Things To Do
Hatch Sandwich Bar
Our favorite spot for lunch! Don't miss the reuben, the mac and cheese, or the brussel sprouts.
Henry River Mill Village
One of our favorite spots in the area, this is an awesome example of what western NC used to look like. It's also owned by some wonderful friends, and is where the Hunger Games was filmed!
Catawba Science Center
If you have kids with you, the Science Center is a great place to spend the day and learn a few things.
Hickory Museum of Art
For a more refined Hickory experience, the HMA has a great collection! Plus all the natural light you could ever want.
Olde Hickory Tap Room
Tap Room is a Hickory staple. Head here for late night bar food and the best pub chips in the world.
Taste Full Beans
Our favorite coffee spot! TFB is an integral part of Hickory's downtown, and also serves avocado toast under $5. Can't beat that!
Crescent Moon Cafe
Beer lovers, this is your place! Crescent has tons of great local beers on draft and Jordan's favorite grilled cheese in Hickory (The Rover).
La Tienda Mexicana Las isabelas
A hidden gem and the source of the best margs and Mexican food in Catawba County.
Glenn C. Hilton, Jr. Memorial Park
If the weather's nice, head to Glenn Hilton park! It's perfect for a stroll along the boardwalk or through the woods.
Fonta Flora Brewery
Really excellent locally-sourced beer, if you're up for a 30 minute drive.
Cafe Rule & Wine Bar
If you're in search of bougie brunch on Saturday or Sunday, look no further!
