We found this place purely by chance off of a Google search for chicken fried steaks in my area. They were pretty busy but no line. We waited to be seated so that she could stagger the customers and not overwork the waitress. Totally fine with that! The atmosphere screamed Irish pub and it smelled amazing! We didn’t mind waiting. Good things come to those who wait. We got the Ruben egg rolls which I could have order two more of and just had those for dinner alone. 🤤 We had to get the pretzel with beer cheese sauce. Yum! 😋 The service was super friendly and the meals were made with love and pride. The owner/ chef brought all the orders out and served them. He interacted with all the people in the restaurant and made sure everyone was taken care of. Our waitress, Mandy, was the most beautifu

First time here. I ordered the patty melt with fries. Unfortunately, the melt came out barely warm and the flavor was just okay. In my opinion, the food was pretty average—on par with most places around here, nothing that really stood out. I did appreciate that the bartender knocked $2 off the bill when I mentioned the temperature issue. Overall, it wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t impressive either—just kind of meh.

Tired and sunburnt after a full weekend at the Shootout, we had an unexpectedly great time at Highlander Public House in Camdenton. It’s a lively Irish pub with tons of personality—Highland cows mixed with cheeky, whimsical Irish décor. The bar is a great size, and there’s even a modern jukebox set into a whiskey barrel end. Our waitress was absolutely adorable—I wanted to adopt her, lol. The whole staff seemed to genuinely enjoy being there. They were laughing, helping each other, and clearly having fun. That kind of energy makes a difference. Now, the food: amazing. (And we didn’t wait long, surprisingly!) We started with the fries topped with mushroom gravy and green onions—kind of like Irish poutine? So good. The crispy Brussels sprouts appetizer… just try it! The burgers are huge—a

We came with a party of six which included four adults and two children. This was our first time at The Highlander. It was packed when we got there which is usually a good sign that they have good food and or drinks. There was a short wait but it was less than 10 minutes. We started with four appetizers including the fried pickles which were perfect for any pickle lover. The mozzarella logs were amazing! I could have probably ordered that just for a meal. There was a seasonal selection menu that included yellow fin tuna and avocado which was so delightful and plated perfectly. We also got a pound of peel and eat shrimp with their house made cocktail sauce. The sauce was light with plenty bite due to the grated horseradish. As for the entrees they too did not disappoint.. The chicken and wa

These folks took a boring old strip mall space and truly turned it into a pub space. It's awesome on the inside. Service was friendly, accurate, just great. The food was phenomenal. We had the Highlander pie aka Shepherd's pie. We had one of the seasonal specials the Rachel. Both were fabulous and really nice sized portions. You won't be disappointed. Also for any whiskey drinkers go on Wednesday they have flight specials.
