Hickory Tavern, Indian Land: Gathering Built to Last

Hickory Tavern has been a community staple since 1997, serving exceptional food, handcrafted drinks, and a welcoming atmosphere that keeps guests coming back. When it came time to expand and modernize, they needed a trusted restaurant construction partner to bring their vision to life.

From the sleek, modern bar area to the inviting dining spaces, every detail was built for efficiency and next-level hospitality.
