    My trip here was just fine! Average and fine. Felt so bad for the servers as they were obviously short staffed. They got our order wrong and fixed it right away though! Margaritas were fine but not strong at all. That jalapeño ranch in the chip trio was absolutely delicious and I continued to eat it with my meal.

    I was really excited to try Highland House for Mexican food to celebrate cinco de mayo. They have a big bar right at the entrance, however I was not a fan of the music, early 2010s pop, which took away from the mexican ambiance. We got margaritas and chips, salsa + jalapeno ranch (yes you have to pay for them). I got my margarita in a mug, which I was not too thrilled with, but the spicy mango habanero margarita was fantastic. We then got birria tacos which were dry and not super flavorful. The shrimp quesadilla was amazing, very cheesy and lots of shrimp. The staff was great, very nice and attentive, and we got our food very quick. We were in and out within an hour. Overall, I probably wouldn't go back unless I was craving a good spicy marg.

    Came in the middle of the afternoon on a Sunday and had outstanding service in the bar area even with a pretty busy bar. Server was attentive and friendly and didn't miss a thing. We were able to watch baseball and relax with alcoholic and non-alcoholic margaritas. The food arrived quickly and was very fresh. My Mexico City Shrimp truly surpassed my expectations (I've been here before and it's always good but this was different). It had a great balance of sweet corn cake with a moderate spice in the shrimp marinade. There were 6 healthy sized shrimp and the meal was filling and fairly priced. This may be my new favorite dish here, usurping the steak fajita bowl. It's never too loud in here to disrupt conversation even when it's busy, so this is always a good option for small groups or a meal with your favorite person.

    We had a nice time at the highland house! It's always great for big groups and birthdays. The outdoor area is fun to sit at as well. The food is pretty good, the nachos were my favorite! We had wonderful service as well.

    Had a great time at Highland House! We ordered the blackened shrimp bowl and the lobster & shrimp enchiladas--both were super flavorful and hit the spot. Service was solid, and the prices were reasonable for how tasty everything was as well as the portion sizes. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area and craving something delicious

    Fiesta Bowl

    Enjoyable food, friendly and quick table service and fun atmosphere make this place a great spot to stop in for great Mexican. First of all, the TOGO chips and salsa are a MUST. Their "famous chip seasoning" is famous for a reason. It's addicting! I would have totally been happy just having these as my meal. Instead, I ordered the seemingly bottomless Fajita Bowl with steak. The bowl was huge with a fair amount of steak, although I would have liked a little bit more. There was plenty of rice and beans as the base, and the onions and peppers were a classic compliment. The entire dish was well seasoned and very tasty, making it just as good next day. This is a fun spot with sizeable menu options, even offering non-alcoholic choices. No doubt a local favorite and go-to.

    I would have given them a 5 if we didn't wait forever at the hostess stand to be seated at our table and also when she sat us she crammed 8 people in a booth so there was no arm room to move. Other than that, our server JORDAN was on point. He was gracious and quick. I ordered a jalapeno margarita which was amazing. The chili lime quesadilla which was extremely delicious. They give you a lot of food. Their chips are seasoned and are some of the best I have had.

    Margaritas, service, and ambience are always great! However, the food this time was just okay for the price. The rice and beans were extremely plain, and the rice was a bit undercooked on this visit. This isn't my first time here -- I've been coming for years -- and I've found that some dishes are definitely better than others. Last night was my kids' first time; one ordered the Birria taco and the other got the cheeseburger (the one with the egg and bacon), but unfortunately neither of them enjoyed their meals.

    Happy early 81st birthday, my friend! May you have many more!

    Cinco de Mayo with a friend was fun at Highland House. We kept it simple with margaritas and appetizers but the service was good and the food was fabulous. We decided at the last minute to do drinks and apps for dinner. My friend hadn't been to Highland House before so I treated as an early 81st birthday since I'll be out of town on her big day. I always take her out for margaritas on her birthday so I did it early this year! We really enjoyed the food and drinks. We had fun watching people and talking about our community events. It was a great last minute celebration! The food was plentiful -- we both had leftovers! She enjoyed the Trio with salsa instead of the ranch and I ordered wings. We shared the apps between us. I had a frozen mango margarita and she had a frozen raspberry one. They were YUMMY! We both want to come back and try the fajitas. She loves fajitas. I've never had one. I sure hope they're good. She is a tough one to please. We don't call her the, "Spicy Taco" for nothing! The Highland House better be ready!

    Fajita Bowl

    Been here multiple times, it is a nice atmosphere but very eh food. Good portions though, many better Mexican places you can go to around. Food if you have no where else to go and the menu is nice with a lot of options. I got the fajita bowl this time which was pretty flavorless and had like almost no meat in it at all which was very disappointing. Usually the normal fajitas are solid just expensive.

    Dip trio
    Jessica J.

    We recently had a really nice time at Highland House! It was my first time visiting in ages, so I was excited to return. It was a last minute idea on a Friday night, so I was worried we might not get a table (four adults and three kids), but I forgot how massive this place is... so many tables! That being said, the place was super busy but we still got seated right away. I'm a big fan of their back patio. It's vast, and also really private, so it feels like you're in a little oasis back there. Especially with all of the colorful walls and chairs, the pergola-style overhangs, and fun music. We were quickly greeted by our very sweet server who grabbed us all waters, kids menus, and margaritas right away! For the kiddos, we ordered a quesadilla and chicken tenders right away for them to share. We wanted something to snack on ourselves, so our server recommended the dip trio - yum, just what we needed! Out came a basket of season tortilla chips paired with chunky guac, queso and a jalapeño ranch or sorts. It was a great app to have with the (massive) margaritas that came to the table. Let me tell ya, you get the bang for your buck with these, and they're so refreshing. Their food menu is massive, so I was having a tough time trying to decide. Tacos, enchiladas, burritos, fajitas, salads, sammies, burgers... you name it! Something about the fish tacos were speaking to me though so I went with with blackened Mahi Mahi. I have to admit, didn't love the fish itself. It was really pretty dry, so I was bummed! But loved the fresh avocado and cilantro-chipotle aioli on top. The plate came with plenty of other food on it, including a seasoned rice, nicely flavored corn, refried beans and cabbage. All of that had me satisfied! All in all, we'll no doubt return to this great north shore restaurant. It's great for families, a date night, or a meal with friends!

It was both savory and citrusy, a really nice compliment. We did have to order a side of bread with it, so that's one improvement the restaurant could make - bread is a necessity with a cheese dish! Next up we ordered their Mixed Greens Salad which was a perfect light & tangy salad with a little bit of sweetness. Highly recommend. Finally, we shared the seared walleye entree. I pretty much order fish everytime I come here because they cook it to perfection and it's something I can't make at home as easily. The walleye did not disappoint and was so flavorful and enough food for us to share. We ordered the perfect amount to split between the 2 of us. Can't wait to go back, keep up the good work!

Prime Rib came out medium rare to rare as requested and was okay but a little tough. Horseradish sauce was great. Although the dinner was as expected and good enough, during the meal I became very aware of the mildew smell and the subtle taste in my food. Dinner was $112 including the tip. Note price increase not on menu but posted at each table, 12 oz Filet listed $45 actually $54! Plus there is 2% charge for credit card. Local supper club had low expectations, we were not disappointed.

The wood fired breadsticks were meh. Unfortunately, I didn't taste any of the herb mix that they were supposed to be brushed with. The meatballs, on the other hand, were flavorful and delicate. If I were to do an appetizer next time I visit I would consider the meatballs and pass on the breadsticks. The bianca pizza was outstanding. The sauce was initially a little runny, so I had to let it firm up a bit before picking up a slice, but it was worth the wait. The crust had fantastic chew and was a stark contrast to the harder breadsticks. This is something I would gladly get again.
