I’ve been there lots of times and I’m pretty sure that the ugly dog is one of my top 3 @ Highlands! It’s not expensive, has wide variety of drinks, and my boyfriend loves the burguers they serve there.. Sometimes it’s crowded and you have to wait to get a seat, which is why I give the service 4 ⭐..

The chicken was uncooked/had a weird texture. Had to return it. The quality of food was very basic. The salad was good. The server didn’t bring our drinks out and we had to take them ourselves.

Pizzas, sandwiches, salads, and burgers to choose from. I got a Salmon BLT with avocado and green fried tomato. Ordered a house salad which was generous in size. Hubby got the Cuban. We both got rings. All was very good. Fun, cozy atmosphere.

Nice bar restaurant. Even though we were there on the off season there was quite a wait but it went fast. We got two drinks at the bar and I at the time didn’t realize they were $25 for a beer and one mixed drink so I’m not sure if I was over charged or it was one of the most expensive liquor drinks in the world. I had one more beer with my meal and the total for two burgers and a beer was $35 bucks so i honestly don’t know what happened. Besides that the burgers were good and the live music was great.

Stopped in for a quick lunch on a Wednesday afternoon. Seated quickly by a friendly host/ bartender. Was able to place an order quickly and came out in a reasonable time. We both got burgers which were great! No complaints!
We really enjoyed checking out all the dog pictures all over the restaurant. Overall, great food at a great price. Would love to come back!

Friendly and helpful staff and fun environment. Good food with large portions, try the whipped feta appetizer. We will be back on our next trip to Highlands.

We’ve been coming to Highlands since 2020 and somehow never made it to Ugly Dog Public House until now — what a gem!
The food, service, and live entertainment were all outstanding. We had the flatbread and it was absolutely delicious, and everything else we tried was just as good. The atmosphere was warm, fun, and welcoming.
We loved it so much they’ve earned customers for life. We’ll definitely be back!

This place was recommended to us by some friends that visit the Highlands regularly and I’m so glad we took their advice. It has a “come as you are, all are welcome” vibe. The service was attentive and the food was great. The menu is simple food with a little flare but not so much that you don’t know what you’re eating or what to order. I would highly recommend it and can’t wait to go back again.

Top 5 favorite restaurant in the U.S. Our new favorite NC dinner destination. Great atmosphere, friendly staff, dynamite cocktails, and a decent menu. We visited Memorial Day weekend and everything was perfect. The hostess was super friendly..we have three kids and although it’s not a ‘family restaurant’ we felt very welcomed. We waited for 30 minutes on the patio in front an enjoyed a couple of cocktails. Try the Tuck…it was quite good. The menu is decent–it had something for everyone. The bar had a friendly vibe and the restaurant had 2-3 families in it. We were there on a music trivia night–not typically a family endeavor but both our server and the host went out of the way to make sure we all had fun. Which meant we also bough another round of drinks! Can’t wait to return again!!
