It is curious at this McDonald's that the parking lot is full when there is nobody in the dining…read moreroom. How is this possible? Are there commuters using this lot as a parking drop off and then leaving their car all day? Also, McDonald's has started a trend where there is no place for parking for dining room customers. At this very location I found myself having to cross the drive-through lane to get into the building...... That's how bad the parking space was and I refuse to do that anymore . I guess I will park in one of the spots....,. I'm not supposed to just for my own safety.

Milk shakes, banana splits, ice creams, are all excellent and you can't go wrong. Don't be in a hurry, good stuff is always worth waiting for.

There are a few outside picnic tables if you want to eat there but if you call your order in, you can utilize their drive through and drive away with your picnic!

The food is good (my kids love the foot long hot…read moredogs) and there is a good variety of foods that you don't usually find at a fast food place. The service is usually pretty fast and friendly. We go there often and will continue to visit when the urge for a great hot dog arises :)

They have so many options for food that are normally not available for people with allergies. I couldn't decide on one thing so I ordered several things. For starters, the chicken sandwich was huge. It was perfectly fried and very crispy. The bun held together and didn't fall apart. If you are gluten free, you know this is hard to find. I would say I only ate about 1/3 of the sandwich, it was so large. I also ordered the fried okra which were very crispy and the coating was light and flavorful. It's one on my favorite things to order here and a can't miss if you love fried okra. The next favorite was hush puppies. They reminded me of the hush puppies I used to eat growing up and have missed dearly. The prefect combination of sweet and crunchy. And i couldn't leave without trying the fried pickles. The owner, Lisa, and I were speaking about all the options and I told her how much I love having all these options. She included a small side of spicy pickles for me to try and they were even better than the regular. Not overly spicy and a great combination with breading and ranch dressing. I can't wait to return to try the fried jalapeños and the brisket. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. The prices are amazing. I ordered all of the food (6 different things) and a drink for $26. It was way more than I could eat but I wanted to try it all. The atmosphere is casual and the booths are cafeteria style for a very comfortable, southern experience.

Almost made the opening of the one in Marietta GA when we went down to visit my Son and his family but missed the opening by a couple of day. Tried the one in Hickory which was one of the first to open in the area. Had a line but traffic moved at a good pace. Ordered the Double Meat Whataburger and I must say that it was very good although I prefer my Onions sliced and not chopped. Meat patties were cooked very well and were flavorful. Tomatoes and lettuce were fresh and not wilted. The Combo came with fries and a drink. Fries were crisp and properly salted. Most burger chains in the area skimp on the salt. All in all, very satisfied and will definatly come agin.

What do you expect? So worth the wait, we got there before the lunch rush so we were able to order and get a table. It took about 20 minutes to get our food but worth every second. The Sweet and Spicy Burger missed me as much as I missed it. SO. GOOD. Also, nothing beats their sweet tea. Lastly, very clean inside to have so much food traffic in there! The team was working HARD, filling everything as it emptied, making sure sauces were distributed. Great work team!! We live an hour away so it may be a little while before we're back, but we absolutely will be back.

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.
