I am so happy that The Ole Hickory Inn is under new management and has a new cook / chef. Several weeks ago my son and I had the chicken piccata and the whole dinner was excellent. One day I stopped in and had the reuben sandwich and was very pleased. Last Friday we had their fish and shrimp dinner specials and we're very pleased again. I really hope that the word gets out that the kitchen is up and running again. The atmosphere was comfortable and the service was excellent.

One of a kind place, outstanding service and staff. They have a great little outdoor seat area as well. The food is amazing, the beer is ice cold. That's the hat trick, great people, delicious food, and cold beer.

Such a cute place. Very rustic and cozy. I didn't eat there tonight ... But the menu looked delicious and everything on it is home made. I had the stuffed pepper soup the last time I was there .. Super yummy. The new deck is awesome! Great spot for a outdoor meal or drinks with friends. The staff was friendly and everyone was having a nice time chatting it up at the bar. Can't wait to go back and try a homemade meal sometime soon.
