The service was a little slow and it seemed like some customers were not happy with that. I think they could use some more training in customer service. There were multiple young people working but no one seemed to be a leader which made things difficult. Hope to visit again while at our lake house. The desserts were good and tasted great. We didn't try any food since we had already eaten.

The Hickory House has been around a long, long time. It still looks like the old road house it…read moreonce was and is clearly divided between 'the bar' and 'the buffet'. There is no menu at Hickory House and little decor and no ambience, you come for the buffet, that's what you get. For $10.99 plus a drink, you will get the most awesome ribs you will find around Pomme de Terre lake. The fried chicken is perfect and crisp and juicy without being greasy. Hot, spiced, boiled shrimp, which I hadn't seen done right in years. I was in heaven! There was also Catfish, but I'm not a fan, so I didn't have any although many diners were filling their plates with the filets. Also on the buffet were a couple of vegetables of the day, when I went it was corn on the cob and fried okra. I didn't understand why they would put out whole, foil wrapped baked potatoes and halved, 'twice baked' potatoes as the only two starch selections. That could have been thought out a bit better. But you can hardly go wrong with a baked potato, so that was okay. The twice baked were very, very dry, so I passed on that. Decent salad selection; green salad, a couple of mayonnaise based vegetable salads, some fresh fruit and for dessert, banana pudding or the sheet cake of the day. The cake of the day I went was a deep, dark chocolate with a cream cheese glaze. We got there early, so that cake was still warm from the oven when the put it out. I couldn't pass it up. On an interesting side note, about two years ago, Hickory House had "The Kentucky Headhunters" as part of a July 4th weekend celebration. For whatever reason, Mr. Man and I decided not to go at the last minute. All through dinner, we berated ourselves for passing that up. It's easy to see that when they can afford a live act in the bar side, everything on the buffet side gets pushed against the wall or carted off to make room. I'm sure they rocked it and to have heard "Dumas Walker" in that intimate setting would have been sweet! Ah, regrets... The vibe of the place is awesome, the food was very good, the service and friendliness of the staff was exceptional. We will definitely be going there again. The place opens around 4:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

Mr. Man and I stopped by for breakfast on a Friday morning and he ordered the breakfast buffet for…read more$7.95. BB choices were B&G, scrams, link sausage, bacon and french toast. I wanted to order off the menu and the $2.95 special of the day was listed as "Silver Dollar Pancakes and Sausage". Pancakes sounded good, so I ordered and Mr. Man headed to the buffet. He tried to eat as slowly as he could as I waited, and waited, and waited. After thirty minutes, I was served eight tiny cold pancakes, yes, they were no bigger than a silver dollar, they weren't kidding on that - one bite each. The cold pancakes were not handled well; torn and smooshed. Since the two link sausages came off the buffet, I can assume it was the server letting the pancakes sit cold, but when she set the plate in front of me and I exclaimed "Really? I waited thirty minutes for THIS?", she promptly blamed it on a disorganized kitchen, because they weren't that busy. The place was maybe, maybe 1/3 full. Bottom line is that the waitresses did an awesome job of ignoring the customers and the kitchen did an even better job of not sending out food on time or hot. Mr. Man said the breakfast buffet was okay, nothing extraordinary nor offputting. The best cafe on Pomme de Terre lake, "Outfitters" in Nemo, closed last January and the search for a decent breakfast joint for us weekenders continues because Tadpole's failed miserably. We will absolutely NOT be back.
