Highland Tap and Burger

Delicious libations, tasty food. What else do you want?

Everyone in my group ordered a burger, of course. They come on a slightly sweet, light bun that doesn't overpower the burger. We also shared the duck fat fries, which were... wow. I drank a skinny ass with my meal, so that negates all the calories, right? (Even if you don't like moscow mules, you might try the skinny ass. It's not as ginger-y.)

Great beer selection. Good service and a nice facility.

The burger was good but a bit overcooked. It did arrive hot. The fries might be better for you - mine arrived lukewarm and most were maybe an inch long.

Based on the other reviews it sounds like what you get from the kitchen can range from mediocre to great. So your experience will depend on who's in the kitchen that day.

I normally reserve 5-star reviews for places that are truly my favorite, and while HTB is a little out of my neighborhood and I don't go there often, I just couldn't find a reason to knock a star off.

Every time I have been there it has been an exceptional experience. Between their ample indoor space and excellent patio, good food, good beer, and nice people, I've always had a geat time. I think the real stand-out feature of HTB for me is their events and community participation. They are constantly hosting something, and have really become a gathering place for all types.

Also - their food is so much better than you would expect for "bar food". The first time I saw their menu, I thought it featured pretty standard bar food options, but after eating there I can say it is much better than standard fare. I was being "boring" the other night and went for their chopped salad, and ate every single piece of it! Probably one of the best salads I've had in a while.

Any review of HTB would be remiss to overlook their beer program. Between the exceptional tap selection and being home-base for groups like Crafty Ladies, they really cover all the bases in the craft beer (and spirits!) community.
