As hungry this area is for restaurants, especially dinner places, Hickory Tavern is quite a disappointment.
This is more of a sports bar than restaurant and it certainly appeals to the 20 - 40 year old single crowd.
We went for lunch and were impressed with how large and open it was. The menu was pretty simple and sparse, without a lot of options. I asked to look at a dinner menu and our server told me that the menu is the same. Huh?
And as we tried to talk it became a competition with the loud pounding music blaring joining the multiple TV screens mounted around the room. One of our club groups thought to have a meeting at this location and even though there is a separate room decided that we would not be able to talk even though the separate room had a French door that would close.
Our dinner experience, undertaken only to see if the experience would be different than our lunch, was worse. More people, louder music, same limited selection of food.
Want a drink? Want to meet young adults? Give Hickory Tavern a shot. You won't find us there.
