My partner and I had the best experience at the hickory. The food was amazing, along with the atmosphere. What I thought would just be us taking pictures on the beautiful property, turned into a proposal and I couldn’t be happier.

Marty, the birthday boy, had the house salad, followed by filet medallions placed on burgundy mushrooms and broccoli. He loved it. I had prime rib with raw horseradish, baked potato and burgundy mushrooms. All was delicious and served very professionally by McKayla. The manager stopped by and we told him that the meal and service were perfect. Brought home chocolate cake and caramel sauce and ice cream for another time. Pleasantly stuffed!!!♥️♥️♥️
