“We visited on 8-30-25. I stopped by with my youth group to get a bite to eat after a day at Carowinds. Shatel was the manager working that day. We had around 25 kids and I stopped by without calling ahead(I know shame on me) but I had confidence in this place as my family eats here almost every Sunday. Let me tell you, the staff working that day was on it. They worked hard and took all of our orders and got the fresh, made when you order delicious food out in a timely manner to all of our youth. They were so nice and respectful and did not act the least bit flustered with us. They did all of this while taking care of other customers as well. I just wanted to come on here and brag about how well they did. We love this Culvers. This isn't just an ordinary fast food restaurant. They make you feel right at home when you are here. The managers are fantastic and so are all of the staff. I have never had a staff member be rude to me. Go and support this Culvers if you are craving delicious fresh made food. I promise you won't be disappointed.“

“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!!!“

“Very delicious food and great service.“

“Great vibe and food! Highly recommend!“

“Angie was absolutely amazing! Friendly and prompt. Food was delish!“

“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.“

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

“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“

“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!“

“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 🙏🏻“

“Absolutely delicious Thanksgiving dinner we ordered! Staff helped me load to my car and it was ready when I arrived. The Turkey was smoked and my whole family loved it. The sides were very delicious as well, a lot better than what you get at the grocery store. I loved the sweet potatoes and cranberry sauce the best. Tastes homemade and absolutely amazing!! Thank you!!“

“Absolutely awesome place, possibly the best nachos in ballantyne if not all of Charlotte. Also, it is one of the best places to watch the Commanders. Great atmosphere, awesome specials…..Go Commanders!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Great food and service! 👍👍“

“Best lunch I have had in a while. Will be going back often.“

“Friendly workers..great food“

“From the moment we walked in, we were greeted. The gentleman at the register was very helpful in explaining the menu options and what suited a group of 4. The family pack was portioned well and more than enough food for the price. They brought out the food and were all very friendly. The ribs and pulled pork were delicious. The potato salad was perfect and the peach cobbler was still hot with great flavor and texture. I just wish they had more drink options. Everything was clean including the bathrooms. Overall a great experience!“

“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! We ordered enough, but people went back for 2nd & 3rds! Banana pudding was the “excellent” cherry on top! They are our favorite BBQ place in town, especially the Brisket!!!“
