The food at HR is always solid. The meats are always to die for, and the sides tend to be ok. I'll say that on some of them, a little salt wouldn't hurt anything.
However, I've never been to Hickory River where I wasn't overcharged.
One time I ordered French Fries and was charged for waffle, or seasoned, or whatever else they have. One time I was charged for an extra side. One time I asked for water and was charged for soda.
I've let it go once or twice but darn, do I REALLY have to point it out every time?
Anyway, the food's good, but I'd rather head to the Black Dog for a stronger smoke taste and better beer selection.
