The service was excellent. Carol and Vinny were very friendly and genuine. I did have an issues with an item that is no longer on the menu. Salsa and chips. My friends and I come to the restaurant every few months to enjoy the atmosphere. We always get the salsa and chips before our meal. Today I ordered grilled chicken nachos deluxe to find out you no longer have salsa. I'm having to eat dry nachos. It looks like the menu has less items to offer but you take out something so simple as chips and salsa. Please bring them back. read more

Food was great. Wings were perfect and drinks hit the spot. Gracie was Awesome and took very good care of us!

My server Sally was amazing. She was attentive, helpful and very responsive. She made my lunch break great.

Had to run back and try out something from my last visits:) This time I ordered the Cedar Salmon with broccoli, yellow rice, Macaroni and cheese. It was so delicious! The salmon was tender and perfectly seasoned. I love salmon that is moist with a smoky taste! I should have ordered an extra one, haha. The broccoli was fresh and had a naturally seasoned taste, a the macaroni and cheese had a creamy texture. It wasn't too cheesy. It had just enough cheese to coat the pasta noodles evenly. Oh, and the yellow rice was fluffy, which I absolutely love. Everything was prepared well, and I ate every drop of it:) The service is always great there plus the restaurant was well lit and clean. Can't wait to see what I should try next! See you all soon:) read more

Boyfriend and I came for date night this Friday during live music. Our server was Dannie, and he was very respectful. We got the charcoal ribs, brussel sprouts, and wings. I also ordered a mohito but virgin and they were able to accommodate, but the brussel sprouts came out with little to no chili maple sauce. Still delish and Dannie brought us some sauce on the side. We also ordered some fried pickles that never made it to the table, but they didn't make it to the check either haha, and we ended up being too full to eat them anyways. Been here a few times and they have some killer burgers too. I'd recommend. read more

Leigh was very welcoming to the establishment and was super helpful and not too bothersome but was perfect when choosing to check in, Truly loved my experience here read more

This is a local place. I did like that inside it had a lot of local references: quotes and paraphernalia. But I felt the food was just ok. I think I was expecting too much. The shrimp for me had too much sauce on them. Then the burger wasn't anything special, it really needed more seasoning. Our server was nice but overall service seems slow and they were not even busy. read more

Leigh- great service, very friendly. pleasant to chat with. Will come back again and ask for her

My wife and I had given up on Hickory Tavern. Poor service, so so food, long wait times for service, long wait times for food, we just gave up. Last Sunday, we were looking for brunch, but all our first choices were packed, we decided to give HT another try. As soon as we were seated, Janiyah came to our table. She took our drink orders and was back in minutes. My wife and I just looked at each other in shock at the quick service. After several trips to check on us, Janiyah took our order. She returned about ten minutes with our order. The food was great and it was still warm! What an unexpected change. Will definitely be back. read more

The food is usually good. We USED to go because it was more like a "Cheers" atmosphere. The new bartenders have changed and we went nights when we knew Chase would be behind the bar. Due to his loss at this location we will not be going as often (as will many others). read more

Dannie was great. Food was great. What else can I say? Fries were to notch. Daughter loved the wings.

Love this place. Lexi is the best waitress! Not overbearing but on point............................................

Our server Dannie and as fantastic! Great food Great atmosphere I had the rib eye and it was cooked very well

Had a great meal and service with Kara. They were very busy with the World Cup game and we still had amazing service.

Excellent service from Dannie! Our food came out quickly, piping hot, and absolutely delicious. The fried pickles were especially amazing! Vinny also stopped by to make sure we were enjoying our meal, and his friendly, customer-focused attitude made the experience even better. What made the experience even more memorable was how welcomed and valued they made us feel. They didn't even know it was my 30th birthday, yet they treated us with such genuine kindness and attentiveness that I still felt incredibly special. Thank you both for making it such a wonderful dining experience! read more

My husband and I drove almost an hour to come to the Garners Ferry Rd location because the service is always warm and friendly. Well when we came on 9/7 our service started out rocky. The table was dirty and we didn't have any silverware. When asked the waiter asked the hostess to bring us silverware and she took silverware to a table that came in after us and mind you, we had our food already, they hadn't even ordered yet. When Vinny, the manager, came around to ask about service we explained to him what happened. Will needles to say, Vinny turned our bag experience into a great one. We will visit again because of managers like Vinny. He is truly an asset to your company. Doug and Kim Young read more

Sallie was wonderful!!! The food was great as always !! The wings are phenomenal. The pretzel is a must have!

Wanted to find somewhere to transfer an early dinner and watch some college football. I've been to this spot before but it had been a couple of years so I didn't know what to expect. Friendly and attentive servers, great drinks, varied menu and more than enough TV screens to catch all of the sports action taking place at the time. I dont know why I stopped coming here, but I will be back more often this CFB season. Highly recommend! read more

Definitely recommend this place for tasty bar food, beers and more TVs than you can shake a stick at! On a short visit to the area to see Congaree Natl Park, we ate here twice in two days, and the service on the first day left something to be desired (it was World Cup final day, so perhaps they were a bit overrun). But the food was nice--including a fairly healthy grilled chicken sandwich w/fresh veg & crispy skin-on fries--so we decided to try it again for some post-hike comfort food and a lunch beer. Glad we did because Sally was great, friendly and attentive, and the food was even better the second time. Mac & cheese loaded w/blackened shrimp was standout for me (unlike the chicken sandwich, it was NOT fairly healthy haha). Great neighbourhood spot run well by a welcoming GM! read more

I was there with 5 co-workers and 1 former co-worker celebrating a Baby Shower on 06.16.26. My meal was $17.59 plus I left a tip of $7.41 total $25.00. I still have my receipt in hand for proof. When I searched my credit card statement online, I was charged $25.00 for my meal plus an additional $36.23. That is robbery and not fair to patrons. If you visit or has visited in the past this restaurant and pay or paid using your credit card please, please, please monitor your credit card charges. This could be happening continuously to patrons. read more

We went for dinner last night. The atmosphere was inviting and the facility was clean. The staff was friendly and attentive. Unfortunately, we ended up only having a drink and leaving. It was too hot in the restaurant for us to be able to sit and enjoy our food. read more
