The food is great, cooking at its finest. The bill was lower than expected too, the service was friendly and super fast. Highly recommend to everyone.

Windy City Grill (aka Homers) is a cozy little restaurant that sits on highway 127 in the Viewmont neighborhood of Hickory, NC. This is a must go to place when you are in town. They offer a variety of options or you can go for breakfast and get a livermush, egg, and cheese ? or you can go for lunch and get one of their famous cheeseburgers. You can go through the drive thru or you can go inside and sit at a booth or sit at the counter and be waited on. Personally, I prefer to go inside and sit at the counter. It's a more personal experience. The employees here are top notch. They are super friendly and very polite. I guess you can say that this is a good ole hometown diner. Please, if you're in town visiting Hickory, stop by and grab a burger at Windy City Grill. You won't be disappointed. ?Parking: There's about 6-8 spots in the front, but there are a few more in the rear of the building.

Haven't eaten here in a while due to the last time food was yucky. No different this time. Hot dog was ok, two double cheeseburgers were cold and the patties were gray and very tasteless frozen patties. Tater tots were cold and greasy where they sit in that odd glass case. Much better home town cafes and diners to eat at than here.

Food and service were outstanding. It was a bit loud with the crowd and the drive thru but we enjoyed our breakfast and our conversation. Always a great spot for breakfast reminiscent of the good old days.
If you're looking for a great, home-cooking, budget-friendly place this is it! Breakfast was awesome, service was fantastic, and price can't be beat! I got 2 eggs, livermush, tater tots, and 2 pieces of toast plus coffee for $7, including tax!!!

Stopped in early this morning, Saturday, and no issues finding a seat at a table. Definitely a local vibe. Ordered the managers' special, 2 eggs, grits, choice of meat, grits, and toast. Can't beat the price. Good, fast, and friendly service. Looks small from the outside, and realistically, it is, but there's a good size counter in addition to the tables. And a drive-thru.

My husband and I LOVE this place. The service is great. The people are friendly and it has a "Cheers" vibe to it. I would say they definitely have their regular customers (us included). We love to get the fish sandwich. It's a large fillet on a bun and I get it with tarter and the slaw on the side (I like to add the amount I want). When I'm feeling more carnivorous the double jalapeno burger can't be beat. It's got peppers and pepper jack cheese. Of course we always have to split the onion rings and tater tots.

This place used to be awesome and I usually like the food but over time I’ve noticed a decrease in food quality, at least for breakfast. The gravy biscuits taste so plain now, like no salt at all was add to the gravy. My husband and went by today for breakfast( drive thru) they charged us for everything but left half of our order out. We’ve never had that problem before so didn’t even think to check it. ?
