Hickory Inn Cafe

What a great restaurant. Marcy, the cook and the 3 Sheriff's we met were so kind and friendly. We had the absolute best BLT we have ever had! I highly recommend the Hickory Inn Cafe. A real gem.

We made a small pitstop on our road trip. We couldn’t love this little restaurant more. Felt like it was right out of a small town movie set. The food was fantastic, the service was great, and the people were all so genuine and nice. We had a great experience and we’ll be back next time we’re passing through.

Hickory Inn Cafe is not worth going out of your way for and lands firmly at a 2-star experience. The appeal here is almost entirely nostalgic. Being located on Historic Route 66 gives the place an initial sense of promise, and from the outside it reads like a classic roadside stop that should deliver comfort food and character. Unfortunately, the experience does not live up to that expectation. Food quality is the primary issue. Dishes are edible but forgettable, with flavors that feel flat and poorly executed for a diner setting. This is the kind of menu that should excel at simple things done well, but instead delivers meals that feel rushed and lacking care. Nothing stood out as particularly good, and several items felt closer to cafeteria quality than a destination-worthy Route 66 stop

This place represents what’s good about small town/rural America, the people were friendly, everyone seemed to know each other and even though we were out of Towners they still said hey. But being friendly in a restaurant isn’t worth a 5 star review. The food was delicious, everyone enjoyed their meal. The lumberjack breakfast, I had the Vega omelette And my friend had the Route 66. The portions were filling, the food was good, my omelet was incredible and the prices were reasonable. If you’re driving through Vera for whatever reason this is a good place to stop for breakfast Now this is corona times so I have to put this for those that are conscious of it they don’t wear masks here, me personally idc the food was great and the service was amazing. I highly recommend this place

It wasn't horrible, but the whole staff seemed distracted by each other. My husband ordered chicken fried steak and received chicken fried chicken. They didn't care, because that's what was written on the ticket. Oh well, it was good.
