Olde Hickory Tap Room

Nice atmosphere, attentive staff. Good food and drinks. Waitress was helpful about menu. Definitely will visit again.

Olde Hickory Tap Room is located in Union Square in Downtown Hickory. I dined here on a Sunday so parking was easy as the area wasn't too busy. When I arrived the host immediately sat me at a booth and didn't try to seat me at the bar which tends to be common places. My waitress was as friendly as could be. I went with the sirloin steak; fries and salad. The sirloin was ok but I usually order another cut of meat that is leaner but that wasn't on the menu here. The salad was larger than expected so I didn't finish the meal but I rarely do. I was given both a to- go box and a tea to go. I almost returned for dinner here later in the week but then wandered around and ended up at their other restaurant at the train station.

A classic Irish pub atmosphere. The staff is welcoming. Cecilia behind the bar was great! All her food suggestions were spot on. The BEST corn beef in rye sandwich ever! A must try. They have a lot of beers on tap, so many to choose from. The crab cake sandwich was delicious. We made it a second meal of it the next day. Definitely going back when we are in town again.

Smokey Poblano BBQ wings were fantastic!! Will come again next time I'm in town. Highly recommend

Our first day in Hickory, our first stop. This place did not disappoint. I would choose to sit at the bar next time to eat due to drink deliveries being a bit slow but it's all good. Nice cozy place with good food and good service! Highly Recommended. I will return again some day. I live 10 hours from this place.

We ordered our meals but ate outside as there was a strict pet policy.Both the food and the beer were good , the park is really beautiful and we enjoyed the sunshine

My husband and me finished our walk in Hickory Park/Riverwalk and had lunch at this nice find. We sat at the bar and had the pleasure of being served by Debbie. Debbie made us feel welcomed and answered a few questions patiently (our1st time there). We started with spinach artichoke dip which was delicious. My husband had fish & chips and I had chicken tenders - all was very tasty. They had many beers on tap and Debbie steered us in our choice. I also had a shot of Mezcal (Del Maguey, VIDA Single Village). Over priced for shot and when I looked at receipt I see I was charged for Deleon Platinum Tequila which ranks a bit higher and quite different from what I had - not sure Debbie & another bar tender knew what to charge so they went on the high side. I should have looked at receipt before I left!

It was our first time here and it was an enjoyable visit on a Friday night. We were seated quickly, the service was spot on, the food and beer were excellent. Would definitely recommend.

Worse service from a lady server with shaved head we sat for 20 minutes after drink order watching as the waitress took at least 4 others orders before returning to out table then as I confronted her on bypassing us so many times she said well are you ready to order now. Me and my wife decided to leave due to her attitude and she says bluntly well see ya.knowing the floor manager Chris which was sitting at a table in front of us i let him know the reason we were leaving because we have supported this business many years, the waitress stands behind him at the bar making faces at me .we had company Christmas dinners here until now .please don't visit this place also want to note we wasn't drinking alcohol just water and tea as I told Chris this ruined our valentines dinner and we will never return

On some real ass shit, my burger was wet lol. I ordered the big cheese with only cheese. i mainly came for the beer cheese and pub chips. As I took my 3rd bite I knew something wasn't right. When I say this mf burger was wet, I don't mean the top or bottom bun, I mean the BURGER. I was barely squeezing this burger and its just flooded my plate with juice. Shit was disgusting annd I have never had a burger that tasted "wet" or whatever that was. I eventually told the waitress when she asked me if I wanted a box to go LOL. the look on her face when I said "wet" was hilarious. She took the food and came back and told me she took it off my tab and AGREED with my statement of the burger being wet. she called it "oily." The waitress was awesome, whatever cook/chef cooked that shit needs to be got damn fires bruh. was the most disgusting shit I've ever had in my Life. Just a piece of advice. Maybe next time ask the customer if they was their burger "wet" or fucking dry. Nasty mfs
