I had concerns about the menu with part of it seemingly bar food and the other part seemingly fine dining. Risotto? Short ribs? Can a new place pull this off? Well they did and at a very reasonable price and portion!! I actually had their house made Mac and cheese with 2 add ons from a nice list of options. My dining partner had their short ribs and substituted extra veggies for the mashed potatoes. I tasted it and it was perfect. The stuffed jalapeno appetizer was very good. I gawked at platters of other foods going by and it all looked delicious! Now this place has a very nice patio for cooler weather and a huge main dining room. The surprise was the bourbon room, which looked like an old-money private club, and across from that a pool room with 3 pool tables. This is really a nice place and I wish the owners well! Sorry for the long review! Can't wait to come back and try other things and cold frosty beverages!

So we ordered a lot of food for rehearsal dinner the day before. All the meat and sides were quickly packed up when we arrived. Smelling food on the way to dinner was difficult. The Pulled Pork was amazing. Beans were great. Collard Greens were amazing - I managed to get one serving before they were gone! Mac & Cheese and Hushpuppies were great. Coleslaw was creamy and delicious. Plenty of sauces were provided. Not much was left after dinner. The only disappointment was the hot sauce. The owner said they made their own Ghost Pepper sauce. Well, several of our family love really spicy food, like Thai. Their sauce had very little heat, almost none. Kick it up a bit then caution people and make it hot!

BUT TODAY (8/27/26) my husband and I wanted to go there again for a lunch date and when we went there for lunch. We went inside to order and the sane woman was there but this time she seemed super unfriendly this go around. I ordered some fried corn nuggets and I reminded her that the last time we were there that she told me she liked eating the fried corn nuggets herself when a fresh batch was put it. Telling her that didn't jog her memory at all. We waited for our food and we were the only ones eating there and I glanced around... the tables and stools looked like they hadn't been wiped down in a while. We got our food and our bbq meat was not hot at all... barely warm! There was no smokey flavor to the meat and most of it was soaked in some type of vinegar sauce which was nasty tasting. Come to find out, it was their House Sauce. I was able to get some thicker bbq sauce only upon asking a man behind the counter, as there were no sauce bottles on the tables. While eating, I saw a large garbage can with an orange lid near the tables. It was so gross looking that I was definitely done trying to eat at that point. I felt that at some point they could have replaced that can with a nicer looking one. We spent $34 and it was not worth it. The customer service was zero, the meat was bland, and there was no atmosphere. We were not impressed and we will not be going back to this restaurant and it's under 2 miles from our house.

There are movie themed decorations all around. Robocop, Gremlins, Back to the Future and others. Pinball machines in one area, and a Glaw machine with space creatures in another. Very colorful and fun ambiance. Our daughter suggested the Salad / Pizza / Pasta / Soup buffet. We agreed and started with salads from a great variety of choices, even Green Peas, my favorite. Grandkids went straight for pizza slices - several times. Excellent salad fixings. The adults started on pizza, and a great variety of pizzas available, not just a couple. My son-in-law mentioned they always had three different soups at same end of pasta choices. He came back with a bowl of Italian Wedding soup, his favorite. When I finished my salad ( I try to eat slowly with good food) and got a bowl of that soup. Hot and delicious! I ate every bite of it. Then I tried a bowl of a creamy soup that looked like Potato soup but with Broccoli and Carrots. It was also very good but Italian Wedding soup was the best. My grandson, a HS Senior football player, about 280, came back with a small bowl of spaghetti, and about a dozen meatballs balanced carefully on top! He mentioned they also had Lasagna. Wow. I passed the pasta and grabbed a piece of Mexican pizza - hello delicious Taco! And also took a piece of Apple Pie pizza, my daughter's suggestion. It was wonderful! Best ever. Our server, Ash, was unbelievable! It was a busy time with most tables taken, but she managed to keep our drinks filled, our plates cleared, and asking if we needed anything. Wonderful food, great fun ambiance, and top notch service. This a pizza place on Steroids! If you're in the area, you must try it!

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.

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.
