Had a great breakfast there. Cheese and bacon omelet was perfect. I had grits on the side and they were great, enough for 2 servings. And one of the best biscuits I ever had! read more

We decided to try some new breakfast place and didn't disappoint. Staff were super friendly and very attentive. This is a small place but nice. The food was as amazing, luckily everyone ordered something different so was able to try multiple dishes. read more

Great local spot. All of the food is high quality. The burgers and sandwiches are delicious. My wife also likes the salads.

Pretty good little spot. Apparently it's been here a while but I'm not super observant. haha The food was good and more importantly they have a drive thru. I'll definitely be passing back through for at least the grits and biscuits. I knew it was going to be good immediate because whoever was in the back cooking wasn't speaking English... SOLD! Cute little place though. Lots of men in there this morning and it seems they come there often. ha I thought that was cute. Sorry this drug on. Service was great and quick, food was delicious and there's a drive thru. What more do you need!! read more

I feel so bad writing a negative review because I really wanted to like this place, but this was NOT it. The restaurant is small, which is fine, but it's definitely not clean. There is mold growing in the ceiling tiles & the air ducts look like they haven't been cleaned since the place probably opened. I can't imagine that's healthy for the employees or customers, and I definitely don't want that dirty air blowing on my food. As for the menu, it looks really fresh & appetizing but the food just does not meet the mark. I ordered the honey mustard turkey sandwich which was quite literally subway quality. I asked for no swiss & to change it to pepper jack & of course there was swiss. My friend ordered the fried chicken club salad and they failed to put the egg and didn't serve it with dressing at first. The cashier/waitress was going a mile a minute trying to deal with the early 2000's cash register so no wonder these details were missed. This place could be awesome with some help, but for now, it is absolutely not worth $15 for a sandwich, fries & soda. read more

We have been eating breakfast here for nearly 20 years Great omelets, coffee and awesome services. Kelly will go out here way to make sure you have everything you need.

Hickory Cafe & Grill - Bananas Foster French Toast - Cafes Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

The cafe is only open for lunch. It's not very big, 5 booths and 5 tables. By the time I left today, most were occupied. From my experience, they do more take out business than eat in. (They also cater according to their menu.) Today there was at least a dozen large bags on the counter waiting for customers. They even have a pick up window on the side of the building. There was a steady trickle of people who came, picked up their orders, and left. If you are going to eat in, you read the menu and place your order at the counter. Soft drinks are self serve. When your order is ready, they call your number. I had their smoked turkey sandwich today. It comes stacked with turkey and dressed with bacon and Swiss cheese on an herbal focaccia bread. Personally I find there is way too much bread for me, but it is good tasting bread. All the sandwiches come with your choice of fries, slaw, or grilled veggies. The grilled chicken garden salad is massive, one of those where you can tell people, oh, I had a salad for lunch, and just be stuffed while you are saying it. There is also a roasted veggie sandwich for those not interested in meat (which I've never tried). On Fridays, they add seafood to the menu. It's a nice place for lunch (if you don't mind the self service aspect) and the food is good. read more

Food was excellent The only problem was they put bacon on my food after I requested NO BACON But as food goes 5 stars read more

Love this place! Food is delicious. I am on a healthy eating program and I am comfortable eating here- I can get delicious grilled vegetables as a side (!) instead of fries. The chicken salad is great and comes on 7 grain bread- all acceptable with my program. Took off one star, bc the staff could be friendlier ( being such a small place makes it more obvious when they are nice to certain people and not everyone- not ugly, just not very personable). Sorry, one of my pet peeves. We will still eat here- that's how tasty the food is. read more

I love Hickory Cafe & Grill...great food great prices and friendly staff! My food is always fresh and delicious! The omelet sandwich for Breakfast is my favorite! So Darn Good! We come here frequently for their delicious food! read more

This place is on point most of the time and I love their salads! Only complaint is they are a little slow and kinda over priced. Other then that it's a sold lunch spot. Gonna have to try their breakfast one day..... read more

Great classic burger! I subbed the fries for the grilled vegetables, which were fantastic.

Dad and I found this lovely place while we were waiting for his mechanic to open. Brandy welcomed us warmly and got our drinks and Courtney took fabulous care of us during our meal. Dad got a Hickory and I got a bowl of grits. I asked for season salt and Courtney brought me some Lawry's but warned me that I might love the grits without the additive and she was so right. Not only was the food delicious, but we were each offered a free cupcake to celebrate Hickory's 6 yr anniversary. We will definitely come back here. Excellent food and excellent service. read more

Good home style food. Sticks to your ribs. Recommend highly. I had the hamburger steak with Mac and cheese. I needed a nap after that meal!

The place is cute and quaint. Not a ton of seating but we lucked out since it was pretty dead. Everyone at my table got the reuben and I got the California. It was made with grilled chicken, fresh lettuce, tomato, cucumber, and pesto mayo on focaccia bread. The chicken was cooked to perfection as was the bread. It was dense, soft, and fragrant. The portions on all sandwiches were totally worth the roughly $10 price tag. Everyone raved about the reuben and I thoroughly enjoyed the California. I will definitely visit this place again read more

I was at a class across the street from this place, for lunch I called in my order (grilled chicken salad with smoked pecan vinaigrette) and the lady told me 15 minutes. I immediately walked across the street and was nicely greeted unpon entry and my order was ready on the counter. I paid (12.00 for a salad), which h is ideal, walked back to my class and low and behold a BEAUTIFUL SALAD with delicious dressing, which I devoured and forgot to take a picture. This place is great for a quick bite and even has a drive through window. read more

This is my second visit to this establishment. It's small and quaint but the food is delicious. On my first visit, I would have given it a four star. However, today I received old reheated bacon and I must say I was very disappointed as the owner was in the kitchen. I ordered the French toast and it was great but I was disappointed in the bacon not being fresh. The host was polite and attentive. She alone made this visit a good one. I must say because I like my bacon crispy I forced myself to eat the reheated bacon because again I do not like to complain. I'm uncertain if it's worth one more try because character comes into play greatly. My ordered was boxed as a to-go order and I wanted it to stay. Hmmm, I'm guilty of not always checking but it was definitely a surprise to the kitchen staff when the hostess asked for a plate to plate my toast. read more

One of my favorite, go-to breakfast spots! Consistently delicious food, no matter the time of day or week.

OVERVIEW: Total experience does not match the price on the final bill; $30 for an omelette, burger, 1 mimosa and 1 water at a "cafe" that looks like a diner. There are other, lower priced cafe/diner places in Harahan with better hours, service and food. That said, it's not horrible, and if you want to try a new breakfast/lunch place to shake things up, give this place a try. THE DETAILS: ATMOSPHERE is diner, and the (lack of decor) is nothing to write about. Formica tables and booths; clean enough; semi comfortable. Music selection was a local pop/oldies station. They do have a small parking lot in front of the building. SERVICE is subpar for the price because I would've hoped some of the price went to pay their staff well, but service seems to be a regular issue after reading other reviews. The waitress was alone on a Saturday at brunch (11 a.m.) and seemed very overwhelmed by the 4-5 two top tables, and was rude to start out, though she did apologize for being overwhelmed by the time my husband was signing the check. I've had better service. I've had worse service. Eh. DRINKS The beer selections were given, but come to find out they were out of over half of those, so my husband went with water. I ordered a mimosa, which for $6 is a small glass of orange juice (with ice ????) with a personal bottle of champagne to keep adding as you drink. FOOD is good, but seems like it could be hit or miss. Portions are a good size. Took FOREVER for food to come out - we were there a little over an hour, which just felt long. Breakfast was the blackened shrimp omlette with grits and biscuit for $8. Omelette had good portion of well cooked shrimp, but they were not blackened. The green bellpepper chunks were cut much too large; thankfully I like bellpepper. I did detect a small amount of eggs and cheese. Grits were pretty good, but biscuit, though flavorful, was dry. Lunch option was better; my husband ordered the focaccia burger $10.45 and the focaccia bread was the best thing on the table oddly enough. He chose the grilled vegetables (zucchini, red onions & yellow squash) as his side, which he enjoyed. For $10.45 I like that there is no up charge for the grilled veggies as a side item. read more

Very disappointed in the food I ordered today fries are overcooked and way way oversalted and to charge the prices for a Povoy and have a single slice of meat like sandwich meat and charging almost $14 for a freaking Poboy that's ridiculous overcharged overcook that is not a Poboy that is a freaking sandwich very disappointed I will not be back again read more

First visit for breakfast. I ordered the "Hickory" which is the basic eggs, meat and carbs combo. Whenever I try a new place for breakfast, I go with the basic because if a place can't do that well, everything else on the menu will come up short. Food came quick and hot. Eggs perfectly scrambled. Bacon, biscuit, and grits were equally tasty. Another sign of a good place is when the chef proprietor comes out and talks with the customers to see how things are going. Service was efficient and friendly. Locals get a rewards card. Friendly place with good, reasonably priced food. read more

Small diner with friendly staff. I got my burger to go. Burger was big and good. Overall a pleasant experience.
