One of our group of friends really like this restaurant due to their accommodations of larger groups. This time, there were only 6 of us so we were sat at a large round table - perfect for conversation. I ordered my go-to Panko Crusted Feta for an appetizer and then ordered the Chicken Parmesan without sauce for my entree and a Pink Mule to drink. The mule was very flavorful - you can't tell it's got liquor, which is dangerous! The feta was phenomenal, as usual, and the chicken was good. Their entrees include choice of soup or salad and their famous breadsticks, on which I always fill up. The breadsticks arrived first and they were piping hot. They are garlicky and salty and perfectly cooked. I chose the Lemon Chicken and Rice Soup, which was very good. I was full before the feta appetizer arrived! The feta never disappoints so when I got my entree, I was full. I had a few bites and had them box it up. It wasn't my favorite option - I usually like their salads but I'm still off lettuce for a while longer. I know we will be back - we really like this restaurant! read more

After an nice hike at Highland Rec. Area we had an opportunity to make our first visit to the Highland House and were very pleased! We arrived around 2:30 on a Sunday and only had to wait a few minutes for a patio table. It was a perfect day to be in the patio but the fact that they have garage door type of windows also makes it even more open and gives you the feeling of being outside. The Highland House is part of a restaurant group so if you've been to one, you kind of know what to expect. They have fantastic bread sticks and if you don't try them with the garlic cream cheese spread you are certainly missing out! The food is always delicious and the portions typically allow you to bring a little home to enjoy later. our server in this day was very friendly and took decent care of us. We look forward to a return visit in the not too distant future! read more

Very nice spot! Food is good and tasty. Always a pleasure dining here, to-go is awesome too!

Food was good. The service was absolutely horrible. I asked a manager for our bill when we had waited 15 minutes after finishing our meal. He disappeared and did not return. About 10 minutes later we were finally able to pay and leave. Our waiter would disappear for long periods of time without checking on us. We have gone there 3 times in 3 years. We will not return. read more

Ordered what I thought was a great summer chicken salad. However when a restaurant can't even get a salad right. My husband and I took the salad core from both our salads and stacked them on another plate. No greens just iceberg core and some iceberg lettuce. Also very little chicken in the chicken salad. Very little of anything really. The breadsticks were good but come on, who in the kitchen can't make a salad? Not impressed and won't be going back. read more

I would have given this 5 stars, but... my biggest complaint is that there was a lot of waitstaff chatter - so much so that sometimes when they walked in groups of 3 or more by our table we had to stop our conversation because they were so loud. I don't know if something was going on or what but it was noticeable that they were the loudest people in the restaurant. Food was fantastic. The breadsticks with garlic cheese spread and then dunked into the roasted cauliflower soup - superb bite! The chicken spanakopita was very flavourful. And the ribs, as always, were fall off the bone tender. read more

One of our Go-To Local Italian restaurants. When you walk in, the Italian food smell is amazing. We were seated quickly and our server was very prompt in taking our order. We had the LuLu's Chicken, Veal Parm and Coconut Shrimp and they did not disappoint. All the food was very good and bread sticks slathered with butter are AWESOME! Of course we will be back. read more

As soon as you walk in the vibe is very cozy and it has a very comforting smell. Our server was very sweet and was answering any question we had. The breadsticks are fluffy and we got cream cheese dip for them. It was hard not to fill up on that. The people I went with got ribs and Alfredo which they both loved. I got the spicy chicken sandwich, I thought the chicken on it was really good but the spiciness comes from just putting some Frank's on it so I wasn't a big fan. Would come again and try something else. read more

I have been here many times to eat and was never disappointed. Love those bread sticks!!! I usually get the fish dinner. Always good.

Best Liver and onions anywhere in Michigan. That's the only thing we come here for about 2 times a year. The ambiance is way too modern after they remodel but it's nice. Service is always friendly and good. We have been going here for 30 plus years. Any place that has lasted this long must be good. Give it a try if you're in the area. read more

Absolutely the best food, service at a fair price. Love the updated atmosphere. So cosmopolitan and current!

Good food at a fair price. For our first meal here we ended up getting the Margarita pizza and Greek salad with gratis house bread sticks. The Margarita pizza was well baked with the thin crust nicely browned all over. The tomato sauce, Mozzarella cheese and Basil toppings complemented each other very nicely and made for a vary flavorful pizza. The one small gripe I had is that the pizza could have used a bit more Basil as this is such a key ingredient for this style of pizza. Relative to the salad and bread sticks they were both quite good where a small salad was enough for me and wife to share. For drinks we ended up getting a Long Island ice tea and an Old Fashion with Woodford Reserve bourbon. The drinks were definately a tad on the stronger side, which I personally like, where the Old Fashion could have used just a tad bit more sweetness (syrup from cherry bottle always is good choice or simple syrup) to add a bit more balance to the drink. Having said that it was still a well made tasty drink. Relative to facility and staff, the restaurant has a large footprint with plenty of seating and a casual dining environment. The staff and in particular our waitress, was super friendly and very attentive to our needs where she personally added a lot to our dining experience. Definitely appears to be a strength of the business. Overall I was quite pleased with our first experience here where if you are looking for a good pizza that is a large step up from the many chain restaurants in the area than this is a place you should check out. read more

Best bread sticks & salad . Love the cauliflower steak . They had an easy carrot section and broasted chicken is good as well

This place has been a long established restaurant. I remember as a young teen coming here with my family when they first opened up. They were the first in the area to have a salad bar which was so unique back then. The breadsticks were always outstanding and what most of the kids really wanted to come back for. The food was delicious, so the restaurant grew and grew and grew. Now it is massive compared to what it was, open air lots of room. Good place for groups together however, or waiter did the best that he could with a group of 17 so I'm not discounting him at all. He made sure all of us had drinks he made sure that everyone's checks went to the right people definitely you could tell that we weren't his first large group. Quality of the food. I was very disappointed actually this place used to have such a high standard and as I look around at all of the choices that were coming out and of course talking amongst ourselves, the quality just wasn't what it used to be. My ribs were grisly and overcooked, the fish was over battered, the lasagna which used to be outstanding here was a mess on the plate. My niece said it tasted good but I don't know if she was just being kind. I would hope to think that maybe it was because it was a large group and it was a busy day so I'm not going to not give this place a second chance. I will go back one day with a smaller group and see if I can get that old fashioned feeling of good cooking and ambience back. read more

The service was great! Meals were great.. servings were plentiful enough for left overs!

How would you feel if you asked the waitress for a simple BLT and fries...and when the bill came found out they charged you $15! Turns out she just rang up their "gourmet" turkey sandwich with the turkey, guac, and other extras taken off, but still charged full price....wow! ...and it was awful! How do you screw-up a BLT??? (chewy bland bacon, slimy tomato, and soggy toast...plus I had to put the mayo on it from a bottle) Plus, their fries were beyond just "greasy"...they were dripping...and surprisingly flavorless....no spice or seasoning...just oily. We have gone here several times...trying different things each time looking for something good...have not found it...bland, mediocre food at a higher price than it is worth. Plus, the attitude there is really giving off this bad vibe....you are greeted at the hostess desk but 3 girls who look like they don't want to be there....and manager who is looking for an argument...and I don't know what is happening with the men in there...everyone seems to be stoned or has an attitude towards everyone. Will not be going back....that was enough disappointment for us....we tried. read more

Takes a very long time to give food out to tables otherwise an amazing experience and great place to eat

Food is good. Staff are nice. The bar seating gets busy and it takes awhile for them to ask for your food order. Best breadsticks ever!

The salad and breadsticks are "to die for"! Have been eating here since I was a kid. The restaurant redo is so nice. Totally worth the 45 minute drive every time. read more

Spaghetti had no meat in meat sauce, no flavoring either. Classic 8oz hamburger had no flavoring. At all. Fries were very good. Breadsticks were very good but for $55 with tip We wont be back. Service by Sam was excellent. Dirty blond beer was ok. Strawberry daiquiri was very good read more

I'm not from Michigan, but locals said Highland house was the place to go. They were right. The restaurant was rebuilt within the last 5 years. It's open & airy. Large & comfortable. The breadsticks. EVERYONE said they were the best. They are very good, and a basket comes with your meal (or you can buy a basket for $7). The side salads. Huge! A side salad could easily serve 2 or 3. The entries. I had the chicken spanakopita- so delicious. My husband had the filet. Very good too, however he ordered it well done & should have opted for medium-well. The beers. Lots of choices of local/midwestern ones on tap. I had a Michigan peach cider that was delicious. The service. Wonderful. read more

Previous to last night I would have said everyone should go to Highland House, but having went last night and not having drinkable water was awful. The server rudely told us he gets comments every night and didn't offer any explanation except "it's well water and I drink it." The water smelled like sulfur so badly I couldn't keep it at the table let alone have it near my nose to drink. I asked about it as we left and the hostess said she brings her own water from home and that they have a Britta in the back for water for servers. I can't conceive a restaurant not having drinkable water. The friends we were with said it likely indicates a problem with their well. The hostess also indicated to me it is getting worse. This needs to be fixed. read more

We drove over from Pontiac when we had a few hours to kill and couldn't find very many options near the airport. We got there just after 5pm on a Saturday with hopes of beating the rush but we were shocked with how busy it was. The wait was already 45 minutes and there was a line out the door. We eventually got a table but our server wasn't great. He stopped by our table 3 times. To take our order, bring our food, and bring our bill. He was pretty awkward and all of our interactions were rather uncomfortable. I went with the fish and chips with fries and a Greek salad. The salad was massive and way more than I needed for a side. The fish was very good and cooked perfectly. The fries were crispy but just your average bar fries. Everyone here is obsessed with the breadsticks and they were pretty good. We ordered a basket of them to start but I felt the garlic dipping sauce was slightly overrated. Overall, cool atmosphere with a massive dining room and bar. The menu has a lot of options and we enjoyed our meals. The hostess stand was chaotic and our server wasn't that great. read more

I went into the evening thinking this was going to be an amazing experience and it was more of a "Meh..." so let me elaborate. Highland House, when I was a child, was THE place to eat in the area. We went with cousins and I have many memories of great meals there. I haven't eaten there since I was a child so I assumed that it was still great. We had take-out. This was supposed to be our Valentine's Day meal since we were both out of town on the 14th. We ordered two of the Kale Salad one with blackened salmon and the other with chicken. The salads were only okay. The kale was tough as nails and needn't have been. If it had been soaked it would have been tender. The salmon was very tasty. The Cauliflower Steak was served on uncooked - not kidding - lentils. I love lentils. Not these. It was a disaster. At this point I wouldn't darken the door of Highland House if I were paid to return. But, that's me. I'm so bummed. read more

We had a 4:00 pm reservation for 11 for our dad's birthday. We were seated immediately and greeted by the server for drink orders right away. Our parents had the day wrong and ended up showing up 1 1/2 hours later. We felt awful taking a table for so long, but our server Monica was amazingly patient and kept our drink orders flowing. The food was very good and plentiful. Most of us left with takeout containers. We used to visit the Highland House many years ago, the building and atmosphere is welcoming and clean. read more

A few years ago, I came here for the first time and ordered a Caesar salad, which was basically just a few pieces of lettuce swimming in way too much dressing. It was the sole reason we hadn't dined here in a long time. Despite the breadsticks being something to romanticize about, that salad kept me away. Earlier this year my husband and I found ourselves hangry and in need of a quick meal with a cocktail and Highland House was one of our only options open at the time. We ordered some drinks and sat out on the patio to enjoy the warm Spring air. When you get a good sunny spot out there, it's so nice! My soup & salad lunch (Caesar + Minestrone) was delightful -- perfect portion size! I cleaned my plate! Another dish that hits the mark is the Cauliflower Steak. It's bright and savory, and satisfies the palate the same way a meat dish would. Great vegetarian choice if you're looking for something light and healthy. My favorite pick as of last week is the Super Food Salad. It's fresh, sweet, and full of flavor; something I will now crave forever! My husband usually gets a sandwich or pasta dish, and always raves about it. There is an extensive selection of interesting cocktails and the bartenders seem to get it right every time. Try the "Whale Hello There," it's perfectly light and similar to a classic margarita, but made with gin. Even if you hit this place up just for the breadsticks, don't forget to add on the garlic cream cheese dip.. it will change your life! Make it a point to stop by if you're in the area. The restaurant is huge and the menu has something for everyone. It's a great place to take your family, or to share an intimate meal just for two! read more

Just landed in Michigan for my niece's baby shower and was hungry for dinner so my brother in law took us to Highland House. We were greeted with a smile from the hostess and seated. Our server, Nikki, was an absolute sweetheart. She was bubbly and friendly and brought us a basket of breadsticks as she greeted us. OMG!! These are the bomb!! A little bit of crunch on the outside soft inside and just the right amount of salt. I ordered the chicken wings which are baked by the way and a small Greek salad. The chicken wings were absolutely delicious and came out piping hot. I loved that the flats were attached to the little drumsticks. They have a tasty dry rub and are very meaty. The salad was fresh and a large portion for a small salad. A great menu, diverse, something for everyone. read more

I came here to meet and eat with fellow yelper Sara, and we both had a really good time. I've never been here before since it's a bit out of my range, but it was a nice halfway point for us to meet at, and I'm so glad we did! Walking in, the place is a very large space with ample seating and has a really nice warm and welcoming environment. We were seated immediately and our server brought us our menus. They have plenty of good food here for just about anyone, so it took us a few minutes to decide what to get. I went with a regular hamburger and Sara went with the impossible burger. Both came out as ordered, the food was delicious! My hamburger was fabulous and the fries were so good. Overall a really nice place to go and dine at, whether it's with a friend, family or a date, I can see myself returning here in a heartbeat. Price averages about $15 a person, and I don't think they serve booze, but that's ok. read more
