Has a bad (old) reputation, but give the new Patriotic blue collar family oriented owners a chance! Only open a few months, come check ot out; ill be back. Just up from my church, had lunch. Loved the food. BLT with Pimento cheese, yes sir! The eggroll trio is amazing. See pics. Front porch=Firefly + lemonade try it!!! Veterans 1st responders, etc welcome!

Great mix of amazing, specialty Southern food with a rooted, down-home honky tonk, sports bar and grill atmosphere! Pool tables, jukebox, live music, tvs, line dancing, etc.
I ordered the hamburger steak, cheesy grits cake with bacon marmalade type jam on top, homemade baked mac-n-cheese and cornbread. The portions were large and every bite was some of the best food I’ve ever had!!
The bartender was very friendly and the owners were present and engaging the guests.
I’d like to go back on a night when they have the line dancing. I’m definitely going back for seconds on all of the food! Highly recommend!

The fried pickles were good. You get 4 spears for 8 dollars. The dinners were not very good or what was expected. My husband said his Mac was dry and didnt taste like it had cheese in it. My chicken said fried or grilled, I selected fried and it was not battered, so this may be just their take on it. My green beans were cold, I didnt send them back. The cornbread was so dry it crumbled like sand. My Brussel sprouts were good, nice seasoning.
When we arrived there were 3 guests at the bar and one other table. It took a hour for dinner to come out. I wish this place the best in the future.

Love this place so much, the food is always amazing. They have an incredibly clean kitchen(I saw it with my own eyes) and a 99.5 sanitation score from the health department! Every one is always so welcome and friendly. Couldn’t recommend enough.

We dropped in later in the evening last Saturday and we had the best time here! The owners have really revamped the place. We had no trouble getting a pool table and they have some other games like air hockey and skee ball. They had some music playing in the back room which looked like you could dance if you wanted to. Bartenders were great too! Great atmosphere!! Plan to return soon to try the food.

I absolutely love this place! I have had several meals here and it always exceeds my expectations! The decor and the owners are absolutely wonderful to talk to! And free pool on Fridays couldn’t get any better than that

My husband and I are always excited to try new places in Hickory in hopes to find good that actually tastes as good as everyone says it does. Just about everywhere go we are disappointed. Unless it’s a chain restaurant, and usually even then, the food is usually just not good.
Dirty South is different. I haven’t tried everything on the menu, but I can tell from I have had that they care about what they put out. The food is scratch made, so it’s not perfect, but it actually tastes good. You can tell that they care about the product they put out, they care how it tastes.
The daytime atmosphere is relaxed. We enjoyed our lunch and I’m excited to go when they have live music and see it as an actual bar. The service is great. The building it’s in is fighting a bad reputation, from a bad owner then a bandaid “rescue” from Bar Rescue. The new owners have turned it around and fixed it up.
Don’t let that keep you from checking this place out. We met and talked to one of the owners, great people. They are proud military supporters, with their son currently serving. And they have all active duty and veterans sign their wall.
