Typically, I am not a fan of buffet style breakfast. However, I will say that Hickory Grove has won me over with theirs. The offerings are limited, but they are the most popular breakfast items. Also, the staff is extremely attentive to the buffet and keeps it not only well stocked, but clean and well organized.
The buffet started with fresh fluffy biscuits and milk gravy with sausage. It also had; scrambled eggs, hash browns, scrambled omelette, american fries, link sausage, bacon, patty sausage, french toast, waffles, pancakes and carve-able ham. They even had a bowl of fresh fruit. I took a sampling of everything and for buffet food, it was as good as if it were made to order and brought to my table.
The servers are friendly and did frequent table checks to make sure everything was satisfying. My coffee cup was topped off on the regular, so it was always warm.
HG isn’t a true diner, but it’s a restaurant that specializes in comfort foods.

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.

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.

The best restaurant i have ever seen! The best food and the portions are amazing for the price. The staff is some of the most friendly and helpful and the family values are the most respectful ever. Absolutely a must go especially during the weekend breakfast buffet.

Such friendly people! We’re from out of town and stopped in with our children and had an excellent experience. Our waitress was amazing. The menu had so much to choose from. Our food came out quickly and everything was delicious. We will definitely come back when we’re in the area!

Never recommending or returning to this place ever. Nasty and rude man (not sure if he was owner or manager perhaps) refused to seat our party because he said we had too many people…more like too many African-American people. As soon I entered alone, it seemed ok to be seated…until I mentioned we’d have a large group of family meeting us for breakfast. Then suddenly it was a rude “no, we can’t do that”. Mind you, we called the day before and asked if they would have room and they said sure but it “would be first come first serve in the large back room”.
But once he saw us it was “no back room” and “we can’t do it”….we even asked if he could seat half the guests or to less than 10…met with more rudeness and said he didn’t “want no party”. We just wanted to eat breakfast. We left since we didn’t want to be around that vibe anyways – felt the prejudice for sure.
There was certainly room for the few groups of people I saw walk in before and after we walked out. Didn’t try the food obviously, so no clue if it’s fine or terrible. The other staff just barely spoke, said some fake sorrys…

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.

Service was AMAZING! The food was AMAZING! It was just like home. And we just had breakfast. The menu was well spread and plenty of variety for all day choices. The owner is just an absolute sweetheart and my waitress was also. I look forward to coming back and trying one of everything!
