Highland Kitchen

Highland Kitchen specializes in comfort food , a lively ambiance, and strong cocktails . Try the spicy goat stew and the housemade ginger beer (also spicy ). [Eater 38 Member]

A++ from the delicious comfort food to the incredible staff ! Start w/ oysters , buffalo Brussels Sprouts and local beer on tap . The black bean burger is delish as well as the bolognese w/ truffle oil .

Bluegrass Brunch ! Where else could you find live banjo, fiddle, and guitar on the menu but at Highland Kitchen's Sunday brunch ? Put some south in your mouth with an order of shrimp and grits . Read more

"This is the best fried chicken around. It's a Monday night special . Also try the "Buffalo fried Brussels sprouts " or the chicken liver toast ." Chef Joshua Breen Read more

The kale and ancient grains salad is possibly one of the best things I have ever eaten. Top off the meal with a side and a drink, especially love the Dorchester, and I am as happy as a clam .

Highland Kitchen has soul. You can taste it in the seafood gumbo , brimming with okra and andouille . A real neighborhood hangout, with solid bartending , good food, and a relaxed vibe . Read more

Brunch is available only on Sundays. They dont take reservations . You need to get in line before it opens at 11am. Pancakes are to die for. I will come back for lunch/dinner

Wow — the Buffalo Brussels Sprouts are a must try! This vegetable will never be the same!

Bethere by 10:45 for brunch . Wait in line til 11am for doors to open.... into heaven! Perfect pancakes , best blackened catfish sandwich anywhere and order a ‘biggie’, a pint sized mimosa !

Everything! Eat it all... spicy buffalo chicken , garlic mashed ... And service is great and totally nice about allergies. They have a gluten free menu , too.

Everything we eat is awesome. Get the specials because they are always changing and always great. Get there at 5 or after 9:30 if you don't want to wait on Saturday.

A year later, I still dream of the amazing meatloaf I had here. Also, the buffalo brussel sprouts are the best chicken wings I ever had. And I don't even like brussel sprouts !

Not to pile on, but the buffalo brussel sprouts *are* that good. Bolognese is delicious. Try and save room for dessert . Banana bread pudding is heaven.

I've only heard good things I was impressed! The homemade potato gnocchi were like soft potato pillows in my mouth that sat in this rich concentrated stew broth. It went perfectly with a beer . Yum!

Joe is one of my favorite bartenders in the world & the Mark & Stormy* is beyond good. (*Makers Mark , homemade ginger-chili simple syrup , & soda ) Try the Buffalo Brussel sprouts & be prepared to wait.

(Best of Boston 2013-SOMERVILLE) Improper Bostonian says, "'Bar ' food at these prices has no business tasting so outstanding. Whether it's the spicy coconut curried goat stew or the jambalaya ..."

Carrot & turnip soup (special), mussels (delicious coconut-lobster broth), clams , black bean burger - just plain awesome - and of course, banana bread pudding . So glad we finally came here!

Sparkie, if you not at the Highland Kitchen on Mon. nite eating fried chicken .... your in the wrong damn place!! As they say in Hawaii....Ohno-lishious!!! I lived in New Orleans, try Jambalahya!

Great burgers and seasonal dishes . Great alcohol selection!!! One of the best team of bartenders in Boston!

I get the hype - casual decor, live music , laid back vibe for Sunday brunch . But the food wasn't up to the mark - the deviled eggs , catfish , shrimp . Nothing made us want to come back for more.

The immense popularity of this quasi-neighborhood joint means there's a wait at 6pm on a Sunday. Order a plate of (3) deviled eggs from the bar to keep your hunger in check.

I could probably eat a whole meal of just the appetizers . Listen to everyone and get the buffalo Brussels sprouts .

Good southern food ! And get "The Biggie" mimosa . It's $2 more than the regular mimosa , instead of a champagne glass its in a pint glass !

The cocktails were amazing, and the chicken fried pork was good, but whatever was on the gluten free menu that my friend had was..... About as tasty as dishwater.

Interesting twists on traditional American fare - I loved my goat stew and the fried ricotta/mozzarella balls even more.

moonlighting as highland chicken during the covid season... highly recommend regardless of the menu theme ????

i can't say enough wonderful things about my favorite neighborhood spot . food and service are beyond amazing.

Order the buffalo fried brussel sprouts . Sounds strange, but you won't regret it. All the amazing taste of buffalo wings with the complex texture of brussel sprouts .

Great food, great drinks, but the best part are the bartenders . I would come back again and again for them. Extra points for remembering my name.

They have deviled eggs and hush puppies … What more could you want??? Oh, and of COURSE their bartenders are stellar and make the most exceptional bevvies!!!

Best Cuban Reuben I've ever had :D

Buffalo Brussels! Fun laid back atmosphere , comfort food for reasonable prices!

House made ginger beer is incredible. Actually everything was incredible. Definitely coming back.

Great neighbourhood bar and restaurant . Impeccable cocktails and tasty food selection.

Buffalo Brussels sprouts to start and their famous goat stew to finish. Do it. You know you want to.

Buffalo Brussels! Laid back atmosphere , comfort food for a reasonable price!

Comfort food at it's best, mean drinks! Get ready to stand in line surrounded by a hipster crowd

Buffalo brussel sprouts were pretty good but the Cuban Reuben was amazing! Excellent service too!

The service was absolutely phenomenal and the steak and mussels I had both tasted great with good portions.

Great cocktails . Best karaoke I've experienced. Buffalo Brussels sprouts are incredible.

Everything here is amazing. Live music sessions. Brunch is amazing but can get busy!

Speaking as a former NC resident, this is the best pulled pork sandwich I've had in New England. Vinegary and delicious!

Favorite restaurant in Somerville. So so so good. Best homemade veggie burger I've ever had.

Spicy Goat Stew . Legendary, incredibly flavorful, and can be prepared extra hot if you like to sweat while eating. Delicious. Eat.

Goat stew is fire! Both because it's has a bit of a kick to it and cause it's delicious

Awesome service. fried cheese balls, buffalo brussel sprouts . Mmm. Great drinks. Great atmosphere. Best of Somerville

Great spot. Apparently it's the Belgian way to pour your beer with 50% foam.. So if you order a Duvel and it's full of foam, just think of it as authentic .

I never comment about staff , but omg, the bartenders take such good care of you! Putting them down as my emergency contacts on all future documents.

Everything about this place is delicious and worth the food coma after.

Great rotating beers , cozy vibe, friendly waiters , and delicious food.
