Thought we would try another place for breakfast than our go to breakfast place in Conover which is…read moreDick's Cafe and now wish we hadn't Walked in around 9:30 and it was packed and was told it would be a wait because they were down one server. Once we were seated, service was just ok due to the fact they were busy and short staffed. The food though was not good. My wife said her scrambled eggs were over cooked and her wheat toast was burnt. The grits also had a burnt taste to them. We both left about half our meals and didn't finish them. We both like strong, black coffee and the coffee here was very weak and tasted more like coffee flavored water, so didn't as for any refills on our "coffee". Overall not worth it and a waste of money, so this was two visits in one, first and last!

I am giving four of five stars because the building seems to be a bit run down, it is located at the end of a strip mall.

It is a bustling restaurant with a good menu full of option from sweet treats like stuffed French toast, to savory make your own scramble bowls with lots of choices for toppings.

It was very kind of her!

We look for highly rated restaurants, close to the interstate and which have outdoor seating because we have dogs. Bringing water for our dogs and cups to take our sweet tea with us, our server, Kiersten, was the epitome of friendly southern hospitality. The barbecue was delicious. You could see the smoker on the property. What set this apart was the choice of sides. There were several sides such as green bean casserole and creamed corn that you don't see at other barbecue joints. We will definitely be back on our next trip to NC.

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.

So we ordered a lot of food for rehearsal dinner the day before. All the meat and sides were quickly packed up when we arrived. Smelling food on the way to dinner was difficult. The Pulled Pork was amazing. Beans were great. Collard Greens were amazing - I managed to get one serving before they were gone! Mac & Cheese and Hushpuppies were great. Coleslaw was creamy and delicious. Plenty of sauces were provided. Not much was left after dinner. The only disappointment was the hot sauce. The owner said they made their own Ghost Pepper sauce. Well, several of our family love really spicy food, like Thai. Their sauce had very little heat, almost none. Kick it up a bit then caution people and make it hot!
