Hickory House Restaurant

Stopped in one night with my roommate some dinner and drinks!  

For starters, you can tell this place has been doing the same for a long time.  It was an older crowd sitting at the bar, and although we came at 8:30 we were the only people eating in the dining room.  (Crazy young people staying out late!)

We had drinks, an appetizer and entrees.  The ribs were fine, but overall, nothing really exciting going on here.  Perhaps the best part was our server who really knew her stuff and helped talk us through the menu.  

I'd go back for the drinks, but at this price-point, I'd rather go somewhere with some more exciting menu options.

just tried after not going for a long time.  We sat in the bar and waited and waited to be served.  I guess if you haven't been going there for 20 years you don't get waited on.  I wanted to leave but others we were with wanted to stay.  We just ended up getting some bar food.  it was only fair, the cheesburger sliders are pretty decent but the "hickory chips" are just not very good and I love any kind of potato chip. The pork sliders were not great.  Just not very impressive, at least in the bar.  And not getting waited on or even acknowledged didn't help.

This is a follow up to the review I wrote on 3/12/12. I had expressed a concern that the management really was not concerned with customers. I arrived at this conclusion after the incident described. I have found this not to be the case. I was contacted by the owner and found him to be very concerned. He assured me that the way I was treated was not the norm and he was very sorry about the way the situation was handled. After talking with him I was impressed with his concern. I do plan on returning to give it another try. Anyplace can have a bad day and I assume that is what happened. As stated I will try again and I do appreciate being contacted by the owner.
