Travel-A Lunch Stop in Hickory NC-Olde Hickory Station

-

 We were going on a mini weekend vacation.  The drive was from Cary to Ashville.  The trip would take about 4 hours.  We decided to try to find a stopping point for lunch about halfway.  A friend suggested we stop in Hickory, NC.  

I did some research on Hickory and found the cutest little restaurant with a specialty market attached. The name of the restaurant is Olde Hickory Station. It is an old historic train station that has been restored.  You will find it in the heart of downtown Hickory. The station is operated by Ole Hickory Brewery. 

Here are a few facts you will find on their website

*It is open 7 days a week.  They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner.  On Saturday and Sunday, they serve brunch. 

*They have an in-house bakery and market.





*There is a full-service bar.


*Handcrafted Cocktails.

*They have wine by the bottle and the glass.

*There is a market in the building also.

You can find their menu online for all meals as well as a drink menu. 

There was a lot to choose from on the menu.  Rocky and I both decided on the Goat Cheese and Pepper Jelly Burger.  It was delicious.  Goat cheese and pepper jelly go amazingly well together.  I would recommend it. 

If you find yourself in Hickory, I suggest you give Olde Hickory Station.  The atmosphere is great, the people super friendly and the food is delicious. 

Happy Travels Everyone!

This blast from the past was written back in 2016.  Wow, where does the time go?  I checked to make sure it is still open, and it is. Happy day! Linville Falls Winery After our somewhat strenuous hike down to the lower falls of Linville Gorge, Erica and I decided to reward ourselves with a visit to a local Winery,  Linville Falls Winery  All the way up the Gorge Trail on this somewhat warm fall day, we kept encouraging ourselves with the promise of wine and relaxation.  And it was just as we imagined...wonderful:-) Here is a description from their website.

Wiseman has dreamed of growing grapes and opening a winery for more than 25 years, and now he and his family are pioneering a new High Country wine in Linville, North Carolina. Nestled in the lower end of Avery County near the Blue Ridge Parkway is a state of the art tasting room...
