Service is always fast and friendly. The cheese dip with chips is a must get. They have a great beer selection and one of my favorites white zombie white ale. Only down side tonight is they had a random lady with an iPad in the corner changing the music every 30 seconds which left me confused because I thought she was jst drunk since she wouldn't let a song play for me to even figure out what song it was and she was dancing around the whole bar mostly entertaining the men.Apparently she is hired to be here every Tuesday 7:30p.m-9:30p.m and she announced it so I'll know not to come those days the music was jst annoying and her taking into the microphone jst randomly. WHO WOULD PAY FOR SOMEONE TO PLAY MUSIC OFF SPOTIFY. It's now 10 and she left and the music is back to normal read more

Visited Hickory Tavern in providence rd near where the old Harris teeter used to be and it was horrible! My family and I went to celebrate Mother's day and unfortunately it was a disaster! The waitress (kristen) was very UNPLEASANT and unprofessional! It took the food very long time to arrive , the amount of the side of fries was embarrassing and I am not wondering why this location is so empty I guess this is why! Unprofessional staff, the food is bad and not cooked right / some came even blend! I won't recommend this Hickory Tavern location to anyone and definitely won't come back. read more

My husband and I frequently come to Hickory Tavern. We have our menu favorites and know what we want before we sit down. Tonight our ordinary location in Wesley Chapel told us that there was a very long wait due to insufficient staffing. So we came to Waverley. We waited patiently at the front door and no one greeted us. About 10 minutes later a young woman came to the front desk and told us it was a 25 minute wait. Since we had called the restaurant prior to coming, this was a disappointment. But what was worse than a wait was her attitude She was curt and rude and gave us a "take it or leave" comment as if we were an inconvenience to her. What has happened to customer service? read more

SLOW service, good food and great company. We stopped in here after a Marvin Ridge football game to grab a bite to eat. It was very slow for a Friday night, and we were seated right away. It took a while to get service, and when we did we were met with a lovely server. Unfortunately, she was very slow the entire meal at getting back to us. We all finished our beers and waters, THEN had to flag her down to get more drinks. She was not very aware of us, and didn't seem to have more than 3-4 tables total. The food was good, but they don't know much about gluten free foods. First, the server told us that the burgers had bread crumbs in them... REALLY? Then her manager told her that they were all meat and gluten free. I did risk it and eat a burger, which was quite tasty. If you have good company, the time will pass fast, but boy do they need to train their servers at this location. Slowest service I've had in a long time. read more

Came in earlier this week for dinner (5/25) with my husband and had the best time. The hostess was super friendly and accommodating. Our server was efficient, answered our questions about the menu, and brought out our food in a timely manner. The food was great and we will definitely be returning! read more

Well where should I start.....we were looking for a quick last minute meal at 8:00 pm on a Sunday night. I called the Hickory Tavern and asked if they were busy and she said "they were dead". Onward we went. We walked in and they had a total of less than 10 customers. We sat at the bar and the bartender was pleasant and offered us menus and drinks which we received very quickly. We order 6 wings and an order of steak tacos at approximately 8:05 pm. We enjoyed our drinks and watching the games on the tv. At about 8:15 another person sat at the bar and she ordered her food. At about 8:25 her food came out and still now sign of our food? From the bar you have a great view of the kitchen. There were at least 3 people working? in there but they seemed more interested in eating their own food than making our food? Again there were less than 10 people total in the entire restaurant! At 8:40 and still no food we paid for our drinks and left. If you are hungry I would suggest you go elsewhere. read more

My wife wanted to go here for her birthday cause it's one of her favorite restaurants and I wasn't expecting much. However, our server Sicily was just the sweetest most efficient little thing that we could've asked for. She made sure we had everything we needed and the food was fast and yummy. Sicily recommended tossing my chicken sandwich in beesting, and as she said, it was delicious. We will come back just to see her smile brightening up the room. Five stars for Hickory Tavern. Five stars for our favorite server. read more

Really good food, but I just ordered a kids pasta and I got like 15 pieces of pasta. Usually there's a lot more, so this came as a surprise. They did give me a lot of applesauce though, and remembered the Oreos. read more

Left on hold for a good 10 minutes to place a take out order. Got home and took a few bites...RAW chicken wings and cold, hard fries. I don't know what's going on over there, but food quality is definitely slipping. Hoping I don't end up really sick tonight. I don't think we'll be back. read more

Geri at Hickory Tavern is the reason I continue to return To HT for lunch. She always has a smile and has never steered me wrong with her recommendations. If you go to HT for lunch ask to sit in Geri's section you won't be disappointed! read more

Not a great place!! First their A/C doesn't work it was to cold made the whole time very unpleasant. Second their ribeye when you ask well done they bring you a burnt and dry steak, also ordered the salmon was overcooked and dry, they also had no straws!!! Do not recommend this location!!!!! read more

I'm not a huge fan of Hickory Tavern to begin with.. Plans changed and we were asked to meet friends here. They had a good price that day representin' Sugar Creek Brewing for Four Bucks. We took a while to decide if we were going to eat there or somewhere else, but the waitress still seemed to frequently disappear. Once we ordered it took a bit of time for the food to come out. Luckily my friend noticed my nachos had been made but just sat under the heat lamp at the nacho bar next to the liquid bar. While I was in the restroom and the food was delivered, she tried a nacho and immediately sent them back since they had already lost their freshness! The manager apologized and the second nacho batch was fresh and crisp. Everyone else was pleased with their food choices. The bathroom was clean and in good working order, but the dining room seemed very dirty. The seating in bar area just seemed crammed together and didn't give you much elbow room. read more

Wish you could leave a zero - service was horrible. They want you to scan to read the menu but finally offered a paper copy. 45 minutes for a cheeseburger? And the drinks are watered down- worst experience I've had in 20 years by far read more

Favorite place to eat for years. Much love to the cooks. Food can take time to come out but worth it maybe. If your looking for some good wings and beer? Its here, compared to other name brand restaurants read more

I live close to this location and have gone a few times and had an okay experience. I came today, New Years Day for a late lunch and had a pretty lackluster experience. A friend and I ordered drinks and apps and an entree to share. The first issue was that our appetizer came out probably 2 seconds before our entree. When our food came we ordered more drinks and then we watched them sit at the bar for probably 10-15 minutes while our waitress very slowly strolled by at least 3-4 times and slowly cleaned off some tables and ignored us. We had to eventually had to go up to the bar and ask for the drinks ourselves (after we had already finished all our food). This experience earned 1 star but I'm averaging to 3 as I've been here a handful of times before and it was not bad. read more

Coming here for lunch isn't something my coworkers and I normally do, not sure why after visiting, and definitely will be back. After we were seated our drink orders were taken. Not too long after I was able to order lunch which included chicken tenders and a baked potato. You can chose for the chicken tenders to be plain or tossed in sauce, or for a side sauce bbq or honey mustard. On the baked potato comes butter, sour cream, chives, cheese and bacon. I only got butter on mine, but note you will have to ask for it on the side if that is your preference. The food didn't take too long to come out. Once we got it I'm pretty sure my coworker was totally jealous of mine because it looked awesome. And it was. I definitely had enough to take home and have for lunch the following day. The only hiccup during our meal was when I asked the waitress for butter she said ok and left. I am pretty sure she totally spaced because when I asked her again she said ok, but this time she brought it out. I would recommend for lunch, hopefully dinner service is just as good. read more

Band was to start at 9. Band wanted to play but manager held they off for over an hour. We had a large party that came for the band. I guess we were not as important as the football game, that a few guests could still watch. We ate had drinks not very good. Service was ok not great. Very disappointed. read more

What? Last day of Tavern Chips? Corporate Decision? BIG MISTAKE! HUGE! UNBELIEVABLE! Replacement is tater tots? Come on. Really? All Hickory Taverns are awesome! We love the food. Everything is so good. Can't go wrong with anything you order and the beer selection is awesome. read more

Where have you been all my life! I've lived in the same house for 30 years and I know the Providence Hickory Tavern has been at their current location as long as that shopping center's been there. I always just thought of it as a bar that served food. Their curbside pickup in this time of COVID is what led me to their door. I don't get around very well and it's difficult to carry food out. Their food is legit! I've ordered two entree's. Their cheese burger was cooked perfectly and all the trimmings were fresh and tastey. Their Tavern Salad was hearty, fresh, fresh, fresh, and the Ceasar dressing was really good. I'll be back for more. read more

I like this place. The main reason for that is because it is authentic: it is not trying to be something that it isn't. It's on the way to my house so I stop here for happy hour sometimes and a quick bite to eat with friends after work. Nice sports-bar type atmosphere, friendly wait staff, good bar food and a great bar with tons of TV's. Wouldn't necessarily be my first choice to take out the family for dinner (although there are a lot of families every time I'm there) but for hanging out with the boys over some wings and brew while watching a game it's a great place! read more

I am 17 right now I have been coming to this hickory tavern since i was 10 i have been at this restaurant every single Sunday for 7 years , me and my dad watch every panther game at hickory tavern every Sunday it's tradition . I love this restaurant and I have for a very long time. read more

The Fish Tacos are what brings me to Hickory Tavern for lunch. They are absolutely fantastic. However, the rest of the menu I haven't had much success. Nothing bad, just nothing that sticks out and says wow. The desserts are MASSIVE, and I would recommend sharing if you get one. The oreo cheesecake and the tiramisu cheesecakes are especially good. They do offer trivia on Wednesday nights where you can win gift certificates (and apply them to your bill that night). Again, 3 stars for having some good food, but I don't yearn to go there every week. read more

I am by far the biggest fan of Hickory Tavern's build your own salad. I literally could eat it every day. At this location, however, simple instruction and ability to listen seem to be their biggest hurdle. I've called in to go orders, on multiple occasions, and they just can't seem to ever get it right. I don't know if it's the "builder" or the person taking the order. The continued mistake has prevented me from calling these guys for the past couple of weeks but tonight I really wanted one of those salads and decided to give it a shot. Friday night, super busy inside, go in, food is ready, get home, and BAM... It's wrong again. The roller coaster of emotion from excitement to disappointment to anger is the reason I'm writing today. $12.95 for a salad (with protein), when built by the customer, should be done correctly 100% of the time! read more

Came here on a Tuesday when they had "house margaritas" on special, they were the worst margaritas we have ever tasted in our lives we both agreed they tasted like salty bath water. The food was way worse than the same thing I order at another location. Waitress was nice but didn't acknowledge anything really that we said was wrong and never sent over a manager when we clearly stated the margaritas were gross. We will probably never come back to this location. read more

I love this place!!! The food that I have had has been yummy and my waitress Ashley was the best- bartenders Brooke, Sarah and Brandon all superb I am from MI and will come here while visiting my brother to watch football and hockey read more

Horrible service. Won't be back. Food took forever, no silverware, no requested condiments, only one IPA on tap

Grilled Talapia was delicious and lightly seasoned.My son ordered the wing meal and always enjoys the teriyaki flavor. Friendly service but forgetful. Overall good experience. read more

Very very very nice staff. Yes it's a bar but don't make that not male you try the food.its actually pretty good and decently priced. The chicken tacos are to die for. I will say one thing. This is a bar so stick with bar foods! read more

Used to frequent and enjoy this location. This location has changed, considerably, for the worse. They did not have Angry Orchard as advertised on their main menu. The waitress said they had gotten rid of it. Then I asked for a captain and coke in a tall glass with lime and I received it in a small plastic cup, no lime. Had to ask several times for the lime. Seriously! Also the dining room is a mess and their registers went down and we had to wait for our food order to be put through once the system rebooted. Will not be revisiting. read more

Hickory Tavern - This is what this Hickory Tavern calls a tall Captain and Coke!!!!! - American Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Friendly staff, but entirely overpriced. The tavern caters to a high class older crowd, and it is sort of a family hangout during the day. It is a nice place to take your kids to after a soccer game (if you have the dough). At night it turns into a somewhat younger crowd, it is half and half between older drunks and a college people. The place rocks some good classic rock, and one of my best friends works here, Alexis. She is an awesome waitress/bartender and you should give her your money. read more

Great experience!!!! Food was great!! We love Marcus!!!! Had a new waitress named Stevie she rocks!! Can't wait till basketball season begins!! read more

Service is TOP-Notch! Thank you Samantha. She was sweet and very attentive. Even the managers checked in on us - customer service was of great importance. The BYO salad is awesome - they offer so many choices, you can never go wrong - and be sure to order their house dressing. My friend and I had a long leisurely lunch, with no pressure to leave, our drinks refilled with smiles the whole time. We will be back - but next time will stay for dessert too (coconut cake!) read more

The food was delicious! Emma waited on us and she was fantastic! Good atmosphere, good food, good service. Can't complain.:)

To keep it short.... The food and the service are perfectly in sync... neither good nor timely. Spend the $100 somewhere better...

We are headed to bike week and our truck broke down and we decided to check this place out and it was amazing! Highly recommend

I rate this place a solid four. It's a good sports bar. Lots of TVs, good beer selection, full menu and good staff. Oddly the build your own salads are pretty good as well. Random. read more

I frequent this Hickory Tavern with my family for a lunch date here and there and the service is pretty consistent. The food isn't too bad but not five stars. I usually get the chicken sandwich fried which is typically pretty good. We also get chips and cheese dip and many times the chips have been old. I would recommend this place if you want something quick and simple to eat. The safe meal is a salad or chicken fingers. read more
