| - First things first, awful service. I honestly considered jumping in and helping out. There were several tables waiting for their checks, you could see them scanning for their servers. The kitchen must have been behind because timing all over the front of the house, was off. Apps arrived with meals, or way too far ahead. Meals didn't arrive all at one time....it was just out of sync. This was all prior to us being seated.
I was in a group of 4 adults and two kids. We expected a wait and honestly, wasn't too long considering it was a Friday. Our waitress was in the clouds though. She got my order very wrong after I watched her write it down, word for word. Something as simple as chicken tenders, baffled her. I will give her credit for owning up to it when I questioned if I another persons meal.
The kiddos spilled two cups of water and no staff member was in sight to offer towels or new water. Luckily, tables turning was slow and there were paper towels left on a neighboring table.
A variety of items were ordered and nothing really stood out. The pretzel app was actually pretty good but otherwise, less than impressed. Considering the quality and quantity of food, the price seemed a bit off, too. Will definitely choose some of the new local spots before going back to Hickory Tavern. Generally, I give chains the benefit of the doubt since there are regulations and standards involved. I have visited this location on a few occasions and honestly, will only do so if I'm out voted among friends.
