North Hickory Market is a new and local restaurant in Hickory. The focus seems to be on typical…read moreAmerican food, mostly brunch and sandwiches along with some special dinner items. It is quite spacious inside and there is a section that offers outdoor seating underneath the roof, which is nice. Our server was attentive, although one of the orders was initially forgotten. That got resolved quickly. I got the Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Sandwich on their homemade focaccia. Honestly, for such a simple sandwich, it was delicious! The bacon was not too salty and the eggs and cheese were not too overwhelming on the sandwich. My cousins enjoyed the Italian Stallion and Bagel & Lox (although they ran out of bagels when we arrived for dinner, so my cousins substituted with toast). They also really loved the Side Caesar Salad! I will say that I feel kind of cheated by my server. He initially asked if I wanted a side with my sandwich, basically insinuating that it was included with or part of the sandwich. To confirm that, I asked him if the side would be part of the meal. He nodded in agreement and was like "Sure, if you want it to be," so I got the Potato Wedges as my side. They were seasoned well and came with a dipping sauce that kind of tasted like vinegary honey mustard. But at the end, we were all charged for our sides. I see that the menu does mention sides costing extra, but I do not understand why that was not made clear to us by the server when he asked the question about sides. I was not even thinking about sides for my order until he brought it up. So I think the server could have made it more transparent that the sides were going to be an additional cost ("Do you want to add a side for an additional cost?"), ESPECIALLY since I had asked him upfront before placing my order. Other than that, I would say this is a solid place for some basic but good sandwiches. I would be interested in coming back and trying the other options on the menu. I also like how calm and quiet the surrounding area of the restaurant is. It makes dining in the outside section feel relaxing.

You can't go wrong with any of it. The vibe inside is so relaxed. They have tons and I do mean tons of beers on tap as well. Whether you want to hang out with friends or have a dinner with a drink, this is it! The dark walls and slow music they play really bring the tone down and let you relax. Even though it's got a decent size bar, it's not overly loud. You could definitely bring your family earlier in the day and enjoy good food together. The service is outstanding and the guy that runs the food out seems like he knows everyone in the building. We had a very nice waitress that hustled throughout the room getting orders with the quickness. Even as busy as it was there never seemed to be a table or patron neglected. Anyone near downtown Hickory should make this a regular place and those out of towners looking for something comfortable with a different twist like tofu shawarma would love this restaurant.

Who possibly wants to eat deep fried breaded grits? We ordered some apps and I forget what my wife and SIL order, but the overall opinion was just OK. No one wanted to return. Plus... the inside restaurant smelled like something died in there. We ate outside, as eating inside was impossible due to the smell. When I went to use the bathroom about an hour later, they had heavily perfumed the restuarant.
