Great food, great service, a hidden gem, way out of our way but worth the trip everytime

NO WI-FI? I see free wi-fi is offered in the amenities but when I asked the bartender for the password she laughed at me and said "her boss wouldn't share the password, not even with her". Doesn't sound like he (or she) wants to keep the customers coming back.. I live in Linden and I probably won't be back. I didn't bother to stay and eat, just finished my drink and left... read more

Wasn't great service took a while and the food wasn't great and I wish it could have been better

This is my go-to bar. Bartenders know what they're doing and you actually get the same consistent drink you order every time!! Relaxing atmosphere and always leads to a great night out!! read more

Not a good experience at all. Staff was so rude. Restaurant is old and filthy, smelled awful...finished our drink and left. Wasn't expecting anything fancy, it's a dive bar kind of place, but it definitely needs some tic. read more

Atmosphere, value and big portions! I had the perch and my daughter had the blue gill. Both were excellent! Our server (Krissy) was great as well. Highly recommend! read more

I love a proper hole in the wall. Drinks are strong, food is good, atmosphere is right.

Great steak sandwich and fish fry! We go here without having a reservation and always manage to get a seat. A rare thing these days! Extremely casual. Clean. Food is consistently good. read more

Great food not bad service been hanging out here for years. Love the people. Great music on the weekends.

Best food around hidden gem!!! Tip your awesome bartender waitress Denise!! Great pizza, great perch, great burrito's

Ok I'm now what I would consider a regular here since I started coming last year because my summer home is nearby. The food is consistently very good. It's better than bar food. Great dinner salad, specials almost every day. Tonight I had the butterfly shrimp. It came hot, very crispy and perfectly prepared. I chose clam chowder, and like all their soups, excellent. The potato was a bit overdone but ok, and my hubby had Stromboli. It was amazing. Huge portion and they do not skimp on the filling. The wait staff are very friendly and unlike one reviewer, I did not find them lazy! Katie is a great bartender, and Dora my favorite server. You won't get a lot of people reviewing this place, they aren't the Smartphone type here, so take my word for it, it's worth a visit to this fun "hole in the wall" place. read more

Old Hickory Bar - people sitting at the bar - Salad Near Me - Fenton, Michigan

I used to frequent this place regularly when I lived close by. I had forgotten just how great the pizza was.. My wife was extremely pleased as they were able to grant her request for ranch dressing on her pizza rather than the normal pizza sauce. The quality of the ingredients was excellent and the crust was cooked perfectly. All four members of our party Saturday evening agree that we will be back soon for another round of pizza and beer.... read more

One of our favorite places! Great food. Great prices, you can say you get what you pay for. I love that they haven't overpriced things. Keeps us coming back, it's real, it good & most nights busy busy!! read more

The atmosphere is definitely a local dive bar feel, but the menu is very large and the service was friendly. Drink prices seemed reasonable also. We had the hickory breadsticks which were the cheapest appetizer on the menu and HUGE! They may have taken a little while to come out, but they were very tasty and worth the wait. Our group also had a burger, walleye and butterflied shrimp meals. Very large portions (everyone took home leftovers) and we each enjoyed our meals. I'm told the coconut shrimp is very good, but a special and not available all the time & I wasn't lucky to catch it on this visit. I'll be back again to try it though! read more

Amazing burgers and pizza. Cold beer and a great staff. We love to play keno and pull tabs, it closes to home. I've even taken the grand kids its a friendly place. Eat in or take out. Can't wait for the queen of Michigan to open up the bars and restaurants. read more

It's not much to look at from the outside but this place has been a mainstay for our area for it seems like forever. The food is really good and priced right. We eat there often and have nothing bad to report. Just great food and drinks. And the pizzas are huge for the price. And the staff is very friendly.I would highly recommend this place. read more

Great place I like it here. Full of people from the area which means a bunch of good people. The staff is friendly and always helpful and always courteous. I like their menu is full of options great all-around bar food plus. I stop in a lot for a burger and they always taste good don't think I'll ever get tired of an old hick burger. read more

Have always loved this place. But Monday we waited 1 hour, 23 mins for 2 pizzas and strombolis. They need to forget about take outs and treat their in house guests better read more

I mean what can you say about a dive bar!!! It's a sauce bar. However, it is good for kids. The pizzas are good. It's got the feeling of an up north dive bar. My kids like to go and they love the burgers. read more

Wait staff didn't clear table , ordered coffee told it had to be made but it was cold when we got it and mozzarella sticks were over cooked and we ordered chips and cheese , we were told they had no chips but when we got the bill they where on there. Had to have a waitress fix the bill and pretty sure she was not even out original waitress read more

The service gets worse & worse!! Friday night...one bartender one server????? Waited 20 minutes & finally someone caught our eye, said I'll be right over as another couple walks in & cleans off their own table to sit...:wtf??? No one ever came over! We left! read more

Best Fried Perch Around. Good Pizza. Michigan Craft Beer on Draft. Pricing is Fair. Every once in a while they will have good Bottle Special's. One of Genesee Counties Hidden Gem's. read more

Definitely a dive bar ambiance. That being said the pizza is extraordinary. The burgers are great. The service is good. The staff is friendly. read more

7 kids, waiting on everyone else, usually tip 20%, walked out when they served everyone else, eat it, bad service, totally bull waited and1 hour and 45 before we walked out, local patron, totally pissed! DONT EAT HERE, VERY BAD, beg for your food very bad night out! read more

There are lots of reviews that recommend the pizza. They aren't wrong. We ordered the Hickory, which is a supreme style. In the mean time while we waited, we enjoyed the incredibly cheap beer specials. It took longer than normal for your typical supreme pizza. When they brought it out we completely understood. So many toppings heaped on you could not see the cheese. Oh, and there was plenty of cheese under those toppings! It takes a while to get it all to bake it is so thick. This is one of the best places for pizza in Michigan. Wait staff was friendly and fun to talk to. read more

I love a good dive bar, but it's usually because their service is fun. At the Old Hick, the service is just lazy. The food is good, and the trivia is fun on Sundays, but I got stuck with the same lazy server twice. read more

Good food for a dive. Downside is nasty bathroom, odd characters, a bit of a drive. Younger crowd nightlife on Thursdays with awful karaoke.

Old Hickory Burger with a cold beer. Adequate and simple. Dive bar feel with more seats than you would expect. Let's be honest, you don't go to the Old Hickory for fine dining, you go to drink cold beer, eat a greasy cheeseburger and a pile of fries, all while watching the locals stare at every unfamiliar face that walks in the door. read more

The waitress was nice. The food was great except that it took over an hour to fry 3 hamburgers and it took a few tries to get the toppings to order. 5 cars total in the lot and I think 5 people total in for food. You could die of starvation. read more

Food and service is going way down hill Food and fries were cold for entire table and very hard to get a drink

this place is great for lunch and dinner. they have specials everyday. the night life is a little hit and miss, but a great bar. karaoke on thurs and sometimes saturday. trivia on sunday. read more
