Best Hot Spot Restaurants in Hickory

We were able to celebrate a wonderful Thanksgiving at the Ruth Chris in Cherokee. The service and food were absolutely wonderful. We will definitely be back.

The food was very good and the service was exceptional! Logan is one of the best servers I have encounter. His knowledge of the food and wine was outstanding and his service and attention to detail was second to none!!!!

Eating outside on the terrace with its outstanding views makes Sunset Terrace a beautiful and special place. I always go there to celebrate special occasions.

We had the Tostones appetizer platter, which was plenty to split four ways before our dinner, and was very unique and tasty. The Cubano sandwich was fantastic. My husband enjoyed the ceviche and a friend enjoyed the Arroz con Pollo (huge portion). I had the Garden Grove cocktail, which was good, but mostly I just tasted cucumber. My friends had the Hemingway Sunset, which unfortunately neither one of them loved. We’ve been here previously when it was quite crowded and loud, but on a Monday evening, it was almost empty. Because it had just rained, we opted to sit inside and ended up at a booth. The one downside to our experiences was that the overall temperature in the restaurant was quite warm and sitting in that elevated booth directly under the bright lights made it uncomfortably hot and bright. I wish there had been away to turn the lights down or off. I actually had to get up from the table and go outside to cool off at one point.

The Lamb loin was amazing and the portion was generous. Margaritas were great as always. Our waiter was great. Very attentive and offered descriptions of the dishes we asked about. Very pleasant experience
