My favorite is the lemon rub wings, they do them SO well every single time. The flavor is amazing, the pricing is just right, and I've never been disappointed. The atmosphere is great too, and even their burgers are really good! Seriously some of the best wings I've ever had in NC

We were "skeedaddling" from Carey NC and in need of dinner when my wife came upon McGuires Pub in…read moreHickory NC. The pub is in the basement of a building which is not always a good thing but in this case, it worked well! The spiral staircase added character to the pub and the character kept on keepin' on as we entered the restaurant. The inside is brick and wood which gives a pleasant dive feel. The staff was friendly and we were seated promptly. It was around 7:30 pm on a Saturday evening so it was pleasantly uncrowded. We ordered Irish potato soup, fried cheese curds, the Reuben on sourdough bread and fish n' chips. They were all amazing!! I had the soup and it was delicious- it was their take on French onion soup with potatoes and carrots. They always have it so if you like soup- GET IT! The cheese curds were legit- the cheese was tasty and the breading just right. My wife ordered the Rueben on sourdough instead of the offered rye. The sandwich was a classic Reuben which my wife liked so much that I had to have a bite. It was great! Plenty of corned beef and hash with a sauce that added the right amount of tang. My son ordered the fish and chips. The fish was outstanding and my son and I both agreed that it was as good as fish that we had recently had in London- awesome! One note about the fries- the fries were scrumptious and came in a shape that seems like they shaved from a potato rather than the usual shape of a fry. The shape was neat but the taste was no joke- delicious. Oh, and if you like sweet tea, they have it.;) Overall, it was a great dinner in a great place with friendly people at a fair price. Now we know where to go the next time we are in Hickory. If you live in the area and haven't tried McGuires, do yourself a favor and go!!! Thanks, McGuire's Pub!!

MLB had a hamburger steak plus sweet potato fries and green beans; comes with grilled peppers and onions and texas toast - you're basically getting an extra side for a quarter. I didn't feel like building a sandwich so I went with the Carolina burger sans chili plus tots - a very good burger as burgers go but nothing spectacular. will probably ask for the chili on the tots next time... maybe add cheese and onion? super friendly service and a reasonable cash-for-sustenance exchange rate makes me happy. the place is way clean inside and out which goes a long way when I notice. so if you're near here, go here. you'll be alright.

Fourk is located in the Viewmount area of Hickory. They have a free parking lot across the street,…read moreand if that fills, there is street parking. The space is open with high ceilings. I admired the artwork. The cascading glass waterfall is what first caught my eye when I entered. Fourk has been open since 2015 and serves New American cuisine with a twist. I was warmly welcomed when I entered and got seated at a round booth with a great view, near the artwork that caught my eye. They really know how to treat single diners here, which is rare these days. I liked that I got the best table in the place, and that they didn't attempt to seat me at the bar. My waitress was friendly and incredibly attentive. She helped me select a mocktail while going over the daily specials, and she even brought me the dessert menu near the beginning of my meal so I could plan ahead. The menu had many options in all price ranges. You can get sandwiches, burgers, salads and more high-priced entrees like mahi mahi, scallops and filet mignon. I went with the daily special, which was the Oscar Filet Mignon. It came with hollandaise sauce and grilled shrimp, and that combination intrigued me. I had the Party Punch mocktail, but it was perfect with strawberries, basil, pineapple and ginger ale. The filet mignon and topping were also amazing. I even had room for dessert and knew I had to try the blackberry wine cake, and that didn't disappoint either. This was a very special meal for me, as it marked the first leg of my trip to finish visiting all 100 North Carolina counties. With the great atmosphere, service, and food, Fourk set the bar incredibly high for the rest of my journey. I might need to make another special trip just to dine here again. The murder mystery nights and the live music nights are an added plus.

When you enter, a menu is displayed on the wall to your left, and you place your order at the register. They conveniently let you pay either before or after you dine, and you are given a fun animal marker for your table so the staff knows exactly where to bring your food--my animal was a little sheep, which was such a fun quirk! The layout features a great mix of counter seating, booths, and standard tables, along with a nice outside patio. I really enjoyed the artwork on the walls and the view of the open kitchen. While they don't officially have a mocktail menu, they were more than happy to mix up a non-alcoholic version of any cocktail they offer; I went with the basil berry, and it was fantastic! For my meal, I ordered the grilled cheese sandwich on sourdough and added a side of mac 'n' cheese. Yes, it was an absolute mountain of cheese, but that mac 'n' cheese was so incredibly cheesy and delicious! I didn't realize initially that customers are supposed to pick up their own silverware and napkins from a station, but when my order was brought out, the server realized I didn't know and kindly brought a fork and napkin right to my table. The food, atmosphere, and thoughtful service easily earn this spot a full 5 stars!
