"In a small rural town in Ontario, dining options can be limited. Wanting to treat my daughter on her birthday, I stumbled upon Hickories while searching for restaurants in the Metcalfe area. The menu caught my eye, and the location on a golf course wasn't too far from her home. We chose to sit on the patio by the large oak tree. We were quickly greeted and ordered drinks before looking over the menu. The Wonton Crunchies Duo appetizer was a hit, although I thought the price was a bit high. The Asian coriander pork crunchies were delicious, while the buffalo chicken ones were forgettable. For my main course, I had the Roast Beef au jus with a garden salad, which was good but the beef could have been sliced thinner. My daughter's Pulled Pork Sammie with a garden salad was excellent, she said. To our delight, our server brought us two cakes for dessert: a scrumptious carrot cake with creamy icing and a chocolate cake, both compliments of Hickories—a thoughtful touch. I would definitely return, maybe for breakfast or brunch next time."
