Looking for the best spot in Hickory to unwind, eat well, and vibe out?…read moreYou need to check out The Patio at 843. From the moment you step in, the atmosphere hits different--laid-back but elevated, like your coolest friend's backyard with way better food and way better music. Whether it's live jam nights, speakeasy weekends, or just a chill evening by the fire pit, The Patio always delivers. Their food specials are no joke--$3 tacos, juicy jerk chicken, and homemade sides that remind you of Sunday dinner. The drinks? Creative, affordable, and strong in all the right ways. It's a place where locals gather, musicians jam, and good times just seem to happen naturally. If you're looking for great vibes, even better people, and food that makes you pause mid-bite, The Patio at 843 is your new go-to. Highly recommended. You'll be back.

I had concerns about the menu with part of it seemingly bar food and the other part seemingly fine dining. Risotto? Short ribs? Can a new place pull this off? Well they did and at a very reasonable price and portion!! I actually had their house made Mac and cheese with 2 add ons from a nice list of options. My dining partner had their short ribs and substituted extra veggies for the mashed potatoes. I tasted it and it was perfect. The stuffed jalapeno appetizer was very good. I gawked at platters of other foods going by and it all looked delicious! Now this place has a very nice patio for cooler weather and a huge main dining room. The surprise was the bourbon room, which looked like an old-money private club, and across from that a pool room with 3 pool tables. This is really a nice place and I wish the owners well! Sorry for the long review! Can't wait to come back and try other things and cold frosty beverages!

I got fish and chips and unfortunately, I can say I've gotten better at Applebee's. Our adult children were joining us for dinner and luckily they were late so we ordered when they finally got there we told them to go somewhere else to eat. Our tab was $59.08 and we left a $10 tip on the table. I won't ever go back. when you're Irish and you have a mammy and an aunt Katie, you know how this food is supposed to come out, I was raised on it, thought we were going for some comfort food with my people and boy, was I disappointed. They were out of shepherds pie. That was probably a blessing. The staff was pleasant enough, but not very attentive. Somebody did ask me about my food and she even noticed that my husband's plate didn't look right, but she never made a reappearance. if you order tea it's gonna come in a bottle, if I was told that or if I was presented the bottle unopened, I would've declined it and got a Coke. Was it an off night? No, I think that this was standard operating procedure by the clientele that was in there and I guess when you don't know any better you think it's great, but when you know better, you know it's well below par.
