    Strawberry mojito
    Tanysha W.

    Food , service, and ambiance were all top tier! I enjoyed watched March Madness on the big screens and ordered fried pickles, lemon pepper wings, and a strawberry mojito. New bartender did not disappoint!! It was happy hour so I ordered a second...bc why not! Thanks to both bartenders for taking care of me

    Crispy Fish Tacos

    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.

    Corn beef Rueben & sweet potato fries yum!
    Lau A.

    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!

    Power Bowl
    Michelle B.

    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.

    Ni e clean stablishment, plenty of tv's for people to enjoy their sports, the service was friendly and professional and the food was good, enjoyed my ribs and the chili was good.

    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

    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.

I believe the owner sat us at our table and was very friendly. The waitress quickly came over with menus and took our drink order and informed us of the soup of the day. My wife and I love soup so we each ordered a cup of the soup special (chicken tortellini). I asked about the chicken wings and was told that they are excellent so I ordered 12 barbecue chicken wings and my wife ordered the fried chicken sandwich. The soup had excellent flavor but the tortellini's were way over cooked. My chicken wings were excellent as described. They were large and crispy. Some of the best I've had in a while.

She was pissed off and brought me the drink. I specifically, I asked for light ice, who wants to pay $2.75 for a glass of ice? She became extremely hostile that she had to remake the glass of club soda. she screamed at me that this was her bar! Me, thinking to myself...so what, bring what I asked for simple, right? You do not own the business! I sought out the owner who has always been present during my 3-4 previous visits to share what happened. He explained she has a problems when it gets busy...... and gets agitated. Honestly, the place had a trivia contest but it was not all that busy. I was there the night before for St Paddy's Day dinner, there were no issues. The place was packed. I was seated quickly, ordered and the club soda and the Rueben was served in am amazingly short time. The Rueben grilled and hot! The server was wonderful. I had fried fish there at lunch, great. I had prime rib for dinner. The prime rib was, delicious, cooked to perfection. The 6 oz cut yielded 3 oz of pure fat. I brought the fat home and weighted it. So be careful of the so called specials. My fault, I should have not accepted the cut. Bottom line, food is good as is the service, except for this JJ bartender. As a seasoned business owner, I wonder why he keeps such an unbalanced individual on during the busy times if he knows she cannot handle it in a professional manner? Maybe put her on lunch schedule or out to pasture. There are so many restaurant's and bars to choose from, no one should have to put up with surly waitstaff.
