Hickory Tavern

I just left the restaurant and from start to finish it was an amazing experience. The young gentleman host was very sweet and sat us immediately and within 40 seconds we were greeted y the most amazing server I think I've ever had(Kat). She knew the menu so well and helped me find something with my dietary restrictions. She was attentive and kept our drinks refilled(I drink A LOT of tea)The food was fantastic! I did the salad builder and was able to get what I wanted. The salad was so big that I got a box to take home. I accidentally left the box on the table and Kat came running out after us with my box! That's above and beyond. Great food, great atmosphere, great service! We will definitely be making this a regular lunch spot. Thank you!

I went for lunch today and my waitress (Kat) was so sweet and she really knew the menu. They recently changed it and took off my favorite sandwich so I had to find something new. She was very patient with me and helped me decide on the freedom burger. The sauce is so good! I had the brussels as my side and they are out of this world. If I could give this place 10 stars I would! Not too mention how fast the food came out! Definitely visit this place for lunch if you get a chance.

Hickory Tavern should feel lucky to have such a dedicated and invested bartender at the Providence location. He has been with the company for over 17 years and has quite the following of regulars who appreciate his engagement and service. Everyone wants the company to do well, so in turn he does well. To hear from fellow patrons that the new CEO, referred to a 17 year employee as someone who “must be stealing from the company” (in front of guests and other employees) is just absurd. He brings the hometown feel to this local company, and should be applauded, not chastised, in front of peers and guests. It’s a shame that the CEO who is looking to turn around a company, would make these type of disparaging remarks.

Went with a friend to have girl talk time. Got our food and told them that if we needed anything, we would get them that we were just there to have some lunch and to catch up. The waitress was great and didn't bother us unless we asked, and then they were right on it. The food was really good and the service was great. Great experience overall.

We got the brisket nachos I believe and they were phenomenal. The ambience was great, bathrooms, clean wait staff was extremely good. There was a little bit of a crazy incident in there with a guy who had to have the kitchen staff come up because he was being a little upset about a hockey game. The bartender respectfully handled everything and got reinforcements from the kitchen just in case this very loudmouth crazy guy who had drank a lot from what I heard. She was respectful and direct into the point and made sure the patrons were safe and dealt with the problem swiftly . Great service
