Had to wait an hour just to get our drink order taken. It took over two hours to get served food. Will not be a returning customer.

Never a bad day. I go to Hickory Tavern for company lunches and personally. I try something new every time I go and it's always very good and hot. The wings are 10/10. Pow pow shrimp 10/10. The fried shrimp are huge and the fried broccoli was amazing. I can eat that as a main entree any day. My only wish is that I lived closer so I could go more often.

Food exceeded expectations! Far better than other bar food that I've had. I also arrived with eight people and there was no fuss about it, and the waitress was very kind. The atmosphere was not as loud as I expected, however bathroom music was booming. So if you have an autistic individual along with you, keep that in mind. Overall great time though!

Good decent bar food. I’m a pretty picky eater but I ordered takeout twice & was slightly surprised by the presentation of their bar food; as the food looked delicious and not thrown together. We ordered the shrimp, the cheesecake and a burger - they all met or slightly exceeded expectations. I’d try them again.

Discovered Hickory Tavern while attending USC basketballs games. Excellent pre-game & post-game meeting spot. Has become our weekly go to spot.

We went to Hickory Tavern after a concert. We have done this several times and the place is never crowded. The food was good. The server may have been new. He was unsure about a couple of questions we asked but never checked to make sure. We had to wave him down to get our check. We never saw him between dropping off our food and getting the check. He was nice enough but not very proficient.Parking: The lot is very small. We had to park two blocks away even tho the restaurant was only half full.

My friend is pregnant, and she ordered a corn beef sandwich, didn't agree with her taste buds, and they were willing to exchange her order and not charge her for food. That was very considered of them.

This is not a place you go to for service. The food is good, but after over a dozen visits, I'm seriously confused about whether the staff actually understands they have to interact with customers as part of their job. Their awkward avoidance is kinda sad and creepy but never rude. Hostess takes you to a table... says, "Is this okay?" while walking away...no menus no mention of a waiter. Wait < 10 min .... have to ask who our waiter is.... they've walked past our table multiple times, just ignoring us. Delivers food then never returns to offer refills or ask if you need anything...have to actually walk around to find them for your check to leave... THIS HAPPENS EVERY VISIT, no matter who the hostess or waiter is. Yes, as professional adults, my colleagues and I still tip.
