This is my new fave place for friendly, informal dining and/or a beer or cocktail.

Try it out! Tonight's fare included a perfectly prepared Classic Burger and a side of fries, expertly cooked by chef Joe and served by LiLi. Thanks for another great visit. See you soon!

My buddy and I ordered some pretty basic food items that at the 1 hour mark we asked if they could cancel our order. We ordered a quesadilla and a buffalo chicken wrap. At the 45 minute wait time I asked about it and was told it would be out soon and 15 minutes later I saw the cook grabbing things from the fridge to make our order. Maybe I'm being irrational but I don't think our order should have taken an hour to even start being prepared. When I canceled the order one of the owners was at the bar and didn't even apologize but brought out our fries and gave them to another set of locals at the bar... really c'mon man learn to deal with customer and resolve issues.

The brewery offers a variety of food options, including the amazing flatbread pizza that is attached to this post. The service was very quick and attentive, and the staff was friendly and helpful. Parking was easy and close, which made the experience even more enjoyable. We were able to find a spot without any hassle in a lot attached to the building. Overall, I highly recommend The Highlander for anyone who loves good food and drinks or wants to try something new. It is a great place to enjoy a meal with friends, and the prices are reasonable for the quality and quantity of food. I will definitely go back soon.

Off the top maybe 5-6 tables and a bar that holds 10-12 people if I was guessing. Multiple TVs playing all sports. Keno, Jukebox also available. Nice neighborhood bar. Staff were very friendly even though they were busy. As for the food, I ordered mozzarella sticks, a hot Italian sub with tater tots. The cheese sticks were bad. Tiny, lukewarm and not much flavoring. Marinara dipping sauce was bland as well. Now for the sub. Unreal Italian Sub. The tots were crispy and salted. The sub was AMAZING... repeat AMAZING. Served with Italian dressing, on a toasted roll. Banana peppers, onion, tomato, with multiple meats and cheeses. Definitely a bar favorite as I saw many people eating the same dish. It's worth a visit or a try if you're in the area. The big positive of this place was the prices. $2.50 a beer and $10 for that sub. My tab was low so that's always a good thing. I would go back to this place however it might be tough sometimes if the bar gets pizza. In the plaza it sits next to a pizza place that I was told you can order the pizza from the bar and they have a window to slide the food through. I didn't try the pizza so I won't review that place. Overall, a 7.1 out of 10 with everything included.

I want them to be crispy on the outside with a mouthful of chicken in each bite and they were just that. The lemon pepper sauce was very salty, but I love salt and vinegar chips so I was prepared. This is your typical Irish bar - long bar with 8-10 rectangle tables. We sat at the bar and our bartender/server was very friendly and helpful.

You won't even be able to stand. As for my other visit, it was on a Friday night. A nice sized crowd, full bar. Sports game on the television. A nice atmosphere for a neighborhood bar. A great touch is the 1 pinball machine in the corner. Older game but it does take up something to do with friends. As with service we were told that the bar is extremely behind by a rude bartender named Meg. You can tell she was overwhelmed and just seemed to be having a rough day. A few minutes later we were told by staff that the kitchen was now closed. Pretty strange as the menu is mainly all bar served fried food or burgers etc. The bartender also announced that they were out of fish as well. I continued to order drinks, they were cold and tasted as advertised. About an hour or so later , the kitchen was then re opened when the bar was less crowded. I order a dozen wings, garlic Parmesan with ranch. The wings were real solid. Nice and crispy and the garlic and parm combo was just enough. The basket of fries we got were average fries. Not crispy, nor salty but atleast they were hot. The prices were about average, no complaints about that. Overall, the bar does not seem to handle stress or large crowds very well. My wings were good, fries were average like I said. My friends attend this bar often and did tell me that this bar is not like this usually. May have been a rough day. I assume I will be back again, I wouldn't pick this place to go to but the location is close enough to the area we hang out. Not so much of any certain type of theme at the bar but I did notice the staff recognize many patrons by name so it will continue to be the neighborhood bar for many. Overall a 6.7 out of 10.

Super fresh piping hot lightly crispy tendies with your choice of dipping sauce. There was something wrong with the black garlic aioli. It was sour. Like bitter almost. Like too much garlic plus something else like citric acid or spoiling. Really bad. I never abandon sauce but I could not stomach their really bad aioli.

My wife and I met up with a college friend here, and it ended up being the ideal spot to catch up. The prices are super reasonable for a college budget, and having a cool hangout within walking distance of campus is a huge plus. The food hit the spot across the board: JCU Nachos: Our friend ordered these, and I stole a few bites--absolutely perfect. Bologna Sandwich: Good overall flavor, though our friend mentioned she wished the bologna slices were cut a bit thicker. Smash Burger & Garlic Parm Wings: My wife and I got these for our meals, and both were amazing. The burger was cooked to perfection, and the garlic parm wings were packed with flavor. Great vibes, great prices, and a fantastic addition for JCU students and alumni alike. We'll definitely be back!
