Kyla MartinSeptember 10, 2017Our waiter suggested the Grouper special of the night, & holy cow. Pesto-based seasonal grilled veggies, seared scallops, & glazed grouper over a bed of seasoned (to perfection) rice! Agh! Delicious!
Lee LibroJune 11, 2012A little off of Main Street and all the better for it. Very comfortable, welcoming staff, comfy couch at the back and free wifi!
Adam SmithNovember 22, 2014This place was great. Awesome beer selection. I would recommend onion rings for app
Joseph DzialoOctober 5, 2021It’s the “go to” pub in Highlands. Great staff. Great bar food and cocktails.
Daniel RogersMay 10, 2014Sour kraut and 1000 island dressing hot dog is phenomenal with coleslaw on the side. Service is great.
Wiley MarshallMarch 13, 2016Best French fries in all of Highlands & maybe the world. Also, Tyler, the bar back, is a 10!
Bobby SpenceFebruary 27, 2011Best drink in Wnc! Best atmosphere. The most caring, open, truly awesome crowd. You feel at home 5 minuets after walking in the door. ;~}
The wings & ugly dog dip are fantastic! Not forgetting the drinks. Great local brews!
Kelly WilliamsDecember 23, 2019First time, had a burger and a flatbread. Burger was good, fries were over cooked. Pizza was different, looked like they just threw a piece of dough down and topped it with cheese. No employees smiled
Best bloody marys in town!!! Amazing service!!!!!! Locally recommended!!!!
KevinMay 26, 2013Avoid the Sunday afternoon crowd. The service drops off a cliff when it gets busy. :(
Diana RicketsonJanuary 14, 2012Worst service-table beside us waited an hour we waited 45 minutes. Food is really good though. Wait until they expand their kitchen.

"cacio e pepe is out of this world. Try and sit at the chefs table so you can watch the Chef's crank out all the food. Stuffed squash blossoms were amazing as well."
