    Pretzel Bites and queso
    Holly D.

    The pretzel bites were buttery and salty, the queso dip was a tasty complement to the pretzels. The specialty drinks were tasty.

    Customer service and ambience was good. Went to listen to the 80s band Kids in America who was absolutely awesome. The food fell flat for me tho. I got the lemon pepper wings and flavor was good but I should have asked for them to be cooked longer, was very rubbery. I tried shrimp tacos too and not much seasoning. Honestly couldn't really see any seasoning on the shrimp, would have been awesome if they were blackened but they seemed like was just boiled in water and placed in the taco. I wouldn't order again but it was other items on the menu I'd go back and try.

    Jordan was the best recommending drinks and dinner food. A great place for our Friday night! Nachos were amazing. And Cobb salad was great with the strawberry lemon drop martini.

    Asian Power Bowl with Ahi Tuna side of wasabi cucumber and bacon sauce

    Food - 5/5 Service / friendliness - 10/5 Organization for large groups - 2/5 Stopped at Hickory Tavern for a post memorial service lunch with about 30 people. It took a few hours for everyone to order and get their food. I think the location was not well equipped to handle such a large party at once. When we did order our food, our waiter was very kind and friendly. I believe he got everything mostly correct too (my food was at least.) The Asian power bowl was great. The tuna was cooked well, everything tasted fresh and it was plated beautifully. I also ordered a side of tater tots with a few sauces. Everything was super tasty. The bartender even made me a delicious Moscow mule mocktail. She was so friendly and awesome. I think I experienced what some refer to as southern hospitality. All in all, definitely check out Hickory Tavern. They have a huge menu with lots of options for different dietary preferences, but if you're going with an extensively large group, have a snack before hand or maybe consider an establishment more well equipped for large parties like a banquet hall. I wish I was in the area longer because I would have loved to have went back for lunch or dinner with just my husband.

    Garlic Parmesan wings and onion rings
    J S.

    We came in about one hour and fifteen minutes before closing on a Sunday night. Final weekend hour isn't always a great idea but we are not from this area and were in desperate need of a hot meal! We weren't rushed, the food was fresh, and the bathrooms were clean. Only complaint: Couldn't get seated in a comfy booth and the TVs were really very loud - everything else was great. Pow Pow Shrimp amazed me, fried shrimp and big broccoli pieces all fried up with a super spicy sauce. This dish on a bed of white rice or noodles with some sliced cucumber would be a dream, just sayin. Delicious. Thanks, Chef. I had eight garlic parm wings with onion rings, loved it. Took some home cause it was a lot! My mother got the classic burger and sweet potato fries, she housed it (impressive for her!). Will definitely come back!

    Very good gastropub. Went during post-lunch time frame. Parking is ample with area Farms shopping area around corner. Had burgers (all of us did) and were savory - even tho mine was goofed from one type too classic. It was still good so a non-issue for me. Facility is nothing to brag about. Service of wait staff kept up - but seemed recovering from being overwhelmed right beforehand.

    Service was good. Food was horrible. Wings looked like they were boiled and not sauced well at all.

    We were looking for a place to eat before skipping town that could accommodate a small group (6…read moreadults and a baby) and a dog. We went across the street and they didn't allow dogs on the patio so a quick Yelp search led us to Jack Beagles. With a dog in the name, I figured it would be dog friendly and I was right... it's event dog friendly inside which was great since we had the baby and it was hot out. They were happy to seat us in the dining room and since breakfast was about to end and lunch was about to start, we had the option of both. Some ordered breakfast and a few of us order the tenders because our server said it was one of the most popular items. I don't normally go for tenders at a new place, but they had garlic parm which drew me in. They were pretty great and served with waffle fries. My buddy got this massive burger that I was eyeing as well and I had a little bit of food envy when it came out. It was called The Big Bear and was sporting 2 Patties, 2 X Bacon, 2 x White American Cheese, Pickled Jalapeno, and Chipotle Aioli. I would definitely try that next time. Only odd thing was that when the burger came out, my buddy asked for a knife other than a butter knife to cut it since it was so big. Instead of offering to bring it to the kitchen to cut it, she came out from the back to say they don't have any steak knives and the only sharp ones are with the cook. No big deal, but a little odd. Anyway, we had a great lunch before hitting the road that accommodated all of our needs.

Our visit happened to be during Charlotte Hot Chicken Week so of course we had to try their special! For only $8 you could get the Nashville hot chicken sandwich. It was really good! The Chicken was nice and crispy, not too spicy and the thick cut pickles really brought it all together. Also enjoyed were the Botz burger and cheese fries. I loved how they choose to serve waffle fries over regular fries. There is just so much texture and flavor going on there. They have a big menu of mac and cheese dishes that sound super interesting so maybe we'll try that next!

Despite it being packed, we were seated immediately because we said we would take an outdoor table. As soon as the server came to our table to take our drink order, we made sure to order our food too. After this interaction, we never saw her again until the bill. Other employees ended up dropping off our drinks & food. I ordered 1/3 rack of the St. Louis Style ribs. It came with two sides. I chose French fries and chips & guacamole. Chips & guacamole was considered a premium side so they charged an extra $4. It took about 20 minutes for us to get our food after we ordered. This wasn't a bad wait considering how busy the restaurant was. Food was decent and the location was nice as it was on the water. The absolute best part of the whole dining experience was the music. Whoever was controlling the playlist that night deserves a raise. It was peak millennial, throwback to the Disney Channel days music. There was a ton of parking as the restaurant is located in a big shopping center. I would definitely go here again, but if there is a concert nearby that night, I would recommend getting there early.
