Copper Penny Grill in Hickory was a great first experience, and we will definitely be back. The…read morefood, drinks, atmosphere, and service all exceeded our expectations. We ordered the Cedar Plank Salmon, and the bourbon bacon glaze was outstanding. We also tried the Buffalo Chicken Flatbread, which had the perfect balance of cool ranch flavor and just the right amount of spice. For drinks, we enjoyed the Bananas Foster Old Fashioned, Maple Old Fashioned, and the Gummy Flight. Each one was well-crafted and delicious. One of the highlights of this location is the waterfront setting. We requested outdoor seating and were seated on the upper-level deck overlooking the water. There was live music at the lower-level outdoor bar on Saturday night, and we could still enjoy the music from our table upstairs while taking in the view. We were seated quickly, and every staff member we interacted with was friendly, attentive, and helpful. Although Copper Penny Grill has multiple locations, the Hickory location's waterfront atmosphere makes it especially memorable. If you're looking for great food, creative cocktails, live music, beautiful views, and excellent service, Copper Penny Grill in Hickory is well worth a visit. We look forward to returning and trying more of the menu.

For food, I ordered the fried pork chops with Mac and cheese and mashed potatoes (gravy on the side). While fried pork chops were tasty and well seasoned, the mashed potatoes had the perfect texture but lack any seasoning. Very very plain. Mac n cheese was a hard pass. I ate one noodle and quickly pushed the whole bowl to the side. I also had a margarita, usually a pretty easy drink to make. This one had a bit too much sour mix. My husband had the ribs with mashed sweet potatoes and parmesan French fries. The sweet potatoes and ribs were tasty but fries were a pass. Our server was very sweet and attentive. Overall, it was a mixed experience. Some parts were really good, others not so much. But don't let this review deter you from trying Backstreets as we love the Columbia location.

I decided to put that advice to the test and my friend and I stopped by for dinner before attending a concert. I had a really delicious plain chopped BBQ sandwich with an order of "frips," what I would call "hot chips." I added some of their homemade BBQ sauce to my sandwich and it was really good! I was told their sauce won an award at some point, which didn't surprise me. The restaurant is small and very homey, which was something I appreciated. Living in a larger city, I'm not used to this type of restaurant, but I liked this location. The service was good, we didn't have to request any refills or the check. I enjoyed my visit and would return for further BBQ when I'm back in this area of North Carolina!

I applaud Hannah's for being open during the Stay at Home order. I called my order in and they said they'd have it ready in 5 minutes. The woman taking the order on the phone was kind and efficient. And they did indeed have my food ready in just 5 minutes! When I came to pick up my order, I noted how clean the establishment was. They have tape on the floor as well, spaced 6 feet apart to promote social distancing while picking up your order. The sandwich itself was delicious. The barbecue was flavorful and smoky, and topped with the creamy slaw and barbecue sauce, it was a perfect bite. The one thing I found needing improvement was the bread. The bun was cold and very bready and thick. That is a personal preference, however. Some may like a large roll. I ended up taking the top bun off and eating the bottom with a fork. Perfect! The fries were crispy and seasoned well and the tea was sweet and cold! A really yummy lunch. I'd definitely go back!
