Sanders BBQ Supply Co. to Open New Restaurant in Hyde Park | Eater Chicago

"Headed to north suburban Highwood next spring, this third outpost of the Mediterranean-influenced restaurant will feature a 70-seat main dining room and a 45-seat bar area; first launched in 2003 by chef Paul Kahan and restaurateur Donnie Madia, it’s among the city’s most popular spots, known for chorizo-stuffed Medjool dates, slow-roasted pork shoulder, and an award-winning wine program, and it even appeared on season two of FX’s The Bear." - Jeffy Mai

I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The service was truly exceptional…everyone was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed especially our server Angel! The food was just as impressive. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. It’s rare to find a place that delivers both great service and great food so consistently. Highly recommend!

I’ve been a fan of The Highwood ever since they opened, and their newly refreshed outdoor dining space is even more stunning than before. With sweeping NYC skyline views, lush greenery, and a vibrant seasonal menu, it’s the perfect spot for golden hour hangs, rooftop-style vibes (without the NYC chaos), and capturing effortlessly beautiful moments. Shoutout to ANGEL for the amazing service!! The happy hour menu is worth checking out, it’s a great place to watch a game or match, and the food and cocktails never disappoint. The service is consistently warm and attentive, making each visit memorable. Some of my favorites from the menu: • Truffle Burrata & Grilled Peaches – Maplebrook farm burrata, grilled peaches, elderflower vinaigrette, sesame seeds, red radishes, basil oil, grilled sourdough bread • Highwood Ceviche – Catch of the day, red onions, habanero, sweet potato, corn, cancha, rocoto-tiger milk • Ocean Sushi Roll – Spicy tuna, avocado, cucumber, scallions, torched salmon, eel sauce, spicy mayo • Lomo Saltado – Wok stir-fried beef tenderloin, tomatoes, onions, cilantro, red vinegar, soy sauce, oyster sauce, native potatoes, chaufa rice • Delmonico – USDA prime Delmonico steak, garlic-herb compound butter, pommes aligot, crispy young beans, barolo sauce • Rigatoni Alla Vodka with Burrata – Spicy creamy pink sauce, rigatoni pasta, 24-month aged Parmigiano Reggiano, garlic bread crumbs, basil • Brussel ’n Cream – Blanched brussels, applewood smoked bacon, garlic, onions, nutmeg, chives The Highwood continues to deliver the perfect balance of elevated dining and laid-back comfort. Highly recommend for both a casual night out and a special occasion.

The high wood is a vibe. Great bartenders and really good menu with plenty of options. TV are everywhere and the drinks are great, too. Must visit if in the area.

With sleek interiors, sweeping Manhattan views, and polished service, The Highwood delivers a modern dining scene that feels effortlessly upscale. The menu balances comfort and creativity, but the sushi dishes are the real showstoppers—fresh, artfully plated, and perfectly paired with inventive cocktails. A standout destination on the Hudson.

I absolutely love popping into The Highwood when I am able to. The atmosphere, service, and food are very good. For those who can, I would also highly recommend ordering a cocktail from their menu! Especially during summertime when Jersey gets incredibly hot. Overall, my general experience over the past few years has been that it’s a friendly ambience surrounded by good people.

We ordered the Delmonico steak ($44). The meat seemed good, but the side dish was very weak. I had to order extra fries. It's worth mentioning that they charged us almost $20 extra in taxes and another $$ for not paying in cash. The tip is separate. I feel like it wasn't worth it to go to dinner! The atmosphere is more for having drinks and watching soccer games, etc.The service from the entrance to the table and the waiters is Excellent!

Made a reservation at this place for a date night. Upon arrival found out the public parking lot near this place was $40. Upon entering the restaurant I realized it was a sports bar. And the place was packed with soccer fans as Real and Barca were playing Copa Del Rey final. There were TVs everywhere showing the game, really cool place to come with group of friends for game day. We got a table by the bar area. Another guest party was sharing the corner of our table. Just totally awkward!!! Since we were already committed, we ordered drinks and food. The salmon slider, sushi rolls and mussels were ordinary dishes. Branzino was cooked well but all other ingredients it came with in the plate, didn’t suit the dish. The bartender who was also attending our table was a friendly person. She tried her best make our dinner better. She also mistakenly gave us the wrong check that we caught after paying. But she quickly refunded the wrong charge and brought us the right check. It wasn’t the upscale dining spot that I thought it would be, but to watch a sport event with group of friends, I might consider this place.

I had been intrigued by The Highwood from the moment it had opened. While sports bars were not normally my go-to, that one had great reviews, an expansive space, and a stunning view. The other day, my social media feed was full of announcements of the restaurant's 5th anniversary party. The festivities were super hyped up and the promise of complementary passed hors d'œuvres and champagne for the first hour, immediately caught my attention. I made a reservation, and we hopped on the light rail, making it a very quick trip into Weehawken and a 2 minute walk to The Highwood. The energy of the place could be felt from a block away. We walked up to the red carpet and past the bouncer to enter the large bar. The hostess then walked us through the dining room, seating us at a table with a great view of their outdoor patio and the Hudson River just beyond that. Once we were seated, the passed appetizers started to appear in rapid fire, and I appreciated that they brought them to the diners at tables, not just the crowds at their two bars. I sampled the following bites, many of which were snack-sized portions of regular menu items: 1.) Ribeye Anticuchos (skewer of prime ribeye with anticuchera sauce and a single small potato with chimichurri) - Meat was tender and flavorful, but the sauce was very smoky and had an overpowering amount of cumin in it. The potato was enjoyable. 2.) Highwood Ceviche (catch of the day (snapper?), red onions, habanero, sweet potato, corn, cancha, rocoto-tiger milk) - Acidic, but fresh and bright 3.) Beef Sliders (patty with white cheddar cheese, fried onions, on a sweet bun) -Burger meat had a burnt taste, and the bun was dry and crumbly. 4.) Ricotta toast with red grapes (crunchy bread, topped with runny, sweet cheese and sliced, marinated grapes) - Dynamic bite of textures and flavors 5.) Crab Salad Tarts (crab salad in a small pastry crust, topped with fish eggs) - The crust was too delicate and broke easily, and the salad had way too much mayo. Since I had had those few extra tastes, I wanted to get a meal that was not too heavy, so I went with the Sweet & Spicy Poke Bowl. However, for $14, it was much larger than I had anticipated. The bowl started with sushi rice, which was then topped with teriyaki salmon, colossal crab meat, avocado, seaweed salad, cucumber, edamame, crispy onions, and furikake. Every ingredient was fresh and tasty, but the dish was dry. I requested a cup of ponzu sauce, which made the dish much more enjoyable. I paired the food with the One in a Melon cocktail, one of the few mixed drinks included in the $12 happy hour special. The potent blend included a hefty pour of Olmeca Altos Tequila Blanco, mixed with fresh watermelon. The happy hour also included select $5 drafts. In addition, I heard very good reviews about the Hickory Stick Old Fashioned. I also would be remis without mentioning the service, which was stellar! We were continually checked on by our server, other front of the house members, and even the manager, but in a positive way. You could tell the staff really cared about the patrons and were skilled at "touching tables" at the precise intervals to be attentive and not annoying. The vibe was a mix of a sports bar, with televisions covering almost all of the wall space, and night club with trendy dressers and DJ tunes. The drinks were creative, and the food offered something for everyone (burgers to salads to sushi, etc.). The Highwood really offered an uplifting experience that validated their five years of success.

Great views! And they just redid their outdoor area it's perfect for watching the game or any sporting event! The food was great and the service is awesome.

We went for a date night and it was not how my husband pictured it. It was a sports bar and a soccer game going on. The crowd was rowdy. If I was there for the game, I probably would enjoy more. It was nice of them to sit away from the crowd in a lower section. We had mussel as appetizers, Bronzino, sushi and sliders. Mussels came with pasta(?), not sure why, flavor was not bad. Bronzino itself was good but the sides were confusing. I liked all ingredients by itself but all together was very overwhelming. Sushi 3/5 and sliders 3.5/5 were standard. No wow factor for me. The waitress was nice and friendly but gave us a wrong check. Good thing we checked before paying. Parking in garage at the hotel adjacent to it. There were other events going on. The parking fee was $40. Overall I think we were at the wrong place and the wrong time. Food was 3.5/5. Maybe it will be a better occasion gathering to watch a game in this restaurant than date night.

casual sports bar with great view. a great spot for a date night out. food was decent- typical bar food burgers fries etc. we sat outside and enjoyed the view and each other. Service was good, came back often to ask if we wanted another drink etc. afterwards just went and walked around and enjoyed the riverside view. The one negative is parking can be hard and there's a lot of traffic on river road due to construction.

If you're looking for a more upscale version of a sports bar, where you can watch sports on a bunch of large TVs around the bar and eat nachos from the comfort of a leather banquette, plus premium views of the city line, then the Highwood is for you. The menu ticks all the boxes - bar food like burgers and wings while also offering sushi rolls and nigiri and poke bowls (a bit of a side-eye from yours truly at a menu that covers so much ground). Because I'm easily influenced, I ordered the combo that I saw a recent reviewer got - sliders and ceviche. The salmon sliders were pretty good; I loved the combo of pickled onions and dill mayo but I would have picked another kind of bun. The ciabatta bread was a little too much bread for the salmon patty. The ceviche actually tasted quite similar to the amazing ceviche I had in Mexico. There was a good amount of seafood for the price, from some sort of white fish to shrimp to octopus, and I loved the generous amount of corn and corn nuts in it. For the price of a pretty substantial bowl of seafood ($22), I was pleasantly surprised. We came on the earlier side of a Saturday evening and food came out fast. Parking: I booked via SpotHero and had no issues with getting the ticket validated, the trickiest part was finding the parking office between the Envue and Dunkin Donuts.

Drinks were good and well-priced. The atmosphere of the place is really nice. Our server was kind and kept checking in on us in a timely manner. In addition to the One in the Melon and Dragon Fruit Blitz drinks, we ordered the buffalo chicken wings and the Highwood margherita pizza. The wings could have had more flavor, but the pizza was thin and had a crispy crust that we really enjoyed. Would go back for another night out! :)

We had made a reservation for a 2 for a high top. They had 4 high top tables with a view and the rest were near the bar/ entry way. I asked if we could sit outside. I found that the outside tables were nicer it was also a nice day out! The host was so pleasant and sat my friend and I outside no problem! We made a reservations for 7 pm on a Tuesday night. Around 8 pm it started to get busy. Our waiter was great as well and not only our waiter but every staff member that walked by was willing to help us with anything. It seemed the staff had each others backs when waiting on tables. That's extremely nice! The food was great too. My friend said her Filet mignon was burnt. She said that usually happens when you ask for well done but it was still alright. The red sangria was delicious. GET THE CALAMARI. GET THE BURRATA. Parking was easy. We parked in the Marriot residence parking garage and it was only $10 each when we went to pay. After we walked along the water and the views were incredible. There's nothing like it. I would recommend this place but I wouldn't be in a rush to go. Def worth a try!! Actually we will be back for brunch because it seems that's their prime thing from reviews and advertisement.

Great hidden spot with a lot of great food options. I spent two weeks at the hotel above and ended up eating there 7 times. Really good happy hour with $1 oysters that were actually good. Only thing that I think could be better is the quality of the steak, which was very chewy.

Great spot in a beautiful area and on the river. Staff was very attentive. They have multiple bars. Only drawback is if no spots on the street which is likely, Piad parking garage.

Place is amazing. Chill vibes not rowdy at all. Cool to watch any games as they have tv all over the bar. Food is delicious we didn't wait long to be seated or for our food to come out. Our waiter was Angel and very attentive. He made sure we were good the whole time we were there. I recommend him next time you come! Just ask for Angel!!!

LOVED the decor and ambiance. This place is a VIBE and there were no games playing when my girls and I showed up for brunch. The service was excellent. Our server was attentive and paid attention to detail. Everything was great from the pancakes to the wings to the oysters to the spicy margaritas. It hit the spot. I'm looking forward to the next brunch.

Overall , it's a nice place with a lot of TVs but don't plan on getting a seat without a reservation on a busy game day. . I came by after talking to a manager the night before who gave me a special invite card . I show up on Sunday for the games and was told my card meant nothing and the guy who invited me works at night . Even worse, I was told there was a private party , so nothing was available for me despite the outside was clearly wide open . Unfortunately it's not a covered patio as you would think it would be as the biggest TV in the place is outside! Makes no sense. The layout is not managed well and they're not very friendly to strangers. Gave me attitude as well . Food is average. Too bad . I can't recommend it.

I've been here a few times for drinks and brunch. Nice wine and cocktail list, so many screens for all of your sports favorites. The bloody mary was a little bit disappointing, and they were out of the entree I picked for brunch. My back up choice of Eggs benedict was pretty tasty though. What was so incredibly frustrating was the parking situation. While there is a parking garage nearby, the parking for the particular Sunday I went was $40!!!!...it didn't matter if you were only dining at the restaurant for two hours. There has to be a better way for restaurant patrons to park and dine at this place...can't the restaurant provide parking validation? I will think twice before coming back here again.

We come here every now and then when we're passing by the ferry station and overall enjoyed each visit. This past time we came here for dinner without a reservation and were seated right away. Service was friendly and helpful - checking in every now and then to make sure we were good. Good is overall good too. The Weehawken Margherita Pizza is a constant for us and it's good all the time. For our second dish, we had nachos this time and it was pretty good too. My favorite part of Highwood is the energy. It's always lively especially in the evenings and the overall ambiance is enjoyable - great place to come after work or something to relax and have a good time.

A restaurant with great vibes and pretty decent food! I came for a friend's birthday dinner so it was a big group of us. The service definitely stood out. They even help you take professional photos of your party! We ended up buying one picture for $20. Onto the food...I personally ordered the burrata salad with a side of salad and chicken. Such a big portion and no complaints. I loved the sweet pea soup as well -- extremely tasty. We got some seafood to share amongst the group. There is a great view from this restaurant as well.

Was looking forward to a visit to the Highwood after seeing their social media postings about closing for a few weeks for a "new look new menu new vibe". But it's pretty much the same place, I think you'd have to be a weekly regular to notice any difference, before and after. Perhaps they swept the floor, maybe added a booth or two. Less enamored with the Port Imperial pizza after having ordered it a couple more times. The flavor's there, but it's been coming out very soggy and undercooked. I'd look elsewhere on the menu than the pizzas in the future. The side salad as a starter is filled with finely chopped red onions. Small enough that it's not possible to avoid them, so if ordering, make sure you're a huge fan of raw red onion. They have a wide selection of drafts, which is nice, but they don't have a beer menu. I mean, in theory they do, they list the drafts, but all the lines just have a brewery name followed by the word "seasonal". So you know what breweries are served, but not what beers are. I suspect that's just laziness. I like a good sports bar, and the Highwood is convenient to where we stay in Weehawken, so being generous in rating. I'm sure we'll be back, just with tempered expectations.

Went here for a birthday lunch and it was amazing. I loved the location as it was right by the water with great views of the Husdon River. Food was great as well. I had the General Tso chicken and waffles and that was sooooooo delicious. Also the staff was so accommodating as they helped me to choose my meal. Also since it was lunch and it was a weekend, it was cool to see everyone dressed in football jerseys for football Sunday. Great food, great times and looking forward to coming back here again.

This is my go-to spot & the one place I always recommend to people whenever they're near the Weehawken area. They always add new items on their menu and everything I ever tried has been delicious. Nothing about this place disappointments me, well, besides some of their cocktails. The mixed drinks are not the best. They definitely need a better bartender/ mixologists because there's been a few times I had to return cocktails for tasting gross. Aside from that, this place is really nice. It's close to the ferry, so you can grab dinner at Highwood and then head into the city right after. Even though I rave a lot of positivity about this place, I will suggest to make sure you keep a copy of your receipt. I have had 2 instances where I was overcharged $100 on tip. They need to fire whoever their servers are that are changing the tip amount. I had once tipped only $15, but when I checked my bank summary, I was charged $150 for the tip. That's really not cool and I had to call several times to get the situation fixed. That's so shady and honestly, writing this and remembering those moments is absolute triggering. Make sure you get Jenna as your server or bartender. She's the best one there. Hopefully she still works there.

Our server was sweet and awesome! Comments are about the food, especially for these prices- Steak sandwich - why are there green tomatoes in this? And I'm talking giant, thick slices of tomato that don't belong anywhere, least of all on a steak sandwich where the star should be the: STEAK! Wedges were better than the steak sandwich, but still not great. Burger - unfortunately also not well done. Burger bread was dry and crumbly (old possibly?) and patties were thin and dry. Truffle fries were inedible because they were weighted down by how much oil was seeping through them. Sushi - spicy tuna roll didn't look promising, but surprisingly was a decent roll. Didn't expect that at all place that isn't a Japanese/sushi spot. Basic things like a burger and steak sandwich should not be this much of a fail, and again, definitely not for what they cost here.

This might be one of the best sports bars I have ever been to. Its the perfect place to watch a game with all of the tvs they have. Its such a great vibe with a great view over the water. The food is absolutely amazing. The burger is one of the best burgers I have had and the truffle fries are amazing as well. They have 3 happy hour cocktails that are $12 each and they are all really good, especially the watermelon one. This place is so much more than your typical sports bar. I highly recommend it.

The highwood is one of the best restaurants around the Weehawken/Edgewater area. The vibes are immaculate with TV's everywhere you look, and the service is impeccable. The food (which is the most important part obviously), is on par with the rest of the excellence. The hgihwood has the best fries I've ever had in my life they're crispy and lowkey changed my outlook on life. The burger comes with a special sauce that is FIREEE. 10/10 highly recommend this place.

I had brunch at The Highwood, and overall would say that it was a good/average meal. What was great was the beautiful view of the Port Imperial Waterway Ferry, the water and the NYC skyline. The menu does have some uniquely served dishes, and one or two things were a hit - like the cocktails and the Guacamole and pork belly; while the oysters, chicken wings and the Shrimp and Lobster Burger were pretty average. It was a unique attempt at a lobster & shrimp burger, but the patty ended up being too chewy, and I didn't taste much seasoning. Overall it was a good experience. But I would likely just grab drinks and enjoy the view if I were to go again.

Nestled in the heart of edge water, with the most amazing view of Manhattan, is the fanciest little restaurant! Beautiful decor with old fashioned couches and a beautiful patio. I started with a few apps including the fries burrata and the nachos. wow incredible The combination of the cheesy burrata and the pasta, out of this world! Then I had the best pizza I've ever eaten, with meatball peppers onions and topped with a house made aioli. Yum. I also tried the rainbow rolls and dragon roll, incredibly fresh and amazing. Finally did the entrees a pan seared salmon over a bed of artichokes and chorizo hash, wow. Also the fried chicken sandwhich is amazing! If you're in the Edgewated area stop by !

Came here on a Tuesday night with a friend. Found this place through Yelp. There was no wait time. The place has a lot of tv's for sports. I can imagine this place being packed during football Sunday. The place has a very chill vibe and is not loud. Ended up getting chicken wings (naked) which were very crispy and good. Split the fried chicken sandwich and the Highwood burger which were both solid. The fries that came with the meal were tasty as well. Solid food with a clean sports bar vibe. Def would recommend this place if your in the mood to catch games with good food.

I was back in Jersey, visiting family & friends, wanted a chill, grown and sexy spot to watch the games on Sunday, and this was the unanimous answer I received from several friends. Located across from the ferry at Port Imperial, this place gave me all the vibes I was looking for. Ambience, the group of people that were there, the music, the food...all hit the nail on the head. Whether you want to swing by by yourself or hitting the spot with your Ladies or Dudes, you won't be disappointed. If you're looking for a place to frequent on a Sunday, this is your place. Didn't get to take pics of our libations...they were consumed too quickly. If I lived here, this would be my "Sunday place" FOR SURE. If you haven't been, do yourself a favor and go!

Good ambiance. Tasty food. Nice staff. There's a nice view of nyc and a spot to walk around before/after dinner and watch the view or chat. Seems like a good spot for a date night. Lots of drink options and different food options. Both items we ordered were pretty good. Nothing mind blowing but still pretty good. There's parking on the street and a garage right next door so that was easy. Lots of tvs playing sports but it wasn't too loud so you can hear your conversation. Overall, good easy spot.

Great place to watch Sunday football. The sesame crusted tuna is DELICIOUS! We also had the chicken satay which was tasty! For drinks, we had the Yuzu Crazy, One in a Melon and Lavender Skies, and all were made to perfection! So good! Our server Vanessa was excellent. Even though she was very busy she was communicative and attentive.

Nice sports bar to go with a date or with a group. The service is good and efficient, the food delicious in a relaxed ambiance with an incredible view of the NYC skyline. *Prime Location*

The service was good, and I really enjoyed the food especially the Highwood Burger. The beer was nice too, but the ones on the happy hour menu weren't as good as the ones on the regular menu. Still, I totally recommend this place!

Typical sports bar, but with a view. Conveniently located by the port imperial ferry dock, the Highwood is great for those who are commuting back to NJ and want a bite to eat before they hit the road. They have tvs around for whatever games are playing, and decent music. Drinks weren't anything special, but they did have a few samples passed around! I ordered the squid ink tagliatelle pasta (photographed) and was pleasantly surprised. I'm a sucker for a good garlic cream sauce -- I'd probably go back to this restaurant just for this dish.

We had made a reservation for 2 for a hightop. They had 4 hightop tables with the view and the rest were near the bar area/ entry way. I asked if we could sit outside. I found that outside tables were nicer it was also a nice day out! The host was so pleasant and sat my friend and I outside no problem! We made reservations for 7pm on a Tuesday night. Around 8pm it started to get busy. Our waiter was great as well and not only our waiter but every staff member that walked by was willing to help us with anything. It seemed that the staff had each others backs when waiting on tables. That's extremely nice! The food was great too. My friend said her Filet mignon was burnt. She said that usually happens when you ask for well done but it was still alright. The red sangria was delicious. GET THE CALAMARI. GET THE BURRATA. Parking was easy. We parked in the Marriot residence parking garage and it was only 10$ each when we went to pay. After we walked along the water and the views are incredible. There's nothing like it. I would recommend this place but I wouldn't be in a rush to go. Def worth a try!! Actually we will be back for brunch because it seems that's their prime thing from reviews and advertisement.

Very nice spot! Not from around here but would definitely come back! The views are amazing. Food was good. According to my girls the burgers were delicious. We ordered the guac to start. It came with literally 5 chips. Fresh but very little serving. The mussel and clam app with the coconut curry was AMAZING!! I ate it all by myself. Calamari was also fresh and tasty. I ordered the kale Caesar salad. With some shrimp on it. Unfortunately they missed the bar with this one. The lettuce was iceberg mixed with greens. The shrimp were over cooked and only came with 3 of them. Dressing however was good and tasty. But for an entree I would've thought it be slightly on the bigger side. It was more like an appetizer size. Margaritas were blah.. we only ordered one. Not a fan. Server Jesus was sweet. And informative.

Nachos were good and burgers were too! Service was ahh, could be better. .not attentive what-so-ever. Service operations were not so traditional.
