Hickory Knob Restaurant
About This Spot
Hickory Knob Restaurant welcomes you with a relaxed, easygoing charm that perfectly complements its scenic South Carolina setting. Nestled within the rhythm of McCormick’s peaceful resort landscape, this spot feels like a comforting pause—a place where the pace slows just enough to savor simple pleasures and casual conversations.
Inside, the atmosphere carries a gentle warmth, inviting families and friends to gather around hearty, unpretentious meals. The hum of quiet chatter blends with the clinking of cutlery, shaping an environment that’s neither rushed nor fussy. Whether it’s a sunny morning or a quiet evening, the mood here is familiar and unpretentious, a true reflection of the community spirit that thrives just outside the door.
The menu echoes this welcoming attitude with dishes that feel thoughtfully crafted yet unfailingly approachable. Imagine sitting down to a plate piled with a generous sandwich or a slice of pizza that’s rich with layers and flavor, all in the comfort of a space that feels more like a communal dining room than a commercial eatery. From satisfying biscuits and breakfast offerings to shareable appetizers and comfort foods, there’s a reassuring sense that each meal is meant to be savored slowly—perhaps alongside a steaming cup of coffee or after a day spent exploring nearby trails.
Staff members here add to the experience with genuine attentiveness, often noticing the small details that turn a simple lunch or dinner into a comforting memory. It’s this subtle care that deepens the feeling of being welcomed—an important ingredient that keeps visitors coming back, whether for a spontaneous stopover or a longer stay at the resort.

The service was not all that great, but I'm sure it gets better and we just came at a bad time. It wasn't rude service, just slow and not really paying much attention. If you come here, you've got to get something off the menu. The burger I got was very large and it tasted awesome. I was surprised by how good the food was, as this was a restaurant in the middle of a state park! It was odd, but I'm glad the food was so good. Also pretty affordable. But the buffet is not affordable, so I recommend menu items.

Food was amazing and only over shadowed by the service. One lady overheard one of our guys say the soup could only be better with cornbread. She stopped and said I'll make you some and she did. We ate there 4 meals and all were delicious.
