“I had a VERY long day. At 10:30 PM I remembered Hickory Tavern's 50% off burger is today/Tuesday. Thankfully, I'm only 2 min away from the restaurant. Only 2 customers remained, and the employees were preparing for tomorrow. The manager and the staff was amazing!
I ordered the hickory burger! Ales was exceptional!!!! My burger 🍔 was delish!!!“

“Ayyyeee that burger smacking so good makes you want to go for round 2 the. Fires let me tell you something probably the best ones I had, never cold always fresh off the fryer, ohh and dont get me started on the root beer float with that custard so fresh, makes you wanna question all the other places, now that burger i can honestly say ill fight anyone for it, one of the best spots in town a must place to stop“

“Great atmosphere and Leanne runs a great team and Krystal and Jamie are the servers/bartenders to have! Always deliver a great experience and great food! 11/10 recommend“

“I don’t know who’s working tonight but they must be in a great mood because this is the first time I’ve ordered fries through doordash where I didn’t feel robbed by the portion they gave me. I’m going to continue supporting regardless of the french fry theft because doordashing Hickory Tavern is my favorite way to treat myself, and a little toxic has never scared me. However, it’s nice to feel like I was given a fair portion for the price for once. A win for big momma.“

“Our WAITRESS TONIGHT (AMANDA) Was a GEM Despite How BUSY IT was She was ON IT🫶🏾“

“Towne Tavern is our favorite local watering hole! The staff are super friendly and make the place, especially Amanda and Andie. The daily specials and bingo/music bingo give something fun to do. I work from home so getting out of the house for fun and hanging out with the locals is what it’s all about. We’ve been coming to the place for a while and think the food has been so much better under new management. Definitely check it out if you haven’t been!“

“Great food! Great atmosphere! Laid back and chill!!“

“Very cool place and good service with the good wines!“

“I wish I got some pictures, but if you’ve been to a Hickory Tavern before they look the same.
Our server Cali super nice and responsive.
We had their new THC drinks from grind with gratitude and they were great!
Definitely will be back“

“I’ve been coming to this location for 5-6 years now, the food has been consistently high quality from day one. All the dishes taste exactly how you would expect the dish to taste, but even better. Thank you for all of the years of outstanding service 🙏🏻“

“Solange es Restaurants wie dieses gibt versuche ich die üblichen Burger-Ketten zu vermeiden! Der Service ist freundlich mit Herz, Humor und gut organisiert. Die Damen haben alles super unter Kontrolle. Das Essen wird auf Bestellung zubereitet, ist lecker und die Portionen reichlich. Das Ambiente passt und macht den Flair aus.“

“I typically enjoy the food. Fish always good. I have to tell them every time to fix my tenderloin tip veggies soft or they will be practically raw. My main complaint is Shika the girl who answers the phone to take your order has a getto attitude problem!!!! Why is she answering the phone? I do not understand because as the first contact she is not friendly but just rude!“

“Great food and service! 👍👍“

“We hired Dan & Debbie to cater our sons graduation party for 60 people! The food arrived on time, hot and tasted amazing!!! It was a hit and all the brisket, turkey & chicken wing went fast!
