I mentioned my hubby and I would be sharing. When she came out with three plates, I was worried she misunderstood, but she actually had them split the cherry cobbler and ice cream. Now that was very unexpected, but I loved it. Multiple people stopped by our table to remove finished plates and check if we need anything. The place was like an upscale diner. Cloth napkins, but tvs showing football games. A nice bar, but they ran out of grenadine. No cherries in the Shirley temple. The mint julip was well made. Beef and vegetable soup was great, but the beef was burger. Not what I expected, but the fresh corn in it was wonderful. Black and blue filet salad was fantastic. They did not skimp on the blue cheese, it had spinach, kale, tomatoes and onion. My kiddo had the special, flounder and crab cakes. She said it was decent. Hubby lived the gumbo. I couldn't do 5 stars because the appetizer plates were dirty. All of them. All silverware and glasses were clean, but there was visible food residue on the appetizer plates and that's a big disappointment. To be honest, as someone who likes to eat fresh food, the salad was is definitely something I would recommend.

I did leave room for a warm and rich pecan pie that was topped with vanilla ice cream. Our servers Jaylon and Diana were very attentive and knowledgeable. Always kept our glasses full. There's some comments here on cleanliness, and I want to say that I am a very clean & ocd type of person. I found it to be exceptionally clean. From the moment we walked in, the staff treated us with that kind Southern hospitality. I highly recommend Fresh Chef! And do plan to come back.

This was our first experience and it definitely won't be the last. Where do I begin....well, from the very beginning, when we walked in, we were met with a pleasant hostess, who was smiling and eager to assist. We were immediately seated and greeted by our waitress, who was very knowledgeable and able to provide us with every detail of the menu, as well as, offer food suggestions. It was hard for us to make a decision because they offer a wide variety of choices. Our food arrived fairly quickly considering that it was Father's Day and pretty busy. The food was excellent and full of flavor. You could certainly tell that it was cooked and prepared with skill....remarkably good! We are some pretty hard people to please and they certainly exceeded our expectations! The customer service and professionalism by the owners and staff is outstanding! We were greeted by the owner, Mrs. Chanika who came over and introduced herself. She shared stories with us about the establishment and also checked on us throughout our dinner. I was highly impressed. After dinner, we sat outside on the benches in front of the restaurant and discussed what a delightful evening it was. They offer such a comfortable and welcoming environment and we did not want to leave! The Galley made Father's Day an enjoyable and memorable experience for my husband and his brothers! We are already planning our next visit.

Started out decent but has declined over the years and a lot of the ones in this area have closed. Had a Boss over in Concord who loved Hooters and we went there for lunch a number of times. Usually ordered Wings or Buffalo Chicken Sandwich. Both were overcooked and very dry. Have not been to one since the pandemic in 2021. That was until yesterday. Curiosity mainly but since I was in Hickory, decided to give this one a try. Very pleasantly surprised. Place was spotless and the two waitstaff ladies were exceptional. Order the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich (Hot and Spicy) and it was exactly that. Side or Curly Fries which the Corgi in the car helped me to eat, Portion since was huge. This place is definitely a keeper and I will be back. Chain is hurting but if they could emulate this one, might stand a change of a strong comeback.

The waitress was new so we were patient but when we brought to her attention that our order was messed up she tried to fix it but still messed that up(we even refused to eat one of the dishes and ate elsewhere). Also she kept disappearing into the kitchen as we were waiting for the check. We had to track her down and ask for it directly. Getting the check was taking too long as well as she disappeared again and I got up to the register to pay directly since it was taking so long. Terrible food and terrible service.

It's like they don't realize some people can't eat pork and for the buffet price, there should be other types of pizza without it. The staff were nice enough to suggest the beef, cheese and spinach veggie options which always disappeared fast in the blink of an eye, and I gave the 3 stars really for them bringing those remaining slices to my attention, the tasty spinach veggie pizza, cinnamon rolls & the salad bar. If I ever went back, I'd just order a pizza & the delicious cinnamon rolls!
