Fantastic food, wonderful service. The pork chop had a perfect sear and the topping gave a really good fruity flavor. I liked that there was a separate room for large parties, it kept the overall ambiance relaxed. Dessert could have been better. It wasn't bad,it just didn't match the level of the food. We chose the apple dumplings. read more

Fourk - Steak - New American Near Me - Hickory, North Carolina

See all

Fourk is located in the Viewmount area of Hickory. They have a free parking lot across the street, and if that fills, there is street parking. The space is open with high ceilings. I admired the artwork. The cascading glass waterfall is what first caught my eye when I entered. Fourk has been open since 2015 and serves New American cuisine with a twist. I was warmly welcomed when I entered and got seated at a round booth with a great view, near the artwork that caught my eye. They really know how to treat single diners here, which is rare these days. I liked that I got the best table in the place, and that they didn't attempt to seat me at the bar. My waitress was friendly and incredibly attentive. She helped me select a mocktail while going over the daily specials, and she even brought me the dessert menu near the beginning of my meal so I could plan ahead. The menu had many options in all price ranges. You can get sandwiches, burgers, salads and more high-priced entrees like mahi mahi, scallops and filet mignon. I went with the daily special, which was the Oscar Filet Mignon. It came with hollandaise sauce and grilled shrimp, and that combination intrigued me. I had the Party Punch mocktail, but it was perfect with strawberries, basil, pineapple and ginger ale. The filet mignon and topping were also amazing. I even had room for dessert and knew I had to try the blackberry wine cake, and that didn't disappoint either. This was a very special meal for me, as it marked the first leg of my trip to finish visiting all 100 North Carolina counties. With the great atmosphere, service, and food, Fourk set the bar incredibly high for the rest of my journey. I might need to make another special trip just to dine here again. The murder mystery nights and the live music nights are an added plus. read more

We came for the dinner/magic show. Excellent decision. Dinner reservations were for 6:30 p.m. The magic show started at 8:30. The menu is pre-set with a few choices. We waited for our entrees for nearly an hour and twenty minutes, sipping on Decoy wine. We did receive our soup or salad in that time frame. When the pork chops arrived we were famished. These pork chops with Brussel sprouts and crispy yuca fries were the best. One person enjoyed the pasta entree. The dessert we chose was delicious blackberry wine cake. The magician had great personality and made his tricks fun and funny. He included an audience member for most of his acts. An hour later he allowed people to ask questions. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening at Fourk. read more

Fourk is the one, not the two. I don't frequent the Hickory area, yet this is a must when I'm there. Cute location with easy lot & street parking. Stellar service. And the food. For my most recent visit, I opted for the lamb chops at my PHENOMENAL server's suggestion. They did not disappoint--expertly cooked to my requested medium rare temp, wonderfully seasoned, & perfectly complimented by the most deliciously crisp yet tender hasselback potatoes & vegetable medley. Pro Tip: Thursday nights' live music will round your experience right on out. Cheers! read more

Fourk - Pork chop with mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts - New American Near Me - Hickory, North Carolina

I was really excited to come here, walked in hostess said no tables bar is first come first serve, bar had 2 seat we sat down Jamie, the rude bartender proceeded to tell us 3 times those seats were reserved and we needed to move...kinda interesting since it's first come first serve. He even talked to everyone left and right of us to see when they were leaving so we could move...tell you what we were prepared to spend $300 plus but we had 1 drink and left, bartender is rude and had no problem being rude....not a friendly place! read more

Fourk - Old fashioned - New American Near Me - Hickory, North Carolina

First time in Highland and by the time we arrived and got settled several places were closed. So we found Fourk and it was a treat! Friendly folks , welcomed us and sat us quickly. They entertained our questions and made good recommendations. The bartender was on time the cocktails and I'm sure he found us amusing. Desert was delish. It was a cozy atmosphere and the decor gave it some local character. It's a great place to go for good eats and to relax a bit. read more

We enjoyed our dinner at Fourk. We did not have reservations and initially were seated at a table underneath the air conditioning unit and it was freezing . The waitress could see that my teeth chattering and promptly suggested that we move tables and they adjusted the temperature. Much better! For Fri is we had an old fashioned and a lavender margarita which were well made. We like to try different things for dinner do we shared the Mediterranean trio, a summer salad and the Fourk chop. It was so nice of them to split our entree for us. Everything was very good especially the sauce on the pork chop and the yucca fries! Our server was excellent and took the yo e to chat with us. We will be back. read more

Solid food dishes, prepared very well, not finest dining cuisine type cooking but well-cooked. Buffalo bites are turkey-based which are unique. Pork chop, saffron polenta, broccolini, were cooked with quality. Duck was somewhat fried style, did not feel to be up to par with rest of dishes and a lower level. Overall, very solid food. read more

Forked in Hickory exceeded our expectations as we explored high end cocktails for our wedding. Although the Hugo Spritz wasn't on their menu, the staff was more than happy to accommodate our request, and it turned out to be absolutely delightful a drink we ultimately chose for our wedding. Additionally, the espresso martini also offered phenomenal flavors which we decided on for our second wedding cocktail. We also tried their take on a French 75. The ambiance was both sophisticated and relaxed, making Forked an ideal spot for a special date night. While we only tried the Caesar salad, which was fresh and satisfying, the rest of the menu looked exceptional, and I'm eager to return to explore more of their offerings. Forked is a must-visit for anyone seeking refined dining and creative drinks. read more

I had the pasta Caprese and added the broccolini and it was wonderful. We started with the hot honey Brussel sprouts and practically licked the plate clean. To end dinner our group shared the apple dumpling. The service was terrible from Miguel. He rushed us ordering, forgot to refill drinks, and walked away from us as we were talking to him. Which is why this rating is low. read more

Nothing to disappoint but The Fourkchop and the yucca was the favorite drinks on point

Fourk continues to be our Hickory favorite. The new Fall 2025 menu has some new offerings and keeps some longtime favorites. The 4th Street scallops were an instant hit for me. Patrick provided the excellent service we have come to expect at Fourk. I can't write a review without mentioning the blackberry wine cake, it's a perennial favorite and even if we don't have room for dessert we always get it to go. If you haven't tried Fourk you definitely should. read more

Overall ok. But service is slow when not busy and food was good but priced a bit on the high end to the type and quality. May not go back. We went early around 530pm. Place was empty but took forever to get drinks and food. Service for waiter was just ok. We had ahi tuna appetizer which was good. Pork chop, not so and duck breast good but only one piece. Like I said probably closer to 3 1/2 stars not necessarily fo back. read more

First of all, let me start by saying how excited I was to try this restaurant. The food was the stand out. My husband doesn't typically like food with random ingredients, but he raved about everything he ate. So for me that's a win. For me, my mahi wasn't edible because it tasted like the grill, but the underneath shrimp and mussels were amazing! Our server was so sweet. I wish I could remember her name, she was truly lovely. The decor was very clean and simple, but it was quite loud. My husband and I had a hard time making conversation. My main issues was my first impression. We walked in at 7:45 for our 8:00 reservation. I was greeted by the hostess and she was looking for us a table when, I'm assuming the manager, tells her while we are waiting, that I was wrong and I did not have a reservation. Since you do voicemail confirmation, I kindly told her that I have a voicemail confirming and said the name of the girl who left it. And she just looked at me and said "well she wasn't feeling well..." I was so uncomfortable with the whole interaction, that everything after that felt very off. She wasn't friendly at all and mine and my husbands impression was that she did not want us there. It was disappointing and everything felt flat for me after that. read more

Wifey and I went to see a friend's band open for Rehab so we had to pre-game lol . Fourk opens at 5 our reservations were for 5 but the hostess suggested a drink at the bar while our table was made ready - gee a drink before dinner what a concept so we agreed - a beer for me and a Lichee cocktail for the missus . She loved it !! We had the Lobster fondue as an app - delicious and had to take some home. Wife had the Honey-Chipotle salmon - loved it!!!! I had a special which was the ultimate food with a twist - grilled venison picanha steak with a Thai pepper sauce served with wagyu and bison sausage infused in couscous pearls fried potato's and an egg because why not? I would give 10 stars that's how good everything was !! read more

Awesome food, well prepared and even better served. We tried variety of cuisines with many vegetarian options, like Yuca fries, Mediterranean Trilogy, Mushroom Risotto, and everything was delicious. The dessert topped it all. We had stopped by on our way to Asheville based on a friend's recommendation, and we are so glad that we did. Highly recommend this gem in Hickory. read more

Fourk - New American Near Me - Hickory, North Carolina

Located in Viewmont, Fourk is one of the nicer new American restaurants in Hickory. Fourk has several seafood offerings, nice cocktails, and clean decor. You can park on the street or in nearby lots for free. For heavier eaters, you may want to order an appetizer and/or dessert as the entree portions aren't overly plentiful. For me, the portion and quality was great. One dish we ordered (salmon) was a bit under-seasoned. Fourk has reasonable bottled wine prices and a private event room for larger groups. Fourk allows consumers to purchase gift cards easily. read more

My husband made a reservation for our 28th anniversary and we were excited to try Fourk, since it seems pretty busy. We walked in at 6:20 (6:30 reservation) and checked in with hostess. She had no smile, or warm greeting. Just cold and unwelcoming. We felt like she did not want to be there. This should've been our clue for what was to come. We ordered two cocktails, two appetizers - crispy Brussels sprouts & "baked Brie", the seafood melange, minus the scallops & a rib eye steak. Cocktails were okay. Brussel sprouts were a greasy mess with some weird carrot topping on top. The "baked Brie" I put that in quotes because it's the weirdest, concoction I've ever seen. Not too hard to ruin that, but they did. It came in a flavorless, dark brown crust that looked like asphalt. There was no ooze to the cheese. It was tepid warm with EXTRA chewy, flavorless bread. I can see using crostini - to spread the cheese..never had anything like that before. After the apps and drinks, zero personality hostess..my hub and I were thinking, "wow, what's next?" After over an hour, our entrees arrived. Our server muttered something 50 mins in, that the "kitchen was working hard on our meals" then he quickly left. Husbands steak arrived looking charred. No steak knife - we had to flag down the server who started talking about mashed potatoes ??? My dish, the "seafood melange" was the grossest, tasteless, overcooked pasta dish I have ever had in a restaurant. Pretty sure the recipe is this: boil pasta until it's mush. Boil shrimp until it's white rubber, ZERO seasoning, zero garlic, zero anything to make it resemble a restaurant seafood pasta dish. Add 1 tsp of tomato sauce, a gallon of water, a sprinkle of micro greens and there's the "seafood melange." I couldn't eat it. Server took it away & plopped down the menu I said "no thank you." Manager came by table - "comped" the dish. (I didn't eat it). We spent over $100 & left starving. Funny - in looking at the reviews - another person wrote pretty much the exact thing I said about the Brie app & disgusting pasta dish. I'm not sure how this place is busy. $100 - anniversary dinner, left hungry. Olive Garden is a Michelin star restaurant over Fourk and they obviously don't change how the food is cooked if over 2 years ago, same descriptions of the tasteless pasta. Very disappointing. read more

Good atmosphere but we ordered three burger plates and all 3 were overcooked. All three had different sauces when we didn't ask for any sauces, strange. The pork chop was excellent.

Not only is the food amazing, the service is too. Fourk has never let me down from drinks, appetizers and main course.

I had high hopes for this place because I had never been here despite living in Hickory for a while and had constantly heard people talking it up. After going there TWICE, it turned out to be a huge disappointment. The hostess was cold and unwelcoming -- definitely not an upscale vibe like some people say. We waited a while before being seated, and when we finally did, the table wasn't even ready. They had a few seats at the bar, but the bartender was rude, and telling us repeatedly some of the seats were 'reserved,' even though the bar is first come, first served. We ended up leaving after only one drink, feeling utterly unwelcome. We came back another night with a reservation, the issues worsened. We were excited for live music, but again they seem to be reserving things for god knows who and why. The food was underwhelming at best. Watered down cocktails and a crusty baked brie appetizer that was dry, flavorless, and like cardboard. Where is the cheese in this? The seafood pasta was bland, overcooked, rubbery and unseasoned. My partner's pork chop and rice were flavorless and tough for teeth, haha. We had to ask for a steak knife for a charred steak -- extra hassle. The service is inconsistent -- our waiter barely checked on us, and when we asked about the long wait for our entrees, we were told the kitchen was 'working hard,' but honestly, it didn't feel like anyone cared. The vibe here just felt off. To make matters worse, the manager was nowhere to be found when we had issues with our meal, and when they finally showed up, our problems were barely acknowledged and we were seen as nothing more than a hassle. After spending over $100, we left hungry and dissatisfied. I don't get why people are complementing the tenderloins and other junk here. Maybe people haven't been to better restaurants in big cities before? This place is overpriced, overrated, and definitely not worth your time. Maybe just momentum from hype is keeping it going? Honestly, we could've had a better meal at an Olive Garden, which I hate with a passion. We are not coming back and not recommending this place. read more

First time trying this restaurant. I was definitely not impressed. My husband ordered chicken with Orzo and broccolini, the chicken was literally like rubber and that is not an exaggeration, could not cut it. Orzo was like mush and the broccolini as bad as the chicken. Sent it back did not replace the dish nor did a manager ever come to talk to us about it. I had scallops with brussel sprouts that were hard as rocks. The atmosphere is beautiful, but the food was subpar would not recommend this restaurant.. read more
