Paul & Diana at The Fix
Diana P.

Food, Service, Atmosphere all very good We went on Father's Day. A lil disappointed we were too early for mimosas. I think bar opened at 1 pm and we were there at 11 am. Looking forward to coming back in the evening time as well

Shanghai Pork Shanks

Once again this place did not disappoint. Everything I ever get is always amazing but especially these Shanghai pork shanks!

Onion Petals
Aaron H.

So we started with a mishap online when we tried to order. Our online order went through and our card was charged, but then TOAST texted us that it didn't go through. We called the restaurant and was told they don't actually do online orders. Confused we decided to just go in instead and order since we were only a couple minutes away. Once we got there they found the order and confirmed the payment went through on their side as well. But to our surprise they had outside seating and were dog friendly so we decided to just eat there instead. They were very nice and and sat the three of us and our two dogs outside. They brought out a dog bowl and quickly we had our appetizer of onion petals and onion ring sauce. These things blow away the bloomin' onion from that big name restaurant. We got the half order and regretted that we didn't get the big order. Delicious Wife got the loaded fries and added steak to it. It was delicious. Me and my daughter got burgers just the way we wanted it and they were very filling and cooked fantastic. Perfect for our last night in the area while exploring the mountains.

Bread pudding
Morgan D.

The staff and customers are so friendly! The bar is small, but the food and drink offering is extensive. My only complaint is wishing they were open for lunch, as I didn't have the opportunity to try all the interesting plates. The bread pudding is a MUST, and paired with their surprising wine by the glass options, makes for a perfect nightcap.

The food was excellent and the service was quick. Even though at the time they were understaffed for rush of foot traffic

We saw they had food too, mostly tapas style; but pretty extensive, so we ordered a few appetizers to share as well. We ordered the edamame which had truffle salt and soy sauce spices. It was a little messy, but really good, and a great deal at $7. We also ordered the bacon-wrapped scallops, ($15). There was a sweet Thai bourbon sauce on those; and the reviews were mixed. My sister thought they were too sweet and my daughter's boyfriend and my husband thought they were delicious! Although they do have a full bar; we only ordered beer & wine. The two wines ordered at the table were Old Soul Pinot Noir and a Sauvignon Blanc. Again prices were good at $7. Three of us had beer; Miller Lite & Michelob Ultra for just a few bucks each. Our visit was at 5:30 on a Friday and the place was just starting to fill up. They had limited seating due to the covid pandemic and there were tables, high tops, the bar area plus a patio. It was chilly on our visit, but there was a group on the patio taking advantage of the cool weather with the tower heater. There only appeared to be 2 employees out front; the bartender & one server.....they both did their best to keep up with orders as the place became busier and busier. I really liked this place & it has a great location right on the main highway. The prices were good and there were many options for eating and drinking with very affordable prices.

Those were bomb! My favorite cocktail was the Italian Spritz. It was so light and just a nice refreshing drink for the afternoon. Service was average. Nothing terrible or great. You can tell they get pretty busy each day. What I really loved was all of the photos of dogs framed on the walls! It was fun to see all the different pups that had been added over the years

Be sure to visit Ugly Dog while you're in Highlands. I think you'll like it.

Four of us grabbed spots at the bar, ordered Aperol Spritzes, and immediately settled in. We shared the salad and the veggie pizza, and on our waitress's advice added pepperoni--and wow, was that the right move. This pizza is the real deal: incredible color, a perfectly crisp, crunchy crust, and layers of flavor that genuinely blew us away. I make pizza at home (yes, with an Ooni), and this is the kind of pie that makes you pause mid‑bite and say, "Okay... they know what they're doing." Not floppy, not overdone--just expertly made and insanely satisfying. The atmosphere sealed the deal. Sitting at the bar felt fun and communal, with friendly locals, fellow visitors, and staff all contributing to the vibe. It was welcoming, lively, and exactly the energy you want when you first roll into town. Phenomenal pizza, great drinks, and a spot that understands hospitality. We'd come back for the pizza alone--but everything else made it even better.

Apparently we were very unlucky when it came to bar seating this trip We ordered the burrata to start. It was fresh and absolutely delicious. But our Hot Pig pizza seemed to miss the mark. The sauce that was drizzled on top didn't seem to add anything to the dish. It just kind of fell flat after such a delicious start. We finished off with a bit of gelato which was also super yummy! And the coffee was wonderful but it was served so hot that we had to wait a while before even being able to sip it. Overall it was a good dinner, we just wished we had gone with a different pizza

It was a Tuesday night, which turned out to be wing night with wings that were a reasonable price. I also went for the fish and chips, which were fair. The wings were quite tasty, and they have a decent variety of sauce flavors to choose from which is a good thing. I also went for the street corn, which was excellent. We were sitting out on the porch, and the weather was good. Noise was kept to a minimum so we were able to talk without having to shout, which I consider to always be a good thing. The food was good, our wait staff were decent, and we were very happy with our experience. If we are in the area again, we would certainly return.

We asked for more napkins, which never came. My wife mentioned the cold fries and she was brought another serving of equally cold fries. When we were finished, I asked the server for a couple to go boxes. We received one and had to ask for more; eventually getting one more box. It took an additional 10 minutes to get the check, and another 10 to have it retrieved with the credit card. The neighboring table was also dealing with cold fries.
