We look for highly rated restaurants, close to the interstate and which have outdoor seating because we have dogs. Bringing water for our dogs and cups to take our sweet tea with us, our server, Kiersten, was the epitome of friendly southern hospitality. The barbecue was delicious. You could see the smoker on the property. What set this apart was the choice of sides. There were several sides such as green bean casserole and creamed corn that you don't see at other barbecue joints. We will definitely be back on our next trip to NC.

Easily the best thing on the table and definitely worth trying. Unfortunately, everything else just didn't live up to it. The BBQ and brisket were a letdown -- lacking flavor, not as tender as expected, and just didn't have that true smoked BBQ quality you look for, especially in a place like Hickory where the standard is high. Service and atmosphere were fine, nothing bad there, but when the main focus is the food, it just didn't deliver the way I hoped it would. Left feeling disappointed and honestly wishing I had gone somewhere else. Might give it another shot down the road, but based on this visit, it didn't live up to the hype for me.

In the middle of our conversation, one employee started watching videos at full volume. The sound was loud enough to compete with the music already playing in the shop. I asked if he could use headphones, and to his credit, he turned it off. Not long afterward, another employee started doing the exact same thing. This continued on and off for the next hour. I was honestly stunned by the lack of basic manners. I don't know who taught these people that it's acceptable to impose their personal cell phone audio on an entire room of paying customers, but it's behavior I'd expect from a small child, not from people representing a business.

There are movie themed decorations all around. Robocop, Gremlins, Back to the Future and others. Pinball machines in one area, and a Glaw machine with space creatures in another. Very colorful and fun ambiance. Our daughter suggested the Salad / Pizza / Pasta / Soup buffet. We agreed and started with salads from a great variety of choices, even Green Peas, my favorite. Grandkids went straight for pizza slices - several times. Excellent salad fixings. The adults started on pizza, and a great variety of pizzas available, not just a couple. My son-in-law mentioned they always had three different soups at same end of pasta choices. He came back with a bowl of Italian Wedding soup, his favorite. When I finished my salad ( I try to eat slowly with good food) and got a bowl of that soup. Hot and delicious! I ate every bite of it. Then I tried a bowl of a creamy soup that looked like Potato soup but with Broccoli and Carrots. It was also very good but Italian Wedding soup was the best. My grandson, a HS Senior football player, about 280, came back with a small bowl of spaghetti, and about a dozen meatballs balanced carefully on top! He mentioned they also had Lasagna. Wow. I passed the pasta and grabbed a piece of Mexican pizza - hello delicious Taco! And also took a piece of Apple Pie pizza, my daughter's suggestion. It was wonderful! Best ever. Our server, Ash, was unbelievable! It was a busy time with most tables taken, but she managed to keep our drinks filled, our plates cleared, and asking if we needed anything. Wonderful food, great fun ambiance, and top notch service. This a pizza place on Steroids! If you're in the area, you must try it!

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.

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.
