"First, we tried to reserve for 1pm, but were told two other large parties were already booked. We opted for a 2pm reservation instead. We originally had a reservation for 30 diners, but dropped it to 20 an hour or so prior because a third of our party chose to go separate to avoid the wait. We arrived 30 minutes early and checked in, but we were told we couldn 't be seated until 2 pm. Then we watched a party of 15 with no reservation get seated after waiting less than 5 minutes. When we were finally seated promptly at 2:01pm. We were seated in the same area as the portion of our party that arrived earlier with no reservation and an extra 10 people (so 20 people seated with minimal wait and no reservation). Finally seated. Waited about 10 more minutes for drink orders, then another 10 for drinks to arrive and to give appetizer orders. The onion fries (blooming onion) was burnt. Finally ordered dinner, and it arrived after a reasonable wait. The food was great, with one exception. The grilled chicken breasts were squashed flat and had the tenderness of a rubber tire. The ribs and shrimp were delicious; well seasoned, perfectly fried, and served with a yummy bbq sauce. All the diners eating the grilled chicken opted to coat it in the bbq sauce and dig in with heavy artillery (steak knife and fork). My jaw still hurts from chewing! If the chicken had been fall off the bone tender like the ribs, i would have still given five stars even though we really felt like we were not seated intentionally. High five to our server, he should have had help, but he did a pretty good job by himself. In short, 1) just show up, dont bother with a reservation, and 2) stay away from the grill chicken breast unless you are working on having a well-defined, chiseled jawline. Parking: Th restaurant parking is not easily found if you aren 't a camper. It could use a big sign that says Restaurant parking this way Kid-friendliness: The kids menu needs a little help, no vegetables or fruit offered. Only fries or mashed potatoes are offered. But we were permitted to sub steamed veggies. Fries still brought out on accident."

"My wife and I visited Hickory Tavern for the first time last night. I was a bit surprised that a sports bar was empty on a Saturday night during college football season. We were seated right away by a host, but waited nearly 15 minutes for awaiter/waitress to attend to us. We noticed that out of the entire restaurant, there were only two waitresses working all 8tables that had guests. Along with two waitresses, there was one bartender, and then about 4 guys (waiters? who werejust...standing there. Not working, not checking on guests. They were just standing near a table, on their phones, andoccasionally looking at us and other guests. As we were about to say screw it and leave, a waitress came over to apologize forthe long wait, say there was some confusion in the kitchen, and got out drink order. Then, one of those guys that had justbeen standing there not working appeared with an order of complimentary BBQ nachos and gave them to us. We ate those whilewatching football. Waitress came back 5 minutes later with our waters, and got our food order. After she wrote it down, shewarned us that the kitchen is slow. We noticed our drinks had been sitting at the bar for about 10 minutes before our waitressnoticed and brought them to us. Our food came out at a reasonable time, and it was okay. Our waitress didn 't check on us whileeating our food. We noticed that she wasn 't at any other table either. We finished our food, continued to watch football, andwaited another solid 10 minutes before our waitress asked if we wanted our check. We said yes, and she responded I 'll get thatas soon as I can. Which we would 've understood if she was busy attending other tables...but she wasn 't. She just went back tothe kitchen and disappeared for another 5 10 minutes. During that time, we noticed a party of 4 had come in and had the sameissue as us waited 15 minutes for a waitress to even get their drink order. As they were about to say screw it that one guy(I '"
