21 Best Burger Restaurants in Hickory

“My wife and I really enjoyed the food and the location, but unfortunately, the service didn't meet expectations. Our server seemed disengaged and gave the impression that she didn't want to be there. Great customer service is a key part of what makes a dining experience enjoyable, and we hope that next time we visit, they'll have staff who are more enthusiastic about their work.“

“Five guys is more expensive than most. But their food is pretty delicious. Fries are fresh cut and you can taste the difference. Hamburger meat seems higher quality than most burger places. All ingredients are fresh If you have an opportunity stop by take a five guys out. And don't forget to grab a few peanuts.“

“...Awesome place for different ice-cream treats...All the young people that work there are very courteous, polite and hard working...I just wish they'd bring back the hot foods like hotdogs 🌭 and hamburgers 🍔...Also I miss them for the few months their closed for winter...“

“A hidden gem. It is not a sit in restaurant but the food is excellent. I love their desserts. My personal favorite is their livermush sandwich with slaw, onions and mustard. I dare you to try it. How do you all make the livermush so crispy. I can't do that at home without burning it.“

“Amazing, fresh food! Also, Shai was an awesome waitress and super attentive. I will be back!“

“This Culvers was extremely impressive. We stopped by for lunch on our way to Asheville. When I say they were busy, that may be an understatement. Line out the door, drive thru lined up, parking lot FULL. Being that we had received a Culver's gift card for christmas, we decided to go ahead and stay. The staff was extremely friendly. We waited about 10 minutes in line to order considering the amount of people. Then only had to wait about 15 minutes for our hot and fresh food to be at our table. I have experienced longer wait times at other Culver's in an environment that was not a fraction of the amount of busy they were. The food was absolutely phenomenal. I want to give props to the crew working. They were on it! Everything was clean, even the drink station! As stated before, very impressed with how this location is ran. Like a smooth sailing ship. Great job guys!“

“Great food today at Kool Park pool. I had the club and my son had the chicken tenders both came with fries. He said these are the best fries I’ve ever had! Courteous and fast service. Would definitely try again!“

“Thank God for Jack in the Box! Even through covid they kept up there extended hours. I’m a night owl and NOTHING is open late anymore! Somehow Jack in the Box has managed to sustain their late hours and keep decent employees. I don’t know how they do it when no one else has seem to be able to, but they seriously deserve some recognition for it 👏 And I appreciate their variety. Where else can you get tacos and choros, and a burger and shake, and boba freaking tea!!? Kudos! Love ya!“

“Since this Burger King location was remodeled...they've been fantastic! The staff is attentive, friendly, and helpful! They've also really upped their food! Cooked perfectly and very tasty! Burger King team and food have improved so much that I highly recommend you give them another try!“

“OK, wait is long“

“Thomas Hammond, manager , great service, GREAT food. Best in North Carolina“

“The level of customer service provided to my family during our visit was superior, especially the service of Tammy W. The food was very good, the establishment was clean and the entire staff was excellent. Tammy went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. She was so kind to the young children in our group. Noticeably, she made a point to interact and provide excellent service to all customers, not just my party. Whataburger should definitely give Tammy a raise because if I owned a company, I would want to keep her on my team.“

“We love Hardee’s, but we were very disappointed on our last visit, we ordered 10 piece chicken tenders, we got home and we had very small pieces. We called the store and the employee stated that they decided to fry up some end pieces. Very disappointed, not enough to serve the 2 of us, thank you .“

“Our experience was awesome. Elijah our server was great. Honestly one of the best servers we have had it a long time. Our food was perfect and the staff all seemed to be helping each other. Great place to eat if your ever in Hickory NC.“

“there burgers are awesome“

“Amazing service by Chris in the drive through at 4:10 AM. I wanted a hot breakfast after getting off of work so I went to McDonald’s, the first one claimed it wasn’t open yet so I went an extra 20 mins down the road to this one. Chris had a great attitude and very helpful an insuring the biscuits were nicely fresh and hot, definitely will go back to that one and hope Chris gets some sort of recognition for his work.“

“Candice has got to be the most personable customer service orientated manager that I have ever met! Her employees all seem to respect her and pretty much ask her what else needs to be done with a smile on their face. I dont know if it's a daily thing, but she was scrubbing the baseboard while another girl was taking the chair legs rubber pieces off, and another scrubbing bathroom floors, all with smiles and great attitudes. She seems to be a great manager and I cant wait for my weekly trips just to see that crew work together so peacefully. Finally fast food with genuine hospitality! And food was fresh and hot, didn't mind waiting on fresh fries, the whole experience was definitely worth it!“

“I've really enjoyed it since it came back, but tonight's food is really disappointing. I'm not blaming the workers, it's the food itself. These fries aren't Checkers fries, they're a Great Value brand of them. Please don't let the quality fall apart to cut costs. It'll drive everyone away.“

“pancakes and sausage and coffee very good no forks or knives waiting on truck“

“There was a long line in the drive thru, and each order seemed to take longer than usual. The food was acceptable but not outstanding. The lady at the window was overworked but courteous. A busy day at lunchtime, I am sure that it will be better next visit.“

“This was the best Mcdonalds ive been too in a very long time, clean & very fast service. It is an up to date McDonald's the staff so very friendly the fries 🍟 so hot & fresh nuggets even better !!!! We will be back thanks again“
