The Hickory Lodge - Bel Air

1st time visit. It was packed inside outside with a band playing but no wait time. I 'm particular about Nachos tried their Chili Beef Nachos. Tricolor chips with the toppings I look for on Nachos that other places do not offer was a pleasant surprise. They were not soggy either. Great start. My date had 8 Buffalo Wings loved the size crispy skin. Mild Buffalo sauce had a unique flavor that makes u want more. Definitely not ur average sauce, strictly restaurant quality it was very, very good.

Server was supper attentive, food and drink was good. Live music was good. Not too loud. Only thing I would say is outdoor seating is lovely but the lights need to be fixed. There were many bulbs out and it's kind of difficult to see. Other than that..good visit! Would visit again....

The food was delicious. Our waitress was attentive and pleasant. We love the outside seating. The drinks were even better!

I called to do a carry out order and they said they don’t do carry out between 5 and 8. So i went up to sit at the bar and ordered a drink. I ask to order a carry out order and the were very nice at the bar at took my order while was having a drink. There was one couple at the bar and 3 table with 4 people at the restaurant. After a few minutes the bar tender said they could not do my carry out order which was 3 burgers. The order was canceled and i could reorder if i was eating there. I wish the management could tell me why I can order three sandwiches to eat there but not carry it out. Plus the place was empty inside. The bartender was very nice and took care of me unlike whichever employee in the back canceled out my order because it was a carry out order. This is not the first time it’s happened. This is a good way to drive away customers and it’s a good way for me to keep telling my friends not to come there anymore no wonder your business is probably dropping every time. I would like to hear back from management on why they will not let you order carry out at the bar but you can order food and eat it there when the place is empty. I would like a response thank you Since your reply says you were extremely busy then that means one couple at the bar and four tables you’re extremely busy I don’t understand so instead of doing carry out i replaced my order to eat at the bar . When they brought it out I asked for three boxes and then box it up and left what’s the difference.

This place was recommended to me for their Rockfish Bites, so I figured I'd try it out when up that way. Since Rockfish Bites aren't really my thing, I went for some wings pickle chips. As seen by the photo, the wings were not the best, however the pickle chips were tasty. Service was fairly quick by the bartender at the time, that's about it.
