. "Hickory Tavern is the type of place you go to grab some beers, eat some tapas style food and watch the game. Most expect it to be this wonderful dine in restaurant which is why I suspect they place the more 'meal' type items on the menu. But people, it's called a tavern, you don't go here for your cordon bleu, you go for the bbq wings and pints.\n\nWith that disclaimer, I enjoyed everything about Hickory Tavern. \n\nI had the bbq wings and my fianc\u00E9 has the baked potatoe. Temperature wise they were hot and had plenty of meat on the bone. The baked potatoe was mild in size, but packed many toppings inside. My fianc\u00E9 stated it may have been the best she's had.\n\nWe sat at the bar to be able to watch a baseball game. We had some of their beers on tap and a couple mixed drinks. They were spot on with the amount of alcohol and mix. The bartender talked with us frequently, bet never enough to intrude on our evening. \n\nI gave this 5 stars simply for all those reasons. Great atmosphere, but go for the right reasons. Not for a date, not for a family gathering (unless you're diehard Red Sox fans)."^^ . "1"^^ . "2015-04-19T00:00:00"^^ . "0"^^ . . "5"^^ . . "0"^^ .
