It pains me to give this restaurant such a low rating. Almost 5 years ago, Hickory Tavern catered my wedding and it was amazing!!!! I would recommend their catering to anyone for any event!!! Better than most "fancy" caterers that would have easily cost us double the money. But alas, onto this location. The last two times we have been here, the place has been very quiet and the service and food still so slow. I often find that their food is good, but overpriced. It's truly nothing special, and it pains me to pay almost $7 for a small side salad. Yes it comes with a lot of toppings, but they should have an option like most restaurants do to add a simple salad in te $2-$3 range.
I truly want this restaurant to do well simply on nostalgia alone, but with so many more dining choices coming to the area in the next year...I'm afraid people will easily take their business elsewhere.
