Copper Penny Grill in Hickory was a great first experience, and we will definitely be back. The…read morefood, drinks, atmosphere, and service all exceeded our expectations. We ordered the Cedar Plank Salmon, and the bourbon bacon glaze was outstanding. We also tried the Buffalo Chicken Flatbread, which had the perfect balance of cool ranch flavor and just the right amount of spice. For drinks, we enjoyed the Bananas Foster Old Fashioned, Maple Old Fashioned, and the Gummy Flight. Each one was well-crafted and delicious. One of the highlights of this location is the waterfront setting. We requested outdoor seating and were seated on the upper-level deck overlooking the water. There was live music at the lower-level outdoor bar on Saturday night, and we could still enjoy the music from our table upstairs while taking in the view. We were seated quickly, and every staff member we interacted with was friendly, attentive, and helpful. Although Copper Penny Grill has multiple locations, the Hickory location's waterfront atmosphere makes it especially memorable. If you're looking for great food, creative cocktails, live music, beautiful views, and excellent service, Copper Penny Grill in Hickory is well worth a visit. We look forward to returning and trying more of the menu.

We were seated promptly by our waiter, TJ. My order, Asian Chicken wrap, was delicious, and was a very generous portion. I had truffle fries on the side, also delicious. Everyone agreed that their food was outstanding. TJ, our waiter, was a standout part of the experience. He was very personable, prompt, checking on our needs, refilling drinks, etc, even though his area had filled up very quickly and he had many tables to keep an eye on. No complaints on any aspect of this experience, and if you want the very best service, ask for TJ!

For food, I ordered the fried pork chops with Mac and cheese and mashed potatoes (gravy on the side). While fried pork chops were tasty and well seasoned, the mashed potatoes had the perfect texture but lack any seasoning. Very very plain. Mac n cheese was a hard pass. I ate one noodle and quickly pushed the whole bowl to the side. I also had a margarita, usually a pretty easy drink to make. This one had a bit too much sour mix. My husband had the ribs with mashed sweet potatoes and parmesan French fries. The sweet potatoes and ribs were tasty but fries were a pass. Our server was very sweet and attentive. Overall, it was a mixed experience. Some parts were really good, others not so much. But don't let this review deter you from trying Backstreets as we love the Columbia location.

We nearly walked right back out, but noticed the condition of the rest of the dining room was ok. PLEASE get new carpet. Other than that, Fantastic.
