Most stop in DMI. Fried Chicken, Fish Tacos, and smokies were all great

Love the High Life Lounge. The food is always good, service is fast, and the place has a great 70s basement feel! Always coming back to this place!

Ordered Liver and Onions. Huge portion size for the money. Photo is after I had already eaten a lot, too. Cooked perfectly. They take the time to soak it in milk to remove the metallic taste. Onions perfect. Great flavor. Service friendly and very fast. With everywhere gouging customers by raising prices or shrinking portion sizes, this place doesn't. Great prices and great portions well-made. Will be back since I can trust this place and they don't f you like most places will now if they can.
