19 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.“

“We went on a busy Friday night, and all the staff were very respectful, kind, and helpful. The food was hot and fresh!! Valerie had the sweetest servant’s heart and took great care of us!! Very pleased!! We will be back many more times!!“

“Walk-up Dairy Queens are rare around here. We would give it five stars for its pure existence, but the customer service is almost always a little dead behind the eyes, so to speak. They also don’t use their windows effectively, creating a lot of crowding around the order window. If they used the other far window for serving like most walk-ups we’ve been to, it would make a huge difference.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“I grew up around whataburger and it's a hit or miss, however this one in hickory by far has been one of the cleanest and better service provided by far. The lady at the counter was very sweet gave us coupons for next time and the quick service was great. I def recommend it the one infront of the mall“

“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!“

“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.“

“We around 10:30 for lunch we ordered the minion meal and fries where cold went up to exchange them for hot fries said they had to drop some we finished eating all our food and had to go back up and ask for our hot fries and honestly they tasted reheated and smelled like old oil. Gross“
