Hickory Street Cafe

This is such a great lunch spot! Went with a friend, and we both ordered the same thing. The Salad Sampler with Maple Vinaigrette. It came with their very popular chicken salad, a pasta salad with chicken, and a garden salad. It also came with 2 pieces of zucchini bread. I liked the pasta salad with chicken. It was tangy, and the chicken had good texture but not really any flavor.
The chicken salad was a flavor bomb in your mouth! Wow! Awesome flavor. BUT I got WAY too many fatty, rubbery, grisly pieces to be able to thoroughly enjoy it, which was a bummer. But I did eat the pieces that I could tell would have a good texture.
I ordered their vegetable of the day quiche, to go, which was a broccoli mushroom. It was delicious! I also ordered a bowl of broccoli parmesan soup to go and did not like the texture of this soup at all, but the flavor was very good! It was goopy. Reminded me of paper mache glue.
The raspberry iced tea was very good. It's not too sweet, very refreshing.
I will go back because it's a nice spot for lunch. But I will definitely try other things or maybe stick with the quiche!

A little disappointed. Have always loved the chicken salad. They have changed it a little and while it's still good it isn't a good. Also missed the lettuce leaf, orange and cucumber twist and the cashews. Zucchini bread was excellent as always and the staff friendly like usual.

Great place for a wonderful lunch. We each had a different sandwich & ended with the peanut butter pie. We all loved what we ordered. The staff are very friendly & knowledgeable. Will have tonplan a stop here next time we pass thru during the week. Beautiful old home, makes you feel like you walked back into grandma's house.

This place isn’t worth it: one, they are out of everything. Tried the BLT, no bacon, Tried the taco salad, they don’t make that anymore. I ordered from the takeout window, the wait was a good 30 mins with no food. I requested to wait inside and maybe eat inside. They declined. They said if you paid outside, you cannot eat inside their establishment. Made me wonder if prices are cheaper at the window. But they are not. They are very disorganised, you have to pull someone and ask for directions. If this is what Abilene considers top of the line, they can keep it. My rating is purely on Service. Then the sandwich came after 45 minutes. Total waste of my time. The only thing that can make sense of this bad service is if the business is under new ownership.

Excellent Taco Salad and cheesecake. Fresh ingredients and made with obvious care. I absolutely love this place!!! A lot of parking available. Very cute location!!

Really good light lunch. Their banana bread is really good. Moist, dark, uummm, and really good with cream cheese. The most popular thing is the chicken salad but today I had a salad, cup of broccoli soup, and broccoli quiche. The only thing I can think of to say negative is the tables are a little close. Obviously not a big deal. It sits on a nice old house they remodeled and decorated. Really great staff that will do anything for you.

We were on a roadtrip; just want to have something nice and simple for lunch. Well, Hickory Street Cafe far exceeded our expectations! Highly recommend chicken salad.

Small and quiet with seating placed comfortably apart so you can have a private conversation this place is a "must do" if you are in Abilene over lunch. A small but well executed menu of soups, sandwiches and salads along with tasty deserts makes this a perfect lunch spot. The food is always fresh, well executed and super tasty. DO NOT MISS THE ZUCCHINI BREAD. It is amazing.

The ambiance of this place is fantastic. It's more like something you would expect in fort Worth or dallas. From the liver pate to the dessert it was all fantastic. We had the Portobello ravioli and the cod. Both were very good and the wine was great.
