Taylor is fantastic! She always takes such good care of us. And we love the BYO salads...with the mini croissant at the end.

After seeing my initial review, the General Manager reached out to me to invite me back. I recently took him up on that offer. We arrived on a weekday evening. The dining area was pretty full. There was nobody at the waitress stand to greet us. After waiting for a few minutes, we were prepared to leave, assuming that the experience would be the same. But someone ended up coming to seat us. The rest of our visit went off without a hitch. Our waitress was attentive throughout our dinner. The food was hot and good. Our orders were prepared as requested. A gentleman, who I assumed was the manager, came by to check on us. Overall, this was a much better experience than our first visit. I'm glad we gave them another try. read more

I don't know of another place without a salad bar where you can build your own with so many options! Truly there's a salad for everyone. Our party of three each got a salad and two of us ate every single bite. Every piece. Delicious! The waiter was friendly, plenty of television entertainment like it reminds me of Vegas but the music is soft so you can still enjoy your company. They have a sour beer. Big points. read more

In town for a friend's wedding and this is where they had their rehearsal dinner. It was a decent time. A little confusing, but I'm not sure that's totally on the establishment. We were greeted with a reserved area, and markers on the table complete with a QR code for what menu items were available. Problem one: QR code just took you to their main website, not sure it worked properly. Additionally, I guess there was a buffet planned that never materialized. Again, things change, no worries. Wedding parties are weird. Last minute changes are to be expected. Bottom line, I'll honestly say I probably shouldn't complain- AT ALL - as we didn't have to pay. However, my turkey melt was mediocre - much more dry turkey than "melt", but most of the appetizers we had were pretty good. A large portion of our nachos were left uneaten because...who puts THAT MUCH SOUR CREAM on nachos!? Damn, y'all. Wait staff had their hands full with the big crowd, but handled themselves beautifully and were very friendly. Lots of TVs, fun vibes, but food was just okay. read more

Friendly Service and a Clean atmosphere. I got the chicken and rice plate and it was great

We love coming here every Wednesday to have Lexi be our server. She's funny, sweet and knows her stuff! She definitely keeps us coming back.

The service was quick enough but after ordering there was an issue of not caring. A bug was flying around and the waitress was busy talking to her friends. The a/c was blowing on me and she didn't comment on the fact I had moved to my husband's side to avoid the freezing air. The salad came and wasn't tossed. Just a host of issues read more

Was really hoping the new menu would be great, mediocre at best. The fish tacos were just ok. Weird large fried fish in the tortilla. Hubby had chicken tenders that were good. My tater tot's either old or overcooked. The large 8.00 beer. Overpriced. Service was good until The waiter sat down chit chatting with a young woman. I doubt we will return. read more

If I could rate 0 I would they don't even deserve one star. Waited hour for table when many were available, once seated we did t have a waiter for 15-20 minutes then waited another hour for food! Most mid food ever stale tortillas used for the tacos and clearly microwave food served. Rude staff and I saw two roaches in the floor! read more

Two horrible experiences at the Mooresville Hickory Tavern. It's obvious everyone else has the same opinion because nobody is here on prime weekend time. Let's hit the lowlights: - brown lettuce - virtual bacon (I couldn't convince a jury of my peers that they served me bacon on my sandwich) - the chicken was tiny - the flies circling my beer were big They charge outrageous prices for a shot, beer and anything else you can think of. I WILL NOT BE BACK! read more

Every time we come here the service and the food is great! We are always seated quickly or offered to sit at the bar area. This location is very open and has many tables and booths. It is definitely good for large groups. The waitresses are kind and attentive! I love the bbq chicken nachos! I also love the variety of alcoholic beverages they have on tap. I truly love coming to this location! read more

Alexis M. Gave us great service with a smile. A good waitress that serves good food in a timely manner is hard to find these days. I would have given 6 stars but it only allowed me to give 5. Thank you Hickory Tavern for hiring such a great person!| read more

Bugs everywhere! We stopped in to have dinner and started with an appetizer and a couple of drinks. Little fruit flies several ... 15 were all over us! We asked the waitress if we could move to a different table. We thought maybe there was a reason for them congregating at this area. No one else nearby complained. The place was not busy. Maybe 5 tables nearby were occupied. The relocation made no difference. By the time our main meal arrived we were inundated with more bugs! The waitress "felt bad". Did nothing to compensate us though... it was like being at an outdoor picnic but worse ... to the tune of a $60 for what should have been relaxing meal. The waitress had theories about why the bugs were there... storm drains. Rain. Attracted to our meals. Maybe it was the drinks we ordered. All well and good but nothing was done. A basic let me see if a manager can cover your drinks would've been something. We will never go back. Food was decent but the experience was awful! Unappetizing at best. I realize they can't help bugs but, some form of compensation when you're spending $60 would've been a gesture. The waitress eventually told us the bugs were "all over the bar area." We were by the window away from the bar so ... Figure out your big issue! read more

Facility was nice and clean. Drinks were very weak and small and not worth money (not even close). Appetizer uninspiring. Burger and fries were good. Philly and fries were good. Server was friendly and good. read more

Alexis M is one of the best waitresses in Hickory Tavern. She's very helpful, attentive and has a great sense of humor. She's the reason we come back week after week. Thank You Alexis read more

We haven't been here in a while and decided to see if anything changed, it seems it has, service has improved tremendously, kitchen still slow in pushing the dishes but at least the service and attention to detail is way better, this place has great food, just improving the overall service makes it a great place to eat and enjoy the experience read more

Honestly if I could give 0 that's what I would do. Management team doesn't honestly know what they're doing but will do anything to keep the guests happy even tho it's disgusting in there with all the flies flying around you. Into your food, drinks, everything , and talking about the ambience .. the bartenders could be a little nicer and are a little slow making drinks and our service was a little slow even tho we were like the only ones in there and you could hear people argue .. honestly i won't be returning here and honestly if anyone was smart they wouldn't go here. This place needs to be gone read more

Excellent food, price and service. Chris provided excellent service. A few more thoughts ( review for this length requirement should meet exist). read more

The Food and service very good. We have been to the Mooresville location several times.

Was visiting Mooresville and I try to eat at places I don't have where I live.. Decided to stop here and glad I did.. We had BBQ Chicken Nachos for an appetizer and was pleasantly surprised. I had the wings and my friend had a burger. Both items were good. Service was slow to start but didn't realize it was just opening. The bartender ended up as our server as the other ones were not in yet. She did a good job and kept up with the drinks and checked up on us. Wa asked the hostess to change a change and she did what we asked. The restaurant was clean and everyone seemed happy. read more

Casey C is the best server! He was the most amazing human to us! We will always ask for him.

My wife took me to Hickory Tavern for Father's Day because I like their wings. We have been there several times in the past and the and service were fine but not great. Tonight it was all excellent. Andrew our server was great, fun and very efficient. He made it a fun evening. Overall the entire evening was very nice. Both food and service were excellent. . I do not know if they have a new manager but I would not be surprised if they do. The entire experience was better than the past. We will go back again soon. Hopefully it will be the same better experience. read more

I We stopped here for dinner a few nights ago and had a very good meal. The server brought our food quickly and the food was delicious. I had the Smokehouse burger and it was juicy and had a good beef taste. We'll be back. read more

Best Food, Stellar Service, And Nice Ambiance. Savanna Greeted us with a smile. We came in just before closing from a Church Meeting. But they treated us with as if we were the first customer. Thank you to the team the manager that came out and gave us awesome service. Thats how longevity in a restaurant is created. Long Live this Location. Blessings. read more

This was the most bland food we've had in years. I told the waitress that my meal had no flavor. She said, "oh sorry"! I asked for a side of queso that was supposed to be on the cheesesteak sandwich because the meat had ZERO seasoning, no salt or pepper. The queso helped a little. The frozen onion rings are $1.99 upcharge... which was on the menu; however, she never shared that my tiny plastic cup is queso would be $3. I told the waitress that she should have told me that there was an upcharge for the sauce. She said she " wasn't going to, but then i did it. " We won't be back. Not sure how people can eat there. My husband had a burger and it had zero seasoning on the meat also. Big disappointment. read more

Food was tasteless. Since I'm a veteran, I ordered the Freedom Burger. It's a great concept to give back to veterans but the burger did not do justice. Burger was small, tasteless and lacked the Boldness of being a Veteran of the US military. What a disappointment. read more

This place was great. It was a little quiet for a Saturday night, but I would imagine it might be due to some of the poor reviews on this site, unfortunately. Ben was our server and he was very attentive and overall a great server. We had the pretzel bites and chips & queso for appetizers and my wife and I both had burgers for our meal. They advertise the burgers as smash burgers but they really weren't smash burgers, the patties were pretty thick but they were really good. All of the food was delicious and we will definitely be back. read more

We ordered Doordarsh lastnight. I got a BYOS. I started to cut up the chicken, mix it all up and stuff and I noticed something odd. There was a dirty, greasy, wodded up receipt from someone else's order, two hours prior. At first I thought they used one of those papers to separate ingredients because it was partially buried under the cheese. I called the restaurant 3 times and no one ever answered. Doordarsh ended up taking care of the meal cost but they told me not to eat it. read more

I had to downgrade my review from a 3 to a 2. The food is terribly disappointing. Today I ordered wings. Even though the wings were cooked well and no blood gushing the wings looked like they came from a chicken with cancer. Out of 8 wings, 4 were bad. Literally looked like cancerous wings. Where do they buy there chicken wings from?-- it must be the cheapest wing place or they are buying 2nd grade chickens. Hickory Tavern damn do better than this or close shop. Would you serve your wife a chicken wing that looks like it has cancer.. there is a standard and it comes down to this -- serve good decent food prepared clean, nice presentation and taste good. If you can't meet that basic standard go out of business. read more

Always love getting the build your own salad. I also like their charred wings. The servers are always nice and helpful .

Service is terrible, place is dirty. It took 20 minutes to get water, and 10 more to get a can of beer with no glass. Overall a very bad experience. We left without eating because the food never came after 45 minutes. read more

Nice Restaurant and bar, I went after the mad rush on a Monday. It was raining outside when I arrived. I decided to sit at the bar area and ordered a Sangria. The bartender was very pleasant and took my drink order almost immediately. Great menu options, had a bit of hard time choosing what to have. I wanted to try the fish tacos but decided on trying the chicken tenders instead. I ordered it with a side of their steak fries. I had a gracing for malt vinegar again on the fries. I also wanting to taste their blazing Asian sauce on the chicken. Food came out hot, the chicken was crispy and a bit more than I could eat. The fries were perfect! I however didn't like the sauce. Not sure what is but ginger was to overpowering and I personally didn't think it was hot at all. I used the ranch sauce instead. I can certainly see this place busy on the weekends and it has lots of seating in the bar area to watch the games on their big screen TV's. I hope to bring my husband here so we can try the Grilled Salmon for dinner this week. read more

Came in Saturday for a little something and conversation with a friend. Got in the door, got accosted, got a high-top in the bar. Was about 6:30 with a building crowd making middling background noise along with a mix of silliness on the TVs for distraction. Server arrived shortly and was attentive without being a bother the whole rest of the visit; asked about drinks and suggested apps while we figured out our eats (came back twice while we weren't deciding on food.) K got a Delmonico plus bro-sprouts, asparagus, and a tavern salad and was quite pleased with it all. It looked pretty good from my seat and K joined the clean plate club for the evening. My smokehouse burger came out hot and zippy in all its extra-medium glory topped with bacons, shredded cheeses, oniony straw, and a slather of BBQ sauce on top. Beef patty was thick and hot and just a little drippy but not oozy enough for me to wreck a shirt. yea for bib-less-ness! Given my druthers I'd go with less taller and more wider meats and a maybe a pickle slab but that's just my midwesternity showing through... a petite OMB Copper paired well. read more

From the host to the waitress the service was awesome. We both ordered the Hickory Smoke House burger as it was BOGO on burgers, house chips and crispy brussel sprouts. The Burgers were amazing and difficult not to finish. The best thing was definitely the brussels sprouts. They were absolutely amazing. My wife got the house chips and I stole more than half of them. Those are good as well. I will be back! read more

What a huge place ! Beautiful outside seating as well. The service was great everybody was so nice and greeted us and sat us immediately. The croissant rolls we had were soooo good we ordered some to take home also! I had the po boy and the shrimp was cooked to crispy perfection as were the brussel sprouts I ordered. Definitely coming back again with some friends ! read more

I was here yesterday, had made plans to come with a friend prior to looking at reviews, and I can honestly say I'm not sure what these people are talking about. It was a Wednesday at 12, probably about 6 other tables. We were greeted quickly, sat, and given waters in about 2 minutes. Our server was very attentive, and asked if we had ever been there, when we said we hadn't he gave us a few suggestions and gave us a few more minutes. I decided on the buffalo chicken wrap with onion rings. The wrap was really really good, chicken was juicy and perfectly tossed in sauce. The onion rings were great, nice and crispy and not greasy at all. House made ranch would great too. All and all it was a great meal. I left very full for only 15 dollars. I will definitely be coming back. Don't take these reviews as law, this place is great, quiet and super clean! Can't wait to come back during football season as they have sooo many TVS! read more

Depends on the time and day. Hit or miss with service. The food has been great imo. It's a sports bar. If you are into that it seems good. I enjoyed checking out the March Madness here. It's been good for NFL games also. Some of the bartenders suck. There is one that just sits there and plays in phone even when there is a practically empty bar. That is fine. When I see her working I leave and hit up Kickback Jacks . read more

Yesterday was Father's Day. Our boys are grown but our youngest, our 14 month old Feist, suffers from severe separation anxiety. I called first to verify they still were dog friendly on their porch. They are and they provided my pup with a fresh bowl of water! It was the first time any of us had been to a Hickory Tavern. Our drinks were ordered and when they were delivered, our orders were taken. In hardly no time our food arrived nice, hot, and correct. I do not know about other people's negative posts on here. We had none of those issues at all. My guess is none of them have ever worked food service or retail. Everyone should have to do both at some point. I am not one to get sideways with people when I can see they are working hard to satisfy a lot of customers. So I say, please ignore the negative Nellies on this review list at go make your own decision. Father's Day is a busy day. No problems. Will be back with my four legged son in tow as he enjoyed himself too. read more
