Standard greasy bar food. There's nothing to rave over but does what you need when you are 6 beers in and feeling snacky.

I guess I was sort of shocked the food was so good at what appears to be a dive bar. Lol. I had the steak sandwich, and my wife had the BLT and we shared. Outstanding and a solid value! Incredibly friendly and responsive staff. Fantastic overall experience, and very affordable. Oh, and get the onion rings! So much better than anything you'll find at a fast food restaurant.

My brother and I were at our family cottage in Linden and wanted something different. My husband and I had been to Old Hickory a few times in recent year and this time it did not disappoint. We split a Stromboli and it brought back memories of our neighborhood pizzeria in Detroit. It was amazing. You will bring half of it home!! We highly recommend Old Hickory if you are in the area OR if you want to take a drive for some great food.
