What User likes about Highwater Tavern:
I had a great experience at this restaurant. The fish roast was large and fresh, with a huge piece of fish, large French fries, and delicious coleslaw. The price was very reasonable and the staff, especially Tjess, were excellent. Thank you for a wonderful meal. View all feedback.

What Rocky M doesn't like about Highwater Tavern:
This neighborhood restaurant offers delicious food and wings at affordable prices. They have a deck for smokers to enjoy. Just note that there is no music, except for the jukebox where you can pay a dollar to select a song. View all feedback.

We love the burgers and friendly staff at this restaurant. It's great to have another option in our community for delicious food at an affordable price.

Delicious burgers, pretzels, wings and chicken strips.
