We rented a 23-foot pontoon from Lake Hickory Pub and Marina for a full 8 hours, and our only…read morecomplaint is that apparently 8 hours can go by in about 20 minutes when you're having that much fun! There were 7 of us, so we split the cost, which made it a great deal. We debated doing the 4-hour rental, and THANK GOODNESS we didn't -- we would've been crying when they made us bring the boat back! The pontoon was super clean and in great shape. The owner himself came out, gave us a tour of the boat, and explained everything we needed to know before sending us off on Lake Hickory. Every single staff member we dealt with was friendly, helpful, and made the whole experience easy. Great boat, great people, great day with friends. We will definitely be doing this again. Next time we just need to figure out how to make 8 hours last longer! 5 stars all the way for Lake Hickory Pub and Marina!

An overall welcoming lakeside pub with a cozy, small-town feel. Parking could be better, and a few…read moremore menu options would add some variety -- but honestly, it suits the laid-back pub atmosphere well. The bathrooms are clean, and the staff are exceptionally friendly and accommodating. Just know that this is primarily a bar, not a full sit-down restaurant, with limited seating outside of the bar area. There are board games and little knickknacks for kids (and adults, I suppose) to enjoy, though personally, it feels more like a spot for a casual night out with friends than a family outing. The food was decent -- nothing that blew me away, but nothing disappointing either. The burger was solid -- a safe, tasty choice. The spinach dip was quite good, though we couldn't tell if it was made in-house or bought. A quick note: the pita chips that come with the dip are crunchy, not soft. I didn't mind that, but my wife wasn't a fan. The nachos had a nostalgic, homemade quality. You know when you'd throw tortilla chips and shredded cheese in the microwave as a kid? It brought back that kind of vibe -- in a good way -- with a nice, old-school charm and a bit of an upgrade. Overall, I'd give it a 7 out of 10, mainly for the friendly service and how accommodating the staff were with our large party.

I kept my boat at River's Edge Marina (used to be R&N Marina) for about seven years to include all…read moreservice/maintenance jobs, and my boat and jet ski trailers there for about 10 years. The people were always nice and professional. However, during the last two years, my jet ski trailer suffered a broken fender, taillight and license plate bracket as well as ruined tires from being stored in the mud as opposed to inside like I was promised. I didn't seek damages, did the repairs myself, and sent them a letter stating that I will keep my boat trailer there, but not my jet ski trailer, since it was damaged and being kept outside in the mud. My letter was not derogatory in any way but simply stated the facts. The owner (Rick) called me, said he doesn't want my business, I needed to come get my boat trailer ASAP, I was a jerk, and he didn't want me on the property ever again. He stated that he didn't need my money and spends my $330 trailer fee on lunch every day. I couldn't believe what I was hearing as I was always nice and professional in person and in my letter. The employees there have always been nice and I've never had any issues until speaking to the owner. He turned a business matter into a personal attack which is unacceptable. All that to say that, come to find out, this guy, who also owns Lakeside Marina, has a really bad reputation for losing his temper with customers. I will certainly never do business with him and would advise anyone who does to reconsider. There are other places to get fuel and supplies on Lake Hickory that have great owners and are more worthy of our hard earned money.
