Big Hickory Seafood Grille

According to a post by the owner on the Nextdoor app, they are closing permanently January 9, 2023. Very sad, we enjoyed this restaurant. Seems there were too many obstacles to overcome.

Closed due to Hurricane damage and water Surge. Owners lost the restaurant, marina and office building including their own home and rentals on Hickory Island.

The restaurant sits back a bit off of Hickory Blvd. making it a little difficult to see but I am glad we found it. Peaceful waterfront dining with the best food we had all week.

I want to say first that I stayed next door to this restaurant and it was access. If the food wasn’t good, I would say so. I come down most years around the 2nd or third week in September and many times they are closed for the season. I’m glad they were open this year. I had the coconut shrimp one night and the Grouper tacos another night. Both were very good. They also had a choice of IPAs, so I was happy. I think I’m going to try their lunch one day, it seems like quite a bargain.

Delicious food. Our waitress was very friendly and made us feel welcome and comfortable. She was also very knowledgeable of the menu. My crab stuffed grouper was delicious and packed with crab. They have the best sweet potato fries we’ve ever eaten. Great experience dining here.
