The longest drive thru ever- expect a minimum of 10 minutes with one car in front. It really deserves 2 stars, the reason I was so generous with my stars is: 1. Staff- they are super friendly and apologetic 2. App- if you use the Smoothie King app, you incur points and get great coupons. 3. Shake- their shakes are great- the strawberry slim is frothy and sweet and the nutty super grain is pa led with bananas and peanut butter. Expect a wait! read more

This smoothie king had the rudest employees I've ever seen. One of them was nice and seemed to feel bad for me, but the other two did not want to be bothered with working/taking my order or helping in any way. After spending over $100 I asked them if they had a bag or carrier or anything to carry out all of my stuff and the girl just rolled her eyes said no and walked away. I regret spending a penny in there, but I will never return. Just awful. read more

Order went through online to pick up Saturday, Sept 16 at 8:30 a.m. Payment went through because they open at 8:00 a.m. Nobody is there for me to pick up a PAID order. If your staff isn't going to be at work, the manager or franchise owner needs to shut the app down. read more

No bull sh!? It's good.Seeing a lot of bad reviews saying it takes to long but hey it's good and some times good stuff takes longer to make !!!! read more

Smoothie King - Blueberry Heaven - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Hickory, North Carolina

I waited around 15 mins only for a small smoothie. This worker here handed me the wrong smoothie and then took it back only to give it to someone in the drive threw. The workers were very nice and polite but it was just too slow. Two employees working and the drive threw was around the building and there are many people inside. I will not be returning. read more

I like smoothie king Everytime I go I can't make up my mind what to get what I've gotten was good

Went to Smoothie King on 225 12th Ave NE yesterday and they had a sign out front, "After 4 PM, Angel Food Slim for $4". So I go after 4, order the drink, and it's $7.99?? Cashier says "oh haha that sale starts June 1st"! Why would they put they sign out in May for a sale that starts June?? And it WASN'T funny . I won't be back! read more

I'm "banned" from Hickory store because I contacted the corporate customer service office when there were no medium or large cups--only small--and no lids for the small ones. I was a regular customer and the staff was great. The owner banned me for complaining. I would go there 3-6 times a week, but I could not believe the lack of consideration and horrible attitude of the owner of this franchise. And yes--there were long waits and constant turnover of staff and management read more

I've been to this location multiple times and I've always had a great experience. I've been through the drive-thru recently but the staff and their service is always a pleasant experience. The only reason why I wouldn't give this place 5 stars is because I had to wait for the car in front of me to get their order for 5-10 minutes which is a little long when there were only 2 cars in line. But once I got to the window the service was quick. I definitely recommend the daily warrior wellness smoothie, it has a great taste of berries, then peanut butter with almond to give that taste like you're having dessert but it's all healthy! read more

This location is awesome! The owner is very attentive to the customers and has been doing a great job of keeping the local kids on the right path and encourages them to further their education. The smoothies are always delicious whether you just want a treat or a protein shake. Definitely recommend! read more

This is the worst Smoothie King in the country. Went there the other day to get a smoothie, tried to use my debit card and they said it didn't work. Well, they ran it four times. FOUR TIMES! They said it still didn't work, so I paid in cash and went on my way. The next day I looked on my banking and it had charged my account for four smoothies.... I only got one. So I called the manager, instead of getting my money back or maybe getting a gift card for the amount that they TOOK from me, the manager said that I could get one smoothie a day for the next four days. This place is absolutely ridiculous, last time I will go there, after I get my money back. read more

Drove on my lunchtime to get my green tea smoothie, pulled into the drive thru and waited behind two cars, finally got up to order and a guy says, "We're closed right now." CLOSED AT 1PM ON A MONDAY?!? Left with no smoothie and decided to give them a call since apparently someone is there... no answer. Maybe an emergency happened but next time inform people why your closed, rather than giving no reason to being closed in the middle of the day. read more

I just ordered my smoothie at the smoothie King And had the rudest person ever to wait on me here!!!! She was just absolutely nasty!! If I were the owner I would terminate her! I will never return there again!! read more

I hate to give bad reviews but I've been to this location three times in one week (10-4-19) and twice they were closed. No reason or anything, wasn't late it was in the middle of the day. Also has the slowest drive thru around. Update 10/12/19: google says they open at 6 am, it's 10 am and not even open, there door even says they open at 6 am every morning. read more

Horrible service. Was given the wrong shake and was charged for it too. Service was horrible. Took 10 min just for a shake. It's disappointing to see a place be so bad. read more

I love smoothie king as a franchise- but this one is poorly run and I always wait at least 15 minutes even if there is no line. Today I waited 35 minutes in line and used a ton of gas. I did not drive away after I ordered because I believe that is very rude- but I certainly wanted to. This wait was ridiculous and they should honestly be paying me the $5. Will not be returning again. read more

Slowest smoothie king ever. If you have somewhere to be make sure you leave like 20 minutes earlier maybe even more if there's more than one car in line. read more

I LOVE Smoothie King...in fact, I was SO excited when they announced a new location in Hickory. HOWEVER- this is the SLOWEST Smoothie King I have ever been to. If you need to get to work on time, make sure you leave a good 10 minutes to wait in the drive-thru (IF there are no other cars of course....if there's a line, good luck getting out of there in 15-20 minutes with your smoothie). Great product, but needs some serious staffing and/or training overhaul! read more

No Fruit in the fruit smoothies! Absolutely horrible! I ordered a blueberry smoothie & it tasted so sweet I couldn't drink it. I asked if it had blueberries in it and they said no, they used a concentrated blueberry juice. I then asked the young lady to see the box for the concentrated blueberry juice and it contains no blueberries! How can you make and advertise fruit smoothies that use no fruit and use a juice that contains no for it? I go back to Copperbean where they use Real Fruit! read more

This Smoothie King is horrible. I really love the smoothies but the wait is ridiculous and I am concerned about the cleanliness and the ingredients used at this location. Who owns this franchise???? I sat there from 1:44 PM until 2:13 PM when I finally got to the window and was asked if they had taken my order... I was livid. I said if you have not started making my smoothie or even know what I ordered I'm out of here and will never come back. There were only four cars in front of me read more

nothing wrong with the smoothies. but had a very rude employee tell us they were closing in 5 minutes and to hurry up. i've worked in business where people would SIT DOWN at restaurants 5 minutes before closing. however i understand the frustration but if you wanna get tipped good. or if you wanna be known for great service maybe be much more kind!! we will not be going back to our local one! read more

I really enjoy smoothie king but I was totally disappointed in how this one is staffed. Lines on Friday night are always long and they usually have 2 employees during prime time which to me , does not seem to be nearly enough. I happened to have a chance to speak with the manager, Adam, and explained he needed more help on Friday nights. Adam, acted as if he could care less and said "We're fine" and walked away. I don't plan on going back until the management changes. I feel Adam could care less about his customers and is not interested in fixing any issues. read more

I normally don't leave reviews on much of anything. In fact, I visit this place several times a year. I never gave a problem. However today I decided to through the drive thru. First of all, let me say I genuinely feel bad for the poor girl that was working all by herself. She was doing everything she could to keep up. I'm not sure who the loud mouth, obnoxious woman was that unnecessarily stood there and ran her mouth talking to the employee about a mere $25 worth of change in the drawer, but she was distracting her from doing her job and made comments about how she wished she could help her but she couldn't. I'm not sure if she was related to management or what, but my family and I literally stood at the counter for TEN minutes without even being acknowledged. The woman standing to the side and talked about how hard she worked in her life and how she understood what is was like to work all by herself. Then she proceeded to say that this establishment was going to hell in a hand basket. WELL I CAN SEE WHY. If you work there, get in there and help. If you don't, leave and quit interfering with people who are. I gave it two stars because the smoothie was actually very good. Management needs to their priorities straight. read more
