Best ribs in Nashville...Memphis and Houston....carrot cake is addictive...beware..very casual and the prices are very reasoable
(5)Chris S.
The carrot cake was the BEST dessert I've ever had!!! I come in on a regular basis and just order the cake to go!
(5)Hope M.
We've never been disappointed when we come here. The servers are attentive even at their busiest time. The food is delicious, fresh and hot. As always tonight was no exception I highly recommend them.
(5)Chris G.
Great local restaurant. We have been here many times and they consistently offer great service. The burgers taste like they grind the meat themselves. The rotisserie chicken is excellent as is the gyro. The carrot cake was shipped directly from Heaven! Try the red beans and rice!
(4)Jamie N.
Great place! Wanted to go to somewhere unique to the area and was definitely glad to have picked hickory falls! We were seated right away and the waitress was extremely friendly. Ordered the salmon and mashed sweet potatoes, the salmon was alright, the sweet potatoes were VERY sweet. A friend ordered the ribs and loved them! The rolls were fresh out of the oven and warm. Salads were regular steakhouse type salads. Got the carrot cake and chocolate cake to go. Both are wonderful! Definitely a gem in this town that is different than the rest of the chains. Very clean as well!
(4)Tom S.
As luck would have it, my client brought us here for dinner. This time the food was better. I had a filet that was properly cooked. Sides and salad were passing fair. Service was very spotty. Our waitress clearly knew nothing about wine, spirits , or people that order them. She also took forever to take our food order, then everything came out at once. All in all, mostly harmless.
(3)Michelle D.
This was our first visit, and we are new to the area so we were excited to find a wonderful restaurant, with exceptional service and food. Our waitress Dana was exceptional, knowledgeable about the menu, kept our glasses full and brought us a complimentary piece of carrot cake that was to die for. I can say this will be our go to restaurants for evenings out and when company comes to visit!
(5)Lori F.
Nice place to grab a drink. The bar area can get a bit loud but rarely overbearing. Parking can be difficult so I try to good during non peak times.
(4)Charles S.
Great alternative to all the franchises in the area. The service was great. The food was good. Blackened chicken was a little over cooked. Definitely recommend the carrot cake!
(3)Jennifer M.
As my first visit, I can say I was highly impressed. The service was very good and prompt. Everyone in out party enjoyed their food as well. My only complaint is for a little more taste to the Mushroom Swiss Burger but it was cooked to order. I have no complaints about this place.
(4)Brynda Q.
The meals I've had at Hickory Falls have been good overall. The rotisserie chicken is my hands-down favorite; other entrees I've had have ranged from okay (anything bbq) to good (fish tacos). Their sides are fine, but limited. What I don't like are the prices. Almost all of the sandwiches are near 10.00, and while they're fine, they aren't worth $19. Even worse is that tea is 2.29, but I was told by the manager that the owners won't allow Splenda because it's "too expensive." McDonald's has Splenda, for goodness sake.
(3)J I.
Food came out within minutes of arrival. Food could have been better if they did not over saturated the ribs so much BBQ sauce. Would have liked to taste the meat more rather than just the BBQ sauce.
(3)Steve S.
My "medium" cooked parmesan steak was rare and quite chewy...one of the worst I've had at a restaurant. Her pork chops were slightly over cooked and very dry. Rest of food was only so-so. We and 4yo great niece were offered the Oreo ice cream thingy only to have waitress return to tell us they had run out earlier...try explaining that to a 4yo. Was offered the "5 different kinds of chocolate" cake, asked if we could get ice cream on it and told no, but they did get a scoop for the 4yo--a rather pricey scoop! Save your money on the cake and go to Longhorn's for their "Chocolate Stampede." Did ask to see Mgr but that request was ignored.
(2)DeeDee C.
First time here and excellent! Great service and excellent food. I got the Monterrey Chicken and my husband got the ribeye. So good! Will be back!
(5)Chant S.
I love this place! Went there several times & kept going back. I have tried almost all of their items on the menu and none of them ever disappointed me. Everything on their menu is just mouth-watering delicious! The entrees are reasonably priced & they come in good-sized portions. My favorites are the Parmesan Crusted Chicken & the Rotisserie Chicken. The mashed sweet potatoes is absolutely divine & I always get that as a side item to go with my main entree. I highly recommend this place to anyone who is in for some serious good food!
(5)Samantha C.
My husband and I have been to Hickory Falls many times. We come for special occasions and bring friends and family when we they visit from out of town. Everything we have tried has tasted fantastic. Their steaks are so delicious. When I've ventured away from steak I've had dishes which would be worthy or a great review at any restaurant but their steaks are so exceptional I find myself wishing I'd ordered one. The service is consistently acceptional. Every server we have ever had has given beautiful customer service. I would and DO recommend Hickory Falls to anyone looking for a fantastic dinner.
(5)Billy H.
I've had food from hickory falls twice, both times were carry out. The first as a mushroom burger. It was okay, it didn't have much of a flavor to it. Just a burger with some mushrooms that didn't have any seasoning with them. The fries were good but not amazing. The second time I had the Cajun pasta. The Alfredo sauce was so runny it was like eating noodle soup. I'd rather eat at Cheddars down the street.
(2)Susie M.
I ate here 2 times in a couple of days and was underwhelmed on both occasions. The first time the service and food were dreadful. Several people in our party ordered dessert and it took at least 30 min for it to come out. The restaraunt was not even busy. Checks also took a long time. The carrot cake was quite good. The 2nd visit improved the service but not the food. Will not return if given an option.
(3)Kandie V.
Delicious food, great service! My family and I go here often and there has never been a bad experience. The mozzarella cheese wedges are awesome and the steaks are always grilled to perfection! My little one cleans his plate every time (impressive for such a finicky eater).
(5)Robert U.
This place is really good. My lovely wife and I have had lunch here several times, and each has been a good experience. FOOD: - We started with Crispy Onion Straws - excellent, lightly battered, flaky, light, done just right. - Salads are really good, fresh, and crispy. Dressings were very tasty. - The nachos are excellent, but they are a meal in and of themselves. - Burgers are good, pretty large, and not overcooked. - I had a steak here once, and it was good. SERVICE: - No wait for a table at lunch. - Service at hostess stand and wait staff is very professional. This place is a cut above the other casual restaurants in this immediate area (e.g., Red Robbin, Chaddar's, etc.). And my lovely wife digs it!
(4)Nicole O.
Dusty the bartender is very nice and patient and knowledgable
(4)Gary S.
This area of Smyrna is full of chain restaurants. From Chili's to Logan's to Red Robin, they are all accounted for. So it was nice to find Hickory Falls for something different. Service, atmosphere, and food were all very good! I ordered the cedar plank salmon, with a baked potato, and steamed broccoli. Everything was pretty good, but the salmon was a bit bland. It wasn't horrible, it just needed a little more flavor. They have a lot of variety on the menu, and I will definitely be back to try something else.
(4)TC J.
Went for dinner with the hubs & kids. It's a good place for kids, loud & you don't have to worry about them being too loud. The kids meals are $3.99. The kids burger & fries fill up my oldest & lots of kids meals don't, even more expensive ones. I ordered the Chicken Fiesta Salad- grilled (blackened) chicken & black beans on a salad topped w/ crispy tortilla strips. The crispy strips should have been like a garnish, sprinkled on. They were piled on so thick, I couldn't see the salad underneath. I removed handfuls of them until I found my salad. After that, the salad was good. The blackened chicken strips were a little too charred on the ends for me, but it didn't ruin the entire thing. My husband had the Blue Cheese encrusted Rib-eye & he loved it. It was cooked perfectly. Overall my family had a good meal, our waiter kept us in refills & was highly attentive. The entire staff we came across was friendly & welcoming. This is a good place for both a couples date & a family meal.
(4)Cory S.
2nd or 3rd time I've been here. I had the Chipotle Chicken Grille.... It was so, so, it didn't blow me away. It could have used more flavor, it was just grilled.. I didn't taste any seasoning or hint of anything special.. Throw some blackening seasoning on it, something, please! The wife and in-law had the pork loins... My wife's was thick cut and rather large, where-as the in-laws was cut thin a chunk smaller; said they were ok.. I've heard their homemade salad dressings are pretty good, but I haven't tried them yet. The atmosphere on the inside is good, just depends what you're looking for.. It can be loud as they music is a bit overpowering at times, but not so loud that you cannot talk. The entire restaurant can be loud at times as the sound carries.. This is a good place to go sit with friends/co-workers and have some adult beverages.
(3)Jourden V.
We recently moved south of town, and Hickory Falls has quickly become our favorite local place. The service is good. The food is consistent and hot. The atmosphere is warm and relaxed. Drink specials are worth checking out. Blue Moon on draft? Yes, please! The fish sandwich, Apple Cheddar Grille, and burgers are all great options. A nice change of pace from all the chains and fast food that line Sam Ridley in Smyrna. A solid 3 1/2 stars. Oh, and the carrot cake! I rarely get dessert when I'm out to eat, but it is an absolute MUST at Hickory Falls! Out of this world!
(3)Melanie F.
Hickory falls is a beautiful, unique restaurant. There is a huge bar with a lot of seating, and a large dining room. An open kitchen concept is cool and noise from it does not spill into the dining area. The dishes I've had here were all great. Chicken with herb butter sauce and artichokes is fantastic. Decent wine selection and a few beers on tap. Would like to see more beer varieties, especially local brews. The do have a couple Yazoo flavored, which is cool. The overall theme of the place is unclear. A few random pictures in the bar area seem unrelated to each other, giving more of a thrown together look than a cohesive theme. But it's not terrible. Service has always been fine. Prices are really good for the amount and quality. Not ever tried any of their hand cut steaks.
(5)Chris B.
Staff was extremely friendly. Food was perfect. Very nice inside. We loved it here. We're from out of town and always look for a local place and this was it. Burger and chicken was delicious. If we head back this way again we will definitely come back
(5)Randy S.
This was a great place! We had the rattlesnake pasta, the BBQ platter and the carrot cake for dessert. The food was fabulous. The atmosphere and service were also great. We sat at the bar and our bartender, Dana was the bomb.dot com. Highly recommended.
(5)Sincere R.
All things considered, this was a pretty good find. The food was moderately priced and the turn around time from placing the order until it arrived at the table was impressive. I had the pork loin. It wasn't the finest cut by any shape or fashion but again, considering where the type of place it was it was pretty good. Great for families or business lunches.
(4)Gus F.
I enjoyed my meal but it wasn't what I was expecting. The service was amazing however, the food didn't live up to the hype that my colleagues sold me on. The cowboy ribeye was ok at best but the Caesar salad was very good. I'm not sure that I'll return to this place next time I'm in town
(3)Teresa J.
This place is amazing!!! Great menu! I chose the Rattlesnake Chicken. My husband had the Beef Medallions. The food was served very quickly. It was delicious!! The Rattlesnake Chicken is nice and spicy!! The Medallions came on garlic mashed potatoes that were yummy!! Prices are reasonable and the service is excellent.
(5)Ute M.
Love Hickory Falls. Reasonably priced and the food is really good. My husband and I love coming to the bar. The seating is good and the beer selection good. Highly recommend the place
(4)Todd B.
When I am back home in Smyrna, this is the one restaurant where I meet friends or take my family. The quality and quantity of the food here always is exceptional, and the wine and beer options also are impressive. I always love anything on the menu, but I particularly was impressed recently with the luscious grilled pork chops. The service is friendly and attentive, and you can't beat the hot rolls. If you're in Smyrna, go.
(4)Holly G.
Times like this I wish Yelp had 1/2 stars because I feel like this place is a 3 1/2. But 3 says "A-OK" and that's pretty much how I feel about it, so that's what I'm going with. My boyfriend and I came here on Sunday morning for brunch. They open at 10:30 and we got here shortly after so it was pretty dead. But our waitress was super friendly, checked back often, and did everything she was supposed to do. My boyfriend opted for the mimosas (which they have, but aren't on the menu) and the taste was eh. They have a pretty limited menu for brunch, with about 10-12 options with some a la carte stuff too. My boyfriend got the ham and cheese omelette, and it was basically just ham and cheese, although he did say that the grits he got with it were pretty good. I opted for the Hickory Falls omelette which had Italian sausage, onion, red pepper, and herb cream cheese. It was pretty tasty although I had to take some of the cream cheese off because there was quite a bit and it was a little overkill. The skillet potatoes that came with it were pretty good too. There aren't many places for breakfast/brunch in the Smyrna area (aside from Sonic and Waffle House) so this was a nice change. I'd like to go back at night and see how their dinner menu compares to the brunch (since it seems like a lot of people enjoy that) and to check out the $2 margaritas they have on Thursdays. Definitely a place I would visit again.
(3)James S.
Fish tacos were very good -- well seasoned, grilled fish rather than a fish stick thrown in a tortilla. But there were only two little tacos, which isn't enough for lunch. Clam chowder was unusual in a good way. Service was attentive. The place was quite noisy considering it was a thin crowd. I'd hate to be here when it's busy.
(4)John T.
My steak was cooked perfectly and had great flavor. It was also very tender. The asparagus had good flavor and was cooked just right. Our waiter was attentive and kept our drinks refilled and our needs anticipated. I am very impressed with the turn around this place has made. Usually the food isn't cooked right and has no flavor. The price wasn't bad either. Two adults both having 10 oz ribeye and two sides tip and all was less than 45$. The only thing that is a drawback to this place is that when it gets full it gets very loud.
(4)Bob L.
Let me start by saying for all of the restaurants (mainly chain/fast food) on Sam Ridley parkway Hickory Falls is definitely one of the better choices. The atmosphere is hard to explain but it just seems like a cool place right when you walk in. The entire staff is very nice right from when you walk in to when you are leaving making sure you had a good experience. The one complaint I do have though is sometimes the food may take a little while to come out but it's not so bad that it makes me not want to come again. Food wise I would recommend any of their burgers, salads or pasta. Today I had the "Bunkhouse Burger" and it was delicious. I felt extremely full and satisfied when I finished the meal. This is also a good place to take a group of 4-6 people for business meetings or get togethers. I definitely recommend going to Hickory Falls!
(4)Charlie P.
This is my third visit...today a work lunch. Solid place for casual at the bar or business lunch. Rolls rock! Stir fry is great, as well as the pork loin. Boom!
(5)Susan B.
This place never lets us down! Always well prepared and delicious. Carrot cake is best I've had ever. Kinda ruins it for any other carrot cake.
(5)Al R.
Had lunch there yesterday. My wife and I had forgotten how good this place is !!!!!!!!! Got the crispy onion straws for an appetizer and they were fabulous (but be warned you get enough of those addictive straws for a least 4 or 5 people). They are a bargain at only $ 6.99. My main dish was the rattlesnake chicken pasta and it was excellent......had some good sized pieces of chicken and the sauce it was in was spicy without being too hot. Loved every bite of both the appetizer and the entree !!!!!!!!
(5)Melanie B.
I found this restaurant on yelp and so glad I did. When we walked it, the ambiance reminded me a lot of longhorns steakhouse. Lots of wood, high ceilings, and a casual atmosphere. We ate around 9:00PM, so we were seated right away. We sat in the bar area in order to view basketball on three of T's that were airing games. Our server Hayley was very attentive and knowledgeable of the menu. She gave great suggestions and wonderful service. We ordered the calamari as a starter, and it was delicious. I ordered the Aloha Salad but instead of chicken I ordered salmon. It was utterly divine and the portion was huge. I only ate half of it and then enjoyed the rest of it the next day for lunch. The chocolate cake was our dessert and it was probably the best chocolate cake I have ever had at a restaurant. I will definitely be back!
(5)Tom F.
I'm on the road 4 nights a week. I eat more dinners out then at home. I'm sure I get a little picky, but when you order the house specialty ( rotisserie chix) you expect it to be good. It was one of the driest pieces of chicken I've ever had. The garlic mashed potatoes had no garlic, and the green beans were too sweet. Why do they have any sugar in them is a mystery to me. The service was great, the beer was cold and it's a nice looking place.
(2)Kristi R.
Consistently excellent. Great staff, great food and impeccable service. Love the new menu additions and the best brunch in 100 miles! We make it a point to get in 2-3 times per month for the food and friendly staff. Economical and kid friendly. You are missing out if you don't stop in!
(5)LeeAnn B.
This was the very first place I ate in Tennessee and it absolutely put my expectations high for the remainer of my trip! It is a steak house and oh so yummy! I ordered the New York Strip with mashed potatoes and green beans as my side. So classic right. I usually order my steak Medium and it came out exactly as I wanted. If I remember correctly my dinner cost around $25 or so. It's pricey, but on par with most other steak restaurants. While waiting they also provide dinner rolls with this sweet butter. Not all restaurants give complimentary food while waiting so that is always a plus....especially after a long day of flying! I wish we had one of these restaurants in San Diego! If I go to Nashville for work again, I will definitely be eating here!
(5)Corinne B.
So amazing. Beautiful and comfortable and clean. Seriously amazing food that is affordable. One of my all time favorites
(5)Ryan H.
I enjoyed dinner here with some great friends whom I hadn't seen in probably 10 years. We chose this venue based upon their suggestion and it proved to be more than adequate for the short time we had. We were immediately seated and drink orders were taken. Since it was going to be a short evening, I chose the sweet tea over a cocktail. Best tea I've ever had. Salads were delivered shortly thereafter and were just right. For dinner, I chose a steak and baked potato. The steak was decent, but nothing to brag about. A little tough and a little overcooked for my liking. All in all, it was a 3-star dining experience, made better by a 5-star evening with old friends, but I probably would not rush back.
(3)Chris H.
Walking in the place smells great!! You can smell the sweet smell of the wood burning grills. The wait staff are excellent, even the bus boys were so polite. I had the 12oz NY Strip that cost $18.99 and it came with two sides, which I had the house salad (at no extra cost) and fries. The steak was well cooked (medium) and had good flavor. Until I tasted the Hickory Falls Steak for $9.99 and one side that my wife had, and it tasted sooo much better than my high dollar steak. I will definitely go back, but not for a $20 steak. We also took home a slice of the house made carrot cake and it was so delicious and moist. One piece is big enough for two maybe even three people to share.All in all great place great staff!
(4)David S.
Visitors from Dallas, Tx... My wife and I were going to eat at the "Catfish House" - to our shock, it (including the building) was gone. We decided on "Hickory Falls" and what a choice! The food was great and the carrot cake was the best I've had since my mom's carrot cake. Our server was Cindy and she was great. When we move back to the area, this will be one of our favorites.
(5)Josh K.
This place is good for steaks, etc. Service was also good.
(4)Shequita C.
I was with a party of 8 about two weeks ago. Upon arrival, the restaurant was dead and I didn't know if we had made a good selection for dinner. Even with a light crowd, the servers had a hard time taking care of us. It wasn't as if they weren't friendly, they...just...didn't know how to manage a large crowd. Maybe because others started to trail in...naw. That couldn't have been it. The food was okay. I was tempted to order a steak but decided to try my friend's steak. Where was the flavor. He had to doctor it up with hot sauce. Ordered the smothered chicken dish instead. Decent. Didn't exceed my expectation though.
(3)William S.
Good steaks at decent prices. Ice cold draughts on tap. Server was a little awkward but besides that the place was solid.
(4)Nickie G.
Since I was up in Smyrna giving a big presentation for work, I decided to invite my aunt and uncle (who live close by), my parents (who do not live close by), and my brother to come have lunch with me. On a recommendation we decided on Hickory Falls. First off, I was glad to read about this place and find out it was locally owned. However, when you see the menu online and their website you may initially think it is a chain because the "slick" (or professional) factor is there. I got there early for our 1pm lunch so I did what any self-respecting person who likes to drink would do - I sidled up to the bar and ordered myself some wine. The bartender and I were the only people in the large bar area so we chatted about various things. This bar area is huge - long bar as well as multiple tables that hold large groups of people. Looks like a great place to get together with some friends. When everyone arrived we were seated in the dining room and our waiter was around with drinks and menus quickly. He also brought out bread while we were waiting for our meal. The softest, most delicious pillows of bread with what tasted like honey butter. I mean really. This bread was dreamy. Every single person at the table was completely silent while enjoying this bread. YUM! The menu is full of good solid American food. Steaks. Rotisserie chicken. Pork chops. Fried chicken. Even some fish and salmon dishes. Sandwiches. Salads. If you can't find something to eat here then you should just stay home and eat, seriously. I ended up with the pork chops - they apparently are cooked on the rotisserie and then wood-fired. Best of both worlds right? You get two sides with your meal so I got the garlic mashed potatoes and the sliced fresh tomatoes. Other side options were mashed sweet potatoes, mac and cheese, steamed broccoli, glazed carrots, etc. The pork chops were tender and had a good wood-fired flavor. Garlic mashed potatoes could have more garlic in them, but were still good. The tomatoes were fresh and once I salted and peppered them up they were great. Overall a very solid meal. Not a meal that's going to go down in your best EVER but definitely MORE than expected and with great options for everyone. Plus...my bill was $12 for lunch. With the coke. Not toooooo shabby! I will most definitely come back here again when up in Smyrna for work (if only to try that rotisserie chicken). It is locally owned and it is really pretty good. Give it a shot!
(4)Justin B.
On first notice, this place reminds me of a J. Alexander's. It's locally owned & operated which I certainly appreciate. I've been here twice and have enjoyed my experience both times. We were sat immediately and drink orders were taken. By the way, they have AMAZING drink specials during the week, so check that out. They also have a seasonal menu which included the Hickory Falls Steak, a 9 oz Rib Eye for only $11.99 with a side. The steak was ordered medium and cooked to perfection. The baked potato side is HUGE, so definitely get it loaded. For my first trip, we had the spinach and artichoke dip and it was some of the best I've ever had! On my second visit I ordered the fried calimari...it was slightly over-cooked, so I wouldn't recommend it. Oh, and the bread they serve with dinner is AH-mazing.
(4)Lady Katy P.
Wow! Is about all that needs said. Not one thing was anywhere near complaining about. Drinks were great, food was great, atmosphere was comfortable. Prices very reasonable for a higher than usual experience!
(5)Alex V.
Aweome place. I had the french dip. I will have to say, the best one I have ever had. The bread was great and the meat was tender and flavorful. I also tried their soup and it was good too. Would go back...
(4)Morgan J.
Had a good time and a good meal with my fiancé. I have to say that Longhorn Steakhouse steaks taste better.
(3)Dustin D.
Upside: You go here for 2 items, rotisserie chicken, mashed sweet potatoes and fried cheese wedges. Chicken is always good. So good they run out of it from time to time. Cheese wedges are unique, large pieces with an amazing marinara sauce. Otherwise the ambiance is good. Very unique bar area with bartenders who actually have personalities. Downside: Side salads taste like they have been in the fridge over night. Lettuce isnt crisp and toppings are stale. Other menu items are okay but nothing special.
(4)Raymond K.
Wow there is a chef out there that knows how to cook a steak. Normally when going out to an establishment that serves steak I usually have to order it a grade under the desired level that I prefer my steaks to be cooked at.
(5)Scott W.
Discovered this place on Sunday, after the Cinco De Mayo festivities in Smyrna. Had a great dinner. Service was fast and efficient, prices were really good for what we got, and food was really tasty. We'll be back again next time we're in Smyrna
(4)Kristine M.
I was up in central Tennessee for a meeting, and my client chose this place for lunch. I had the rotisserie chicken and chose seasoned rice as a side. I should have chosen a vegetable, as the rice was a bit crunchy. The chicken was moist and yummy. If I overshoot the Barrett Parkway by about four hours, I'd eat here again.
(3)Lance A.
I love there brunch on Sundays. The Hickory Falls omlette is awesome. A season cream cheese filling is the bomb!
(5)Dawn S.
Been many times. That tells you something! Love the atmosphere. The waiters are friendly and fast. The food is great. Can't beat the homemade carrot cake!
(4)Brad M.
First time yesterday. Really loved it. Supposedly the same owners at the Franklin Chop House but this place is way better. Don't let the outside fool ya. The inside has a great log cabin with stone decor but better yet is the extremely reasonable prices. The Maui Chicken was one of the best cooked chicken meals I have ever had. Can't wait to go back.
(4)Will M.
hickory smoked pork chops and steaks are good, everything else I've had was blase. Decor is decent, open space, tall ceilings and stone.
(3)Greg S.
Great food everything runs around 10-15$ Friendly fast serice. Great atmosphere
(4)Melissa L.
And for dinner, Jeff wanted to use a coupon out of either the Citipass or Entertainment book and before we could decide he just started driving and we wound up in Smyrna where he was willing to not coupon it if we could get into Cheddars but even though we got there fairly early, it was crammed full. So we saw Hickory Falls Wood Fired Grille. I had been there a couple of times for lunch and it was okay and we had a coupon for it so we decided to give it a try. Jeff ordered half a slab of ribs with the mashed sweet potatoes. I had a $7.99 steak special with a baked potato. Jeff's ribs were good but nothing extremely special. However, those mashed sweet potatoes with the 'goo' as I think the waiter called it (melted brown sugar, cinnamon and butter) were to die for. My steak wash not the typical thin, fatty piece of 'value' steak. It was a small but nice thick portion of flavorful meat that you could really taste tat it had been grilled over hickory. But Jeff saw order after order of the onion straws being delivered and they were huge. The rolls with honey butter were also a winner. All in all this was a good meal and with our buy one get one free coupon, one of the cheapest meals ever at less than $14 before tip. We'll definitely be back and we'll definitely order the onion straws and more of those sweet potatoes no matter what else we try.
(4)Heather R.
I will have to give this place 4 stars for ambiance, but 3 stars for food....the food is good....not great, not bad...just good. I haven't tried anything there that I thought was out of this world...their bbq chicken sandwich is pretty good and is usually a great standby...I've heard their salmon is supposed to be really good. Whenever I'm in the Smyrna area we tend to go here, because I just get too tired of the chain restaurants that are around.
(3)joan d.
Ambiance is nice...overly nice for the quality of food. Food tends to be bland...overpriced for what you get...the chicken is "OK"...steaks need to be upgraded...TOO MUCH FAT on any steak...and the sides are from sorta okay to bad bad bad. Save your money and go to chilli's, logan's or the catfish house...even Sonic has better chicken.
(2)Jamie N.
Great place! Wanted to go to somewhere unique to the area and was definitely glad to have picked hickory falls! We were seated right away and the waitress was extremely friendly. Ordered the salmon and mashed sweet potatoes, the salmon was alright, the sweet potatoes were VERY sweet. A friend ordered the ribs and loved them! The rolls were fresh out of the oven and warm. Salads were regular steakhouse type salads. Got the carrot cake and chocolate cake to go. Both are wonderful! Definitely a gem in this town that is different than the rest of the chains. Very clean as well!

As luck would have it, my client brought us here for dinner. This time the food was better. I had a filet that was properly cooked. Sides and salad were passing fair. Service was very spotty. Our waitress clearly knew nothing about wine, spirits , or people that order them. She also took forever to take our food order, then everything came out at once. All in all, mostly harmless.

This was our first visit, and we are new to the area so we were excited to find a wonderful restaurant, with exceptional service and food. Our waitress Dana was exceptional, knowledgeable about the menu, kept our glasses full and brought us a complimentary piece of carrot cake that was to die for. I can say this will be our go to restaurants for evenings out and when company comes to visit!
(5)Lori F.
Nice place to grab a drink. The bar area can get a bit loud but rarely overbearing. Parking can be difficult so I try to good during non peak times.
(4)Charles S.
Great alternative to all the franchises in the area. The service was great. The food was good. Blackened chicken was a little over cooked. Definitely recommend the carrot cake!
(3)Jennifer M.
As my first visit, I can say I was highly impressed. The service was very good and prompt. Everyone in out party enjoyed their food as well. My only complaint is for a little more taste to the Mushroom Swiss Burger but it was cooked to order. I have no complaints about this place.

The meals I've had at Hickory Falls have been good overall. The rotisserie chicken is my hands-down favorite; other entrees I've had have ranged from okay (anything bbq) to good (fish tacos). Their sides are fine, but limited. What I don't like are the prices. Almost all of the sandwiches are near 10.00, and while they're fine, they aren't worth $19. Even worse is that tea is 2.29, but I was told by the manager that the owners won't allow Splenda because it's "too expensive." McDonald's has Splenda, for goodness sake.
(3)J I.
Food came out within minutes of arrival. Food could have been better if they did not over saturated the ribs so much BBQ sauce. Would have liked to taste the meat more rather than just the BBQ sauce.
(3)Steve S.
My "medium" cooked parmesan steak was rare and quite chewy...one of the worst I've had at a restaurant. Her pork chops were slightly over cooked and very dry. Rest of food was only so-so. We and 4yo great niece were offered the Oreo ice cream thingy only to have waitress return to tell us they had run out earlier...try explaining that to a 4yo. Was offered the "5 different kinds of chocolate" cake, asked if we could get ice cream on it and told no, but they did get a scoop for the 4yo--a rather pricey scoop! Save your money on the cake and go to Longhorn's for their "Chocolate Stampede." Did ask to see Mgr but that request was ignored.
(2)DeeDee C.
First time here and excellent! Great service and excellent food. I got the Monterrey Chicken and my husband got the ribeye. So good! Will be back!
(5)Chant S.
I love this place! Went there several times & kept going back. I have tried almost all of their items on the menu and none of them ever disappointed me. Everything on their menu is just mouth-watering delicious! The entrees are reasonably priced & they come in good-sized portions. My favorites are the Parmesan Crusted Chicken & the Rotisserie Chicken. The mashed sweet potatoes is absolutely divine & I always get that as a side item to go with my main entree. I highly recommend this place to anyone who is in for some serious good food!
(5)Samantha C.
My husband and I have been to Hickory Falls many times. We come for special occasions and bring friends and family when we they visit from out of town. Everything we have tried has tasted fantastic. Their steaks are so delicious. When I've ventured away from steak I've had dishes which would be worthy or a great review at any restaurant but their steaks are so exceptional I find myself wishing I'd ordered one. The service is consistently acceptional. Every server we have ever had has given beautiful customer service. I would and DO recommend Hickory Falls to anyone looking for a fantastic dinner.
(5)Billy H.
I've had food from hickory falls twice, both times were carry out. The first as a mushroom burger. It was okay, it didn't have much of a flavor to it. Just a burger with some mushrooms that didn't have any seasoning with them. The fries were good but not amazing. The second time I had the Cajun pasta. The Alfredo sauce was so runny it was like eating noodle soup. I'd rather eat at Cheddars down the street.
(2)Susie M.
I ate here 2 times in a couple of days and was underwhelmed on both occasions. The first time the service and food were dreadful. Several people in our party ordered dessert and it took at least 30 min for it to come out. The restaraunt was not even busy. Checks also took a long time. The carrot cake was quite good. The 2nd visit improved the service but not the food. Will not return if given an option.
(3)Gary S.
This area of Smyrna is full of chain restaurants. From Chili's to Logan's to Red Robin, they are all accounted for. So it was nice to find Hickory Falls for something different. Service, atmosphere, and food were all very good! I ordered the cedar plank salmon, with a baked potato, and steamed broccoli. Everything was pretty good, but the salmon was a bit bland. It wasn't horrible, it just needed a little more flavor. They have a lot of variety on the menu, and I will definitely be back to try something else.
(4)Melanie F.
Hickory falls is a beautiful, unique restaurant. There is a huge bar with a lot of seating, and a large dining room. An open kitchen concept is cool and noise from it does not spill into the dining area. The dishes I've had here were all great. Chicken with herb butter sauce and artichokes is fantastic. Decent wine selection and a few beers on tap. Would like to see more beer varieties, especially local brews. The do have a couple Yazoo flavored, which is cool. The overall theme of the place is unclear. A few random pictures in the bar area seem unrelated to each other, giving more of a thrown together look than a cohesive theme. But it's not terrible. Service has always been fine. Prices are really good for the amount and quality. Not ever tried any of their hand cut steaks.
(5)Corinne B.
So amazing. Beautiful and comfortable and clean. Seriously amazing food that is affordable. One of my all time favorites
(5)Dustin D.
Upside: You go here for 2 items, rotisserie chicken, mashed sweet potatoes and fried cheese wedges. Chicken is always good. So good they run out of it from time to time. Cheese wedges are unique, large pieces with an amazing marinara sauce. Otherwise the ambiance is good. Very unique bar area with bartenders who actually have personalities. Downside: Side salads taste like they have been in the fridge over night. Lettuce isnt crisp and toppings are stale. Other menu items are okay but nothing special.
(4)Raymond K.
Wow there is a chef out there that knows how to cook a steak. Normally when going out to an establishment that serves steak I usually have to order it a grade under the desired level that I prefer my steaks to be cooked at.
(5)TC J.
Went for dinner with the hubs & kids. It's a good place for kids, loud & you don't have to worry about them being too loud. The kids meals are $3.99. The kids burger & fries fill up my oldest & lots of kids meals don't, even more expensive ones. I ordered the Chicken Fiesta Salad- grilled (blackened) chicken & black beans on a salad topped w/ crispy tortilla strips. The crispy strips should have been like a garnish, sprinkled on. They were piled on so thick, I couldn't see the salad underneath. I removed handfuls of them until I found my salad. After that, the salad was good. The blackened chicken strips were a little too charred on the ends for me, but it didn't ruin the entire thing. My husband had the Blue Cheese encrusted Rib-eye & he loved it. It was cooked perfectly. Overall my family had a good meal, our waiter kept us in refills & was highly attentive. The entire staff we came across was friendly & welcoming. This is a good place for both a couples date & a family meal.
(4)Cory S.
2nd or 3rd time I've been here. I had the Chipotle Chicken Grille.... It was so, so, it didn't blow me away. It could have used more flavor, it was just grilled.. I didn't taste any seasoning or hint of anything special.. Throw some blackening seasoning on it, something, please! The wife and in-law had the pork loins... My wife's was thick cut and rather large, where-as the in-laws was cut thin a chunk smaller; said they were ok.. I've heard their homemade salad dressings are pretty good, but I haven't tried them yet. The atmosphere on the inside is good, just depends what you're looking for.. It can be loud as they music is a bit overpowering at times, but not so loud that you cannot talk. The entire restaurant can be loud at times as the sound carries.. This is a good place to go sit with friends/co-workers and have some adult beverages.
(3)Jourden V.
We recently moved south of town, and Hickory Falls has quickly become our favorite local place. The service is good. The food is consistent and hot. The atmosphere is warm and relaxed. Drink specials are worth checking out. Blue Moon on draft? Yes, please! The fish sandwich, Apple Cheddar Grille, and burgers are all great options. A nice change of pace from all the chains and fast food that line Sam Ridley in Smyrna. A solid 3 1/2 stars. Oh, and the carrot cake! I rarely get dessert when I'm out to eat, but it is an absolute MUST at Hickory Falls! Out of this world!
(3)Josh K.
This place is good for steaks, etc. Service was also good.
(4)Shequita C.
I was with a party of 8 about two weeks ago. Upon arrival, the restaurant was dead and I didn't know if we had made a good selection for dinner. Even with a light crowd, the servers had a hard time taking care of us. It wasn't as if they weren't friendly, they...just...didn't know how to manage a large crowd. Maybe because others started to trail in...naw. That couldn't have been it. The food was okay. I was tempted to order a steak but decided to try my friend's steak. Where was the flavor. He had to doctor it up with hot sauce. Ordered the smothered chicken dish instead. Decent. Didn't exceed my expectation though.
(3)William S.
Good steaks at decent prices. Ice cold draughts on tap. Server was a little awkward but besides that the place was solid.
(4)Alex V.
Aweome place. I had the french dip. I will have to say, the best one I have ever had. The bread was great and the meat was tender and flavorful. I also tried their soup and it was good too. Would go back...
(4)Morgan J.
Had a good time and a good meal with my fiancé. I have to say that Longhorn Steakhouse steaks taste better.
(3)Ryan H.
I enjoyed dinner here with some great friends whom I hadn't seen in probably 10 years. We chose this venue based upon their suggestion and it proved to be more than adequate for the short time we had. We were immediately seated and drink orders were taken. Since it was going to be a short evening, I chose the sweet tea over a cocktail. Best tea I've ever had. Salads were delivered shortly thereafter and were just right. For dinner, I chose a steak and baked potato. The steak was decent, but nothing to brag about. A little tough and a little overcooked for my liking. All in all, it was a 3-star dining experience, made better by a 5-star evening with old friends, but I probably would not rush back.
(3)Chris H.
Walking in the place smells great!! You can smell the sweet smell of the wood burning grills. The wait staff are excellent, even the bus boys were so polite. I had the 12oz NY Strip that cost $18.99 and it came with two sides, which I had the house salad (at no extra cost) and fries. The steak was well cooked (medium) and had good flavor. Until I tasted the Hickory Falls Steak for $9.99 and one side that my wife had, and it tasted sooo much better than my high dollar steak. I will definitely go back, but not for a $20 steak. We also took home a slice of the house made carrot cake and it was so delicious and moist. One piece is big enough for two maybe even three people to share.All in all great place great staff!
(4)David S.
Visitors from Dallas, Tx... My wife and I were going to eat at the "Catfish House" - to our shock, it (including the building) was gone. We decided on "Hickory Falls" and what a choice! The food was great and the carrot cake was the best I've had since my mom's carrot cake. Our server was Cindy and she was great. When we move back to the area, this will be one of our favorites.
(5)Nickie G.
Since I was up in Smyrna giving a big presentation for work, I decided to invite my aunt and uncle (who live close by), my parents (who do not live close by), and my brother to come have lunch with me. On a recommendation we decided on Hickory Falls. First off, I was glad to read about this place and find out it was locally owned. However, when you see the menu online and their website you may initially think it is a chain because the "slick" (or professional) factor is there. I got there early for our 1pm lunch so I did what any self-respecting person who likes to drink would do - I sidled up to the bar and ordered myself some wine. The bartender and I were the only people in the large bar area so we chatted about various things. This bar area is huge - long bar as well as multiple tables that hold large groups of people. Looks like a great place to get together with some friends. When everyone arrived we were seated in the dining room and our waiter was around with drinks and menus quickly. He also brought out bread while we were waiting for our meal. The softest, most delicious pillows of bread with what tasted like honey butter. I mean really. This bread was dreamy. Every single person at the table was completely silent while enjoying this bread. YUM! The menu is full of good solid American food. Steaks. Rotisserie chicken. Pork chops. Fried chicken. Even some fish and salmon dishes. Sandwiches. Salads. If you can't find something to eat here then you should just stay home and eat, seriously. I ended up with the pork chops - they apparently are cooked on the rotisserie and then wood-fired. Best of both worlds right? You get two sides with your meal so I got the garlic mashed potatoes and the sliced fresh tomatoes. Other side options were mashed sweet potatoes, mac and cheese, steamed broccoli, glazed carrots, etc. The pork chops were tender and had a good wood-fired flavor. Garlic mashed potatoes could have more garlic in them, but were still good. The tomatoes were fresh and once I salted and peppered them up they were great. Overall a very solid meal. Not a meal that's going to go down in your best EVER but definitely MORE than expected and with great options for everyone. Plus...my bill was $12 for lunch. With the coke. Not toooooo shabby! I will most definitely come back here again when up in Smyrna for work (if only to try that rotisserie chicken). It is locally owned and it is really pretty good. Give it a shot!
(4)Justin B.
On first notice, this place reminds me of a J. Alexander's. It's locally owned & operated which I certainly appreciate. I've been here twice and have enjoyed my experience both times. We were sat immediately and drink orders were taken. By the way, they have AMAZING drink specials during the week, so check that out. They also have a seasonal menu which included the Hickory Falls Steak, a 9 oz Rib Eye for only $11.99 with a side. The steak was ordered medium and cooked to perfection. The baked potato side is HUGE, so definitely get it loaded. For my first trip, we had the spinach and artichoke dip and it was some of the best I've ever had! On my second visit I ordered the fried calimari...it was slightly over-cooked, so I wouldn't recommend it. Oh, and the bread they serve with dinner is AH-mazing.
(4)Lady Katy P.
Wow! Is about all that needs said. Not one thing was anywhere near complaining about. Drinks were great, food was great, atmosphere was comfortable. Prices very reasonable for a higher than usual experience!
(5)Kristine M.
I was up in central Tennessee for a meeting, and my client chose this place for lunch. I had the rotisserie chicken and chose seasoned rice as a side. I should have chosen a vegetable, as the rice was a bit crunchy. The chicken was moist and yummy. If I overshoot the Barrett Parkway by about four hours, I'd eat here again.
(3)Lance A.
I love there brunch on Sundays. The Hickory Falls omlette is awesome. A season cream cheese filling is the bomb!
(5)Dawn S.
Been many times. That tells you something! Love the atmosphere. The waiters are friendly and fast. The food is great. Can't beat the homemade carrot cake!
(4)Scott W.
Discovered this place on Sunday, after the Cinco De Mayo festivities in Smyrna. Had a great dinner. Service was fast and efficient, prices were really good for what we got, and food was really tasty. We'll be back again next time we're in Smyrna
(4)Brad M.
First time yesterday. Really loved it. Supposedly the same owners at the Franklin Chop House but this place is way better. Don't let the outside fool ya. The inside has a great log cabin with stone decor but better yet is the extremely reasonable prices. The Maui Chicken was one of the best cooked chicken meals I have ever had. Can't wait to go back.
(4)Will M.
hickory smoked pork chops and steaks are good, everything else I've had was blase. Decor is decent, open space, tall ceilings and stone.
(3)Greg S.
Great food everything runs around 10-15$ Friendly fast serice. Great atmosphere
(4)Melissa L.
And for dinner, Jeff wanted to use a coupon out of either the Citipass or Entertainment book and before we could decide he just started driving and we wound up in Smyrna where he was willing to not coupon it if we could get into Cheddars but even though we got there fairly early, it was crammed full. So we saw Hickory Falls Wood Fired Grille. I had been there a couple of times for lunch and it was okay and we had a coupon for it so we decided to give it a try. Jeff ordered half a slab of ribs with the mashed sweet potatoes. I had a $7.99 steak special with a baked potato. Jeff's ribs were good but nothing extremely special. However, those mashed sweet potatoes with the 'goo' as I think the waiter called it (melted brown sugar, cinnamon and butter) were to die for. My steak wash not the typical thin, fatty piece of 'value' steak. It was a small but nice thick portion of flavorful meat that you could really taste tat it had been grilled over hickory. But Jeff saw order after order of the onion straws being delivered and they were huge. The rolls with honey butter were also a winner. All in all this was a good meal and with our buy one get one free coupon, one of the cheapest meals ever at less than $14 before tip. We'll definitely be back and we'll definitely order the onion straws and more of those sweet potatoes no matter what else we try.
(4)Heather R.
I will have to give this place 4 stars for ambiance, but 3 stars for food....the food is good....not great, not bad...just good. I haven't tried anything there that I thought was out of this world...their bbq chicken sandwich is pretty good and is usually a great standby...I've heard their salmon is supposed to be really good. Whenever I'm in the Smyrna area we tend to go here, because I just get too tired of the chain restaurants that are around.
(3)joan d.
Ambiance is nice...overly nice for the quality of food. Food tends to be bland...overpriced for what you get...the chicken is "OK"...steaks need to be upgraded...TOO MUCH FAT on any steak...and the sides are from sorta okay to bad bad bad. Save your money and go to chilli's, logan's or the catfish house...even Sonic has better chicken.
(2)Sincere R.
All things considered, this was a pretty good find. The food was moderately priced and the turn around time from placing the order until it arrived at the table was impressive. I had the pork loin. It wasn't the finest cut by any shape or fashion but again, considering where the type of place it was it was pretty good. Great for families or business lunches.
(4)Bob L.
Let me start by saying for all of the restaurants (mainly chain/fast food) on Sam Ridley parkway Hickory Falls is definitely one of the better choices. The atmosphere is hard to explain but it just seems like a cool place right when you walk in. The entire staff is very nice right from when you walk in to when you are leaving making sure you had a good experience. The one complaint I do have though is sometimes the food may take a little while to come out but it's not so bad that it makes me not want to come again. Food wise I would recommend any of their burgers, salads or pasta. Today I had the "Bunkhouse Burger" and it was delicious. I felt extremely full and satisfied when I finished the meal. This is also a good place to take a group of 4-6 people for business meetings or get togethers. I definitely recommend going to Hickory Falls!
(4)Charlie P.
This is my third visit...today a work lunch. Solid place for casual at the bar or business lunch. Rolls rock! Stir fry is great, as well as the pork loin. Boom!
(5)Randy S.
This was a great place! We had the rattlesnake pasta, the BBQ platter and the carrot cake for dessert. The food was fabulous. The atmosphere and service were also great. We sat at the bar and our bartender, Dana was the bomb.dot com. Highly recommended.
(5)James S.
Fish tacos were very good -- well seasoned, grilled fish rather than a fish stick thrown in a tortilla. But there were only two little tacos, which isn't enough for lunch. Clam chowder was unusual in a good way. Service was attentive. The place was quite noisy considering it was a thin crowd. I'd hate to be here when it's busy.
(4)John T.
My steak was cooked perfectly and had great flavor. It was also very tender. The asparagus had good flavor and was cooked just right. Our waiter was attentive and kept our drinks refilled and our needs anticipated. I am very impressed with the turn around this place has made. Usually the food isn't cooked right and has no flavor. The price wasn't bad either. Two adults both having 10 oz ribeye and two sides tip and all was less than 45$. The only thing that is a drawback to this place is that when it gets full it gets very loud.
(4)Teresa J.
This place is amazing!!! Great menu! I chose the Rattlesnake Chicken. My husband had the Beef Medallions. The food was served very quickly. It was delicious!! The Rattlesnake Chicken is nice and spicy!! The Medallions came on garlic mashed potatoes that were yummy!! Prices are reasonable and the service is excellent.
(5)Ute M.
Love Hickory Falls. Reasonably priced and the food is really good. My husband and I love coming to the bar. The seating is good and the beer selection good. Highly recommend the place
(4)Todd B.
When I am back home in Smyrna, this is the one restaurant where I meet friends or take my family. The quality and quantity of the food here always is exceptional, and the wine and beer options also are impressive. I always love anything on the menu, but I particularly was impressed recently with the luscious grilled pork chops. The service is friendly and attentive, and you can't beat the hot rolls. If you're in Smyrna, go.
(4)Holly G.
Times like this I wish Yelp had 1/2 stars because I feel like this place is a 3 1/2. But 3 says "A-OK" and that's pretty much how I feel about it, so that's what I'm going with. My boyfriend and I came here on Sunday morning for brunch. They open at 10:30 and we got here shortly after so it was pretty dead. But our waitress was super friendly, checked back often, and did everything she was supposed to do. My boyfriend opted for the mimosas (which they have, but aren't on the menu) and the taste was eh. They have a pretty limited menu for brunch, with about 10-12 options with some a la carte stuff too. My boyfriend got the ham and cheese omelette, and it was basically just ham and cheese, although he did say that the grits he got with it were pretty good. I opted for the Hickory Falls omelette which had Italian sausage, onion, red pepper, and herb cream cheese. It was pretty tasty although I had to take some of the cream cheese off because there was quite a bit and it was a little overkill. The skillet potatoes that came with it were pretty good too. There aren't many places for breakfast/brunch in the Smyrna area (aside from Sonic and Waffle House) so this was a nice change. I'd like to go back at night and see how their dinner menu compares to the brunch (since it seems like a lot of people enjoy that) and to check out the $2 margaritas they have on Thursdays. Definitely a place I would visit again.
(3)Chris G.
Great local restaurant. We have been here many times and they consistently offer great service. The burgers taste like they grind the meat themselves. The rotisserie chicken is excellent as is the gyro. The carrot cake was shipped directly from Heaven! Try the red beans and rice!
(4)LeeAnn B.
This was the very first place I ate in Tennessee and it absolutely put my expectations high for the remainer of my trip! It is a steak house and oh so yummy! I ordered the New York Strip with mashed potatoes and green beans as my side. So classic right. I usually order my steak Medium and it came out exactly as I wanted. If I remember correctly my dinner cost around $25 or so. It's pricey, but on par with most other steak restaurants. While waiting they also provide dinner rolls with this sweet butter. Not all restaurants give complimentary food while waiting so that is always a plus....especially after a long day of flying! I wish we had one of these restaurants in San Diego! If I go to Nashville for work again, I will definitely be eating here!
(5)Kandie V.
Delicious food, great service! My family and I go here often and there has never been a bad experience. The mozzarella cheese wedges are awesome and the steaks are always grilled to perfection! My little one cleans his plate every time (impressive for such a finicky eater).
(5)Robert U.
This place is really good. My lovely wife and I have had lunch here several times, and each has been a good experience. FOOD: - We started with Crispy Onion Straws - excellent, lightly battered, flaky, light, done just right. - Salads are really good, fresh, and crispy. Dressings were very tasty. - The nachos are excellent, but they are a meal in and of themselves. - Burgers are good, pretty large, and not overcooked. - I had a steak here once, and it was good. SERVICE: - No wait for a table at lunch. - Service at hostess stand and wait staff is very professional. This place is a cut above the other casual restaurants in this immediate area (e.g., Red Robbin, Chaddar's, etc.). And my lovely wife digs it!
(4)Nicole O.
Dusty the bartender is very nice and patient and knowledgable

This place never lets us down! Always well prepared and delicious. Carrot cake is best I've had ever. Kinda ruins it for any other carrot cake.
(5)Al R.
Had lunch there yesterday. My wife and I had forgotten how good this place is !!!!!!!!! Got the crispy onion straws for an appetizer and they were fabulous (but be warned you get enough of those addictive straws for a least 4 or 5 people). They are a bargain at only $ 6.99. My main dish was the rattlesnake chicken pasta and it was excellent......had some good sized pieces of chicken and the sauce it was in was spicy without being too hot. Loved every bite of both the appetizer and the entree !!!!!!!!
(5)Melanie B.
I found this restaurant on yelp and so glad I did. When we walked it, the ambiance reminded me a lot of longhorns steakhouse. Lots of wood, high ceilings, and a casual atmosphere. We ate around 9:00PM, so we were seated right away. We sat in the bar area in order to view basketball on three of T's that were airing games. Our server Hayley was very attentive and knowledgeable of the menu. She gave great suggestions and wonderful service. We ordered the calamari as a starter, and it was delicious. I ordered the Aloha Salad but instead of chicken I ordered salmon. It was utterly divine and the portion was huge. I only ate half of it and then enjoyed the rest of it the next day for lunch. The chocolate cake was our dessert and it was probably the best chocolate cake I have ever had at a restaurant. I will definitely be back!
(5)Tom F.
I'm on the road 4 nights a week. I eat more dinners out then at home. I'm sure I get a little picky, but when you order the house specialty ( rotisserie chix) you expect it to be good. It was one of the driest pieces of chicken I've ever had. The garlic mashed potatoes had no garlic, and the green beans were too sweet. Why do they have any sugar in them is a mystery to me. The service was great, the beer was cold and it's a nice looking place.
(2)Kristi R.
Consistently excellent. Great staff, great food and impeccable service. Love the new menu additions and the best brunch in 100 miles! We make it a point to get in 2-3 times per month for the food and friendly staff. Economical and kid friendly. You are missing out if you don't stop in!
(5)Steven P.
Best ribs in Nashville...Memphis and Houston....carrot cake is addictive...beware..very casual and the prices are very reasoable

We've never been disappointed when we come here. The servers are attentive even at their busiest time. The food is delicious, fresh and hot. As always tonight was no exception I highly recommend them.

I enjoyed my meal but it wasn't what I was expecting. The service was amazing however, the food didn't live up to the hype that my colleagues sold me on. The cowboy ribeye was ok at best but the Caesar salad was very good. I'm not sure that I'll return to this place next time I'm in town
(3)Chris B.
Staff was extremely friendly. Food was perfect. Very nice inside. We loved it here. We're from out of town and always look for a local place and this was it. Burger and chicken was delicious. If we head back this way again we will definitely come back

The price wasn't bad either. Two adults both having 10 oz ribeye and two sides tip and all was less than 45$. The only thing that is a drawback to this place is that when it gets full it gets very loud.

Went for dinner with the hubs & kids. It's a good place for kids, loud & you don't have to worry about them being too loud. The kids meals are $3.99. The kids burger & fries fill up my oldest & lots of kids meals don't, even more expensive ones. I ordered the Chicken Fiesta Salad- grilled (blackened) chicken & black beans on a salad topped w/ crispy tortilla strips. The crispy strips should have been like a garnish, sprinkled on. They were piled on so thick, I couldn't see the salad underneath. I removed handfuls of them until I found my salad. After that, the salad was good. The blackened chicken strips were a little too charred on the ends for me, but it didn't ruin the entire thing. My husband had the Blue Cheese encrusted Rib-eye & he loved it. It was cooked perfectly. Overall my family had a good meal, our waiter kept us in refills & was highly attentive. The entire staff we came across was friendly & welcoming. This is a good place for both a couples date & a family meal.

2nd or 3rd time I've been here. I had the Chipotle Chicken Grille.... It was so, so, it didn't blow me away. It could have used more flavor, it was just grilled.. I didn't taste any seasoning or hint of anything special.. Throw some blackening seasoning on it, something, please! The wife and in-law had the pork loins... My wife's was thick cut and rather large, where-as the in-laws was cut thin a chunk smaller; said they were ok.. I've heard their homemade salad dressings are pretty good, but I haven't tried them yet. The atmosphere on the inside is good, just depends what you're looking for.. It can be loud as they music is a bit overpowering at times, but not so loud that you cannot talk. The entire restaurant can be loud at times as the sound carries.. This is a good place to go sit with friends/co-workers and have some adult beverages.
(3)Sincere R.
All things considered, this was a pretty good find. The food was moderately priced and the turn around time from placing the order until it arrived at the table was impressive. I had the pork loin. It wasn't the finest cut by any shape or fashion but again, considering where the type of place it was it was pretty good. Great for families or business lunches.
(4)Gus F.
I enjoyed my meal but it wasn't what I was expecting. The service was amazing however, the food didn't live up to the hype that my colleagues sold me on. The cowboy ribeye was ok at best but the Caesar salad was very good. I'm not sure that I'll return to this place next time I'm in town
(3)Chris B.
Staff was extremely friendly. Food was perfect. Very nice inside. We loved it here. We're from out of town and always look for a local place and this was it. Burger and chicken was delicious. If we head back this way again we will definitely come back
(5)Randy S.
This was a great place! We had the rattlesnake pasta, the BBQ platter and the carrot cake for dessert. The food was fabulous. The atmosphere and service were also great. We sat at the bar and our bartender, Dana was the bomb.dot com. Highly recommended.
(5)Todd B.
When I am back home in Smyrna, this is the one restaurant where I meet friends or take my family. The quality and quantity of the food here always is exceptional, and the wine and beer options also are impressive. I always love anything on the menu, but I particularly was impressed recently with the luscious grilled pork chops. The service is friendly and attentive, and you can't beat the hot rolls. If you're in Smyrna, go.

Times like this I wish Yelp had 1/2 stars because I feel like this place is a 3 1/2. But 3 says "A-OK" and that's pretty much how I feel about it, so that's what I'm going with. My boyfriend and I came here on Sunday morning for brunch. They open at 10:30 and we got here shortly after so it was pretty dead. But our waitress was super friendly, checked back often, and did everything she was supposed to do. My boyfriend opted for the mimosas (which they have, but aren't on the menu) and the taste was eh. They have a pretty limited menu for brunch, with about 10-12 options with some a la carte stuff too. My boyfriend got the ham and cheese omelette, and it was basically just ham and cheese, although he did say that the grits he got with it were pretty good. I opted for the Hickory Falls omelette which had Italian sausage, onion, red pepper, and herb cream cheese. It was pretty tasty although I had to take some of the cream cheese off because there was quite a bit and it was a little overkill. The skillet potatoes that came with it were pretty good too. There aren't many places for breakfast/brunch in the Smyrna area (aside from Sonic and Waffle House) so this was a nice change. I'd like to go back at night and see how their dinner menu compares to the brunch (since it seems like a lot of people enjoy that) and to check out the $2 margaritas they have on Thursdays. Definitely a place I would visit again.
(3)Jourden V.
We recently moved south of town, and Hickory Falls has quickly become our favorite local place. The service is good. The food is consistent and hot. The atmosphere is warm and relaxed. Drink specials are worth checking out. Blue Moon on draft? Yes, please! The fish sandwich, Apple Cheddar Grille, and burgers are all great options. A nice change of pace from all the chains and fast food that line Sam Ridley in Smyrna. A solid 3 1/2 stars. Oh, and the carrot cake! I rarely get dessert when I'm out to eat, but it is an absolute MUST at Hickory Falls! Out of this world!
(3)Melanie F.
Hickory falls is a beautiful, unique restaurant. There is a huge bar with a lot of seating, and a large dining room. An open kitchen concept is cool and noise from it does not spill into the dining area. The dishes I've had here were all great. Chicken with herb butter sauce and artichokes is fantastic. Decent wine selection and a few beers on tap. Would like to see more beer varieties, especially local brews. The do have a couple Yazoo flavored, which is cool. The overall theme of the place is unclear. A few random pictures in the bar area seem unrelated to each other, giving more of a thrown together look than a cohesive theme. But it's not terrible. Service has always been fine. Prices are really good for the amount and quality. Not ever tried any of their hand cut steaks.
(5)Corinne B.
So amazing. Beautiful and comfortable and clean. Seriously amazing food that is affordable. One of my all time favorites
(5)Ryan H.
I enjoyed dinner here with some great friends whom I hadn't seen in probably 10 years. We chose this venue based upon their suggestion and it proved to be more than adequate for the short time we had. We were immediately seated and drink orders were taken. Since it was going to be a short evening, I chose the sweet tea over a cocktail. Best tea I've ever had. Salads were delivered shortly thereafter and were just right. For dinner, I chose a steak and baked potato. The steak was decent, but nothing to brag about. A little tough and a little overcooked for my liking. All in all, it was a 3-star dining experience, made better by a 5-star evening with old friends, but I probably would not rush back.
(3)Chris H.
Walking in the place smells great!! You can smell the sweet smell of the wood burning grills. The wait staff are excellent, even the bus boys were so polite. I had the 12oz NY Strip that cost $18.99 and it came with two sides, which I had the house salad (at no extra cost) and fries. The steak was well cooked (medium) and had good flavor. Until I tasted the Hickory Falls Steak for $9.99 and one side that my wife had, and it tasted sooo much better than my high dollar steak. I will definitely go back, but not for a $20 steak. We also took home a slice of the house made carrot cake and it was so delicious and moist. One piece is big enough for two maybe even three people to share.All in all great place great staff!
(4)David S.
Visitors from Dallas, Tx... My wife and I were going to eat at the "Catfish House" - to our shock, it (including the building) was gone. We decided on "Hickory Falls" and what a choice! The food was great and the carrot cake was the best I've had since my mom's carrot cake. Our server was Cindy and she was great. When we move back to the area, this will be one of our favorites.
(5)Josh K.
This place is good for steaks, etc. Service was also good.
(4)Shequita C.
I was with a party of 8 about two weeks ago. Upon arrival, the restaurant was dead and I didn't know if we had made a good selection for dinner. Even with a light crowd, the servers had a hard time taking care of us. It wasn't as if they weren't friendly, they...just...didn't know how to manage a large crowd. Maybe because others started to trail in...naw. That couldn't have been it. The food was okay. I was tempted to order a steak but decided to try my friend's steak. Where was the flavor. He had to doctor it up with hot sauce. Ordered the smothered chicken dish instead. Decent. Didn't exceed my expectation though.
(3)William S.
Good steaks at decent prices. Ice cold draughts on tap. Server was a little awkward but besides that the place was solid.
(4)Alex V.
Aweome place. I had the french dip. I will have to say, the best one I have ever had. The bread was great and the meat was tender and flavorful. I also tried their soup and it was good too. Would go back...
(4)Brad M.
First time yesterday. Really loved it. Supposedly the same owners at the Franklin Chop House but this place is way better. Don't let the outside fool ya. The inside has a great log cabin with stone decor but better yet is the extremely reasonable prices. The Maui Chicken was one of the best cooked chicken meals I have ever had. Can't wait to go back.
(4)Will M.
hickory smoked pork chops and steaks are good, everything else I've had was blase. Decor is decent, open space, tall ceilings and stone.

Since I was up in Smyrna giving a big presentation for work, I decided to invite my aunt and uncle (who live close by), my parents (who do not live close by), and my brother to come have lunch with me. On a recommendation we decided on Hickory Falls. First off, I was glad to read about this place and find out it was locally owned. However, when you see the menu online and their website you may initially think it is a chain because the "slick" (or professional) factor is there. I got there early for our 1pm lunch so I did what any self-respecting person who likes to drink would do - I sidled up to the bar and ordered myself some wine. The bartender and I were the only people in the large bar area so we chatted about various things. This bar area is huge - long bar as well as multiple tables that hold large groups of people. Looks like a great place to get together with some friends. When everyone arrived we were seated in the dining room and our waiter was around with drinks and menus quickly. He also brought out bread while we were waiting for our meal. The softest, most delicious pillows of bread with what tasted like honey butter. I mean really. This bread was dreamy. Every single person at the table was completely silent while enjoying this bread. YUM! The menu is full of good solid American food. Steaks. Rotisserie chicken. Pork chops. Fried chicken. Even some fish and salmon dishes. Sandwiches. Salads. If you can't find something to eat here then you should just stay home and eat, seriously. I ended up with the pork chops - they apparently are cooked on the rotisserie and then wood-fired. Best of both worlds right? You get two sides with your meal so I got the garlic mashed potatoes and the sliced fresh tomatoes. Other side options were mashed sweet potatoes, mac and cheese, steamed broccoli, glazed carrots, etc. The pork chops were tender and had a good wood-fired flavor. Garlic mashed potatoes could have more garlic in them, but were still good. The tomatoes were fresh and once I salted and peppered them up they were great. Overall a very solid meal. Not a meal that's going to go down in your best EVER but definitely MORE than expected and with great options for everyone. Plus...my bill was $12 for lunch. With the coke. Not toooooo shabby! I will most definitely come back here again when up in Smyrna for work (if only to try that rotisserie chicken). It is locally owned and it is really pretty good. Give it a shot!
(4)Justin B.
On first notice, this place reminds me of a J. Alexander's. It's locally owned & operated which I certainly appreciate. I've been here twice and have enjoyed my experience both times. We were sat immediately and drink orders were taken. By the way, they have AMAZING drink specials during the week, so check that out. They also have a seasonal menu which included the Hickory Falls Steak, a 9 oz Rib Eye for only $11.99 with a side. The steak was ordered medium and cooked to perfection. The baked potato side is HUGE, so definitely get it loaded. For my first trip, we had the spinach and artichoke dip and it was some of the best I've ever had! On my second visit I ordered the fried calimari...it was slightly over-cooked, so I wouldn't recommend it. Oh, and the bread they serve with dinner is AH-mazing.
(4)Lady Katy P.
Wow! Is about all that needs said. Not one thing was anywhere near complaining about. Drinks were great, food was great, atmosphere was comfortable. Prices very reasonable for a higher than usual experience!
(5)Morgan J.
Had a good time and a good meal with my fiancé. I have to say that Longhorn Steakhouse steaks taste better.
(3)Dustin D.
Upside: You go here for 2 items, rotisserie chicken, mashed sweet potatoes and fried cheese wedges. Chicken is always good. So good they run out of it from time to time. Cheese wedges are unique, large pieces with an amazing marinara sauce. Otherwise the ambiance is good. Very unique bar area with bartenders who actually have personalities. Downside: Side salads taste like they have been in the fridge over night. Lettuce isnt crisp and toppings are stale. Other menu items are okay but nothing special.
(4)Raymond K.
Wow there is a chef out there that knows how to cook a steak. Normally when going out to an establishment that serves steak I usually have to order it a grade under the desired level that I prefer my steaks to be cooked at.
(5)Scott W.
Discovered this place on Sunday, after the Cinco De Mayo festivities in Smyrna. Had a great dinner. Service was fast and efficient, prices were really good for what we got, and food was really tasty. We'll be back again next time we're in Smyrna
(4)Kristine M.
I was up in central Tennessee for a meeting, and my client chose this place for lunch. I had the rotisserie chicken and chose seasoned rice as a side. I should have chosen a vegetable, as the rice was a bit crunchy. The chicken was moist and yummy. If I overshoot the Barrett Parkway by about four hours, I'd eat here again.
(3)Lance A.
I love there brunch on Sundays. The Hickory Falls omlette is awesome. A season cream cheese filling is the bomb!
(5)Dawn S.
Been many times. That tells you something! Love the atmosphere. The waiters are friendly and fast. The food is great. Can't beat the homemade carrot cake!
(4)Greg S.
Great food everything runs around 10-15$ Friendly fast serice. Great atmosphere
(4)Melissa L.
And for dinner, Jeff wanted to use a coupon out of either the Citipass or Entertainment book and before we could decide he just started driving and we wound up in Smyrna where he was willing to not coupon it if we could get into Cheddars but even though we got there fairly early, it was crammed full. So we saw Hickory Falls Wood Fired Grille. I had been there a couple of times for lunch and it was okay and we had a coupon for it so we decided to give it a try. Jeff ordered half a slab of ribs with the mashed sweet potatoes. I had a $7.99 steak special with a baked potato. Jeff's ribs were good but nothing extremely special. However, those mashed sweet potatoes with the 'goo' as I think the waiter called it (melted brown sugar, cinnamon and butter) were to die for. My steak wash not the typical thin, fatty piece of 'value' steak. It was a small but nice thick portion of flavorful meat that you could really taste tat it had been grilled over hickory. But Jeff saw order after order of the onion straws being delivered and they were huge. The rolls with honey butter were also a winner. All in all this was a good meal and with our buy one get one free coupon, one of the cheapest meals ever at less than $14 before tip. We'll definitely be back and we'll definitely order the onion straws and more of those sweet potatoes no matter what else we try.
(4)Heather R.
I will have to give this place 4 stars for ambiance, but 3 stars for food....the food is good....not great, not bad...just good. I haven't tried anything there that I thought was out of this world...their bbq chicken sandwich is pretty good and is usually a great standby...I've heard their salmon is supposed to be really good. Whenever I'm in the Smyrna area we tend to go here, because I just get too tired of the chain restaurants that are around.
(3)joan d.
Ambiance is nice...overly nice for the quality of food. Food tends to be bland...overpriced for what you get...the chicken is "OK"...steaks need to be upgraded...TOO MUCH FAT on any steak...and the sides are from sorta okay to bad bad bad. Save your money and go to chilli's, logan's or the catfish house...even Sonic has better chicken.
(2)Brynda Q.
The meals I've had at Hickory Falls have been good overall. The rotisserie chicken is my hands-down favorite; other entrees I've had have ranged from okay (anything bbq) to good (fish tacos). Their sides are fine, but limited. What I don't like are the prices. Almost all of the sandwiches are near 10.00, and while they're fine, they aren't worth $19. Even worse is that tea is 2.29, but I was told by the manager that the owners won't allow Splenda because it's "too expensive." McDonald's has Splenda, for goodness sake.
(3)J I.
Food came out within minutes of arrival. Food could have been better if they did not over saturated the ribs so much BBQ sauce. Would have liked to taste the meat more rather than just the BBQ sauce.
(3)Hope M.
We've never been disappointed when we come here. The servers are attentive even at their busiest time. The food is delicious, fresh and hot. As always tonight was no exception I highly recommend them.
(5)Chris G.
Great local restaurant. We have been here many times and they consistently offer great service. The burgers taste like they grind the meat themselves. The rotisserie chicken is excellent as is the gyro. The carrot cake was shipped directly from Heaven! Try the red beans and rice!
(4)Bob L.
Let me start by saying for all of the restaurants (mainly chain/fast food) on Sam Ridley parkway Hickory Falls is definitely one of the better choices. The atmosphere is hard to explain but it just seems like a cool place right when you walk in. The entire staff is very nice right from when you walk in to when you are leaving making sure you had a good experience. The one complaint I do have though is sometimes the food may take a little while to come out but it's not so bad that it makes me not want to come again. Food wise I would recommend any of their burgers, salads or pasta. Today I had the "Bunkhouse Burger" and it was delicious. I felt extremely full and satisfied when I finished the meal. This is also a good place to take a group of 4-6 people for business meetings or get togethers. I definitely recommend going to Hickory Falls!
(4)Charlie P.
This is my third visit...today a work lunch. Solid place for casual at the bar or business lunch. Rolls rock! Stir fry is great, as well as the pork loin. Boom!
(5)Tom S.
As luck would have it, my client brought us here for dinner. This time the food was better. I had a filet that was properly cooked. Sides and salad were passing fair. Service was very spotty. Our waitress clearly knew nothing about wine, spirits , or people that order them. She also took forever to take our food order, then everything came out at once. All in all, mostly harmless.
(3)Susan B.
This place never lets us down! Always well prepared and delicious. Carrot cake is best I've had ever. Kinda ruins it for any other carrot cake.
(5)Al R.
Had lunch there yesterday. My wife and I had forgotten how good this place is !!!!!!!!! Got the crispy onion straws for an appetizer and they were fabulous (but be warned you get enough of those addictive straws for a least 4 or 5 people). They are a bargain at only $ 6.99. My main dish was the rattlesnake chicken pasta and it was excellent......had some good sized pieces of chicken and the sauce it was in was spicy without being too hot. Loved every bite of both the appetizer and the entree !!!!!!!!
(5)Melanie B.
I found this restaurant on yelp and so glad I did. When we walked it, the ambiance reminded me a lot of longhorns steakhouse. Lots of wood, high ceilings, and a casual atmosphere. We ate around 9:00PM, so we were seated right away. We sat in the bar area in order to view basketball on three of T's that were airing games. Our server Hayley was very attentive and knowledgeable of the menu. She gave great suggestions and wonderful service. We ordered the calamari as a starter, and it was delicious. I ordered the Aloha Salad but instead of chicken I ordered salmon. It was utterly divine and the portion was huge. I only ate half of it and then enjoyed the rest of it the next day for lunch. The chocolate cake was our dessert and it was probably the best chocolate cake I have ever had at a restaurant. I will definitely be back!
(5)Tom F.
I'm on the road 4 nights a week. I eat more dinners out then at home. I'm sure I get a little picky, but when you order the house specialty ( rotisserie chix) you expect it to be good. It was one of the driest pieces of chicken I've ever had. The garlic mashed potatoes had no garlic, and the green beans were too sweet. Why do they have any sugar in them is a mystery to me. The service was great, the beer was cold and it's a nice looking place.
(2)LeeAnn B.
This was the very first place I ate in Tennessee and it absolutely put my expectations high for the remainer of my trip! It is a steak house and oh so yummy! I ordered the New York Strip with mashed potatoes and green beans as my side. So classic right. I usually order my steak Medium and it came out exactly as I wanted. If I remember correctly my dinner cost around $25 or so. It's pricey, but on par with most other steak restaurants. While waiting they also provide dinner rolls with this sweet butter. Not all restaurants give complimentary food while waiting so that is always a plus....especially after a long day of flying! I wish we had one of these restaurants in San Diego! If I go to Nashville for work again, I will definitely be eating here!
(5)Jamie N.
Great place! Wanted to go to somewhere unique to the area and was definitely glad to have picked hickory falls! We were seated right away and the waitress was extremely friendly. Ordered the salmon and mashed sweet potatoes, the salmon was alright, the sweet potatoes were VERY sweet. A friend ordered the ribs and loved them! The rolls were fresh out of the oven and warm. Salads were regular steakhouse type salads. Got the carrot cake and chocolate cake to go. Both are wonderful! Definitely a gem in this town that is different than the rest of the chains. Very clean as well!
(4)Michelle D.
This was our first visit, and we are new to the area so we were excited to find a wonderful restaurant, with exceptional service and food. Our waitress Dana was exceptional, knowledgeable about the menu, kept our glasses full and brought us a complimentary piece of carrot cake that was to die for. I can say this will be our go to restaurants for evenings out and when company comes to visit!
(5)Lori F.
Nice place to grab a drink. The bar area can get a bit loud but rarely overbearing. Parking can be difficult so I try to good during non peak times.
(4)Charles S.
Great alternative to all the franchises in the area. The service was great. The food was good. Blackened chicken was a little over cooked. Definitely recommend the carrot cake!
(3)Jennifer M.
As my first visit, I can say I was highly impressed. The service was very good and prompt. Everyone in out party enjoyed their food as well. My only complaint is for a little more taste to the Mushroom Swiss Burger but it was cooked to order. I have no complaints about this place.
(4)Steve S.
My "medium" cooked parmesan steak was rare and quite chewy...one of the worst I've had at a restaurant. Her pork chops were slightly over cooked and very dry. Rest of food was only so-so. We and 4yo great niece were offered the Oreo ice cream thingy only to have waitress return to tell us they had run out earlier...try explaining that to a 4yo. Was offered the "5 different kinds of chocolate" cake, asked if we could get ice cream on it and told no, but they did get a scoop for the 4yo--a rather pricey scoop! Save your money on the cake and go to Longhorn's for their "Chocolate Stampede." Did ask to see Mgr but that request was ignored.
(2)DeeDee C.
First time here and excellent! Great service and excellent food. I got the Monterrey Chicken and my husband got the ribeye. So good! Will be back!
(5)Chant S.
I love this place! Went there several times & kept going back. I have tried almost all of their items on the menu and none of them ever disappointed me. Everything on their menu is just mouth-watering delicious! The entrees are reasonably priced & they come in good-sized portions. My favorites are the Parmesan Crusted Chicken & the Rotisserie Chicken. The mashed sweet potatoes is absolutely divine & I always get that as a side item to go with my main entree. I highly recommend this place to anyone who is in for some serious good food!
(5)Samantha C.
My husband and I have been to Hickory Falls many times. We come for special occasions and bring friends and family when we they visit from out of town. Everything we have tried has tasted fantastic. Their steaks are so delicious. When I've ventured away from steak I've had dishes which would be worthy or a great review at any restaurant but their steaks are so exceptional I find myself wishing I'd ordered one. The service is consistently acceptional. Every server we have ever had has given beautiful customer service. I would and DO recommend Hickory Falls to anyone looking for a fantastic dinner.
(5)Billy H.
I've had food from hickory falls twice, both times were carry out. The first as a mushroom burger. It was okay, it didn't have much of a flavor to it. Just a burger with some mushrooms that didn't have any seasoning with them. The fries were good but not amazing. The second time I had the Cajun pasta. The Alfredo sauce was so runny it was like eating noodle soup. I'd rather eat at Cheddars down the street.
(2)Susie M.
I ate here 2 times in a couple of days and was underwhelmed on both occasions. The first time the service and food were dreadful. Several people in our party ordered dessert and it took at least 30 min for it to come out. The restaraunt was not even busy. Checks also took a long time. The carrot cake was quite good. The 2nd visit improved the service but not the food. Will not return if given an option.
(3)Kandie V.
Delicious food, great service! My family and I go here often and there has never been a bad experience. The mozzarella cheese wedges are awesome and the steaks are always grilled to perfection! My little one cleans his plate every time (impressive for such a finicky eater).
(5)Robert U.
This place is really good. My lovely wife and I have had lunch here several times, and each has been a good experience. FOOD: - We started with Crispy Onion Straws - excellent, lightly battered, flaky, light, done just right. - Salads are really good, fresh, and crispy. Dressings were very tasty. - The nachos are excellent, but they are a meal in and of themselves. - Burgers are good, pretty large, and not overcooked. - I had a steak here once, and it was good. SERVICE: - No wait for a table at lunch. - Service at hostess stand and wait staff is very professional. This place is a cut above the other casual restaurants in this immediate area (e.g., Red Robbin, Chaddar's, etc.). And my lovely wife digs it!
(4)Nicole O.
Dusty the bartender is very nice and patient and knowledgable
(4)Gary S.
This area of Smyrna is full of chain restaurants. From Chili's to Logan's to Red Robin, they are all accounted for. So it was nice to find Hickory Falls for something different. Service, atmosphere, and food were all very good! I ordered the cedar plank salmon, with a baked potato, and steamed broccoli. Everything was pretty good, but the salmon was a bit bland. It wasn't horrible, it just needed a little more flavor. They have a lot of variety on the menu, and I will definitely be back to try something else.
