We've had HB twice now, and both times have been wonderful. The first time we ordered nachos, a reuben, and cauliflower bites to-go. The cauliflower bites were borderline for me, but the reuben (+fries) and nachos were GREAT.Second visit, we had wings, salmon pasta and fish & chips. The wings and salmon pasta were so delicious, but I wasn't a huge fan of the f&c (good, but nothing special).The service is fantastic, the atmosphere is chill, and overall HB is just a great, casual restaurant. Also, I was thrilled that there wasn't a huge wait at 6:30-7pm on a Saturday night. Great food, service and prices!Thanks Dree for the awesome experience!

Party of 4 for DinnerThe restaurant is located on the corner of North Highland and Sampson Street. Parking is a bit of a challenge. Your best bet is finding street parking. I was told by a waitress that there is a parking lot on Sampson that is free for 2 hours, but I was able to find something on the street directly across from the restaurant on Highland. We entered the restaurant, requested to sit outside and we were seated immediately. The place itself is not huge. It has a decent amount of indoor seating and a small outside seating area. Our server, Aiyana, came to give us our menus and glasses of water. She was very friendly with a great attitude. Our outside table was a little shaky. We were joking, not to lean on it because it probably could not support anything too heavy. We all reviewed the menu while enjoying the music being pumped outside. When we first arrived, the music was pretty loud, but they eventually lowered the volume to a nice level. The menu had many of our favorite food items and had a lot of specialty drinks with a small, but respectable craft beer selection. I ended up ordering the Hi-Wire IPA. For food, Wifey and my oldest ordered the Shrimp and Grits. My youngest ordered a Cheeseburger with Fries. I ordered the Chicken and Waffles. The food came out pretty quickly. I received 1 big kinda thin waffle and about 4-5 chicken tenders(not wings). The tenders were crunchy on the outside, juicy on the inside and with the syrup, I really enjoyed it. The shrimp and grits portions were huge. Wifey gave it a 9 and my oldest gave it a 7. They both enjoyed their meal and had enough to take home. My youngest also enjoyed her cheeseburger and fries, no complaints. One note about the restrooms: they were not the cleanest and you have to pass an open garbage can to get there. Not very appetizing. I would give this place 3.5 stars, but there are no half stars here, so Aiyana’s great attitude pushes it to a 4.
Parking: Look for street parking. Waitress advised there is a parking lot on Sampson.

Visited Highland Bistro with some friends that were in town. It was our first time coming here.We walked in around 1PM and the place was empty so we were seated right away. They had a live DJ which was cool but at times a bit too loud for an empty restaurant.I ordered a slushy drink ($8) and it was pretty great. For my entree, I ordered the chicken and waffles. When it came out I was a little disappointed because it didn't look like previous chicken and waffles. It looked like chicken strips and waffle. The bourbon syrup and peppercorn butter were not included as the menu suggested.The service was great so no complaints about that.Not a place that left a memorable experience.

My family of 4 went here for lunch on a Saturday on a whim when I saw it on Groupon. I got the shrimp and grits and my partner had the cheesesteak. My kids split wings and fries. Everything was fantastic!! The shrimp and grits were the best I’ve ever had. The grits were creamy and had the most incredible flavor, I think from the creamy Cajun sauce it listed on the menu. They were topped with a very generous portion of large, well seasoned shrimp, juicy chunks of chicken andouille sausage, hearty and tender strips of onion and red pepper. And Texas toast too on the side! Every aspect of this dish was clearly well thought out and all the flavors worked perfectly together. My highest compliments to the chef! Everyone else loved their food too but I just had to come on here and rave about the shrimp and grits. And I can’t forget to mention as well our server Aiyanna was absolutely lovely!! We’ll definitely be returning!!

This place is top of the line when it comes to affordable price, covid safety, cleanliness, customer service and handicap ♿️ accessible.The menu items are a great variety. My personal favorite is the highland salad with grilled salmon, ? deliciousness. My husband even requested a special item and Mr. ? Cheez was eager to accommodate (crab cakes). They are not a menu item, but we hope enough people will request or inquire about the crab cakes to make them a regular option. This is absolutely a must visit restaurant.

This restaurant was recommended to me by my seat mate on the plane to Atlanta and after eating here I understand why. The food was to die for. The best food I had in Atlanta on my trip. I will definitely be coming back here every trip. I got the blackened salmon with Cajun pasta and the chicken tacos with the homemade chips and their special sauce that I need the recipe to.

Highland Bistro Brunch has live music, the food is delicious, and the drinks are on point. Shown:Catfish and GritsSticky Bun WaffleFruity Pebble PancakesBerry TartChicken sausage and Candian Bacon@ServingLooksATL if you are hungry for more.
The food was delicious! It was also nicely presented on the plate. The menu is fairly simple. There isn't a variety of options offered and I didn't see a kids menu.

Wow!! I’ve supported this restaurant since their opening day and I have to say they NEVER DISAPPOINT! I’m an O4W resident and I give the Highland Bistro 5 STARS ACROSS THE BOARD. Where do I start….My first time coming here I had the Fried broccoli which was amazing, my next visit I had the Philly cheese steak it was also delicious! The nachos they serve here are unmatched! I fell in love with the freshness of the tortilla chips and the loaded toppings that smother them to perfection. My last visit which was about 2 days ago I ordered the Fish Tacos (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED) and yep you guessed it I was blown away at how amazing these tacos were! The presentation was perfect and my server/bartender was so kind and helpful.
