I had eaten here a couple years ago and it was quite good. They serve continental food with a homestyle flair. If you eat indoors, you share 4 sides, outdoors you get 2 apiece. I will first say that The Hickory Hop Fest and Prom Night were going on, so downtown was nuts. We ate outdoors because the place was... More

This place was very good. Atmosphere was nothing to shout about but food was great. They give each table 4 side dishes and every one of them was delish! Dessert was yummy too! Definitely worth a visit if you are in town.

I've been to Josh's several times while visiting Hickory and it's always been a great experience. Josh is CIA graduate and between that and his real world cooking experience he's created a culinary experience in North Carolina that cannot be matched. Hands down, Josh's is the best restaurant in the entire area, nothing else even comes close. All the dishes... More

Excellent! Everything was delicious, well prepared, and enjoyable! We came for Brunch and the chicken was juicy and excellently flavoured through out, the shrimp and grits were creamy and simply prepared. The chef's table was great to sit at, Dusty was friendly and helpful. We will definately be back.

I love Josh's. I am always pleased with my food choices. The restaurant is a little small which makes the noise level kind of high. Other than that, food is great, service is great, and Josh is great.

The service was excellent and the food was well prepared. We had dinner there on New's Years Eve. We sampled all of the menu for that night.

Josh, the chef, is great. They've been open now for about 3 years and have gained an excellent reputation for themselves. Right in the middle of downtown Hickory...great Sunday brunch.

I stopped here on my way to Asheville and was looking forward to a nice brunch based on other reviews of this restaurant. WeI had the eggs benedict, fried green tomatoes and caesar salad. The caesar salad was plain iceberg lettuce with a bland dressing dumped on top. The english muffins on the eggs benedict weren't properly toasted. The fried... More
