Highland Kitchen

Winter Hill’s southern-style eatery is worth the trek (literally uphill from pretty much anywhere) for the shrimp and grits, but if you’ve got a long afternoon to burn through we’d recommend trying a bit of everything, from buffalo-fried brussels sprouts and a killer pulled pork sandwich to the spicy coconut curried goat stew. The cocktail list is dominated with bourbon and gin, and ranges from old-school classics to local favorites and house-made concoctions. A respectable wine list plus a wide variety of local and imported beers are also available. Wednesday nights see one of the area's liveliest karaoke nights.
