Hickory & Oak

In town for our daughter's college volleyball tournament. Hickory&Oak was recommended... we absolutely loved it!! One of my top steakhouses I would say..of all time. Oysters Rockefeller appetizer may have been the best oysters I've ever had! These were Alabama coast oysters and being from Alabama and eating oysters in Kentucky I was skeptical... but absolute deliciousness were these oysters! Perfection. ‍ We followed with a wedge salad. Large enough to split for 2-3 people. The bacon on this was TOP bacon. The lettuce & cucumbers were COLD &. Crisp. The dressing- scrumptious.I had filet mignon. Hubby had ribeye. Both perfectly cooked with a side of steak fries that were out of this world! Our server was top notch! So descriptive & personable. The atmosphere & decor were superb without being stuffy. Casual yet elevated. Absolutely we will eat here every time we come to Bowling Green KY!

If you go toe to toe on customer service (from host to server to bartenders), quality of food for cost point, range of menu, and care, head to Tony's. Hickory and Oak is an okay restaurant but lacks in the total experience by comparison.

The meal was wonderful and our server Craig was a delight! They made us feel celebrated on our anniversary.

We have never had a bad experience here - our favorite spot to eat. Good service good food

In town for work. Came here at the recommendation of a local. Was not disappointed! Dined alone so hard to get all I wanted to try. Got the focaccia bread based on previous pics - delicious!!! Ordered the rainbow trout and was pleased - nice preparation and flavors. Green bean almondine was delicious and buttery. Definitely impressed by the bourbon selection! Very nice barrel pick old fashioned and finished with a pour of Weller Full Proof. Craig was excellent - friendly and attentive with good recommendations, he was training Reece who also was super nice. Sat outside on the patio with excellent weather and a good view. The music was nice and not too loud. Would definitely recommend and am very glad I stopped in. Would definitely come back next time I'm in Bowling Green!!

Pleasantly surprised with my experience here. Being from Nashville where we have a ton of great food, I wasn't expecting much from a steak house in bowling green to be honest. We went for my friend's birthday and I really enjoyed my dinner! The ambiance was nice with the very unique decor inside that makes you feel like you're on an adventure with the hobbits (lots of wood with greenery accents). The service was nice a friendly and they even helped coordinate a proposal at the table next to us while we were there (she said yes, followed by a round of applause). See my take on the food below. Pro tip: make sure you bring a jacket! It's pretty cold in there and they have to keep it that way due to the nature of the building they use. -Wedge salad: huge! There must have been a pound of bacon just on top. It was very good. -bacon cornbread - excellent-8oz filet - cooked perfectly-blackened garlic butter - terrible; comes out cold and the steak doesn't need it; don't waste $5-spicy butter (can't remember which one but it's the spicy one) - that butter was great! Wished it had gotten that one instead of the other-loaded mashed potatoes - excellent, although not much topping; I think I would get the regular if I went again-Brussel sprouts - good but not great compared to everything else-blueberry parfait - excellent-brownie with cherry ice cream - so good and very impressive; would definitely recommend 2 scoops of ice cream though because it's so rich (maybe one on top and one on the side)Overall great experience! I would definitely go back if I am in the area again.

This place was recommended to me, and in fairness it was the best meal I had in Bowling Green. The menu was interesting and made choosing something difficult. I went with the Argentinian steak and wasn't disappointed. Desserts were also delicious. Prices aren't cheap but dishes are huge and well worth it. I ate at the bar area. Service was friendly if not very attentive. They have bourbon galore if you're into that. Reservations are likely a must so plan ahead. Park on the street or in the nearby park. They have an indoor dining area, bar, and covered patio area.

Great steakhouse in downtown Bowling Green. Central location makes it easy to walk anywhere in downtown Bowling Green. Amazing food and cocktail options. Great indoor/outdoor seating. Service is always top notch.

I ordered the dry age steak and was a bit bland. Everything else was amazing. Everyone else had great meals. I will assume I got a bad steak. I will try again sometime.

I was in town from Miami and was looking for a good steakhouse and this Hickory & Oak restaurant was recommended. I had a wedge salad with a boneless ribeye. Steak was seasoned and cooked to perfection. Sides were awesome as well whipped potatoes and Brussels sprouts. Restaurant has a good vibe in downtown area close to the University. Great meal and atmosphere without being gouged in price like Miami. Service was attentive and knowledgeable. Bourbon selection was excellent as well if you are a bourbon connoisseur.
