On Saturday Oct.25, 2026 I had the 2 piece catfish fillet plate. I cannot recommend this plate as the outside of the catfish is very hard. I would recommend changing this to look and taste more like a cornmeal batter. Other than that everything was good. Bartender is very attentive to her customers.

Fast, friendly service. We enjoyed ice cold beer on Cajun day. Loved the huge portion of Cajun white fish and jambalaya with a side plate of the boudin balls. So nice to see such a friendly neighborhood tavern!

I just don't understand what to tell these people!!! I want my pizza crispy, I don't care if the edges are burnt, make sure the bottom is brown. Every time I get limp white on the bottom of the pizza. The photo is from the edge. You can imagine what the rest looks like. Thin crust is supposed to be crispy when you bite into it. I've tried multiple times and I guess they just don't care. Last time for me!!!

Online menu needs updating. Came for steak, shrimp basket. Neither on menu now. Service was slow. Had to ask for glass of water 3 times. Food was so-so. Portions were small. Bun was stale. Fries were warm, At best. One order had to be sent back. We will not be returning.

Fried chicken dinner was great. Service was great. Thank you for a great meal.
The “servers” if you can call them that are extremely lazy and inconsiderate to their customers. Don’t care enough to hand you a Togo order, they are too lazy to bring it to their customers.

if your bedtime is before 8 pm....I wouldn't recommend going here. Bartending is way below average, with no customer service. I'm surprised they're still open, as it's seem they don't want business if you come in after 7 pm...doors were locked at 8 pm on a Saturday night. If I owned this place I would be making sure they keep the door unlocked until closing. this place could he a Northside staple with the right management. really disappointing.

cozy, inexpensive, laid back. So we live close to the new neighbor on the block which is Nellies North and that place can be quite busy. We stopped in Highland for breakfast instead and were pleased with the food, the atmosphere, the staff. The food was hot.... I emphasize hot .... tasty and fresh. The eggs even had white in them which is something I look for. Nellie’s North is great but don't miss the Highland Inn as a great alternative.
Service is great. The pizza has the perfect thin crust, and the chips and homemade salsa are the BEST around!

First off I’ve never left a review. Never felt the need. However, this changed things. We arrived at 5:30pm and were the only group in the building(6 people). It took 5 minutes to be greeted and get drink order. It was clear from the beginning our waitress was under the influence of drugs or alcohol, slurring speech, struggling standing and spilling drinks everywhere. Next, we ordered 2 appetizers, the first one took 30 minutes to arrive, the next took 45 minutes. I asked after the group had finished appetizer 1, where our other appetizer was and was told it’s still being prepared. When our entrees finally arrived, 4 of the 6 got their food after an hour and a half wait. The 4 finished their food before I got my food. Only to find out they never put my wife’s food in at all. We finally received it 2 hours later and just asked for a box as we were beyond ready to leave. Once we received our checks we realized they had charged us a $7.95 delivery fee. Mind you we were dining inside the restaurant. While all of this was happening, 4 tables got up and left due to the atrocious service. It’s truly sad but until this restaurant gets some help, I’ll save you the time and do not dine or order anything from this establishment.

Don't pass this place up! Stop in for food and drink with friends or family, food is served hot to your table or at the bar. Prompt service with a smile. Home town feel. Must experience.
