This was a terrible waste of time and money. The waitress was also rude and made a very ugly remark to my husband and I. I'm so shocked they have 4.6 stars I would give 0 if I could.

Crowded. Won't seat you unless your whole party is present. The zucchini bread is nice & fresh but the rest is highly overrated and not made in-house.

This Abilene staple serves food like what your grandma used to make. Simple and basic, not much to it except hearty sustenance and healthy doses of love and comfort. It can be difficult to get in - almost every time I've been, they've had a huge number of people waiting, so plan ahead.

4/2023 I went to a lot of trouble to be able to come to hickory street today for the first time during their very short hours in probably a year. My experience began with multiple phone calls that went unanswered over half an hour before I stopped trying. I needed to call in a to go. When I arrived at the restaurant there was a sign on the pick up window stating they weren't doing to gos that day. Had they answered the phone or added a recording I wouldve known. The hostess reiterated this when I told her I couldn't stay for the long wait because I had my dog in the car and it was hot. I take my support dog most places with me. My husband, who was working miles away, really wanted chicken salad from their restaurant however so I made the long trip to my house and back for a table. Once I was sat I ask if I could take some extra chicken salad with me. My waitress said the kitchen would not do even this because "they were short". I didnt understand that until I heard the very loud, snarky protests from the nearby kitchen in response to a different waitress asking for a to go salad for a table. "Ive already done x number of to go items so whats another!" "Whats it matter anymore". I felt bad for that waitress. Then later in response to a customer complaint "See thats why I try to ignore people!".Im sorry but I dont understand the logic behind such a rigid no to go policy coupled with no phone answering or a recording to inform the customer. It is flat inconsiderate towards patrons. How does it change the time invested in an order anyway? It probably doesn't take as much time to wait a table as it does to bag an order. Why can't an exception be made when someone has an animal in the car and had no means of knowing about your policy in advance? The food was ok and to me the place is way over hyped.. I wont be returning or recommending.

An hour wait for a salad and soup. That was nothing special. We watched others get their food before us, and the waitress apologized, but did nothing about it. Haven't been in years, now I remember why.

Very cute place. I had quiche with a serving of their chicken salad, cup of soup and zucchini bread. It was all delicious.
Cozy ambience, almost like you're eating at home. The food is cooked with care and with quality ingredients. Very reasonable pricing. You won't be disappointed.

This place is a cute little lunch spot. Everything is fantastic! They are known for their chicken salad and the zucchini bread which as they should be. They claim zucchini bread is a vegetable which yes let's make that a movement. Everything is delicious. It is a very small place so make reservations if you can. Because it is so small, there are often only around 2 waitresses for the entire place so pack your patience and maybe don't expect refills to keep flowing but otherwise it's great!

You need to hire someone that knows how to cook. This used to be a go to lunch spot. But now it’s like they know the recipes but don’t know how to cook. Crust was raw. Soup was water, corn starch and three pieces of broccoli. One of which was inedible. Even the ranch dressing tasted watered down. So disappointing when a business sells to new owners.
This was a terrible waste of time and money. The waitress was also rude and made a very ugly remark to my husband and I. I'm so shocked they have 4.6 stars I would give 0 if I could.
