We drove 20 miles to dine at J Hicks On The Square because we heard they were using Beef Tallow in one of their friers.
We ordered a couple drinks from the bar and we have 2 Thumbs up for the Hick’s Breeze. I watched them use high brand products (pineapple juice and cranberry juice) so it was no surprise that this tasted good, and was effective.
For dinner, we had battered fried fish (in Beef Tallow) with fries. It was delicious. Their homemade seafood sauce was a surprise hit. Fish was cooked perfectly and a nice size filet. Fry taste was very clean. No ‘beef taste’–just clean and tasty.
For dessert, the Hubs got the Girl Scout Cookie Mason Jar Delight, and I got the Hot Waffle Ice Cream Sandwich. Both were delicious.
This restaurant is a mom-and-pop local spot that is clearly a favorite with regulars popping in (think, “Hey Norm!”). Nothing fancy. Some of the booth seats are a little tired. Bathroom was super clean. Servers were friendly, gracious and efficient.
We’ll definitely be back.

Had a very nice first experience here. Friends told us to swing by and try it. It happened to be a Wednesday, so it was “Burger Night”. Both burgers were delicious, as were the fries and fried pickles. Our bartender/Server, Lee, was very friendly and engaging and makes a mean Old Fashion. Atmosphere is nice and the place feels very clean and will maintained. We’ll definitely be back, and we hope Lee is slinging drinks again the next time!

First time to J. Hicks was a blast!
I am up from Tennessee visiting in laws and swing by here and loved it! It was Wednesday night, they have trivia night going, and it was burger night!
I got the breakfast burger and it was amazing! We split the chicken tenders for an appetizer because our waitress said it is breaded in Frosted Flakes, 10/10!
Our waitress Kayla was super kind and welcoming, she made the experience super warm and kind.
I will be returning on my next trip, I wish I had a place like this in my hometown.

We randomly pick a new place to try when we go to mercer. One trip to ” J. Hicks on the square” and we are done with random picking. When I took a bite of the burger I ordered..I was so confident in them , I also ordered a chicken parm sandwich to go. My lord when I tasted it later that evening at home.. it was/is worth bragging about. A waitress named Maria took great care of us. She was very easy to talk to and when she was asked a few questions by us, it was like asking a friend, not an employee with a script. As we were getting up to leave, the owner came over and personally asked us about our experience.. I was very impressed. They have a classy bar to sit at , but plenty of separated seating for a nice family environment. I cant wait to go back. Thank you Maria and staff.. see you soon.

The tasty food, cold draft beer and excellent service. Lee and the other girls are fantastic. A lot of times you can catch live performances for music different nights.

Amazing fish dinner one of the best I’ve had. The fries are hand cut like carnival fries. Buffalo chicken wrap and chicken. Bacon ranch wraps were awesome. Live music on Saturday. Starting at 7 PM was very entertaining. It was not too loud. It was not too low. It was the perfect volume. I also found out Thursday night is jazz night and Wednesday night is trivia night starting at 7 PM and the kids would enjoy trivia on Wednesday.
I highly recommend the calamari as an appetizer. It was perfectly cooked, and the breading was very light and crispy and cooked to perfection.
I very much so enjoyed this atmosphere

Food is great atmosphere is great and the service is typically new but good! The reason for less than five stars is the ridiculous service charge for using a card. See attached for reference. I totally understand 3.5% for small businesses fees using a card but 20% it’s a bit ridiculous. Beer is $1 more if using a card.

Everything was clean. Service was good. The food was ok. Nothing wrong with it at all. Nothing spectacular, though, either. Perfectly fine. The front of the restaurant was opened up to let the breeze and fresh air in. That was lovely.

This is my go to in all of Mercer County. The environment is warm and inviting, the service is on point and engaging, and the the food is scrumptious and hearty. I love the variety of beers on tap with most being craft. The sauces for the wings and tenders are innovative and delicious. Last but not least, the prices are very reasonable. SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL RESTAURANTS!

I went here with my sister because she wanted fried green tomatoes and we found out they were a seasonal dish, ha ha. I had the spinach dip appetizer and she ended up getting the fried pickles.
The spinach dip was *really* good – I’m used to the spinach and artichoke dip over at Applebee’s, which is good, but this was AMAZING. Seriously baffled me how some chips and dip could make me scrape the bowl clean. The chips were perfectly salted, and I know I sound ridiculous, but they had some kid of special salt or something that was SO good. The dip was creamy and cheesy and DELICIOUS. Can’t recommend enough.
The fried pickles came in spears rather than chips. They were “good, but very hot.” Maybe let them cool down before trying them.
The staff was so nice and friendly. We got there at opening time, so there was no one else there and we chatted a bit. They were apologetic to my sister who was very sad about the fried green tomatoes, ha.
I would definitely come here again, even with the drive from Greenville. Great experience.
