Welcome to Highlander House Restaurant and Bar. Our beautiful restaurant attracts our clients with unique styles, friendly atmosphere, and delicious food. The name of the restaurant was greatly influenced by our family's roots, which are originated from the mountains in Poland.

The style of the restaurant consists of many of souvenirs, wooden decorations, regional costumes, and traditional instruments to give our guests that authentic atmosphere. Dishes are prepared from scratch according to recipes originating from the south region of Poland called Podhale.

We offer regional and traditional Polish cuisine. Our European plate, sauerkraut soup, sheep cheese soup, unique taste of lamb plate and pork shank ranks highest in popularity amongst our guests.

Every Sunday we have live entertainment featuring Polish Highlanders. With the help of our friendly staff and delicious food, we hope you continue to come back and visit us at Highlander House.

    Food is 10/10 so is the service. Our waiter was so patient and accommodating. You get a lot of food for the price. It’s decorated with a rustic theme that is very warm and inviting. It’s a little loud on a Saturday but I can see why it’s so popular.

    Food was good, service was slow but courteous (not servers fault if understaffed.) it’s a small space and the authentic music, while nice, was too loud
