We look for highly rated restaurants, close to the interstate and which have outdoor seating because we have dogs. Bringing water for our dogs and cups to take our sweet tea with us, our server, Kiersten, was the epitome of friendly southern hospitality. The barbecue was delicious. You could see the smoker on the property. What set this apart was the choice of sides. There were several sides such as green bean casserole and creamed corn that you don't see at other barbecue joints. We will definitely be back on our next trip to NC.

Tried Hugh Q's BBQ and honestly... pretty mixed experience…read more The cheese curds were hands down the highlight -- uniquely made, you could tell they were fresh, and they came out crispy and full of flavor. Easily the best thing on the table and definitely worth trying. Unfortunately, everything else just didn't live up to it. The BBQ and brisket were a letdown -- lacking flavor, not as tender as expected, and just didn't have that true smoked BBQ quality you look for, especially in a place like Hickory where the standard is high. Service and atmosphere were fine, nothing bad there, but when the main focus is the food, it just didn't deliver the way I hoped it would. Left feeling disappointed and honestly wishing I had gone somewhere else. Might give it another shot down the road, but based on this visit, it didn't live up to the hype for me.

Good selection of typical bar foods, with decent sized portions and multiple TV's going so you can keep up on whatever event you may need to. Service might have been a little slow, but the place was very busy being one of the few open, so I give the staff a pass, as they were running around trying to keep up. If you need a late night snack this is the best place in Hickory, if other places are open and you have choices, this would still be a good stop to check out,

We stumbled upon Pho Lodge while shopping at the mall--completely by accident while visiting from…read moreout of State. Inside, we were greeted warmly by a staff member and was told it will be about a 15 mins wait. They offer counter service--you order first, then find a seat wherever you like. The ambiance was a mix of cozy and rugged, with wildlife trophies lining the walls, adding a touch of charm. We tried two pho bowls: the broth was light yet flavorful, perfectly balanced, with tender slices of beef and fresh herbs that brought it all together. The kids' pho was a smaller portion meatballs, but just as satisfying, a perfect introduction for little ones. The papaya salad was crisp and refreshing. It was also was the best restaurant papaya I've had. It was pungent, tangy, sweet, spicy and paired well with our meal. The egg rolls were golden and crispy, packed with savory filling that was comforting and familiar. For drinks, the mango bobas stole the show--sweet, tropical, and fun with their chewy pearls. Pho Lodge is definitely on the top of our list when visiting Hickory.

Haven't been inside but the parking lot needs work. Pot holes and overgrown grass.

When we first drove into the parking lot, there was a homeless man soliciting at the entrance…read more Then there were three more homeless people standing at the entrance of the restaurant, smoking cigarettes. One of whom did not have any shoes on. I wanted to leave, but my wife had her heart set for Popeyes. Once we completed our order on the app, the shoeless homeless woman entered the restaurant and was greeted by an employee. This employee obviously knew the woman and they began to socialize. His Popeye's t-shirt was very dirty, and he wore clothing that did not suit a restaurant environment and was not clean himself. Another employee stated that dirty employee was a cook/maintenance person. After socializing, the dirty employee went back into the kitchen without washing his hands. The bathroom did not appear to have been cleaned in a while. There were no paper towels. The door handles of the bathroom and restaurant were dirty. The table was not particularly clean. There were homeless people who were allowed to come and go in the dining area and the bathroom. Once we got our order, we immediately left. Upon exiting the restaurant I noticed a machette leaning against the trash bin. I went back into the restaurant and alerted the manager. She had an employee retrieve the machette. I also let her know about the dirty employee, and alerted her to the fact there were multiple homeless people in her parking lot. She did not seem surprised and did not seem to care. I further alerted another employee (Nathan) to the fact that there were additional homeless people hanging out in the dumpster shelter, and suggested they call Hickory Police to take care of the issue. Nathan actually seemed to care about the condition of the area. I expressed to the manager that I did not feel comfortable eating the chicken that we had purchased. She offered a replacement, but did not offer a refund. We chose to leave the location and expressed that we would not be returning to this location ever. At time we are reluctant to return to ANY Popeyes. We left the restaurant without eating our order. When we go home, we observed that the chicken appeared to be stale and overcooked. I had eaten worse and was very hungry, so I took a chance, and ate it. I pray I don't get ill.
