| - Hello Friends!!
I've gone here a few times to watch a game or two or three. Usually packed.
But yesterday (06/17 - Fathers Day) outside the party group that i was a part of (20-25 people) it was pretty bone dry.
**** Special Event ****** (Fathers Day)
They had a pretty good Fathers Day special (12oz Ribeye, Side Salad, One Side and Cheesecake = 23.99. With a 10.00 gift card to spend on your next visit). However on the regular menu one can get the (12oz Ribeye, 2 sides = 19.99) which suited me fine since i don't eat sweets. But i can't pass up 10.00 gift card.
For the large group the sevice was pretty good. I'll admit even with a small group, you can have the "why did I come here with these guys" moment. And I had one of those moments... a few times. But that's not Hickory Taverns fault. (I just need to find better group - church familes). But my kids wanted me to come, so I had no choice, it is Fathers day afterall. (we only get 1 day so, I better not pass it up) LOL!!
The 4 waitress were great. I notice a few times where they seemed overwhelmed but they grinned and handled their business. KUDOS! The manager came out a few times just to check on everyone, that was cool.
The steak... umm umm good. Medium Rare! no problem. Even the "Side Salad" was great. No no nooo, not the usual rabbit food. But turkey, bacon, pine nuts, cheese, eggs. I overheard someone saying the Veggie Burger was pretty lip smackin good for the veggie lovers out there!
I'm not on this side much (northeast I suppose) but if i'm around i'd drop by for a drink or 2 or 3. (Sam Adams Summer Ale)
It may be worth a shot to come back and try the "Bucket of Boat Trash" (Crab legs, shrimp, Gold Band ® Vibrio free premium oysters & 2 sides). That reminds me of "Bubba Gump" in Charleston.
