My family and I love our Hickory Jason's Deli. Everything that we eat is always delicious. The cashier is always helpful and even knows I have a gluten allergy. Jason's is always our pick!

Great night with friends! Staying at Rock Barn Spa and headed into town for dinner. Wonderful wine, specialty drinks and food. If you are vegan or gluten free, it is the perfect place!

Our family has loved Gouda since we moved to Hickory - great food and service, and the gluten-free options have been a welcome choice for a family member that needs it. Unfortunately, Cafe Gouda recently switched all their chicken dishes to use chicken thighs, and...it simply doesn't taste good. The dishes that we loved have really taken a hit in quality since the switch. I hate to cross this restaurant off our list of regular patronage, but until they switch back to chicken breast, we won't be back. We truly hope you switch back soon - or at least give us an option!

This place was our saving grace for last weekend after we were seated and then ignored for twenty minutes at Frothy Rooster. On a lark we decided to come to Hickory Social House for brunch, because we'd been looking forward to having it and would be so disappointed to have to call it off because of bad service somewhere. The live music was amazing, like genuinely good, not just decent for a bar. Amazing food, incredible service, attentive and friendly staff that all seemed to enjoy what they were doing. We kept raving about the food as we ate, and the temperature was kept nice inside, not too hot or cold, which is impressive in this weather and with rushes of people entering. We immediately decided to come again for Thursday specials and returned for dinner. It was just as incredible as the first time! We're lucky this place is 40 minutes away or else we'd go bankrupt dropping in at every given opportunity. Everything was wonderfully flavourful and fresh, cooked perfectly, and generously seasoned. We got beignets for dessert and they took a bit to come out but we honestly didn't even notice because we were enjoying the ambience, and then they came out and said it would be comped entirely for the wait. They were the best I've ever had. They also have a really impressive after-9 menu for the drinking crowd. Lots of gluten free, vegetarian, and vegan options, too. As a vegetarian I didn't feel at all limited by the offerings.

Last weekend, we held my daughter a bridal shower and out of about 30 people attending, I knew at least one person requires Gluten-Free (G-F) food. I ordered a cake for everyone else and a dozen G-F cupcakes from Corner Bakery. They made chocolate cupcakes with emerald green frosting which was beautiful! In addition, they placed G-F, edible pearls on each cupcake! Needless to say, the cupcakes were a huge hit! I returned home with none. The groom's Mom made it a point to tell me how fantastic they were. She said 'I've never eaten anything G-F before, but. I could eat those every day". Thank you Corner Bakery for matching the wedding color perfectly and for such delicious cupcakes. We have more upcoming showers and this "Mom of the Bride" will definitely be back. Wish I were able to give more than 5 stars! Great bakery!

AVOID AVOID AVOID. Hostess seated her friends ahead of us, the place is not even open for full-capacity dining, and it was dirty. Service was minimal, but probably because the entire waitstaff but one server was outside smoking with the side door open so smoke could come into the restaurant. I ordered gluten-friendly pancakes that came out BURNT. I mean, black as a charcoal, and I asked the waitress to take them back. She said that the manager told her they were supposed to look like that because they are gluten-free. Omg, I must look really stupid! The waitress did take them back and brought me three fresh ones, but the food was all around subpar. The waitress made up for all of the other ridiculousness, but seriously...do not eat here.

I loved it but it would be awesome if they had some healthy options in the baked goods area! Gluten free or keto would be amazing

Notions staff treated me very well. The food was delish. Perfect outdoor seating space. Blankets offered. Notions needs to update the menu to notate gluten-free options.
