Reviews for Hickory & Oak in Bowling Green, KY
An absolutely wonderful restaurant with some amazing food! It's a classy place to enjoy a great dinner and have a couple of... drinks with friends. Their menu has something for everyone and the portions are huge and good for sharing. You'll find thechef's creations are delectable and will have you coming back. Read more
The atmosphere was rather relaxed but the decor was pretty original with a more rustic feel to it. We recommend you make a... reservation. The menu had a lot of variety from steaks and curried sea bass, to a rack of elk. We were disappointed in thescallop appetizer as it came with bone marrow but there was not much flavor to it. We both ordered our steaks rare, however myfilet was prepared closer to medium but my husband's ribeye came out perfect. Both were really delicious, despite mine beingover cooked and I do want to point out I did not send mine back or complain about it but do feel they would have corrected themistake if I had. Dessert was a fantastic cheesecake with a blackberry compote on top, served over a layer of key limereduction. Our server Edwin was the bartender, however he was attentive and we did not lack for anything. We will definitely beback to try some of the other food options. Read more
Very cool decor and atmosphere. Food was a little heavy on oil but still delicious (I had salmon). Was also tempted by the... cookie sundae which was massive and split with two people next to me at the bar. I was comfortable eating solo here and woulddefinitely go back for the good vibe! Probably not the best place if you are looking for something super healthy…. Read more

Food is phenomenal. The restaurant is beautiful. The “New Fashioned” drink was unique with an orange and raspberry infused... ice cube. Service is lovely. Definitely one of the best places to eat in Bowling Green! Read more
Excellent all around. You might think country ham wantons don't sound good, but don't miss out - they are wonderful. We had Flat... iron steak, potatoes wedges, NY strip with scallops. All fantastic. The carrots were too spicy for my wife, but I enjoyed them.Be prepared to open your wallet. If you love a really good dining experience - this is the right place. Read more
I cannot speak highly enough about our meal and service. Our experience was amazing and the staff made it a perfect birthday for... my wife. Graham was our server and was absolutely amazing. He made great recommendations, had conversations with us and didthis for all his tables. The food was great. My wife even tried a brussel sprout. My steak was perfect and the old fashionswere great. The meal was pricey, but worth every penny. It was the type of restaurant and experience that makes you want tocome back and visit a place. Our server was even thoughtful enough to take a picture of the table and frame it for us. Simplegesture that topped the evening. We loved it. I am sad the evening had to end. Read more
Do not go if it is busy. We have gone before and it was not bad but there was no excuse for tonight. My wife wanted to eat here... for our anniversary, celebrating 5 years. Honestly after what we were served I would have rather eaten at Wendy’s. I havedined at many steak houses across the country. The steak I was served tonight I would not have given to my dog. I ordered thesteak medium, reasonable for a steak house because they normally undercook they steaks a bit. It was charred but cold and fleshyin the middle. I took two small bites and couldn’t do it, the steak was rare, honestly more than rare in the center. Iinformed the waiter it wasn’t right and he told me it would be taken back and corrected. After 10 minutes I was brought whatyou see in the picture I posted, the same steak just burnt. Yes it was closer to medium but by this time the outside was notcharred but burned. I tried my best to suffer through it but the taste of the burnt outer portion left a god awful taste in mymouth for the next hour. It was clear to me that nothing was going to be done after displaying my disgust so I payed and weleft. They steak you see in the picture cost me almost $60 alone. I have never been to another restaurant where the bill wasmore than $180 for two people and have been more disappointed. Honestly in bowling green go to Rafferty’s and get bettersteaks for a quarter of the price. Read more
