text: This location of Hickory Tavern gets an extra star purely for the outdoor seating.  This is a great place to enjoy dining on the patio!  The view of our fair city is great!!\n\nAs for food, it's ok.  I have never had anything that blew me away, but I've never been disappointed, either.  I enjoy their \"build your own\" salad menu, and the sandwiches and burgers are good.  \n\nThe bigger draw here is the walls that are plastered with TV's, so, it's a bar scene.  At this location it's a trendy crowd.  The wait-staff was really good.  I very much enjoyed our waitress on my most recent visit.\n\nThis is a good place to meet friends after work.. and don't forget to take in that view!
