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.

North Hickory Market is a new and local restaurant in Hickory. The focus seems to be on typical…read moreAmerican food, mostly brunch and sandwiches along with some special dinner items. It is quite spacious inside and there is a section that offers outdoor seating underneath the roof, which is nice. Our server was attentive, although one of the orders was initially forgotten. That got resolved quickly. I got the Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Sandwich on their homemade focaccia. Honestly, for such a simple sandwich, it was delicious! The bacon was not too salty and the eggs and cheese were not too overwhelming on the sandwich. My cousins enjoyed the Italian Stallion and Bagel & Lox (although they ran out of bagels when we arrived for dinner, so my cousins substituted with toast). They also really loved the Side Caesar Salad! I will say that I feel kind of cheated by my server. He initially asked if I wanted a side with my sandwich, basically insinuating that it was included with or part of the sandwich. To confirm that, I asked him if the side would be part of the meal. He nodded in agreement and was like "Sure, if you want it to be," so I got the Potato Wedges as my side. They were seasoned well and came with a dipping sauce that kind of tasted like vinegary honey mustard. But at the end, we were all charged for our sides. I see that the menu does mention sides costing extra, but I do not understand why that was not made clear to us by the server when he asked the question about sides. I was not even thinking about sides for my order until he brought it up. So I think the server could have made it more transparent that the sides were going to be an additional cost ("Do you want to add a side for an additional cost?"), ESPECIALLY since I had asked him upfront before placing my order. Other than that, I would say this is a solid place for some basic but good sandwiches. I would be interested in coming back and trying the other options on the menu. I also like how calm and quiet the surrounding area of the restaurant is. It makes dining in the outside section feel relaxing.

You can't go wrong with Jason's Deli. Not only do they have a great lineup of sandwiches/subs, but…read morethey also have a massive salad bar that can be your meal as well. We visited this Jason's Deli during a recent trip, and for a first time visit, it was up to the same standards as the other Jason's Deli restaurants that we have been to. You order at the counter and pay before sitting down, which ensures that your littles don't change their mind a million times. We got the beefeater with chips plus a one trip salad bar, the kids pizza, and a turkey and cheese sandwich. They used to have turkey and cheese sandwiches on the kids menu, but have removed them, so my littles sandwich was adult-sized and lasted two days. The salad bar is massive, and there's something for everyone on there. We sat in one of the many tables within the restaurant, but there are also booths if that is what you would prefer. The decorations told the history of Jason's Deli and provided for some informational reading as we waited for our food. The beefeater is a massive roast beef sandwich that comes with au jus for dipping - so good! The kids cheese pizza is always just warm enough to eat immediately, but not hot enough that it will burn the roof of your mouth. I didn't realize until after our meal that I actually had a birthday reward for a free dessert, and the staff was kind enough to let me use it after the meal. I chose the strawberry shortcake, and it was pretty tasty. It was big enough to share with my table, although some opted out in lieu of the free ice cream. It was a welcomed stop on our trip, and if we're back in the area, I'm sure we will visit again.

It is located in Downtown Hickory so there are lots of things to do nearby. There is ample seating inside and outside and I found the service to be very friendly. The ambiance was rather quiet when I arrived on a Friday afternoon. I got the BEC and Fried Green Tomatoes. The BEC was filling! The biscuit was in the shape of a square so it was a bit bigger than usual breakfast biscuits. The bacon, egg, and cheese were not too salty together, but I think I would have liked it to taste a bit saltier. I liked the taste of the Fried Green Tomatoes, but they were lackluster in color... a bit pale and not crunchy, but the sauce it came with added more flavor for sure. Overall, I had higher expectations based on reviews but I would probably come back to try their other biscuits, particularly the chicken biscuits. I think I would rate it a 3.5/5 stars if I could.
