Highlanders Grill & Tavern is a well-established restaurant and bar located in the heart of the High Country, minutes from Banner Elk, Beech Mountain, and Sugar Mountain ski resorts. Highlanders has built a loyal local following and strong tourist traffic as a go-to spot for craft beer, American comfort food, and a warm, welcoming mountain-tavern atmosphere. The restaurant is pet-friendly, family-friendly, and known for its scratch kitchen and hometown hospitality.
