Always delicious. A great place to watch the soccer games! Service is quick and friendly.

Redemption of the century. Came in and got seated. But waited nearly 20 minutes before we got GREETED let alone served. Waitresses and waiters just passed us by after looking at our table without food or drinks. Here comes the manager JD to absolutely save the day. This guy was great. Quick, and even got us the head bartender Matt who ended up being our server to tell us about drinks and tend to what we needed. Those two saved that whole night from going bad. read more

We had a super friendly waitress. There are lots of seating options. I really enjoyed the quesadilla. We got the sampler app. It seems we weren't given the proper dipping sauce. As I'm not sure id want to dip pretzels or pickles in salsa or marinara. Also I need to comment that the marinara sauce was the worst thing I have ever tasted lol. Im sorry to be blunt. It was like sweet bbq marinara?? Yuck. read more

My recent visit was a profound disappointment, marked by critical failures in both the execution of cooking and hospitality. I ordered a dozen wings, specifically requesting the wings crispy. As I opened the first wing, I discovered the interior was significantly undercooked, with visible blood near the bone. When I brought this to the server's attention, she dismissively asserted that the appearance was merely due to the meat adhering to the bone and that the poultry was fully cooked. Given my experience of cooking for the past 22 years, I proceeded to tell the server this was incorrect and it was not completely cooked. I declined the meal and requested only a to-go cup for my sweet tea. The lack of attention to proper cooking temperatures and the defensive service were particularly inexcusable given that the dining room was nearly empty at the time. read more

I had a very disappointing experience with the manager, Artnetta at Hickory Tavern. She refused to accept my Arizona ID, which is understandable because it is an uncommon ID to have. However, what made the situation frustrating was that she further antagonized me during and after the meal. I left feeling angry and embarrassed by the situation. Good customer service starts with management, and I hope the restaurant addresses how customers are treated in situations like this. read more

This is what they say they are, a sports bar. Bar food, lots of TVs, decent selection of beer, and a chill vibe that would be great for a game. With that being said, the food is just that. I got the pesto turkey club. It wasn't what I was expecting which I think is the big reason for disappointment. It needed more mayo or more pesto in my opinion. The turkey was thick cut and I think would have been better thinner. More tomato's would also be a bonus. Other than the food, the server we had was excellent. Funny, attentive, and good attitude. If I was brought here again, I wouldn't mind it. But might not be my first sports bra choice. read more

Staff didn't know what the World Cup was when asked if England game was on the tv. They had plenty of tvs and were playing repeats games of other sports. So many open tables and was told we would have to wait and the tables couldn't seat 5. We left. This is a sports bar and the staff is clueless on how to run a sports bar. read more

Must share my husband and I had lunch last week, sat at the bar, bartender was more engaged with a gentleman at end of the bar never asked if everything was ok, We ordered Rueben and burger....tater tots cold, Ruben was missing Russian and sauerkraut fellow came behind bar my husband asked if he were the manager... he gave a grunt, he told him our issues...left never came back! read more

It's pretty bad when a restaurant allows a waiter to be rude to you and spread rumors saying you swore at them to management because they chose to stand there and chat with there friends rather than get your side and you have to wait while your food gets cold and you call them out for it. Don't waste your time on this restaurant. The kitchen usually screws up the food anyhow read more

My girlfriend said the nachos are the best she's ever had in her life Food was great service was good and fast Chicken tenders were amazing I don't like freshly breaded tenders but these were great the one issue I had was they didn't have any Coke so I had to get sprite other then that it was fantastic if they had coke it would have been a 5 star review read more

Fantastic food and service! Our waitress was friendly and our food was delicious! The vibe was that of a typical sports bar restaurant. TV's everywhere! Tuesdays is 1/2 price tacos and $5 House Margaritas. There were a lot of unique dishes that restaurants up North don't have so it was a bit hard to decide what to get. I may have to come back again this week. read more

Finally made it back up to Hickory Tavern! It just happened to be the same day Carolina Coastal was playing LSU. Great timing as the establishment has several TV's and not a bad spot in the place. I ordered the Corn beef Reuben and sweet potato fries and a family member had the double cheeseburger mushroom /onion/swiss w/ sweet potato fries as well. The fries were delicious and were definitely just pulled out of the fryer as they were HOT (just how I love them) and were drizzled with a bit of honey .. yum right ! The Rueben was cooked just right with the rye perfectly crunchy. The burg was nice and juicy sandwiched between a fresh grilled bun and cooked just how he likes it. Folks they hit it out of the park this time! Check them out and enjoy a great game while you're at it. Thanks Hickory Tavern! read more

I had not visited a Hickory Tavern in quite some time. When I saw the power bowl, I had to have it. Thankfully, it was the absolute best lunch I have had in a very long time. It was so good, I stopped to get one on my way home from the beach. I am now reminded to pick one up in the next few days. For my protein choice, I requested blacked chicken and they made it perfectly! This is a popular place on a Sunday afternoon, especially with television screens ALL OVER. We arrived just in time to get a big table and watch the games of our choice. read more

the food was horrible. we orderd the pre game appetizer, the chips were stale, the mozzarella sticks were way over cooked, and 2 of the dipping sauces were freezing cold. However the pretzel bites were delicious to bad there wasn't an edible dipping sauce for them. we both ordered the freedom burger and it should be called the grease burger. we took the grease saturated bun off and ate a portion of the hamburger. our waitress was attentive but when we told her about the food (after we paid) she said the cook likes to brush butter on the buns. it is not butter it's GREASE. we won't be back but you never know if you don't try. read more

Stopped by at 8:30 on a Friday night for a late meal. We were seated immediately, the place was not overly crowded. Our waiter was amazing, brought us our drinks and took our order. My daughter had the cob salad with shrimp, I had the fish and chips. Both meals were excellent, the fries were hot and crispy, the fish perfectly done. My daughter really enjoyed her cob salad, it's now her favorite. Overall a great atmosphere, with a well stocked bar and huge selection of draft beers... including local craft beers. Plus TVs everywhere to enjoy your favorite sporting event. My wife and I recently moved to the area... this was my first visit, but it won't be the last! read more

Many years ago, we used to eat at the original Hickory Tavern in Hickory NC. The food was awesome and the experience was always pleasant. When we moved away, it was a sad day. Skip ahead to a week ago when we saw this restaurant in North Myrtle and were overjoyed to find out it was.a franchise of that original. We so lo looked forward to having dinner here. Unfortunately, the years apparently have not been so kind to Hickory Tavern as they branched out. It is so much more of just a sports bar than the original. Loud and less personal. Some of the same dishes are still available. One of those is the shrimps and grits, which was always my go to here. Thankfully the food was still ok, but lacks the flavor and pizzazz it once had. Service was really slow even though not crowded. Food took a while to come out. Drinks never got refilled. After our plates were taken up, I had to finally ask for the check after sitting patiently at an empty table for almost 10 min as our server was no where to be found. We probably won't be back with all the better choices this area offers read more

After trying the Hickory Tavern once and having a bad experience and leaving a negative review management reached out and sent a gift card. Upon returning and using my gift card my experience was much different. Management has definitely made changes and rectified the issues I experienced previously. This time I was greeted with a super friendly hostess that was at the door and greeting us with a smile. After being seated our waitress arrived quickly with menus, waters and took our drink orders. The ambiance of the place is great with lots of televisions to watch any sports event you would like to view. The FOOD - our orders arrived hot and fresh and the portions were plentiful. Everything was cooked to order. Nothing was the best in the world but everything was really good. Nothing to complain about! I will return after this experience!! Give this place a try! It's a good place to have lunch or dinner and watch some sports! read more

We frequent Hickory Tavern all summer when there. The food is always tasty and getting seating is rarely an issue. On our last visit in August our server, Shy (not sure of the spelling of her name but that's what her name sounded like), was awesome. I believe it was her first night working solo after training and she went above and beyond. I prefer to use aluminum foil to wrap my leftover sandwiches in and she hunted some down in the kitchen, which is so appreciated as it maintains the freshness. She also told us she was pregnant and so I hope this review finds her doing well! read more

Unfortunately had a much different experience in our visit this year. Service was very slow. Nice server, just not good service. Food was ok. Drinks were made poorly and served with bad fruit. Waitress couldn't tell us the draft beers and just kept telling us to QR code the list. We eventually walked over to see the options. My daughter cheese quesadilla came out about 10 minutes after everyone else food. Since we wait for everyone to have their food, ours was cold when we ate. Just not a great experience that we have come to expect. read more

We came upon this establishment a few years ago (before I did Yelp reviews) and loved our experience. So we had to come back. As always, memories always win, however it was still a great dinner. The pretzel bites came out fast and were yummy! Unfortunately they were out of Shred Heads, their shredded potato appetizer. The rest of us got Buffalo chicken wraps, a burger, made to order salad, and Buffalo tenders. No complaints from anyone. I'll go ahead and put this out there though for other people like me - we sat at one of those tables that have flip out sides, creating long cracks in the wood for crumbs to get stuck in. That was really gross to see. My daughter and I covered the cracks with napkins so we didn't have to think about other people's food crumbs. read more

Hickory tavern is our go to restaurant in NMB. It is casual and comfortable atmosphere. The food is pub-like food and usually delicious. I say usually because we have been served chicken in a salad that seemed pre-made. But I am not going to rate them low since most of the time the food is good. read more

Visited for the first time today! Hallie was our waitress and hands down probably the best of the best!! Very patient, attentive and friendly! We had the POW POW shrimp for an app - it was delicious. Ordered the chips and salsa too and although the salsa was good, I didn't care too much for the chips. My little one had the best of both worlds with her pasta & side of Mac & cheese - her two favorites! I loved my food truck chicken & rice plate (added a side of jalapeños which really adds the perfect kick to it). We are locals so will definitely be coming back and excited to try some other dishes out! Thanks again Hallie - you are awesome! read more

Took our great nieces Everything was excellent. I had a burger and my wife had the app sampler

One of those experiences where the food was good, but the service started off bad. Came to the bar area and grabbed a high top by the bar. Our server was Will. He first asked us what we'd like to drink, and at the time I was undecided. My friend asked for a Snake Bite, to which our server said they didn't have that drink. I believe he didn't know what a Snake Bite is (usually Guinness & Cider). My friends decided on a couple Hazy IPAs instead. Will grabbed my friends' beers and dropped them off, I mentioned to him the Hazy sounded good and I'll take that when he gets a chance. Unfortunately he mockingly laughed at me, to which I asked why he's laughing? He replied that's what they already got. I as well replied that I knew that but was undecided at the moment. He kept laughing and walked away. I noted this to the manager and asked if we could grab another server. He apologized and we were given the server Brandy. She did a great job and finished off the rest of our time the right way. The food came out really good and Brandy did a great job taking care of us. Thanks Brandy. But unfortunately the rest of the time Will kept coming baby our table, in which seemed to be out of his way, just to stare at our table. Lol it was really random and uncomfortable, but oh well. Thanks to the manager Randy, I believe his name, and our server Brandy. They did a great job and props to the chef on a greta lunch! read more

I never really care about a bad night or bad food once in a while but the manager of this location CAN NOT tell three different people that got sick on HIS watch from HIS kitchen ..... with a smart attitude : What do you want me to do about it?." Looks like we all should have went to the ER got the proper documentation then went to Morgan and Morgan. You have to do better in that kitchen there ..... Your making people sick. If you can't handle the job step down ..... but clean the kitchen first. read more

Nachos were good. Burger was OK. Wings were not good. Busy place. Service was great! Convenient location.

Good food,Good service and just a nice place . Plenty of TV's also inside and outside.

Dumb ass manager denied my boyfriends is when he's almost 30 years old and doesn't even have a fake id. They don't even have a scanner to check the ids. Not a good place to get drinks read more

Popped in for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. I wasn't expecting to enjoy lunch as much as I did with this being a chain but I really really enjoyed my lunch of the limited time only smoked sausage by Mike Ditka. It was a very good sausage and prepared well in the kitchen. Everyone I was dining with enjoyed both their lunch and their drinks. There were a good amount of items on both the drink and food menu that piqued my interest and I look forward to returning and trying. The menu has a nice assortment of options so this is a good place for groups or families with varied tastes. It's also a large place so they can accommodate groups easily. The location is primo for tourists staying in local hotels or for locals out shopping. Establishment was clean and staff was friendly. read more

Hickory Tavern is a fun sports bar with the typical sports bar food. There is ample seating in the bar area for a huge crowd to watch the game. Or the game and the race and the match. TV's literally ring the room. A wide array of beers on tap as well as a full bar to satiate your thirst. The service is very good as is the food. read more

I had the chicken penne pasta, chicken was extremely dry and had way too much pepper on it. The oysters appetizer were disappointing, the majority of what was in the shell was bacon bits and breadcrumbs. The oyster was so small it was like perrywinkles. The salmon entree was good, nice and tender. The only issue with it was the portion size that I got was smaller than the other pictures on yelp. Also note, the kitchen is extremely slow, took quite a while to even get appetizers let alone the entrees read more
