Get one for the table to share! Absolutely delicious bloody Mary's and service is always with a smile - no matter how busy and crazy it gets! The owner is always checking on tables, bussing them when needed. Check them out - the outside isn't very flashy, to say the least - and we wouldn't have thought to stop In had not our friends invited us to join them to be Sunday after church. So glad they did! We love it!

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.

You could see the smoker on the property. What set this apart was the choice of sides.

So we decided that we were going to give it a try. After looking at a menu and being approached by the host who gave us a brief introduction to the menu we were in for sure. We asked to sit indoors with it being a windy and somewhat humid day. They have plenty of outdoor seating with umbrellas. We were informed later by our excellent server, Ashlee that there is also seating upstairs! We forgot to take a tour! The decor is very chic, but not overly done. We were seated at a table, but booths are available as well. Even the women's restroom with chic. It needed to be picked up a bit but was nice. Our server Ashlee was excellent! Her upbeat personality and friendliness was in the 10 rating! For only being at the restaurant a couple of weeks I think her vibes will keep bringing customers back. But not only her vibes, the food is very good too! My friends were very happy with their main meal, me as well! I had the Chicken Panini and the companion (side dish) I selected was the Pan Fried Corn. Both very good! We did order shareables too! The Southwest egg rolls and the Charcuterie Board. We were very happy with both! I would definitely order them again. I ordered two alcoholic drinks. My first drink was called the Bees Knees (ginger, honey, lemon bourbon) and an Espresso Martini. Both were good. The ginger was very mild in the Bees Knees. We were quite full so we were not able to enjoy our desserts at the restaurant but did order them to go. We ordered the Crème Brûlée and Key Lime Cheesecakes to go. I enjoyed the Key Lime, a good balance of sweet and tart. A little perfumme for me but still good.The feedback on the Crème Brûlée, was ok. I didn't try it. When I visit this area again, I would surely come back here and try some other items on the menu. Parking in this area can be quite busy, especially on the weekends. We came during the weekday in July after 1pm. We had to circle a few times before we got a parking spot. Come early!

When I went to use the bathroom about an hour later, they had heavily perfumed the restuarant.

Chicken Salad Chick is a chain, fast-casual restaurant that is mostly based in the South. It has…read morerecently been going viral so I wanted to try it out. The star of the show is their chicken salad which comes in fruity, traditional, savory, and spicy flavors. Other than their chicken salad (which comes in scoops to eat with crackers or in a sandwich), there are some simple sides (e.g., chips, soup). I believe their soups change from time to time. The inside of this location is pretty basic with the usual amount of tables and seats for a fast-casual restaurant. I ordered online and I was handed my order at the front by a very nice worker! I got the Kickin' Kay Lynne on a croissant along with a side of Loaded Potato Soup. The Kickin' Kay Lynne was under the spicy part of their menu and it has a bunch of good flavors including ranch, bacon, cheddar cheese, Sriracha, jalapeños, and more. I kind of wish it had a stronger kick, but it tasted solid on the croissant. The order also came with a pickle (delicious) and a buttercream cookie, which was a nice addition. I enjoyed the Loaded Potato Soup more than I thought I would. It was not salty at all, which surprised me in a good way. It was warm, creamy, and tasty! I definitely want to come back to try the other flavors on the menu as there is a lot to choose from. And while chicken salad is not anything fancy, I really felt like the food was like a warm hug to me. It tasted simple but enough to satisfy me.

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.
