    Pork Chop Dinner Special
    Noelle A.

    Each and every time the food is fantastic! The chef is creative and we've never gone wrong with a special or anything on the menu! Service has been great! Miriam and Bethany have taken great care of us each time we come in! Quaint looking from the outside, warm and cozy on the inside. Has a private room and plenty of seating for small and large parties as well as a full bar. Don't sleep on HFK, this will be a place where there is always a wait once the word spreads.

    Generous four-stars but really hoping they live up to it soon. Nicely renovated with nice ambiance (nothing special or memorable though) and plenty of light. Disappointed that each booth didn't seem very private at all. The aisles were pretty tight, so tables across were pretty close. The bar area looked like a decent attempt but with the door to the kitchen right there, I can imagine it wouldn't be great on a busy evening. The music wasn't obtrusive and barely noticeable. The hostess seemed very unsure and struggled to figure out where to seat two of us also with the need for a high chair since the center booths are all raised. We just awkwardly stood there waiting as she started to clean a table for us then came back only to seat another couple behind us before finishing cleaning the table and finally seating us. She was not particularly friendly and I'm not sure she even smiled ever at us let alone greeted us when we arrived. The server was nice but I'm not sure she ever smiled either. Pretty attentive refilling waters. Never suggested add-ons or offered us appetizers or desserts. Food took quite a while for lunch service but we were ok with the wait. Our server apologized. The bistro steak salad was pretty good but way too much dressing hidden in there (I should have asked for dressing on the side) and my steak that was supposed to be medium but was quite red and raw in the middle and not seared on the outside which would have added more flavor. It was still decent and a big portion but also wish it came with croutons or a roll. My friend's chicken panini was good but looked skimpy and lackluster. She said it was dry and lacked sauce but still was pretty spicy. She said her fries were very good. It's the prices that were a shocker when first seeing the menu. The ambiance and food didn't warrant the prices. And certainly not the service. Another reviewer said there was a 4% surcharge for credit card processing but I was busy with my friend and a fussy baby by that point and didn't notice it on my bill. It certainly isn't on the menu. I really want it to succeed and will try it again, just I will bring cash and plenty of it.

    Hickory Flat Litchen did not disappoint for an impromptu lunch date. Service was great and the food was to die for. We sat on their cute little patio which got nosey because Saturday in HF! Lots of cocktails to choose from!

    I took my family to this restaurant to celebrate my daughter's 21st birthday. We really liked the…read moredecor and aesthetics of the restaurant. I had heard many good things about the menu and could not wait to try out several dishes. We tried a couple of appetizers. The pimento cheese fritters were incredible and I loved the sauce it came with. We also tried the Parker house rolls, which were perfect for dipping in our shrimp scampi. We also tried the burrata caprese which was absolutely phenomenal. My daughter, the birthday girl had the summer into fall pasta which was very light and fresh. We also ordered a couple of drinks from the bar. I had a champagne supernova and my daughter had a lavender lemonade. For dessert, we had whiskey chocolate pecan pie and buttermilk pie. Our server was friendly and attentive. You cannot go wrong eating at this establishment. It's perfect in every way.

    Arrived on a busy Monday night. Hostess said it's always busy on Mondays because so many other…read morerestaurants are closed. Was told it would be a 20 minute wait (we were there around 6:30pm) which was fine given that if we left and tried to go anywhere else, it would have taken that much time anyway. Several others came in after us and were told similar or longer times. Hostess mentioned to us that it was crowded inside because it was so hot on the patio. After all the others kept arriving, I happened to ask if the patio was closed and she said no, to which I said we were actually fine sitting out there. Then, all the other parties waiting said the same thing, so we all got seated immediately. Hubby had the special which was meatloaf. I had the burrata salad with added grilled chicken. Mine was the perfect size for a light but filling dinner. My husband said his was good too and even recommended it to a lady who asked about it from a nearby table. He even got a free cupcake for his birthday. Service has always been very friendly. Ambiance inside can get rather noisy, but the patio was better even with cars and a plethora of Amazon trucks going through the roundabout. Temp actually wasn't too bad. Fans, shade, and a little breeze helped. Glad I asked about patio!

    We used to be regulars, and then we stopped going. The food isn't bad and for Canton the restaurant…read moremenu fits in nicely. So why 3 stars? It's the drink prices. No one in town charges more for a beer than this place. For example, I enjoy local IPAs and Creature Comforts (Athens) is everywhere. I can go to several other stops in town and pay less for a 16 oz can or pour of this beer. Compared to another decent stop down the street, three roses is almost 30% more. My wife says one of the wines she likes is a little less than other stops, so that's good. But other drink prices tend to be on the high side as well, but most in town have higher liquor prices. That adds up if you like to frequent a place. Hence, we stopped frequenting. Overall, I like the decor and as noted, the food is decent. The upstairs is better than the downstairs but I'm glad they have the downstairs for some occasion when they could get busy. As for the Tavern / entertainment element, I've never seen any live music but they have several TVs. Not sure this would be my top choice to watch a game but it would work in a pinch if the other places were too busy or noisy.

I sat on the main level which had mostly booths (for 4 & 2 persons), half booths, bar seats, and a few tables. The interior was classy, but the ambiance was not. The mood was ruined by whiny acoustic music, probably picked by the staff and not for the customers. I can normally tune it out, but the uncharacteristic F*bombs coming from the speakers were a mood killer. And while waiting for my meal I heard the following exchange from the kitchen: "Your late!" "Are you going to fire me? Please send me home!" The hostile attitudes in the kitchen was unfortunately reflected in the meal. I ordered the fish and chips, and the fries were nicely cooked. The crust on the fish also looked good. But the fish inside was watery and unpleasant. It was also topped with a mass of cilantro sprigs, which did not pair with the flavors. I managed to scrape them all off. The fish was served with vinegar, ketchup, and (missing) tartar sauce. The friendly and attentive waitress was quick to correct the missing sauce, although it did take awhile. My meal also came with a side of slaw that would have been outstanding if the kitchen hadn't made a misstep of loading it with too much salt. The other seasonings in the slaw were excellent and unique and the addition of red onions was great, but sadly ruined by the saltiness. At the end of my meal I visited their modern and stylish restrooms. I'd arrived just after 5PM and on this weekday there were only a few patrons. So the stylish furnishing of the restroom were marred by the mess I encountered in there. Based on the number of employees compared to patrons, there wasn't an excuse for not cleaning that bathroom. I've seen truckstop restrooms that weren't that nasty.
