About the restaurant

Welcome to Highlander House Restaurant and Bar. Our beautiful restaurant attracts our clients with unique styles, friendly atmosphere, and delicious food. The name of the restaurant was greatly influenced by our family's roots, which are originated from the mountains in Poland.

The style of the restaurant consists of many of souvenirs, wooden decorations, regional costumes, and traditional instruments to give our guests that authentic atmosphere. Dishes are prepared from scratch according to recipes originating from the south region of Poland called Podhale.

We offer regional and traditional Polish cuisine. Our European plate, sauerkraut soup, sheep cheese soup, unique taste of lamb plate and pork shank ranks highest in popularity amongst our guests.

Every Sunday we have live entertainment featuring Polish Highlanders. With the help of our friendly staff and delicious food, we hope you continue to come back and visit us at Highlander House.

Space is very clean with nice decor. Lively a little noisy. Food is good. It’s obvious they prepare everything in house. Very authentic Polish atmosphere and food, with reasonable prices. Had the European plate which was very good. Cold side i chose the horse radish beets. They are So Good! Love their Sauerkraut too. Haven’t tried the steaks so can’t comment on those but they do offer several grilled meats. The beer is Cold and the glasses are Spotless! Service was Extremely Freindly, & Helpful.

The food was average. Actually, the honey crispy chicken was overcooked. The wait staff was attentive and friendly. Noise and ambiance was good.

First time eating at Jo Jo’s. Food was very good. Service also was very good. Price is on the higher side. But we had a coupon that helped to reduce the cost. Will go back again.

About the restaurant

Time counts at BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse. Since our humble beginnings back in 1978, we’ve continued to refine our brewhouse experience to make BJ’s a place where you can make the most of any meal. We want BJ’s to be a place where the moment you leave is the moment you plan on coming back.

We pride ourselves in our craft and attention to detail. Our guests come here for our award-winning handcrafted beer. They come here for the Southern California twist we’ve put on the Chicago-style deep dish pizza. And they come here for our Pizookies®, our world-renowned dessert. But above all we know people come here to make their good times better.

So in many ways we haven’t just crafted a brand, but a mindset. And our guests are the reason for this. And it’s because of them we’re continually striving to make sure every moment they choose to spend with us counts.

Welcome to BJ’s, a restaurant with a Brewhouse soul.
