Crescent Moon Cafe is a great budget-friendly restaurant in Downtown Hickory. We tend to go around lunchtime during the workweek. They have a great staff that takes care of you promptly, respecting a person's lunch hour. The food is phenomenal as well. Highly recommend trying the Cresent Moon Sandwich!

This place has it all: food is yummy and original, service is fast, friendly and knowledgeable, atmosphere is great, and their selection of beers is spectacular. I have discovered a local variety that has become my new favorite!

Great little gem in downtown Hickory. A beer for every taste, and my homemade pimento cheese with prosciutto, fresh basil and a hint of jelly on ciabiata bread was divine. Homemade loaded baked potato salad was the perfect side. Walking distance from parking garage, discount theater, and performing arts center. I'll be back.

We stopped in for lunch on our way thru Hickory and were not disappointed. The service, food and atmosphere were just the vibe we hoped for. Not too crowded, clean, great healthy options on the menu… there was a pleasant feeling in there too, like a cool local hang out. We’ll make it back for sure!

Great elevated pub food and atmosphere. I had a tomato basil and turkey sandwich with a side of tomato basil soup with a 2.50 can of lager. Everything was great!

We eat here often. The food is high quality and delicious. Tonight, I had the spinach salad (spinach, orange segments, dried cranberries, candied walnuts, feta cheese) topped with sliced, grilled chicken breast and their house made fat-free raspberry vinaigrette. Great salad! Absolutely the best fat-free raspberry vinaigrette I’ve ever eaten. My husband had the black bean quesadilla with tortilla chips and salsa. This is one of our favorites! Great food, great atmosphere, and reasonable prices.

I am thoroughly impressed, and that almost never happens to me when it comes to food. I ordered the Creole bean burger before going to work today. As a vegan, it's sometimes difficult to find food and food that's actually tasty without all of the highly processed ingredients... in my opinion. I ordered it without tomato, sauce, and cheese. It was so good I immediately ordered another before I finished the first one. The burger was yum, not too salty, either. Huge bonus! I will absolutely be back soon for another.
