What a find! This place has sandwiches, quesadillas, flatbreads and more. Their menu makes sure to mark a "v" next to vegetarian items and there's a ton of them. Everything tastes so good. You can't go wrong with any of it. The vibe inside is so relaxed. They have tons and I do mean tons of beers on tap as well. Whether you want to hang out with friends or have a dinner with a drink, this is it! The dark walls and slow music they play really bring the tone down and let you relax. Even though it's got a decent size bar, it's not overly loud. You could definitely bring your family earlier in the day and enjoy good food together. The service is outstanding and the guy that runs the food out seems like he knows everyone in the building. We had a very nice waitress that hustled throughout the room getting orders with the quickness. Even as busy as it was there never seemed to be a table or patron neglected. Anyone near downtown Hickory should make this a regular place and those out of towners looking for something comfortable with a different twist like tofu shawarma would love this restaurant. read more

See all

This was the most delicious veggie burger I have ever eaten! I ordered for take out but the ambience looked like it would have been fun if I could have stayed. read more

Me and my boyfriend stopped by for a quick bite before heading back to charlotte (I'm glad we did) My boyfriend got the pimento sandwich which was absolutely delicious. I got a BYO flatbread VERY cheesy (in a good way) and the pepperoni was so tasty, they also have a beer menu if you're into that :) There were only two people working the floor but, they were both very quick and polite. 5 out of 5 stars read more

The food is amazing and the staff is super friendly! The club sandwich is my personal favorite!

This is a place you can walk by without noticing it's open. There is natural light only when somebody opens the door. At the same time, it's friendly and comfortable. I sat at the bar and had the beer the bartender suggested after she asked me a question or two, which was to my liking. The Cuban sandwich was on special for lunch, so I ordered that with potato and leek soup. Both were excellent. For purists, the Cubano is a little off (ciabatta bread instead of a Cuban roll, which may not be available in Hickory, and more ham than roast pork, when it should be the other way around). But the flavor profile was right on, and it was delicious. Good food, good service, reasonable prices, and even the restroom was clean. Works for me. read more

Very cool atmosphere. Service was good. My issue is that they don't actually cook food hete. They have a conveyor, as they described it, that heats food. So my vegan Creole burger that could have been yummy grilled goodness was mushy. No Smokey grill flavor, really, no flavor. The side of potato salad had some weird off flavor. I would call it anchovy but it should not be that since this is a place with vegan and vegetarian clientale. My dinner was fairly inedible and I am not picky about food. Wine offerings, since I can't tolerate gluten, were Wente and they charged per glass what a bottle costs. I would love to come here again because it's a really chill place but I have no idea what I would eat or drink. My husband didn't finish his sandwich or beer and he is a big guy who needs fuel. read more

Tasty sandwiches, great spot to have lunch while shopping in town. Atmosphere is more like a local bar.

What a great find! We wanted something healthy and tasty and this place was perfect! We were greeted by a very nice lady and felt instantly welcomed! This place did not disappoint, food was amazing, so tasty (and healthy) and arrived quickly too. A hidden gem, I definitely think we will be back! Oh, prices were very reasonable too! read more

Great spot, food was delicious. Huge selection of beer on draft. Service was great. Plenty of options for carnivores and vegi-vores alike. Music was retro rock and easy to listen to. read more

Crescent Moon Cafe - Interior - American Near Me - Hickory, North Carolina

Casual atmosphere with the local vibe. Great place for after work or a casual dinner with friends. I was surprised how tasty the flatbread was and totally impressed they offered dairy free cheese for those of us with an allergy!! Extra stars for this! Service was quick and efficient. read more

Passing through town and looking for something other than a fast food chain. Reviews were good and I thought i'd give Crescent Moon Cafe a try. It was a good choice. There was not much of a crowd, in fact, only two tables were occupied. Everyone else was seated at the bar. It had a nice friendly vibe, service was friendly and attentive, and the mango quesadilla I ordered was excellent. if you happen to be in the neighborhood, I would highly Recommend the crescent moon Café. read more

Great neighborhood spot with super friendly staff and customers as well! Tucked away but worth the find.

This restaurant and bar "ups the game" for the Hickory food scene. There is an abundance of food for vegetarians and carnivores. It has an extensive beer list. My wife and I will return soon. It is a hidden gem hiding in plain sight. read more

Crescent Moon Cafe - The Rover with Turkey - American Near Me - Hickory, North Carolina

This is the seriously most awesome place to hang out in Hickory. I love the food and atmosphere and the wait staff are absolutely amazing.

You sometimes have to make yourself known because it can get a little loud & busy, but everyone is super friendly & eager to help once you do. Everything I've had from the menu has been delicious, from mixed drinks to appetizers to dinners. There are great vegetarian options, the prices are extremely reasonable, AND they are open late!!! I recommend Crescent Moon to sit & eat or grab for take out. I've now done both several times without any disappointment. read more

Always a cool place to hang out with friends. I look forward to returning. I love the meat and cheese boards

Food was cooked fast and available pick up was quick. Recommend at lunch hours. Had the chicken salad, finely chopped and a salad.

Delicious salad. Great beer selection. Service very friendly. Worth the trip. Casual atmosphere .

Pretty typical bar food with a rotating beer selection on tap. Both their flatbread and the nachos were very tasty, and the dartboard in the back sealed the deal. The best date night we've had in a while; we can't wait to go back! read more

Crescent Moon Cafe - Margherita flatbread and pulled pork nachos. - American Near Me - Hickory, North Carolina

Really great vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free, and gluten-free options at affordable prices. It seems like one of the few places around here that have these allergy/sensitivity options, plus the food was really good. We enjoyed the nachos with vegan cheese and fresh spicy salsa. The sandwiches were flavorful and there was a good selection of beer too. Waiter was definitely overworked and hopping around but was very nice and accommodating. Brought our food outside for us. This was a surprising find and we enjoyed our meal here!! read more

Crescent Moon Cafe - Nachos grande with vegan cheese - American Near Me - Hickory, North Carolina

A varied menu and prompt service in a space that had a pub feel to it. I had a margherita flat bread, my husband and son ordered sandwiches. We all enjoyed our meals and felt the portions were just right. Had we not been passing through, perhaps we would have tried an ale off their extensive drinks menu. read more

This place offers vegetarian fare which is so hard to find in Hickory. Not only do they offer it, they offer a huge variety of options. It is really nice to be able to look over a menu with so many vegetarian options. The tomato stack, if I recall the name correctly, is delicious. All the tempeh and veggie styles burgers are delicious as well. I highly recommend to any vegetarians in town. read more

The food was great the beer was good and the waitstaff was great.! And I can't say much more about my experience at the crescent moon cafe

It was nice but not the healthiest choice. We got food to go. It's a small town, so I guess that is the best they have. Better than fast food chains. read more

This was our first meal at the Crescent Moon Cafe and we hope that it will not be our last. We ordered the BBQ Sammy, the Pimento, the Titan, and the Black bean burger. Everything was delicious and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. The staff was friendly and welcoming and our food arrived in good time. The ambiance is tavern-like - casual with a fun vibe. Totally recommend this restaurant! read more

Great consistent food. The owner is a very nice person who truly cares about his customers and the quality of their offerings from food to alcohol. read more

The restaurant has a cool atmosphere and it was very clean. The food was just OK but the person that I went with really enjoyed the pimento cheese dip. It is located in the older downtown area of Hickory and it is fun to walk around that area. Our waitress wasn't the friendliest but she was OK. I would go back again. read more

This place seems to get lost in the shadow of uber-popular Hatch next door, but it shouldn't. Give it a try. FWIW, I'm not a beer drinker, and their beer selection does seem to be a top draw here. But the food here is really good. Atmosphere is chill. I've only been for lunch a few times, and it was always quiet. Service is very friendly and helpful. I would give 4.5 stars if I could, only because the service has always been provided from folks working behind the bar, almost as if the dining area was an add-on. But the food didn't seem at like an afterthought; it's been genuinely good. It's worth rounding up to 5 stars. read more

Good food and service, nice local spot. We just stopped by on the way to the mountains and found them.

Stopped by on the way to Asheville area-great little place, good food, awesome beer selection and live music!

Love the food!! And the gentleman there working is very pleasant however the waitress can be a bit prickly depending on the day

What an amazing beer selection they have. The cheese tray is right on time. The energy is always good. It's a local treasure.
