    First time here definitely won't be our last. Cheese curd appetizer was amazing! Then we got four different burgers between a Sasquatch Hawaiian rise and shine and elk burger. They were all so much food and great tasting! Also our server was great!

    Fried shrimp

    While visiting some friends they suggested Graff's Tavern and now I know why. The atmosphere was a casual sports bar with friendly staff. It wasn't too busy for a Wednesday afternoon so we got to sit anywhere we wanted. All of the menu options sounded really good but I opted for the fried jumbo shrimp with a side of their stingin honey garlic sauce and ranch. The shrimp were fried to perfection and the fries were crispy on the outside. Two people could have easily ate off of this one dish. If I'm ever in this small town again it's a must that I stop in.

    Eric at the bar was awesome makes a killer red beer with pickle juice, came in on the struggle bus left feeling like a champ thanks Eric! Wish i had an appetite the food smelled great and the jumbo shrimp looked to be quite jumbo ;) Go grab a drink from Graff's and catch the games while you're at it.

    Great local spot that's a sports bar, tavern and family friendly restaurant all in one. Service was great, a few fun video games, loads of tvs and sports memorabilia. We shared fried pickles to start and they were yummy. Our burgers were outstanding and cooked to perfection. Only negative was they didn't carry Coke products. Regardless, I would absolutely recommend!

    Ugly Dog Pub was one of my favorite places I visited in Highlands. The food was amazing, the smash…read moreburger definitely lived up to the hype, and the beer selection was great. The live music was an awesome touch and made for a fun atmosphere. I was able to bring my pup since I sat outside, which was a huge plus. Just keep in mind that if you're dining on the patio, the service is more limited, you order and pay at the bar, and they'll bring your food out to you. Overall, this is a must-visit if you're in Highlands, North Carolina, especially if you're a fan of great burgers, good beer, and a laid-back atmosphere.

    We were seated right away. A little annoyed that our party of 5 was seated at a small corner booth…read moretable. Ended up using the back of the booth for our water bottle and condiments and still struggled for space. Buffalo wings were good but not exactly Buffalo. No buttery spicy hot sauce. It was more peppery than buffalo. Wings were cooked perfectly though Reuben is excellent as are the jalapeno Mac bites. Cheese dip was also excellent but we (and the table next to us) had to ask for more chips. Not portioned terribly well. Beer options were very slim (2 on tap from what it gathered). I'm sure there were plenty of bottled options but draft was disappointing. We ordered the ale but they tapped out and brought us brown ale. At 5pm...only a brown and stout on tap. Overall, it was a pretty middling experience but the food was good and they offer a military appreciation discount.

I came alone and sometimes as a solo female at a bar you feel uncomfortable but bartender made me feel welcome from the start. I ordered a Chicago beef sandwich. It was adequate...Mediocre.... When I think of a Chicago beef sandwich the first thing I think of is pepperoncini and/or au jus but it had neither. But it was decent, kind of like a thing you might grab & go on the road somewhere.... edible but you're not thinking about it afterwards. The sandwiches come with french fries but I got the Greek pasta salad instead. I should've got the french fries because I paid $2 up charge for weak pasta salad. But the reason I'm still giving it 4 stars was that it's a nice local bar. Clientele chatty. My bartender was very cool. I didn't get his name (young,blond, skater type) friendly, welcoming. If you're looking to have some drinks with friends and play pool, I think it's a perfect place, but have dinner first before you get here.

We could walk here if we wanted and we are big fans of that. We came in when they had first opened so they were still figuring things out which I completely understand plus the hurricane coming through recently did help either. Looking over the menu they have a lot of your typical bar/pub options but a few you don't always find too. Looking for the drinks I was able to find my classic for Sylva but with a new name this time. At the Junction Pub it goes by the Loose Caboose which is a shot (for me Whiskey of course) and a beer which I picked Busch Light. You can't beat it. Our waitress brought our drinks and we ordered. I ended up going with the wings (12) tossed in Honey Sriracha. Our food came out pretty quickly which was nice. The sauce for the wings was good. Spicy with a nice sweetness but not overly sweet which can sometimes happen. For sure still had the kick I wanted. The wings for the most part were good. Cooked perfectly and nice and crispy. I will say I few of them were on the smaller side but you also got some monsters too to even it out. The service was excellent, and our waitress was extremely friendly and help us with questions throughout our meal. For sure a nice local pub we will be coming to often.
