    Southwestern Omelette
    Reagan B.

    My friends and I stopped here as a road trip pit stop and were delighted to see the restaurant was accompanied by the store front. Lots of beer, ciders, wine, cheese and meats! This was a fun way to spend the 25 min for a table. But also dangerous lol. My favorite purchase was the freshly baked bread. Omg perfect for garlic bread. This part of the whole ordeal is what upped the experience from a 3 star to a 4 star Now as for the restaurant, it was okay. The cauliflower fritters were delicious and probably our favorite thing we ordered. Very cheesy and crispy and came with a tasty butter. I ordered the southwestern omelette and it came with cheesy grits (YUM!) and toast with apple butter. The grits were definitely the best part. I could've eaten just a big bowl of those. My friends weren't as pleased with their meals: the Philly cheesesteak (she didn't like the cheese sauce) and the breakfast sandwich on Texas toast (she said it just was over all pretty basic). The really down part was the service. Our server was obviously very unhappy to be there. She was pretty busy, which I understand, but doesn't mean you have to have a bad attitude. Again, thankfully they had the fun store and the lady at the store front counter was AMAZING! She was juggling A LOT. Helping us with cheeses and desserts while also answering the phone for take out orders and miscellaneous questions. Huge props to her.

    Beet salad

    Wow!! The food is 100 on flavor, our server was very sweet and did a fantastic job and the atmosphere was amazing we sat on the covered porch it has nice size tables lots of space. I ordered a side of steak to go with my salad and it was so flavorful and tender I was very impressed. The beet salad had all kinds of flavors candied pecans and goat cheese, green apple slivers on a bed of mixed greens. With balsamic vinegar dressing. My husband had his sandwich and I tried one of his fries they were excellent. I'm so happy to have found this place on yelp. We will definitely be back. All of that plus two drinks was $41.20 and the salad was a very good size.

    This place is beautiful and when you walk in there's a shop filled with craft beers, Cheese and desserts. There's a lot of variety of beers. The service was awesome. Very helpful and keep our drinks refilled! There's patio, indoor and bar seating. Good for a nice date or drinks with ya friends. The food came out warm to cool. From the burgers to fries. But other than that everything was perfect and delicious!

    Chicken Salad Sandwich with Mac and cheese side
    Christine G.

    We arrived downtown after a long walk on the Riverwalk a short drive away. We arrived on Monday Memorial Day, when there was not much open downtown. We decided to lunch at Olde Hickory Station, but there was about a 20 minute wait. Service was good, food was a little slow, but the place was very busy today. We tried the chicken salad sandwich with a side of Mac and cheese. Was yummy and the Mac and cheese was thick and very cheesy. We also had the Smoked bbq sandwich with the fried okra and the fire and smoke burger with a chicken patty and side of steak fries. Aoli was way too spicy so we went with what tasted like a house made bbq sauce which was good. The bbq pulled pork needed a little more sauce so I tried the bbq sauce and it was better. The place was definitely overwhelmed by the crowd but since nothing else was open, they did their best to accommodate. We had a good experience and good service. We will come back here, maybe for their breakfast next time.

    Boxcar Turkey Sandwich with Mac and Cheese

    I came for brunch with some friends and everyone enjoyed their food. The ambiance in this restaurant is really cool, I love seeing how they converted an old train station into a restaurant/store! The service was top notch and our waitress was attentive. I had the Boxcar Turkey Sandwich with Mac and Cheese. The sandwich was served warm and open-faced. I loved the caramelized onions that came on it, it was very homey and tasty. Next time I'm in Hickory I will visit again and try something new!

    Nice holiday glassware. Merry Christmas (Eve!)

    We visited for a late lunch on Christmas Eve. It was a nice halfway meetup with a friend from out of town. There was plenty of parking, lot and on the street. The building is in the old train depot and they've kept so much of the charm in the design. The entry area is an upscale market with local beers, a decent wine selection, meats/cheeses/baked goods in the counters and lots of NC packaged snacks. The restaurant had a good variety on the menu, but not so vast that they couldn't do it all well. (Pizzas, salads, sandwiches). We had the hot sandwiches and fries. The Philly Cheesesteak was big! It did have orange cheese sauce instead of the more traditional provolone. I had a grilled chicken sandwich with pimiento cheese and fried okra (and lettuce and tomato.). It came open faced so I had the okra first then enjoyed the rest as a sandwich. Both were really good (and more than we could handle in one sitting!) We also enjoyed a Pilsner and the west coast IPA. Both Olde Hickory brew and both quite good! The room was probably about half full with small and medium sized parties. It looked like they had 2 waitstaff and one bartender but we were well taken care of.

    Smoke it if you got it

    We arrived into town late on a Sunday night and needed a place for a late meal. Oldest Hickory Station was perfect! It was cool enough to sit comfortably outside and enjoy the lightning show from our table. Our waitress was very friendly and welcomed us to town. We started with a flight of beer and cider- so fun that they had so many choices! Then we enjoyed the corn dip appetizer and the Smoke it if you Got It platter. Everything was delicious. There is a very nice market there too that had all sorts of goodies and the best looking desserts. Highly recommend this place!

    Such a great little spot! I was here this past Monday for a business lunch. Had no idea I would be stepping back into history. Between the market at the front, bar in the middle, and restaurant in the back , I could not help but think of Dean & Deluca! Our server too during lunch was wonderful. She was very attentive, friendly and informative. When I am back in hickory I will certainly be stopping by the Olde Hickory Station.

    Nice place off Union square that has a little bit of everything. Inside they also have a small deli. As a family we ordered a build your own pizza with pepperoni, sausage, ham, and mushrooms. For a place that doesn't just specialize in pizza, the pizza itself was excellent! Came out piping hot, good cheese to toppings ratio and soft but crisp crust. I saw some of the nearby tables' dishes come out and their food looked good as well. Service was average. Would return

    Wine shop

    Five star experience!!! I came here on a Sunday at around 11:30am. I got there just before the crowd and grabbed a seat at the bar. The bartender was spectacular. She managed a busy bar on her own with ease and a great friendly disposition. I ordered the Lavender Empire cocktail and it was delicious. I also tried the lunch steak special which was a sirloin, mashed potatoes and asparagus for $18! It was delicious and perfectly cooked. The space itself is also super cool. It's inside an old train station and has some classy historical vibes. They also have a little market that serves up a wide variety of desserts, wine, beer, and more! I highly recommend this spot!

    I dined at Olde Hickory Station twice. I had a great dinner so decided to try the brunch. The restaurant is in a historic train station. There is indoor and outdoor seating as well as plenty of parking areas in Union Square. My dinner was fantastic. I was seated right away at a booth and they didn't try to seat me at a bar so that is a plus for the restaurant. My waiter was friendly and answered all of my questions about the menu. I went with a burger and fries and the fries were steak fries and came out piping hot so I was enjoying that. The burger was cooked to order and had a lot of toppings except onions which I didn't want. I wasn't hungry but did get dessert too. It was called a Florida Orange cake which was basically like a creamsicle and was so very good. (there wasn't any left the next morning as I checked when I got there for brunch) I was given a tea to go as well and plenty of refills when I was there as I had a busy day and don't think I had anything to drink. Brunch was disappointing coming from such a great dinner. I love eggs benedict so when I saw the selections on the menu knew I had to try one. I went with the West Coast Benedict as the Appalachian came on a biscuit and not an English muffin. The biscuit might have been better as I think they forgot to toast the English muffin. I didn't like the muffin part. I was also disappointed not to get runny yolks as that is the best part. I didn't care for what I ordered and would not get it again. Service also wasn't as good and she kept getting too close. I will stick with dinner at Olde Hickory Station.

    Nice old train station building looks cool. And the air conditioning is powerful. A bit too powerful. Service is ok, nice people. Food is good, steak fries with the burgers are filling. Took a bit too long on the service. Chocolate chip brownie was very good, but just plain and cold from the desert case. Imagine what it could have been warmed with a dolop of whipped creme to dress it up.

    Raw hamburger

    What a horrible disaster!!! This place is in the old Hickory train depot wonderful beautiful building great atmosphere you would think it would be a great place to celebrate someone's birthday like we did, but it was not. It was a horrible experience. An hour and a half later the birthday girl still had not received her food. Out of 6 adults and 6 children 6 of the burgers were nearly raw and all were requested well done. Server was horrible and had a terrible attitude. The manager came to our table to personally apologize and said he completely agreed with us, our food was nearly raw. He was cool!! we are not diners with an attitude. We are very laid-back and easy to get along with me my wife my daughter have all been servers in restaurants in our younger days and know how it can go, but I would highly recommend against coming here extremely bad experience. This is the third time I have been here and it has never been a great experience food wise the atmosphere and company was great. I only agreed to attend because it was a friend's birthday dinner. When the birthday girl finally got her food an hour and a half later the order was wrong as well three strikes you're out. These photos are of our supposed to be well done burgers. On a semi positive/ negative sidenote the manager told my daughter for each of us to get a free dessert on the way out they have an extremely nice dessert bar as you're exiting the building however, when we got up there, the lady accused us of lying about him, giving us each a free dessert for our horrible experience!!
