and he had no trouble with it (even with no previous burrito rolling experience). The thing is that we paid for someone else to do it, and they didn't even try. I'd call that bad service. read more

they got the drink order wrong. something must not communicate the correct drink. the fellow at the window said all his communication said was that it was a fountain drink. We chose coke, but that wasnt what my wife put in her order. everything else was ok, so I give them a couple of stars for getting part of the order correct read more

I visit many Chipotle locations around the States during my travels and road work and have to give a positive review based on my lunch Thursday 8/13/20. I had both types of rice and they were both cooked well and seasoned perfectly, not too oily or salty. The staff got it right. Unfortunately, I have had many negative experiences at other Chipotle locations where they don't seem to be following the proper cooking and seasoning instructions. Unfortunately, most of the time you don't realize it until you leave and have to throw out your food. If it wasn't for my recent experience at this Chipotle, I would probably start looking for a different favorite go to fast food restaurant. Thanks Hickory Chipotle, and corporate hopefully acknowledges locations like yours keep more customers returning. read more

If you are in to over priced, over spiced Mexican food then this is the place for you. It was definitely a place I will not revisit. The cilantro is overwhelming and some other unnamed spice I can't quite put my finger on. The chips were stale and the dipping sauce was tasteless. Or that could be because to the very strong onions that almost made me unable to finish the meal, but I did because it cost so much. I will give them one thing, I would say it is healthy eating. This is all my opinion and I am a very picky eater. So.... read more

Chipotle Mexican Grill - Burrito bowl. - Mexican Near Me - Hickory, North Carolina

Employees need to pay attention to delivery drivers when they come to pick up the orders . I have went there 2 times to pick up orders . One time I stood there waiting on a order and finally when it was done one of the employees just put the order on the shelf instead of handing it to me and second time I went there I waited on an order for 20 minutes thinking that they was still working on it but it was on the other shelf at the drive thru . Orders are to be put on the shelf so that the delivery drivers wouldn't have to stand there and wait. Because our time gets wasted if we have to stand there more than 5 or 10 minutes read more

The low ratings here concerned me initially, but glad I didn't pay them attention! Restaurant was super clean, the staff was super attentive to my order and helpful. I didn't expect a 5 diamond experience, but this was definitely better than any other fast food restaurant. Great burrito and I loved the side of chips! I will definitely be back to this location soon. read more

Worst Chipotle EVER!!! First off- I ordered. The people were RUDE and not friendly. I ordered chips and the lady didn't put them in the bag then rolled her eyes when i asked for them. So I asked for a little bit of cheese and the guy put 4 pieces of cheese so i ask for more and here i have a blanket of cheese(see pictures) so i get home, pull of the blanket of cheese and see about 12 pieces of chicken. WHAT?! There is barely any at all like I paid almost 7 dollars for this!! And of those slim pieces of chicken i got I had to spit multiple out as they were fatty and inedible. read more

Stopped here while traveling with my friend who has Celiacs and asked the girl to change her gloves and the spoons and she gave such an attitude and was so rude does not really even deserve one read more

The employees were just point blank rude and didn't even listen after being told no I didn't want pico and I got it anyways.

Ordered online on 09/12/2019 @8:20pm should have checked my bowl before leaving. But of all the Chipotle's I've ever been too, I've never received a smaller bowl for $9.50 in my life. Barely any meat or brown rice. It's almost as if they ran out of brown rice and were able scrape half a spoon together. I enjoy chipotle but I feel ripped off. read more

This is by far the worst chipotle I've ever been to! They don't give you the right portions your suppose to get. I don't get it I'm paying for the stuff not you so give me what I'm paying for. If I ask for a side of guac then that means you fill the cup all the way up not half full. The salsa looked terrible. I won't be back! read more

We were excited to try this place since Chipotles in other locations seems to get great mentions on Twitter. We were so disappointed. The food was overpriced for what you get. Guacamole costs extra and so does chips & salsa. The chips are already packaged in a paper bag and they were awful..thick and stale. And our food was cold. We won't be going here again. We get better food at better prices at any of the Mexican restaurants in the area and we have leftovers to take home. read more

Chipotle Mexican Grill - Chipotle's burrito bowl...lots of empty bowl - Mexican Near Me - Hickory, North Carolina

Awful Chipotle. Horrrrrible customer service. Every other chipotle I've been too and believe me it's been a lot, doesn't charge the way these guys do. I get 2 scoops of chicken and pico de Gallo and they have to charge me $9.68 because it's considered a bowl somehow? What if I just wanted chicken w a side of pico? Charge me 2 scoops chicken and that's it!!!!! Awful never coming back to this place, awful management I highly recommend going somewhere else around here. Even Moes down the street would be much more accommodating. Really really disappointed in this chipotle wont ever come back to this one the way it's run. read more

Well this sums it up coming from the girl who rang up my food after I had to wait for for about 6 minutes. "It is not my job" another person on the line stated a temperature adjustment that needed to be made and this was her response. Food at this location was so-so. Service was not friendly, fast, or good! Management needs to fix this ASAP. read more

The first time I went here, I loved it! Then I came back and was...massively unimpressed. Everybody I went here with hated it and they would never even go back. I guess I would, but, at the price range it's at right now, compared to the food quality I would rather go to Taco Bell and get fatter for less money. read more

Great experience! Was excited to discover a Chipotle on my way to Asheville. My Mom and I decided to split a bowl which got complicated because I'm a vegetarian. The man behind the counter was so friendly and suggested we put the chicken on the side and even offered to split it for us. I was so impressed. They were very busy and he took the time to make sure everything was just the way we wanted it. My chips were also spot on with just the right amount of lime and salt. I'll definitely stop again next time I head to Asheville. read more

It was during the final hours of Christmas shopping season, and the tail-end of lunch. Many bins were nearly empty, and quite honestly, my pork was refrigerator cold. They tried to excuse it as being on my bed of lettuce and under guacamole, but since I go there nearly weekly, I know better. They did make good customer service effort to make it right, but honestly, they had a large group of employees standing in the the front area "service" line (just standing), and only one guy in the back line, trying to cook, which helps explain the empty bins. read more

This place had a bunch if empty bins! So we had to wait around for them to refill! I mean come on 300 pm . With a manager on duty get to work and stop standing around read more
