Hickory Tavern

Food was better than the last time I visited last year on this day..last time I had wood in my cedar plank salmon and it had no flavor among other dishes..I was shocked that my daughter wanted to revisit today for her birthday..and I must say y’all shocked the hell out of me..everything that was ordered no one had any complaints..except a gristle from something in the shrimp and grits..imagine that..but other than that y’all good with me

If I could give more stars I would , especially regarding our waitress, Korri. She was fantastic, she was really quick with our orders, constantly checking if everything was ok, refilled our drinks before we even noticed we needed them to be refilled. The food was very great also, will be returning soon and hopefully we will have the same waitress.

Returned after 2 months since I heard they made changes and things are definitely better. The spinach artichoke dip was the best I've ever had. Everything has greatly improved

The restaurant was very clean and very relaxed. Our server Tina B., was professional and nice without being effusive. The food was delicious and prepared perfectly.

We went early, around 4PM and people were starting to come in more about 5PM.

We stopped in to take advantage of cash back on our upside app and so happy we did. Our server was awesome (wish I could remember her name). The food was delicious too.
My picky son even asked to go back for their chicken strips. I enjoyed the Carolina Pulled Pork Tacos and my husband enjoyed his Smokehouse Burger.

Korri is a great friendly waitress! We’ve had her wait on us several times & she is always pleasant & keeps drinks filled.
My only complaint is new owner not using discount from Boy Scout card.

Very large place with plenty of seating and TVs to watch. The beer selection at the bar was great. Server addressed us quickly and was extremely friendly. The restaurant is filled with funny song quotes along the walls. I got the pretzels and cheese and the pretzels were soft, hot, and delicious. I also ordered a power bowl and added a few ingredients and it came out just as I ordered it and tasted delicious. Worth a stop if you’re in town.

We had a wonderful evening at the tavern. Savannah was a wonderful server! She handled our party of 25 with a beautiful smile on her face! She 100% made our experience more enjoyable and is an asset to the establishment. All the orders were perfect and delicious! Thank you!!! ❤

This was my first time here at this establishment…it was recommended by a friend…I enjoyed my time here at Gastonia…the food an environment was great…Payton G was a great server….she was very nice an warm greeting…I had the smothered chicken with broccoli an rice…an a sweet tea….the food was very delicious…I will definitely be back again to try the rest of the menu…..

Great for casual dining with friends. Our server Korri was great! She made our experience so fun. Will definitely ask for her when we go back!

Been there a few times, the staff was warm and welcoming. My family and I Always have a positive experience when we have Kindra as our waitress!! She kind, friendly, super quick and makes our experience super fun!! The food is awesome!! Definitely will be back and highly recommend you go too......enjoy, and make sure to ask for Kindra!

Didn't get to try the food on the menu but the options looked amazing....Would go back to try the food at another time. I made it back here 2x in less than a week and the food was amazing. The manager was great and had an awesome server. The cooks did an excellent job as well.

Our first experience was such a delight! Korri was our waitress and was so helpful with navigating the options. Korri had many recommendations. We started off with the POW POW shrimp! The Diablo burger was THE BEST burger I’ve had. Don’t forget the Brussel sprouts as a side! The environment was quiet yet interactive in the music choices that everyone would know. I nearly danced through my meal! I will definitely be back.

My server Korri was amazing!!! She made sure I had all condiments i requested before the food came out. And checked on me throughout my dining experience

Brooklynn was the best bartender I’ve ever experienced. Definitely am coming back for her. 10/10 recommend!

I have been coming here at least 5-6 days a week ever since this place has opened. I keep coming back because of the wonderful bartenders that take such great care of me and all of our group that comes out...I especially want to acknowledge Brooke, Caroline, Savannah and Lindsay. Thanks to all of you for all of your hard work and always taking great care of me!

Our person Korri took amazing care of and can't wait to be in her station again. Shout out to Brooklyn who equally great too!!!

Love the build your own salad options and music trivia at night.

We had a great experience! Korri was excellent. She made sure our every need was met.

We went there to watch a football game and get some drinks/appetizers. It was fairly busy but Korri was fantastic!
