"Went there Saturday night, was in Lenoir, visiting family. The parking lot was half empty. And from my experience, that’s a red flag. The food, the service and the overall experience was amazing! I’ve been living in the Charlotte area for the last year, but I have a house in Hickory. That store closed during Covid. Missed the salad bar! I love the pumpernickel croutons! As usual we ordered a shrimp appetizer, and everyone ordered an entree/w a salad bar. I had the grilled Tilapia w shrimp, my daughter ordered a pasta dish, and my grandson Tadpole, ordered chicken fingers and fries. The whole time the waiter was so friendly, accommodating, to the point of playing with my grandson. Letting him grab pens, straws etc. We all had boxes of leftovers, and the salad bar is so good. The waiter was a guy, named Tom I think on 07/06/24, and he was a trooper, we never went without, because he, and other staff checked, politely every fifteen minutes!"
