I’m writing this review with genuine disappointment, as I previously had a much better experience at Hickory Grove years ago. I’m not sure if there has been a change in management, but my visit yesterday was nothing like what I remembered. I came in to have breakfast with a friend who hadn’t arrived yet. I waited patiently to be seated and politely asked the host, an older gentleman, if I could sit in a booth. I was told there were no booths available, even though I could clearly see two open booths at the time. I accepted the table I was given. Shortly after, another party of two came in and requested a booth and was immediately seated in one of the booths I had been told was unavailable. Then another couple was seated in the second booth. When my waitress came (she was kind and professional), I ordered water. Afterward, I noticed a booth had opened right next to my table and asked if I could move. She agreed, but before I could, the host returned with another older man and stated that I could not sit in a booth unless I had a party of five. This was confusing and upsetting, especially since multiple smaller parties had just been seated in booths moments earlier. The two men stood there repeating that I needed five people to sit in a booth. At that point, I no longer felt comfortable staying. As I gathered my belongings to leave, one of the men loudly said, “That’s right, have a good day,” which felt unnecessary and embarrassing. I rarely leave reviews, as I understand everyone has tough days. However, I couldn’t ignore how this situation made me feel. I also noticed I was the only minority in the restaurant at the time, which made the treatment feel even more uncomfortable and concerning. All I wanted was to enjoy a comfortable breakfast. Instead, I left feeling embarrassed and disappointed. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and addresses how guests are treated moving forward.
Breakfast buffet is actually very good. Fresh pancakes not heated up from frozen. Good B&G...chunks of sausage. And fruit... pineapple and cantaloupe out of season..still taste amazing.
Food is great and the service is good. Everyone is polite and makes sure you have everything you want. Sundays are their busiest day especially after church. But the wait for a table to become available is not too long of a wait. I'd recommend this place to anyone that's wants a homestyle like cooked meal to go here. You won't be disappointed.
