Hear from our valued guests
Came in with my family and mother in law. It was our second time in and Morgan I was amazing. Super attentive and answered all our questions. She made sure to mention the dessert even if we didn't get it. Everyone was honestly great and friendly. But Morgan was great!
Came here for Sunday football. Plenty of screens and good atmosphere. The servers were helpful and attentive. The food was great. I got a burger as my main and nachos as the app. Great all around.
Server Andi was great! Friendly and placed our order as we wanted. Food came out quick and was prepared perfectly. She keep drinks filled and made sure our food was prepared to our liking especially since my son and I have some dietary restrictions. She was friendly and attentive. We will be back!
Had a great lunch experience at Hickory Tavern in Holly Springs. The food was good and the service was great. Zoai did a great job of taking care of us! We will definitely dine there again.
Went two nights in a row. Thursday night was late, and I sat at the bar. Bartender was great, and even though they were closing in a hour, she asked if I wanted to put food in. I ordered a fried app (because I like to think I'm not a jerk!), and it was excellent! Pow pow shrimp and broccoli had great balance of freshness and seasoning, with a spicy sauce that elevated it to the next level! Went back the next night and sat at a table, in a group of 6. Server was a young kid who very much wanted to be done his shift. The place was also pretty busy, so we'll just focus on the good trip!!
Stopped in for dinner and spent a few minutes waiting at the hostesses station before Zoai walked in and asked if we had been helped. By then two other customers had joined us waiting to be seated. Things got better when we were seated. We were lucky enough to get Zoia as our waitress who recommended the giant pretzel which was actually pretty good. Our entree’s were served quickly and was delicious. The food was served hot and pleasantly presented. We enjoyed the atmosphere and the service from our friendly delightful waitress. Will definitely be revisiting this location.
First time here and I was impressed with the food. I ordered the onion rings and buffalo chicken wrap. Both were delicious! Took awhile but not terribly long to get my entree. The slight delay was understandable as the place was pretty packed when I visited. I will definitely be coming back here at some point!
We went for dinner and to watch the semi final world cup game. Our server, Paige, was outstanding! She was personable, attentive, intuitive, and maintained great communication throughout our visit. My husband and I worked as servers and bartenders for years and often find ourselves disappointed in the service we receive when dining out. Paige is top notch and will be the reason we return more frequently.
Zoai did amazing and phenomenal. Her service was fast, she consistently checked in and was very friendly! Not to mention the food was absolutely delicious!
Today we had the private room to celebrate my dad’s 90th birthday! Our server, Cameron, was amazing! He was very observant and attentive with all things but especially drink refills, extra napkins, sauces, etc. He was friendly and patient with our large party. He was organized with the ticket orders and meal delivery. Food was delicious! Thanks Cameron for your fabulous service and positive energy during our meal and celebration!
