The eggplant was easily the standout appetizer for the table and something I would absolutely recommend ordering. It was our favorite by far.

Everything else was solid though and I'd definitely come back, especially for the apps.

On that visit, we all ordered the Dirty South pizza, a burger with fries, and the mini corn dogs, and everything was just as impressive. It came out hot, crispy, and fresh, with plenty of their amazing sauces. Honestly, we were blown away. That experience alone would've been enough, but going in person sealed it. We were greeted right away by a super friendly staff, and our server was incredibly helpful. We started with the fried dough dip plate and then got the chicken bacon ranch sandwich. When we came back, my wife ordered the burger and fries again and it was dynamite all over again. Consistency like that says a lot. Everything came out quickly, tasted incredible, and the whole team was so accommodating and genuinely welcoming, creating a really family-friendly atmosphere. The vibe is awesome too. Laid-back, great music, plenty of space, and a really cool rock-and-roll garage aesthetic. You can tell the staff enjoys being there, which makes a huge difference. And I have to mention the drinks. The dirty sodas, especially the vanilla Coke, are dangerously good. The kind of thing you could absolutely get hooked on. And somehow, on top of all that, the prices are more than fair. It's such a refreshing break from the overpriced downtown spots. From start to finish, this place has it all: great food, great service, great atmosphere, and great prices. Total package.

Sweet moscato chilled in the glass along with signature cocktails paired well with the one meat and one cheese charcuterie board. Also the whipped feta, veggies and chips went well while sipping. As the tubes of Anita Baker, Jill Scott, and Marvin Gaye spinned on the vinyls, the guys enjoyed grilled cheese while I basked on some mussels. Can I say the sauce was worth everything and definitely wanted to dip more in the sauce. Great food portions and hate I didn't get to see desserts as would love to have pair some sweet with the savory wine. Oh...there is always next time. The owners were amazing, very educated on food selections and personable. Can't wait for another event in June.

We've always loved the buffalo flavored wings, fries, and all the unique sauces.

You can order from inside or at the outdoor station, which makes things convenient. The indoor space features a big bar, TVs, arcade games, and even a small gift shop--lots to keep everyone entertained. Our food came out very quickly, but unfortunately that seemed to be because it was pre-cooked. The fries were lukewarm, and most of the items lacked that fresh, hot taste (the boiled peanuts were a delicious exception--super hot and spot-on). Overall, this is a great casual, family-friendly environment for hanging out and enjoying the vibe. Just don't go expecting gourmet food, and you'll have a solid time. Recommended for the atmosphere and drinks more than the meal.

First off I love that it's a full service bar and eating at the bar is no problem. Second I absolutely love they sell pitchers of beer. Not many taps, but still pitchers. And it's mostly local beer. I was with my husband and we wanted to try several things and took recs from the bartender who was awesome. We ordered the pork dumplings, the scallion pancake and the spicy sichuan hot karaage rice bowl. And we made it a combo with miso soup and an egg roll for $4. The pork dumplings were SO good. I could eat a meal of those alone. They were dense and flavorful and the dipping sauce was slightly spicy. The scallion pancake was a surprise delight. It was crispy and not too greasy again with a delicious dipping sauce. The miso soup...chefs kiss. It looked like ordinary miso soup but there was something extra that we really loved!! And the egg roll was big and juicy and fried and wonderful. It's a veggie egg roll but don't let that fool you. So much flavor and again the sweet chili dipping sauce left us drooling. Most of those sauces are too sweet but this was the perfect blend and the perfect spice level. The rice bowl was full of flavor!! The spice on this is quite a lot so make sure you can handle heat if you order the "hot" version. But again lots of flavor not just hot. Thank god we didn't order anymore food because this was plenty for the two of us to leave full and honestly we could've had leftovers. We will 1000% be visiting again and fully understand the hype around this phenomenal restaurant!!

We perused the website, menu, reviews, etc. before arriving for our reservation with our party of 4. We were seated and the service was very decent. Our server explained the concept, etc. Our party ordered about 7 dishes in total. Personally, I'm not a fan of dishes coming out one at a time as they are prepared. I felt like we waited a long time between the dishes. This may have been because the restaurant was packed and busy. In fact, it was so busy, and music was playing, which made it hard for me to hear the people speaking at our own table. If you're interested in enjoying good conversation, maybe come at a less busy time, like when the restaurant first opens. We ordered the "world famous" corn bread which was delivered in a cast iron skillet and is definitely worth ordering. Very good! We also ordered the Sichuan Hot Karaage, pork dumplings, sinigang greens, vegetable stir fry, fried rice and dan dan noodles. Our favorites were the cornbread and pork dumplings. The dan dan noodles were tasty too. In our opinion, the fried rice was super oily, the sinigang greens dish was overwhelmed by the fish sauce and was not a very balanced dish. In addition, the greens were not as tender as we would have liked, nor were they cut....basically whole leaves which gave us such a chewy mouth feel. Mocktails were refreshing. We ordered the "I'm chill. I'm chill as a cucumber" which was a house made salted cucumber and lime soda. Overall, the experience was interesting but there was nothing that would make me want to return. I feel like I can check that experience off my list.

It's a great trendy location on the edge of Park Circle, conveniently has a small parking lot in addition to street parking and a tiny city lot close by, woman owned, and decorated super warm and inviting. So I really really wanted to like this place. Maybe it was the day I chose to go. I used YELP to reserve a spot on the waitlist, and met a friend for brunch before going into Highwater. Maybe they were unusually slammed. I ordered a Buzzed Donut, coffee rubbed bacon, with an over-easy egg on a pop biscuit doughnut with a side of shredded hashbrowns & mocha dip. Sounds amazing and unique! But the one I was served was burnt, hard, and had obviously been sitting under some heat too long and was past the point of being served. I politely brought it to my server's attention both dark coloring, hard texture, and burnt taste were affected, and while she did inquire, the answer was that it was the last one so a re-order was not an option. I was not trying to make a stink to my server or make my friend late to the festival, and they couldn't rush a new item, so I ate around the hard/burnt part politely. When the bill came, the server informed me she took 15 percent off that item. Everyone has off days, and I really wanted to like this place but the more I think about it the crazier it is to think I paid 85 percent of a meal that shouldn't have been served. When I worked in food service, I would have never served an item in this condition. I would have simply apologized that I didn't realize the kitchen was out, taken the item off the bill, and brought a replacement item or dessert at no charge. I had excitedly announced it was my first time trying this place when the server first introduced herself, and I'm just disappointed it wasn't 100 percent wonderful.
