Highlands Supper Club

We ate here on the last day of our stay In Highlands because we stayed at Trailborn and thought it would be easiest since we planned on leaving early the next morning. We had a late lunch so only ordered entrees. I had the North Carolina Pecan Trout and my wife had the hanger steak. We thought both were unremarkable and neither was as hot as it should have been when it arrived at the table. The service was not horrible but I can't say it was great. All in all, next time I would skip this one as there were many other good choices in town.

A Memorable Evening at Highlands Supper Club What a wonderful experience! From the moment we arrived, the staff was professional, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable, setting the tone for a perfect evening. We started our night at the bar, where the selection of specialty cocktails was not only creative but the perfect way to kick off our evening. Once our guests arrived, we were promptly escorted to our table in the cozy fireplace room — a space I now hope to request every time we return. It was private, yet still offered a great view of the lively energy in the restaurant. Truly the best of both worlds! Our dining experience was nothing short of exceptional. We began with the biscuits and whipped butter, which were absolutely mouthwatering — crispy, buttery edges with a soft, melt-in-your-mouth center. They were so good we immediately ordered a second plate for the table! Next, I enjoyed a plate of the most exquisite oysters — fresh, and delicate— leaving me already dreaming about my next visit just to have them again. My salad that followed was crisp, fresh, and beautifully balanced. Every bite of our meal was thoughtfully prepared and flawlessly executed. Highlands is so fortunate to have such a thriving dining scene, and the Highlands Supper Club is an extraordinary addition to the list of world-class restaurants in the area. We cannot wait to return and create more unforgettable memories here. Thank you to the entire team for such a memorable evening — we’ll be back soon!

The setting couldn't have been more inviting. I mean who doesn't want to eat in an historic old log cabin converted to an upscale casual restaurant in the mountains? Not that that's a guarantee the food will be any good, but there are worse places to start. The thing about this experience was that the food did live up to the surroundings. Every once in awhile you have a meal that lingers in the mind. One that you start missing before you've even eaten your last bite. One that you would travel for. There were signs. Anytime you see heirloom grits on a menu, your antennae should go up. It tells you a lot about the mentality of the place, about their willingness to spend time, money, and effort to produce exceptional food. In this case it was Anson Mills grits. Then when you see it's served with seared elk tenderloin, lashed with demi-glace and supported by a few stalks of seared asparagus you may want to sign up for that program on the spot. We did. The collard greens side dish was garnished with smokey Benton's bacon (another antennae raising favorite) and spiked with a bit of tang and heat. Enough to nudge a taste bud or two. Finally, the mac and cheese was passed around. No complaints here. There wasn't a morsel left on anyone's plate. To say I've talked about that meal several times since returning home would be an understatement. I'm guessing the elk was farm-raised because of its perfect tenderness and mild flavor. Everything on that plate, and I mean everything, was cooked perfectly. Hands down this was my favorite meal of the trip. Could not imagine returning to Highlands and not eating here.

A true log cabin with a very quaint outdoor area for waiting for your table. My food was phenomenal and the service was incredibly attentive. The chef came out and was kind enough to take time to speak. The atmosphere is not pretentious at all, but very relaxed and welcoming. Highly recommend the Elk, it was delicious. Price point is about $50-ish/ person Overall 10/10!

What a great experience our family had at the Highlands Supper Club last week. We took our three children (8,9 and 12) and enjoyed wonderful attentive service with equally as fantastic food! The kids tried and enjoyed the oysters and deviled eggs we got as appetizers, as did the adults. The pork chop dish is really fantastic, and our son devoured the hanger steak. The atmosphere was chill at 5:30, and all of the staff warm and welcoming. Hope to be back soon!

We had an amazing dinner tonight - the crab deviled eggs, the elk, and the hangar steak. It was all phenomenal. The steaks could not have been cooked more perfectly! But the star of the show is the Pecan pie - you must try the pecan pie! We also had the peach cobbler which was also good, but nothing compared to the pie! Great dinner and so reasonably priced.

Food was top shelf. Absolutely delicious. Had my birthday dinner there with family. Our server was on point,drinks never got empty. Cozy fire place crackled in the dinning room. Every dish my family has was great , presentation brought out by the chef. Can't say enough about the hospitality.

When was the last time you paid $31 for a gin n tonic?? The waitress described the elk as very flavorful…actually had no seasoning at all and was served Rare not medium rare… Yuck Finally they gave us an hour and 15 minutes to eat and actually brought the check before the dessert….Save your money go somewhere nicer!

The meals exceeded my expectations, every single item on the menu. It was incredible. Drinks: Kentucky mule and the bees knees 10/10 Appetizer: high country oysters and beef tartare Dinner: Elk tenderloin

This brand new restaurant, in the old Log Cabin, is incredible. My husband surprised me with Easter Brunch and everything we ordered was top notch. I highly recommend the Deviled Eggs with smoked roe, and the Biscuits and Ham (with pomento cheese and homemade pickles) for apps. I ordered the Shrimp and Grits, the chef knows what he's doing. My husband ordered the lamb burger, and everyone around us was raving about it. Servers are attentive and well dressed. Everything served in a timely manner. Seating is inside,on a summer porch or outside on a deck.There's also casual seating in the garden area, as well as a fire pit,which would be great for drinks at night. We will be back this summer,and will share with friends.

We came here for a celebration & had the best time! It's very intimate & cozy which we loved. You must try the biscuits & deviled eggs! The apple pie dessert we tried was amazing! Gage was our server and he was so attentive. We can't wait to come back!

The service was slow and there were a couple hiccups throughout the evening. Our entrees came over an hour after we arrived. We received the wrong food and they almost charged us extra for something we didn't order. Not the best way to spend our anniversary, but they fixed their errors with a good attitude so we'll give them that.

PSA- if you don't have plans to go to the supper club for dinner -make a reservation asap! By far the best meal we had the entire week on our trip this past month. Started with the deviled eggs then I had the elk tenderloin and my husband did the ribeye special - both had amazing sides. Ended with a peach cobbler and a pecan cheesecake tart... Excellent wine list, it was our anniversary, so they comped some champagne. Oh, and the coffee - personal size French press. Fantastic! Can't wait to return! PS. Kudos to our server, Shauna! She made the night extra special!

Service was above average. Food was above average (wagyu and elk main courses) and decent proportions. Alcohol prices were ridiculous. Basically, a shot of med. grade whiskey was $20. We were seated in a decent 'corner' by the fireplace, but certainly wouldn't want a meal that costs over $200 to be in the middle tables.

Great looking place inside and out. Went for Sunday Brunch. Table ordered Biscuits, country ham & pimento cheese and the deviled eggs to start. Deviled eggs were good..biscuits were on the dry side. Main courses included eggs Benedict, shrimp & grits, chicken & waffles and steak & eggs. Shrimp & grits was the clear winner. Coffee was good. They didn't have sweet tea... Cardinal sin of any great southern restaurant. Service was good but a little sloppy. Pluses outweigh the negatives. Easily fixable. Will be back for dinner service.

Quick service, great atmosphere in old log cabin house, great outdoor area with fire pit & full bar inside - 10/10 delicious food would go back again!
