This restaurant was very highly recommended by the locals, but I found it just OK. My food was average but my friend enjoyed hers very much. Bread not provided and they made a deal out of bringing us some -- when they did it was very good bread. Fun location downtown. Maybe I just hit an off night because the... More

So here's the deal. Great food. Great service. Priced right. Need you know more? Yes ... OK. The mussels were the best, soup (lamb and barley) tasty and not greasy, grilled chicken with artichoke hearts was out of this world. If you are in or near Hickory, NC make sure you get here.

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

Been to Josh's several times. Always excellent food and service. Good wines. Go early sit near the front window and people watch.

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.
