Madii was the server and she was as pleasant and helpful as can be. You could quickly tell that she loved working there and had incredibly positive things to say about the restaurant and the owners.

We went for dinner on a Wednesday evening and the place was surprisingly full. The bartender was…read moreimpeccable. I don't think he ever stopped moving and checking on everyone. My only complaint was that the kitchen took a while to get our food out, but the appetizers and salads came out quickly and if I returned super hungry I would order a soup or salad before dinner. My salmon was top notch. The skin was crispy and the meat was perfectly cooked. My god mother loved her tomato bisque and fried oysters. The grits an polenta were what everyone at the bar was talking about. Many of the cocktails looked delicious and I can wait to come back sometime when I can try a few. It's a perfect spot for a special occasion or a date night.

Copper Penny Grill in Hickory was a great first experience, and we will definitely be back. The…read morefood, drinks, atmosphere, and service all exceeded our expectations. We ordered the Cedar Plank Salmon, and the bourbon bacon glaze was outstanding. We also tried the Buffalo Chicken Flatbread, which had the perfect balance of cool ranch flavor and just the right amount of spice. For drinks, we enjoyed the Bananas Foster Old Fashioned, Maple Old Fashioned, and the Gummy Flight. Each one was well-crafted and delicious. One of the highlights of this location is the waterfront setting. We requested outdoor seating and were seated on the upper-level deck overlooking the water. There was live music at the lower-level outdoor bar on Saturday night, and we could still enjoy the music from our table upstairs while taking in the view. We were seated quickly, and every staff member we interacted with was friendly, attentive, and helpful. Although Copper Penny Grill has multiple locations, the Hickory location's waterfront atmosphere makes it especially memorable. If you're looking for great food, creative cocktails, live music, beautiful views, and excellent service, Copper Penny Grill in Hickory is well worth a visit. We look forward to returning and trying more of the menu.

I didn't have any problems with the service everyone was polite and welcoming. From the old pictures not much has changed inside, they painted over the walls so the Carolina Diner isn't there on the wall anymore. Food is really good in my opinion. I had a sausage egg and cheese on a biscuit with a side of bacon bc I wanted to try more of the things for a more comprehensive review, also had some home fries. As my friend had told me "we're in biscuit country" (I was thinking of bagels for breakfast) he was right. Good thing is too no matter the time of day, you can order any part of the menu which is nice

The home fries were amazing, just like the waitress said they would be. Very happy I got my food from there today when I was traveling from Asheville to Morganton for a photo shoot. Very pleased and still taking home leftovers because the portions were large. Definitely recommend!

It is a bar/restaurant that has clearly been around for a minute, with good food. We visited on a…read moreSaturday evening and the place was packed. You enter into the bar area, place your drink and food order at the "hostess counter". They bring your drinks to you and tell you where to sit. It was clean and comfy but new visitors should just be aware that is a relaxed "dive" bar with awesome steaks. The staff was nice and they had an acoustic guitar player for the evening that was very pleasant to listen to. We ordered the "Corn Ribs" that were really tasty. Our cheese burger and roast beef sandwich was really good. Even though we didn't order steaks those around us did and not only did they look and smell delicious the customers I asked about them said they tasted "excellent, divine, cooked perfectly". So it was worth the drive down and barren stretch of Rt 321 to find the place.

Yes, there are chain places very close by, but i will always choose a locally owned place. In writing this review I was surprised to see there seems to be 2 places owned by the same company. Nevertheless, we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. I had the fried Chicken and she had the Country Fried Steak. There was a choise of potatoes and I picked the hashbrowns...also very good. Based on the ambience we hoped it would be good..Surprise it was great! My chicken was well cooked and worth the wait. She agreed hers was very good. The meal was generous, neight of us can eat like we used to so we took the lefyovers with us and they were good later that day. The waitress was friendly, which I readily admit is difficult just off the interstate. We both agreed that it is unfortunate it is unlikely we will return, tourists going cross country. But I greatly recommend stopping if you are close.

As a vegetarian I am highly impressed by the different options and creative spins on the classic sandwich/wrap! Today my wait was a bit long but that first bite made the wait completely worth it. I'm not saying that lightly either, I truly mean it. Each sandwich is hand crafted with care, each recipe has been developed with perfection in mind, and each bite is full of amazing flavor. It's clear someone with a lot of passion and respect for food is running this place! Limbertwig Cafe is a little hidden gem in downtown Morganton and I wish every town had one!

Love it. Always have enjoyed the food. An excellent choice for your office lunch or to dine in.read more
