Hickory Tavern - Columbia

The staff was nice and the beer was cold and delicious but the cooks need to be told not to add so much salt to their food, also my fish and chips were soggy and oily the fish had an after taste and again super salty I couldn’t eat it and my husband left his whole plate alone for fear of a heart attack. Sorry but I won’t return.

Great food, great drinks, great service. We were out to enjoy a relaxing dinner and we got it. Our server, Nina was brilliant and didn't rush us, but was very attentive. I want to finish drinks and appetizers first and then order dinner. I loved building their own salad that was excellent (fresh, different toppings available and was large enough to be a filling for me) and satisfying. My guests had their chicken and rice dishes and pulled pork sandwich, the two compliment was very delicious. We will definitely be back there for a meal or drinks and enjoy the atmosphere. Great sports bar also.

After a long day of travel, in this hidden jewel for a fast bite. Our server, Michelle, was fantastically very friendly and attentive. I had sat the regular wings on the Carolina Gold bbq sauce. The wings were delicious, the sauce was sweet and tangie, but I wish they were just a bit crispy. Still delicious. My MIL had the charred wings and they raves over them. I will definitely try to be in town next time.

Cool place. Very good service. I got the 'Merican burger. It was a little dry. There wasn 't any type of sauce on it. The waitress did bring some ketchup packets however. The Mac n cheese was pretty good. There was a veggie burger ordered also. Was decent.

Went there for the taco crawl downtown place was really lively very crowded. The tacos were upstairs. The service upstairs was really great. The tacos were delicious. Decided to go downstairs and we went in and sat down. Tried to get a drink but that was very difficult. The waitress rolled her eyes and was very rude. They told us we needed to be set by hostess never came to seat us. When we ask the waitress a question she was kind of snappy and said she would get the hostess she sent over a black girl which I thought was kind of weird because she wasn't the hostess but maybe she thought she needed to send her because we were black and she went on to say the exact same thing that the other girl did and we were just like never mind. We don't need a drink now and we left. I had already decided when I was upstairs that I'm going to come back to this place because the food is really good. That's one reason we went downstairs so that we could get a drink from the bar downstairs instead of the discount drinks upstairs and we knew that you had to pay regular price. But I think that little young girl thought we were trying to get some kind of bargain or something. I don't know what her problem was. After the service downstairs I have second thoughts about that. There are a lot of places in Columbia that I can go spend my money. Not asking for any favors.
