Victoria Barker
Absolutely wonderful! We would eat here again. The restaurant environment is so homey feeling. We loved the Christmas decorations. The haddock, home fries, french fries, coleslaw (sweet), RIBS, pulled pork sandwich, french onion soup, Mac and cheese, and corn nuggets were all incredible! 🤌🏻 They've got these recipes down, and maybe a little salt and pepper here and there. Our server was so sweet and did a great job dealing with all of us!

I've lived here several years and can't believe i just now heard of it. My dad wanted to go for his 80th birthday. We WILL BE BACK!!! Everyone was super welcoming. Service on POINT. Food was DELICIOUS and the BBQ was out of this world.

Afternoon lunch experience was perfect. Mark, our server was helpful with menu options because this was out first time eating here. Appetizer, drinks for two and it meals arrived hot and fresh.

Came here on a work trip, food was very bland and service wasnt great for a steakhouse. I got a ribeye, ordered it rare, it was very cold in the middle and it was practically raw with a little bit of blue at the end of the steak. As someone who always orders a rare steak, and has no issues, I ended up with severe food poisoning with vomitting & diaherria. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

The food was okay. I had the pork chops. They were a bit tough and dry. My mom had the rack of ribs. She said that they were the best ribs she's ever had. The place is fairly expensive for what it is. Our waitress couldn't be bothered with us for the most part until we were almost done with our dinner and then she was super nice. Guess she had to get in for that tip. Well, here's a tip. Try to be super nice the entire time and try to be super helpful the entire time. You still got a good tip. I'm going to tip you good no matter what but the best tip I can give you is is give consistent service. Good consistent service

French onion soup was delicious. Outstanding in fact. I ordered the steak& blue cheese salad. Mouthwatering to say the least. Spouse had steak and fries. Food and service excellent. NOTE: PLEASE pay special attention to the the menu description of how you would like your steak prepared. Not all restaurants follow the same recipe. Hickory House has listed exactly how they categorize rare to well done perfection.

Kelli is the best! She made our night and even sang a birthday song for my dad. She’s so genuine and patient, and the Food! Kelli suggested the barbecue ribs and we weren’t disappointed. So so good. We’ll definitely be back. If you’re reading this, please don’t think twice and pay this place a visit!
