I'm not a huge fan of Hickory Tavern to begin with.. Plans changed and we were asked to meet friends here. They had a good price that day representin' Sugar Creek Brewing for Four Bucks.
We took a while to decide if we were going to eat there or somewhere else, but the waitress still seemed to frequently disappear.
Once we ordered it took a bit of time for the food to come out. Luckily my friend noticed my nachos had been made but just sat under the heat lamp at the nacho bar next to the liquid bar. While I was in the restroom and the food was delivered, she tried a nacho and immediately sent them back since they had already lost their freshness! The manager apologized and the second nacho batch was fresh and crisp. Everyone else was pleased with their food choices.
The bathroom was clean and in good working order, but the dining room seemed very dirty.
The seating in bar area just seemed crammed together and didn't give you much elbow room.
