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.

North Hickory Market is a new and local restaurant in Hickory. The focus seems to be on typical…read moreAmerican food, mostly brunch and sandwiches along with some special dinner items. It is quite spacious inside and there is a section that offers outdoor seating underneath the roof, which is nice. Our server was attentive, although one of the orders was initially forgotten. That got resolved quickly. I got the Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Sandwich on their homemade focaccia. Honestly, for such a simple sandwich, it was delicious! The bacon was not too salty and the eggs and cheese were not too overwhelming on the sandwich. My cousins enjoyed the Italian Stallion and Bagel & Lox (although they ran out of bagels when we arrived for dinner, so my cousins substituted with toast). They also really loved the Side Caesar Salad! I will say that I feel kind of cheated by my server. He initially asked if I wanted a side with my sandwich, basically insinuating that it was included with or part of the sandwich. To confirm that, I asked him if the side would be part of the meal. He nodded in agreement and was like "Sure, if you want it to be," so I got the Potato Wedges as my side. They were seasoned well and came with a dipping sauce that kind of tasted like vinegary honey mustard. But at the end, we were all charged for our sides. I see that the menu does mention sides costing extra, but I do not understand why that was not made clear to us by the server when he asked the question about sides. I was not even thinking about sides for my order until he brought it up. So I think the server could have made it more transparent that the sides were going to be an additional cost ("Do you want to add a side for an additional cost?"), ESPECIALLY since I had asked him upfront before placing my order. Other than that, I would say this is a solid place for some basic but good sandwiches. I would be interested in coming back and trying the other options on the menu. I also like how calm and quiet the surrounding area of the restaurant is. It makes dining in the outside section feel relaxing.

I haven't been here in a while, and was looking forward to it…read more Food is always good... but today was disappointing. Between lunch and dinner time, there wasn't a clean booth available. More tables had trays and dishes on them than people. There wasn't many people sitting, a lot of staff around, but no tables getting bused. Not sure what changed, but isn't the same since I been here last summer.
