Wow! Second time here since relocating back to Rock Hill after a 15 year absence. We've been nothing but impressed with the food, drinks and cleanliness of this restaurant. The staff has been overwhelmingly positive and kind...just can't say enough good things. Live pretty close so we will be regulars moving forward! Annabelle was awesome tonight as our server and thanks to Scott the manager for stopping by and introducing himself. read more

We stopped here on a recommendation. Our server (Tyler I think?) was great! Friendly, recommended items and very attentive. Food was good! I had the hickory burger (didn't realize it was a double patty!) and my husband had the reuben sandwich. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was hot out but we sat on the patio (evening/dinner) and it was quite comfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Definitely stop here if you're in the area. read more

First time to this location. I wanted to watch the Packers vs Viking. Party of one so I sat at the bar. The staffs were all accommodating and attentive. As far as the food. I ordered 6 wings garlic Parmesan and roasted Brussels sprouts with balsamic and bacon. The wings didn't have garlic at all and very little Parmesan. So I would give it a 3/5. Same with the Brussels. Can't taste the balsamic. [[HIGHLIGHT]]All in all. A really good place for a cold beer, watch some sports and great customer service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's not overly crowded. Which I like.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Guess I'll have to try something else on the menu next time. read more

I had a late meeting, that didn't include food ; therefore I was on the hunt. Kudos to Hickory Tavern for being open until 11pm. Hobos, Tavern on Tracks, etc all close at 10pm. I could have walked in those places at 9:44 and ordered but I wouldn't appreciate it so I don't do it. Shannon, the bartender, suggested a great Cabernet not the most expensive to increase her tip. Shannon helped me select the fish and chips (actual house made chips & ranch) and it was spot on! Either I was hungry or it was quite appetizing! Sorry no photo but I'm sure the 9oz pour and the freshly made fish were reorder-worthy. & order your rolls and 1st cause trying to order them at 11pm was a negative. If I were working kitchen would be closed as well. read more

I was looking forward to eating and drinking here but unfortunately it's management's practice to force people to wait close to an hour to sit outside as those who want to sit inside. Even though there was 8 empty seats outside and no one was wanting to sit outside. The male employee at the front was extremely rude and dismissive which made me sick to my stomach. This sucks as I enjoyed this establishment but with staff like that, I can't see myself eating here again. read more

The atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and the customer service was top-notch. What really earned this 5-star review happened after my visit. While reconciling my account on 7/29/26, I noticed a $45 charge for an item I didn't order. I called and spoke with Tiffany, who was incredibly kind and assured me she would speak with the manager, Philip. When I called back the next day, Katie was already expecting my call and immediately connected me with Philip. He had all the details, sincerely apologized, refunded the $45 without hesitation, and even gave me his personal number in case the refund didn't post. That level of honesty, communication, and trust is rare. Thank you, Tiffany, Katie, and Philip, for turning a billing mistake into an example of exceptional customer service. If you're looking for amazing comfort food, friendly people, and a place that truly feels like home, Bear Walrus is it. It's Rock Hill's version of "Cheers."

Bartenders were really entertaining and I actually preferred it. We've had dinner there before and opted not to move to a table. Prime rib - Friday night special. AMAZING. 8 oz portion rare was juicy and so flavorful. Crust was peppery and delicious, perfect with savory heat from the horseradish cream. Mac and cheese was super creamy and just the right amount of pepper, made with shells, cheese pull galore. The collards were on point and packed with chunks of pork. The tri tip was sliced thin and stayed juicy but that chimichurri was the showstopper. It was fresh and spicy and totally made the dish! Beans were too smoky for me, hubby said they were good. Potato salad was solid but not sure any potato dish could top that Mac! Sparkling rose was just a teensy bit sweet, very refreshing and divine. Bartender said it's one of the best wines on their list. Hubby had Tito's and cranberry, also excellent. They have a good draft selection too. No oysters for us on this trip, but they did have a list and the raw bar was fully seated and enjoying them. We totally enjoyed oysters last time. Longer table down the middle would make it easy for large parties and they did have several large groups in as well. Overall it was a pretty energetic vibe with a fun but casual ambience. Dress it up if you like, but jeans are also okay. Games were on the three TVs at the bar, or maybe there were 4 TVs. Bartenders were fun to hang out with and provided all the menu recommendations and entertainment we could want.

This was the first bar I have ever been too in South Carolina, I did a little search for bars close by after getting into town for a few days and finally was rested from driving 1,300 miles for 4 days, and decided to explore! I've only been in South Carolina for less than 3 weeks as I'm writing this, and I have gone to Palmetto's 3 times so far. Showed up last Tuesday and was a little surprised because It was super packed! Nevertheless I soon found out it was pool league night. Very cool atmosphere even with it being crowded the place was still cozy and comfortable. Other than I guess Tuesday it's pretty chill, the crowds come and go as any good ol boy bar. Also I must say I am a black woman, but I am country as hell and love country music and rock music, hahaha so rest assured, I haven't gotten any nasty looks whenever I go here , and everyone shows recognition to any gestures and voicing something out loud. Both the bartenders I have encountered were very laid back and non judgmental. Also just for notes sake, I do go out by myself so I'm never in a crowd. I might go on a tinder date or something with a guy and go bar hopping but 99% when I go places I go alone. Much easier that way if you ask me. Anywho! I don't mean to be too long winded and over talk a nice simple bar that I just have grown to love in a very short amount of visits. Overall! I highly recommend if you like a REAL southern bar full of old-timers and cowboys.

I am usually surprised at how easy it is to get a seat. It's a big space which helps but the food is so good. I always anticipate having to wait. Unless there is a sporting event next-door, I can usually find a place at the bar or get a table. If you sit at the bar, hope Mariah is there. She makes a good cocktail and she's incredibly sweet. Food is consistent and very good. Their smoked wings must be the best in town get the lemon pepper rub in the house made blue cheese dip. You won't regret it. The blackened chicken Caesar salad is also a huge hit. I highly recommend this place. Enjoy!

We arrived at an odd hour, hungry and tired from a day of driving from early morning until about 3…read morepm. We were a little confused as to how to enter the restaurant, but I chalk that up to being tired. The space is wide open and airy, with large windows and skylights. The restaurant was nice and clean, save for something that was splashed on the wall in our booth - but it's a restaurant. There's going to be little picky things here and there and I'm sure it was wiped down by the end of the day! Our hostess was also our server and she was so knowledgeable about the menu. I took her suggestions at every turn and did not regret it. We started off with the Bang Bang Brussels Sprouts app and let me tell you - I could've eaten that as my entire meal. They are SO delicious and I'll be dreaming of them until I can return to Rock Hill. Holy cow, they were good - crispy on the outside, loaded with flavor and just enough spice to give the sweetness a little bite. So good. My husband had the country fried steak and he said it was very good. Not the best he's ever had, he said, but good enough. He wished there'd been more steak and less crust, but the flavor was right on. They were out of the salt and pepper flounder, so I changed my order to the ranch chicken. Ummmm....excuse me. Who says not to order chicken breasts at restaurants? The portion size is SO generous and the chicken is SO DELICIOUS that I, the girl who rarely bothers to take leftovers, boxed up what was left and brought it back to my hotel and ate it as a midnight snack. The grilled zucchini served on the side of it was delicious. If I ever get back, I'll ask if I can skip the potatoes in favor of more of that zucchini! We didn't really have room for dessert, but when we heard about the warm banana pudding, we were curious. DO NOT SKIP THIS DESSERT. If you're a banana pudding fan, this will blow your mind. Absolutely incredible! It's both warm and cool at the same time, caramelized bananas and a torched meringue topping were bowl-licking delicious. All in all, this was a fantastic experience and I wouldn't hesitate to go back.

Ashley was our server and she was amazing -- very attentive, friendly, and gave great recommendations. She really made the experience even better. We started with the pork belly skewers topped with ranch, BBQ, crushed cashews, and pickled red onions -- 10/10. Huge portion and packed with flavor. The balance of sweet, tangy, and crunchy was perfect. The chicken Caesar sandwich was sooo good. It's a massive sandwich with a crispy chicken cutlet topped with Caesar salad, pickled red onions, and chickpeas. Fair warning: it's a little hard to eat because of the size, but completely worth it. The dressing leans more vinegar-forward than creamy, which I personally loved. I'd honestly order it again just as a salad. The truffle parm fries were another 10/10 -- loaded with parmesan and full of flavor. The stout braised beef melt was amazing. Tons of meat and the flavors blended together perfectly. Definitely a standout. The pub chips with added Cajun seasoning were okay -- not bad, just nothing super special compared to everything else. As longtime fans of their previous food truck, we're so impressed with what they've grown into as a restaurant. It's clear they've kept the quality while elevating the whole experience. We'll absolutely be back!

The atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and the customer service was top-notch. What really earned this 5-star review happened after my visit. While reconciling my account on 7/29/26, I noticed a $45 charge for an item I didn't order. I called and spoke with Tiffany, who was incredibly kind and assured me she would speak with the manager, Philip. When I called back the next day, Katie was already expecting my call and immediately connected me with Philip. He had all the details, sincerely apologized, refunded the $45 without hesitation, and even gave me his personal number in case the refund didn't post. That level of honesty, communication, and trust is rare. Thank you, Tiffany, Katie, and Philip, for turning a billing mistake into an example of exceptional customer service. If you're looking for amazing comfort food, friendly people, and a place that truly feels like home, Bear Walrus is it. It's Rock Hill's version of "Cheers."

Bartenders were really entertaining and I actually preferred it. We've had dinner there before and opted not to move to a table. Prime rib - Friday night special. AMAZING. 8 oz portion rare was juicy and so flavorful. Crust was peppery and delicious, perfect with savory heat from the horseradish cream. Mac and cheese was super creamy and just the right amount of pepper, made with shells, cheese pull galore. The collards were on point and packed with chunks of pork. The tri tip was sliced thin and stayed juicy but that chimichurri was the showstopper. It was fresh and spicy and totally made the dish! Beans were too smoky for me, hubby said they were good. Potato salad was solid but not sure any potato dish could top that Mac! Sparkling rose was just a teensy bit sweet, very refreshing and divine. Bartender said it's one of the best wines on their list. Hubby had Tito's and cranberry, also excellent. They have a good draft selection too. No oysters for us on this trip, but they did have a list and the raw bar was fully seated and enjoying them. We totally enjoyed oysters last time. Longer table down the middle would make it easy for large parties and they did have several large groups in as well. Overall it was a pretty energetic vibe with a fun but casual ambience. Dress it up if you like, but jeans are also okay. Games were on the three TVs at the bar, or maybe there were 4 TVs. Bartenders were fun to hang out with and provided all the menu recommendations and entertainment we could want.

Ah, behold, my friends, an enchanting tale of gastronomic adventure at Hickory Tavern! We had journeyed to a new realm of this establishment, which we rarely tread, to join our companions. Normally, the fare brings joy to my heart, for they possess a splendid array of protein options and other healthful delicacies. Yet, lo and behold, on this fateful day, they tempted us with an irresistible offer of 75 cent chicken wings! Alas, I wrestled with the dilemma of choosing a healthier option, but the allure of such a deal was too mighty to resist. Alas, misfortune struck! The wings were overcooked, tough, and devoid of flavor, akin to the fiery breath of a dragon without its might! We sampled the medium, red dragon, and dry rub, but alas, they danced in a monotonous harmony of blandness, causing unanimous dismay amongst our fellowship. Verily, those wings were the foulest to cross my palate in ages. It is a riddle unsolved, for the food here usually pleases. Thankfully, my wife's chicken sandwich brought solace to the realm of her taste buds. A saving grace amidst the winged misfortune. However, let me share yet another grievance that plagues this tavern of hickory. Their craft beer list, bereft of novelty, lacked the adventurous spirit I sought. Aye, it was a collection one could find in the realm's every nook and cranny, rendering it far from enchanting. Despite these woes, I shall not swear off this tavern entirely, for its atmosphere bears the charm of a noble sports bar, adorned with grand TVs throughout. But when next we dine here, the wings shall require careful contemplation, and I shall pray for their culinary redemption! read more

Just keeps getting worse every time I give it a try. Food quality down. Service is either obnoxious or poor. Managers attack you with this supposed customer service or servers look unhappy. I e said it before, not everyone wants a manager to come to your table. I don't need you unless I ask for you. If I need a refill don't yell at my server, just get it. The manager with the rainbow hair is ridiculous. What an embarrassment to reflex your company. I'm done with Hickory Tavern. I used to buy my staff gift cards to get the holiday deal but no more. I'm contacting them about getting my money back. I use gift cards as incentives and the Hickory Tavern ones are collecting dust. Pretty sad when they choose Waffle House (no offense) over a supposed upscale sports bar. I'm done!! read more

Service was on par at the bar. I ordered a Highland Gaelic Ale and I always figure any chicken place can perfect white meat, but the one that can make a plate of dark meat into an enjoyable meal and make me crave for more is a keeper. Well, the squash casserole that my wife recommended was the tasty part of the meal. The garlicky new potatoes tasted reheated and the chicken was under cooked. The price was great but regardless of price I expect a good meal. At a roasting place I expected the chicken to be falling off the bone or at least be cooked to a temperature to breakup the connective tissue and this was the opposite. I ate as much as I could stomach and then I focused on the reheated garlicky potatoes and squash casserole. The squash casserole did rock.

It's fresh, I think, it's chunky, and it's got that lime kick that actually makes sense. It's not that neon green paste they try to slide you at the grocery store. When you combine the two, it's a beautiful thing. It's a peaceful transaction. No complaints. No notes. Just pure, unadulterated productivity. If you aren't ordering this, you're just making poor life choices. 10 out of 10.

Anytime you drive past this Sonny's you can smell that BBQ smoke just wants to draw you in for some goodness!

There is a curbside pickup spot right out front so I parked there and let them know via the app I was there. Shortly thereafter a friendly staffer brought out my order. First let me say they really prepare you for a feast. Loads of napkins and extra sauce and utensils were provided. For my main dish I ordered the Classic smoked pork sandwich. I got the garlic texas toast and tater tots for my side. As you can see in the photos these were large pieces of toast and plenty of meat! The tots were fried perfectly. Crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside! I also ordered some tenders sauced and tossed in their sweet bbq sauce! These tendies were huge! And not over sauced! There was just enough to add flavor but not make them soggy or drowning in the sauce. As you can see they were hot and juicy and now they are high on my goto place for tenders! I also ordered the chocolate chip cookies for dessert. You get two massive cookies that are not only large in diameter but they are thick too! It was all so good I came back the next day for a redo of that classic BBQ sandwich. I can't say enough good things about my meals here. If you want some yummy BBQ you gotta stop in!

I called an hour and a half before my party arrived of 20 and spoke with a large party manager Montana and my party had to wait close to two hours after our arrival for a table. What blows my mind is that they will put parties of a smaller number on their weight as a call ahead and they don't have to wait as long. However, large parties don't get that same courtesy. I feel like this policy is completely backwards and it frustrates me to no end. I'm not sure if it's because the majority of the staff is young or they just don't care but I have a hard time interacting with them. There were several interactions during our visit they ruined the experience. For example since we had to wait the long period of time I told all of my family to know what they wanted to order. I asked the hostess for a menu for an older family member to look at and she told me they didn't have menus that I could either scan and look at the menu on a phone or stand and look at the menu tucked away close to the To-go area. I said I need the menu for a person over 75 yrs old and she looked at me like tough cookies and continued back to what she was doing. I'm so glad the Steele Creek area is getting a new location and hopefully we won't have to deal with some of this. Probably won't fix the large party issue (since this seems like a general company policy) but it makes me happy we won't have to travel so far to get to a location on a regular basis.
