Main Chick Jammin' Biscuits is a casual eatery serving breakfast and chicken biscuits, as well as other related food options. I was intrigued by this spot as there were lots of good reviews. It is located in Downtown Hickory so there are lots of things to do nearby. There is ample seating inside and outside and I found the service to be very friendly. The ambiance was rather quiet when I arrived on a Friday afternoon. I got the BEC and Fried Green Tomatoes. The BEC was filling! The biscuit was in the shape of a square so it was a bit bigger than usual breakfast biscuits. The bacon, egg, and cheese were not too salty together, but I think I would have liked it to taste a bit saltier. I liked the taste of the Fried Green Tomatoes, but they were lackluster in color... a bit pale and not crunchy, but the sauce it came with added more flavor for sure. Overall, I had higher expectations based on reviews but I would probably come back to try their other biscuits, particularly the chicken biscuits. I think I would rate it a 3.5/5 stars if I could. read more

Greeted with a smile, and the full run down of the menu with ingredient sourcing details. The homemade hashbrown cakes are the star here. Don't get me wrong, the biscuits are delicious, but those tater top thingies are We enjoyed the SEC and BEC biscuit sandwiches. Massive biscuits loaded with sausage or bacon and a healthy serving of scrambled egg. This place doesn't skimp on size. We enjoyed the front patio and shaded tables:) read more

OK this place was awesome! We were rolling through the Hickory area on our way to Asheville, and having not had anything of substance yet, decided to hit up our Main Chick for some brunch love. It was just a few minutes off the interstate and with the help of our GPS, we found it tucked away in downtown Hickory, which they are working to revitalize. Places like this will certainly help! The outside and inside are spacious and modern. The menu is enticing, and laid out in such a way that making a decision is easy, despite the wealth of choices. Obviously, chicken biscuits are their main focus here, so we each got one and split them. We also got a side of the "tater tots" which are really like what a McDonald's hash brown wants to grow up to be, and some warm baked apples, which helped offset some of the rich flavors on the biscuits. Our two biscuits were the "hot chick" and the "thick chick" (digging those names) and the first thing you notice is how substantial these biscuits are. Yes, they are priced like a lunch sandwich, but finishing just one of these made me more full and satisfied than most any standard lunch. The biscuit itself is thick, puffy, buttery, and rich. The chunks of chicken were substantial, filling outside the biscuit in both cases. The breading is more akin to like a chick-fil-a as far as thickness than anything, which I like. The hot chick indeed has a nice heat, but I kicked it up even more from their hot sauce selection. The chow chow and pickles offset the pimento cheese and chicken in a delightful way. The thick chick was VERY rich and filling, I mean, gravy, collards, and bacon? It was decadent. Next time, we might just get some of the apples to share as a side, because that sweetness helped balance the richness of both biscuits. The "tater tots" are wonderful, but everything was so filling. Definitely try them your first time and decide for yourself. We will definitely keep this place on our list for any travel through the area, and locals sure as heck should support it! read more

Clean. Friendly staff. Great food. Clean restrooms. Cute atmosphere and great music playing.

Staff was super friendly. Food was great! I definitely recommend. It's a great casual breakfast spot that also serves mimosas/bloody marys. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the bonuts. The waffles with fruit was fantastic though. read more

The food is great! Fresh squeezed oj! Scratch made everything for the most part! Staff is super friendly! Will definitely be coming back!

We stopped on by here one Saturday morning for brunch and were not disappointed! Upon entering they have a nice outdoor patio out front with covered umbrellas and 6 or so tables inside with bar seating as well. The staff are great and helpful with anything needed. The line was long and the tables were full as this is definitely the place to be! This gave me time to dissect the menu for the perfect meal. I ended up getting the thick chick which is an extra crispy piece of chicken on house made biscuit with collards, cheddar cheese, bacon and sawmill gravy. And to say that is a mouthful is an understatement as this sandwich was massive! I also had to try the house made biscuit with brisket redeye gravy. This is shredded brisket and coffee gravy almost like au jus. As weird as this sounds it was actually pretty good and a must try for the adventurous type foodie. My wife got the hot chick. This was an extra crispy piece of chicken on house made biscuit with Nashville hot honey, pimento cheese, chow chow, and B&B pickle. This was also very tasty and paired well with the house made tater tots which are hash browns formed into small squares and fried in lard. For the true foodie looking for an amazing breakfast a little different than most, welcome home! This place is a must try! read more

The location was so convenient and close to everything. My sister and I visited here on a Saturday morning as we had been wanting to try it. It was very busy and the staff seemed a bit overwhelmed. We tried the chicken and waffles and some lattes. All was pretty good, but nothing very memorable. We'd likely try this again when in the area and wanting a quick breakfast. I'd like to try their biscuits next time! read more

Some of the sides are really good. The overall chicken was a bit dry. Biscuits are pretty decent.

Delicious biscuits - and even yummier tater tots! The tater tots are more like big squares of hashbrowns - simply to die for. Fresh squeezed OJ was good but not $5/cup good. Bacon, egg and cheese biscuits were very tasty. Highly recommend. read more

The food is actually pretty good. However, despite the restaurant showing as open online today, when I arrived I was met by an employee standing in the doorway smoking who simply said, "We're closed." It was confusing and disappointing. Businesses really need to do a better job keeping their online hours accurate and ensuring staff communicate more professionally with customers. read more

Very cool concept. Great sandwiches. Leverage the BBQ they do next door to add to their sandwiches. The biscuits were much bigger than expected. The fresh squeezed orange juice and good iced coffee were hits. Really liked the covered hash brown options too. A heavy meal - very filling and very good. read more

Stopped here for lunch on our drive to Asheville. The Main Chick was hands down one of the best chicken biscuit sandwiches I have ever had. The perfect blend of tangy, fatty, and sweet. I wish they had real silverware. Hard to eat with my hands, and very difficult to eat with plastic cutlery. The extensive hot sauce options and hot honey were welcome additions. Worth the stop! read more

Tried it while in town, I love the independent places like this. I had the tater tots and received a order of massive tots with cheese, it looked scrumptious. I also had the the sausage, egg and cheese biscuit and noticed them rolling the dough, it looked great. Unfortunately, neither one of the items tasted like anything, just very ordinary. It like they sprinkled them with blah. Still a neat little place, I'm sure they will do well. When I left, my farts were jammin'. read more

Wow- what a biscuit!!! I wanted to try it all. I got a SEC, Side Chick, and a biscuit w tomato jam and butter, and the hash potatoes. The purity of the biscuit was the best thing that I tried!! Everything was great, but the biscuits are SO perfect it was all that I wanted. The staff are SUPER nice and the eclectics are all there in the ambience. I'll be back tomorrow- lol. read more

Finally got to visit Main Chick today for the first time and I'm already a fan. As an afficionado of biscuits and gravy, I absolutely had to make my first item off the menu the Gravy Train, a biscuit with three different gravies to try - sausage sawmill, tomato gravy and redeye brisket gravy. First, the biscuit - holy wow , this biscuit is legit. Buttery, flaky with just the right amount of crust to it. The first gravy I tried, the sausage sawmill. The first thing that really jumped out to me was the very noticeable inclusion of rosemary. I'm not usually big on rosemary, but this was really, really good in this gravy. Nice amount of sausage chunks and just thick enough to work with the biscuit. Next was the tomato gravy, which is a gravy I wouldn't normally associate with a biscuit. That said, it worked really well. Very thick with a good spice kick to it. Oddly, I feel like I wouldn't be as big a fan if it was on pasta, but with the biscuit it was awesome. Finally, the redeye brisket. From the moment I tasted it combined with the biscuit, I was trying to figure out why this flavor combo triggered a memory in me. And I think I got it - it reminded me of tasting a really, really good shepherd's pie! Delicious brisket, definitely had to come from next door at Cranford Brothers BBQ. Unexpectedly great combo. The prices for what you get portion-wise are MORE than fair, especially when you consider you're getting everything scratch-made. Not disappointed at all, will certainly be coming back to try more. read more

I had really high expectations for this place and unfortunately, they were not met. It is a really modern downtown location very bright and the environment is great to start your day. It is right outside of the main downtown area and has an outdoor area setup for eating. The best part of the meal was the coffee it had bold fresh flavor. If we decide to give it a second chance I will try the fresh squeezed orange juice. I got the gravy biscuit there were several types of gravy to choose from which I thought was really unique. The even offer gravy flights which is cool. I got the sausage sawmill gravy and it was good a little too much sausage for my taste. The biscuits were huge plenty to get anyone completely full. Unfortunately, the rest of the meal was just ok. I expected a place like this to have really good crispy southern fried chicken and that is not at all what we got. The chicken was too small of a portion and not crispy at all. The waffle was nothing special similar to a hotel breakfast. The tater tots are crispy and look amazing and at first seem enjoyable but after eating a couple you start to feel how greasy they are from the lard I believe. I really believe with a few adjustments this place has a real opportunity to be a gourmet breakfast spot. read more

The biscuits were cold and somewhat stale and the tables were dirty. We came around lunch so maybe that mornings biscuits were old. Just not what we were hoping for with that price point. Hopefully we are outliers but we won't go back. read more

First time eating here. Hart and Soul was crowded so we came here and it did not disappoint. Biscuits are huge. Had the Thick Chic which had a thick piece of boneless chicken with bacon, cheese, collard greens and gravy. A meal in itself. Delicious. Wife had a gravy biscuit and she said it was delicious. It will be a repeat. By time we left at 930 am it was crowded. Enjoyed how they painted up the walls. Made you feel very welcomed. read more

This place is next level! Be prepared for a treat in the form of the best biscuit you've ever had. We also got the tater tots which were huge and delicious. Also the coffee (an Americano and a Latte) we excellent. Cute dining room with lots of space. Friendly staff, you can tell the food was made fresh as it took 10 minutes to come out. Will definitely be back next time we're in Hickory. read more

Such good food and the entire staff went above and beyond. Went back the next day because of how good the experience was

Everything we have had so far has been on point. The Thick Chick, Hot Chick, CEC, and Bonuts are what we have tried. (Been twice). The hash browns are Homemade and everyone said they were unbelievable as well as the fried green tomatoes. read more
