11 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.“

“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.“

“I was having an argument with my brother about which burger was better, a whataburger or five guys burger? However I had never eaten a five guys burger. So I decided to give the five guys burger a try to settle the argument with my brother. I have to say, I see the difference in the taste quality when it comes to both places. Five guys burger has a taste quality that doesn’t get old. After a few times at whataburger which was great at first, however I began to get tired of it. Five guys wasn’t only refreshing but an amazing burger. Seriously the taste doesn’t get old. Only complaint I would have is, five guys needs ranch to serve to their customers. Other than that Kudos!“

“Leslie was great ! Ended up being a rush when we got in but the food was served in a timely manner was absolutely delicious !!’ 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!“

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

“OK, wait is long“

“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!“

“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.“

“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 .“
