Hickory Tavern, Indian Land: A Gathering Place 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.

Metrolina Builders delivered a full-scale restaurant buildout, crafting an 8,000-square-foot space designed for high-volume service, seamless kitchen flow, and guest comfort. From the sleek, modern bar area to the inviting dining spaces, every detail was built for efficiency and next-level hospitality.

This project showcases Metrolina Builders’ expertise in restaurant construction, delivering spaces that are built for performance, designed for experience, and engineered for long-term success.
