    VIBE: Sports bar/ pub located adjacent to golf shop at mountain resort. Service can be spotty at times probably due to varying volume of patrons. Has outdoor seating overlooking golf course. Also has outdoor seating area for smokers (this is North Carolina!) ORDER THE: Standard pub grub of burgers, pizza, etc. I did have a very good gorganzola salad.

    We were visiting Burlingame CC and heard the views here were great. We read the recent reviews and were very skeptical due to the recent reviews (saying food took forever to come out, the service was bad, etc.). Those reviews were NOT accurate. We were told by our wonderful server, Ashley, that there is a new chef as of 10 days or so (August 3, 2017) who is taking on the task of getting good food out timely. He did! We were a table of 5 + 1 toddler. We ordered drinks (beer and mixed drink) and an appetizer right away and both came out at the appropriate time. We then ordered two salads, a pizza, a calzone, and a kids meal. All the food was good, it came out quickly, and we couldn't have been more happy with our decision. If you're reading this, and it's after 8/13/17, take a leap of faith with the new chef. The views/scenery are over the top and the food was good and served timely. Hopefully you're lucky enough to get Ashley as a server

    The alcoholic burger was so good. It paired perfectly with the light ale beer. We had great service, and the atmosphere was nice and relaxing.

    Nice visit, friendly staff, decent beer and food. Well worth the visit for the best views in The Highlands area.

    Don't waste your time going here... or they will waste yours! Our waitress sat us, then came by 30 minutes later to take drink orders but then made us wait another 30 minutes to take our food orders when we told her we were ready to order. And there was only 1 other table of customers. The beer was good, but the food was terrible. The jalapeño wraps are okay, but the calzone tastes half baked and anyone could make a better calzone at home. My nephew took one bite of his quesadilla and stopped. His brother tried one bit of it too and almost spit it out. I rarely write 1 star reviews but this one deserved its rating.

    Ugly Dog Pub was one of my favorite places I visited in Highlands. The food was amazing, the smash…read moreburger definitely lived up to the hype, and the beer selection was great. The live music was an awesome touch and made for a fun atmosphere. I was able to bring my pup since I sat outside, which was a huge plus. Just keep in mind that if you're dining on the patio, the service is more limited, you order and pay at the bar, and they'll bring your food out to you. Overall, this is a must-visit if you're in Highlands, North Carolina, especially if you're a fan of great burgers, good beer, and a laid-back atmosphere.

    We were seated right away. A little annoyed that our party of 5 was seated at a small corner booth…read moretable. Ended up using the back of the booth for our water bottle and condiments and still struggled for space. Buffalo wings were good but not exactly Buffalo. No buttery spicy hot sauce. It was more peppery than buffalo. Wings were cooked perfectly though Reuben is excellent as are the jalapeno Mac bites. Cheese dip was also excellent but we (and the table next to us) had to ask for more chips. Not portioned terribly well. Beer options were very slim (2 on tap from what it gathered). I'm sure there were plenty of bottled options but draft was disappointing. We ordered the ale but they tapped out and brought us brown ale. At 5pm...only a brown and stout on tap. Overall, it was a pretty middling experience but the food was good and they offer a military appreciation discount.
