We found this place purely by chance off of a Google search for chicken fried steaks in my area. They were pretty busy but no line. We waited to be seated so that she could stagger the customers and not overwork the waitress. Totally fine with that! The atmosphere screamed Irish pub and it smelled amazing! We didn’t mind waiting. Good things come to those who wait. We got the Ruben egg rolls which I could have order two more of and just had those for dinner alone. We had to get the pretzel with beer cheese sauce. Yum! The service was super friendly and the meals were made with love and pride. The owner/ chef brought all the orders out and served them. He interacted with all the people in the restaurant and made sure everyone was taken care of. Our waitress, Mandy, was the most beautiful soul. She was super friendly and personable. Always smiling and was able to stay on top of all the customers. Never had an empty drink. She made great suggestions and what to order. SO glad we stumbled in here tonight! We will definitely be back! (Don’t get me started on the cheesecake that is his grandmothers recipe!) ❤️❤️❤️

First time here. I ordered the patty melt with fries. Unfortunately, the melt came out barely warm and the flavor was just okay. In my opinion, the food was pretty average—on par with most places around here, nothing that really stood out. I did appreciate that the bartender knocked $2 off the bill when I mentioned the temperature issue. Overall, it wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t impressive either—just kind of meh.

Tired and sunburnt after a full weekend at the Shootout, we had an unexpectedly great time at Highlander Public House in Camdenton. It’s a lively Irish pub with tons of personality—Highland cows mixed with cheeky, whimsical Irish décor. The bar is a great size, and there’s even a modern jukebox set into a whiskey barrel end.
Our waitress was absolutely adorable—I wanted to adopt her, lol. The whole staff seemed to genuinely enjoy being there. They were laughing, helping each other, and clearly having fun. That kind of energy makes a difference.
Now, the food: amazing. (And we didn’t wait long, surprisingly!) We started with the fries topped with mushroom gravy and green onions—kind of like Irish poutine? So good. The crispy Brussels sprouts appetizer… just try it!
The burgers are huge—a full half pound of locally sourced beef—and perfectly cooked. The bacon & bleu burger featured a finely chopped bacon and blue cheese blend, almost like a rustic, relish-like sauce. Not runny, not chunky—just a rich, flavorful spread that soaked into every bite. The mac & cheese burger was also exceptional. The HPH Burger did not disappoint. And the Highlander Pie? Mouthwatering, enormous, and served sizzling in a cast iron skillet.
We’re so glad we gave it a try!

We came with a party of six which included four adults and two children. This was our first time at The Highlander. It was packed when we got there which is usually a good sign that they have good food and or drinks. There was a short wait but it was less than 10 minutes.
We started with four appetizers including the fried pickles which were perfect for any pickle lover. The mozzarella logs were amazing! I could have probably ordered that just for a meal. There was a seasonal selection menu that included yellow fin tuna and avocado which was so delightful and plated perfectly. We also got a pound of peel and eat shrimp with their house made cocktail sauce. The sauce was light with plenty bite due to the grated horseradish.
As for the entrees they too did not disappoint.. The chicken and waffles were a showstopper. You better bring a huge appetite if you plan to finish it. It has two full chicken breast perfectly seasoned and fried, sandwiched between 3 fluffy waffles that seemed to have a sweet crunch to them as well. It’s also had crispy/candied style bacon and a cup of bourbon, orange maple syrup that was delightful. It was the best chicken and waffles I have ever eaten, hands down!
The chicken fried chicken was huge and juicy! It was paired with homemade red mashed potatoes, green beans and white gravy. I was told it was the best chicken fried chicken she’s ever had.
My brother ordered the Philly and fries, he said it was probably in the top 3 phillys he’s ever had.
My girlfriend got The Highlander pie. It was rich, cheesy and creamy topped with red mashed potatoes and cheese. It came in a piping hot cast iron skillet adding to the presentation.
The youngest had a plain burger and fries. He ate all of it so it must have been good usually he wastes a bit.
The cocktails were fairly priced and they had some unique options. Including a green tea mule which was delightful.
We really enjoyed our experience! Amazing food with large portions and amazing service. If you are in the Ozarks this is a most stop restaurant!!

These folks took a boring old strip mall space and truly turned it into a pub space. It’s awesome on the inside. Service was friendly, accurate, just great. The food was phenomenal. We had the Highlander pie aka Shepherd’s pie. We had one of the seasonal specials the Rachel. Both were fabulous and really nice sized portions. You won’t be disappointed. Also for any whiskey drinkers go on Wednesday they have flight specials.

Amazing service. Great atmosphere. Loud but not to the point you couldn’t hear the rest of your table. Food was yummy. We spent $60 on two people. That was 2 meals, an appetizer and one dessert. Took a picture, sorry we already started eating before I took it.

When they say mozzarella log, they mean LOG. They are amazing though. The cheese is super gooey, the crust is super crunchy. It’s everything you want in a cheese log. And you get 3! I had to try the fish and chips because it’s one of my favorites. It was good. The fries are super delicious. Actually seasoned which I loved. The fish was good. Nothing special but good. The other half got the salisbury steak. O man was that good. All in all the food is very good. The waitress was super nice and on top of everything. Great place to eat.

We had a weekend getaway and stopped in for brunch. By far the best meal we had all weekend and the cheapest. Decorations are Irish pub with pictures of Highland cows. There were 11 of us 5 adults and 6 kids under 8 and all of our meals were hot and delicious. I don’t remember what the menu name was but it consisted of a large biscuit with sausage, bacon, scrambled eggs all smothered with sausage gravy and a side of the best home fries. The kid meal came with a good sized waffles with 2 dipping sauces, chocolate and maple a helping if scrambled eggs a strip of bacon, home fries and a drink.
We had eaten at several of the local restaurants in the area and this was the best meal we had. Restaurants in the area need to follow this example, I for one don’t mind paying for good food but I won’t go back to one where I’ve paid good money for poor quality food. This holds especially true for the kids meals, most restaurants don’t try very hard because kids usually don’t eat so they don’t complain about the quality.

We really enjoyed the food and drinks here. The Bloody Mary Bar is full of everything you need to make your drink as fancy as you’d like. The chicken and waffles was large enough to serve a small army. Service was prompt and atmosphere was enjoyable.

Awesome place, and wow, the Chicken & Waffles are AMAZING!! Fish & Chips were yummy, too. Loved the chips/fries! Looking forward to going back! Huge portions so either bring your appetite or plan on taking it home. Took the Chicken & Waffles home, and it reheated in the oven amazingly well for the next days meal.
