First Time customer & visitor to St. Paul, Minnesota. My relative suggested Highland. The wait time was reasonable considering those who knew to RSVP ahead. I love the ambience & the food was very tasteful. Unfortunately our server seems over worked and not interested in asking if everything was ok or if we needed refills. It was very difficult to get her attention when we needed refills or anything at our table. Maybe she was a new hire.

Nicole P. was our waitress she’s very hilarious but very great server but also the service was great and the food was delicious! I will definitely be coming back 10/10 recommend the Hot Hash & Holly

Delicious! The food is hearty, but light and not oily. The pesto pasta (without meat) is a great vegetarian option. It is not heavy, or creamy which is nice for lactose intolerant people. The fish and chips are tender & fluffy. The horseradish sauce compliments the fish & bread/batter well. Please give the chefs a raise!

Last minute decision to eat there last night. Got a table immediately (about 6pm), staff was all friendly. I ordered the Lemongrass Thai Chicken, my spouse had the turkey burger. Oh. My. Goodness! The chicken was superb! Just enough spice without burning my Minnesota taste buds. Spouse said his burger was very good, but I think he was a little jealous of my meal. Dessert time came, and I jumped at the words Chocolate Torte. I didn’t read the description, so it was a lovely surprise when it came with a scoop of good vanilla ice cream, some fresh blueberries around the sides, and a fruit-flavored sauce drizzled over it all. I brought some of my chicken home, pleased that the carton is compostable.

My son told me to visit here and I dragged my feet about going. I'm salty now because the place is !! It's small but cute and cozy, 8.5/10 on the atmosphere. Now my server Lex, she rocked and she had big style so that's a 10/10 for me. The early happy hour had us feeling really excited we picked the place. The food took it to another level. We had the salmon dip as an appetizer 8/10, the salmon entree with mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts (which was enough to split with my friend) 10/10, chicken Wings 9/10 and we all had drinks. I did the Highland Mule 11/10, sangria 10/10 and the breakfast margarita 10/10. Safe to say I'll be back and you should give it a try too!!

Definitely worth the 30-minute wait, would have waited an hour if we had to. The food, the service, the atmosphere, the decor, outstanding! Two words: Oatmeal Pancakes. You'll thank me later. Great big menu, you'll need time to deliberate from all of the wonderful choices offered. Diner like atmosphere with individual stools and a counter up front if you're dining solo. Lots of tables and booths, but on weekends, they are going to be full and you may have to wait like we did. Definitely worth it. They will text you when the table is ready. Check out the store across the street while you wait, interesting place.

I have been visiting this establishment since 2016 due to living within the area and have not really been back since moving away from the area in 2018. I made an effort in returning after all the COVID riffraff and I am happy to say that Highland Grill continues to have it together! When my partner and I used to visit back in 2016 and 2017, Kim, who was the manager during that time, was very courteous to us and would even take one plate off the bill everytime we visited! Unfortunately we do not see Kim around anymore this time returning, but it didn't stop us from having a wonderful experience. The food continues to be good. I have had all the entrees from years ago like Steak & Pierogies, Lemongrass Thai Chicken, Beef Stroganoff, Seared Salmon, and more. They also used to have meatloaf which I loved. However, I do not recall them having Tuna Poke Bowl from back in the days, so I tried it this time. It was definitely a healthy version and not authentic, so I would advise whoever is looking for authenticity to avoid ordering it. However, I liked the combination of all the healthy stuff so I enjoyed it regardless, as a salad bowl rather than as a poke bowl. Appetizers have always just been hitting different. The cheesecurds, the loaded tots, the pierogies, the brussels sprouts, everything tasted just like how they were 5-6 years ago and they were simply savory in the most positive way. I wouldn't change anything about any of those dishes. I tried their beet salad this time as well, and I absolutely loved the combination of beets, goat cheese, carrots, and candied walnuts. I could see that they were trying to use alternative flavors to replace the earthy flavors from the beets and as much as I love beets personally, I appreciated the move. I thought they had an overall generous amount of beets included, which was a plus as well. I love seeing Highland Grill thriving and I hope it continues to be like such. As I move from place to place, I love making an intentional effort to return to the Highland area just for the food here.

Loved the food! I'm a huge fan of anyone that does a good job with brussel sprouts and these people definitely do enjoyed my mock cocktail. The thin and tonic was refreshing and delicious. The service was top notch! Quick but not rushed, personal but not intrusive! Check out there weekly special for 2 people! Fantastic deal!!
