    House side salad
    Sarah E.

    Taylor is amazing. Always great to see her and her service is always top notch. We had a power bowl and the tavern salad

    Fish & Chips with Brussels sprouts
    Tracy E.

    What an all around great restaurant experience! We stopped for a late lunch at Hickory Tavern in Mooresville, NC. The restaurant is very clean and bright, and we were greeted warmly and seated immediately. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive throughout our visit. I had the Fish & Chips with the Brussels sprouts and my husband ordered the Pesto Turkey Club with tatertots. Both meals were hot and DELICIOUS! There were a bunch of TV's....would be great for a Game Day meetup or a night out with the family! We will definitely go back!!

    Power bowl w/ahi tuna,chicken wings,burgers.
    Ed Z.

    Eddie Z here again.great pub food cooked well every time. Chic wings and burgers always good as is the power bowl with choice of shrimp,chicken,or ahi tuna. Our server(Amelia was outstanding).

    Make your own salad
    Liz W.

    I don't know of another place without a salad bar where you can build your own with so many options! Truly there's a salad for everyone. Our party of three each got a salad and two of us ate every single bite. Every piece. Delicious! The waiter was friendly, plenty of television entertainment like it reminds me of Vegas but the music is soft so you can still enjoy your company. They have a sour beer. Big points.

    $4 taps!! Great craft beers. Founders and Bell's!!…read more $11.99 1/2 pound burger and fries. Terrific service and clean!! We will be back

    Your hostesses need coaching on paying attention. Granted, I had a long day at work and just…read morewanted a descent meal. I walked at around 6:00 pm. Not busy by comparison to a Friday night. The hostess asked the number in the party. "Just me". There were plenty of tables available. After about 3-4 minutes of Fumbling around, (keep in mind they were not busy ). another hostess, with a long green scarf wrapped around her head to look like a gypsy, looked at me, took me around to the right side of the restaurant, and did not even bother to seat me at the table. The Following conversation below explains the reason I feel the way I feel. Keep in mind I was Asked if I wanted a Hi-top table. The hostess says. "Hi-top" ?? I said...." Sure...." She walks me past the bar towards the bathroom and sticks me a 2 seater table that was dark as crap. Not a hightop. So dark that I sat down and pulled out my phone in order to use the light to read the menu. I say.... "How about that table right there, pointing to the HIGH-Top in the bar... She says..." this is where I need to seat you for service.... ". ???? Since when can you not get service at a bar hightop??? I sit down.... I try to read the menu in the dark .. a waitress walks by me about 4 times ... no acknowledgment not even a how are you. Just walked past .... I get up and leave everything at the table and walk out .... so much for a decent meal and leaving a server a very decent tip. Never again .... I would not even post this if it had not been that this is the second time I've been to Duckworth's and service has just been horrendous. I'm not sure if it's because there is a group of regulars that go there and love the establishment, and gives them high scores but as someone who visits every now and then, and each time over the last six months has received horrible service I just don't understand. The food is not that great, and the service is even worse. I would not recommend this restaurant at any time of the day or night not until they can get either staffing needs straightened out or better food .

    I raised my glass and shouted, "Hear! Hear! To motorcycles, chicken, and beer!"…read more I'm not at Iron Thunder often (maybe twice per month) so everyone looked over at me like I was nuts. I thought to myself: 'shit' and called the bartender over (Alexis--excellent at remembering every detail of a food order and light vibe yet professional service). She walked over. I said, "I have to tell you something and it's really important. But I can't say it too loud." Alexis: "Okay." I raised my glass and shouted, "Hear! Hear! To motorcycles, chicken, and beer!" Okay, that didn't really happen. I actually came in because my phone was dying and wanted to see if they had a charger. They did indeed have a highly effective port on that little trivia screen thing at the bar, and they have a few of them. So, this is an odd yet valuable tip. IT is right off the highway. If you're traveling on I-77 and need a charger, this is the spot! It has a lot of juice too. The chicken sandwich (enormous) also has some juice and was better than expected, and the fries are probably the best sports bar fries in the area. For atmosphere, a ton of space with a bar, couches, a pool table, video games, outdoor seating, and a fire pit. As for the Iron Thunder brand and the clientele it pulls, this one is way more chill than the others. If you ever see drama, it should be minor. For drinkers, they have deals every day, mostly on beer. The reason for the 4 opposed to the 5 is twofold. One, the urinal set up is bizarre (no barrier and you urinate on stage if someone enters bathroom.) Two, just an overall vibe that something could be done to make it a little nicer. You have to be there to understand. For the record, I mind my own business and just chill and drink my beer when here. It's just a quick spot for me to unwind if I pop in. Overall, recommended. But understand the vibe. It's a biker theme (very few bikers though).

    Chicken on the house salad was old, hard and cold. lettuce was the middle pieces (ya know the stuff…read moreyou throw away!) gross! Ckn wings literally had freezer burn with no spices. Looked like baby wings . Great service though! Our server was awesome! Last time we!ll eat there!
