The server recommended the turkey melt. In my mind, I was envisioning one thing, when I received the food it looked very different from what I was expecting, but my mouth loved it.

Decided to try this place because everything else on the main strip was packed or wasn't what we were looking for. We hopped in here and were pleasantly surprised to see interesting menu options (meatloaf sandwich). To be honest, an old menu item of duck egg rolls was what really called our attention but it was no longer featured. We had no problem finding other great choices. They also had happy hour specials on food that was priced just right! Our server was knowledgeable about the beer options which helped when wanting to pick something local.

Been here twice now, once in 2022 and now in 2024 and the food was solid both times. And when I say solid, the food is purely delicious. Very welcoming environment and friendly staff, and you can come in after a day of hiking or shopping and you’re guaranteed to get a tasty meal that fills you up for an affordable price. Always blown away by how amazing the food is here - nothing fancy or over the top - just great, solid food. I had the French dip and it was by far the best French dip I’ve ever had. The bread is the star of the show too. Highly highly recommend and don’t miss this place when you visit Highlands - hard to find incredible food like this at this price. Didn’t take picture because it was so good we ate right away!

One of the best meals on our trip. A local recommended this place and it did not disappoint. Ms. Sandy greated us soon after we sat down. This young lady new every thing that was on the menu, describing the ingredients, and the flavor. Hands down she's the best waitress we've ever had, and by far the most knowledgeable about how the food is prepared. My husband got the hamburger and I got the turkey club. We rated each a 10. Honestly, I don't usually get excited about a sandwich....but this one is different, better than any turkey sandwich you've ever had before, I promise you that! Loved the atmosphere. Definitely a place we will go back to!

The food was exceptional. It's off the strip. The tempura brussel sprouts pop. Live music on Thursday nights. The best main was the turkey melt. It was like eat smoked turkey if it was burnt ends. Exceptional. I had the cauliflower tacos with a side.of burnt broccoli. The tacos were full of flavor. Two was plenty. Our group enjoyed the fish 'n' chips, burgers, and tenders. The mixed drinks were also excellent.

The 4118 Burger was good, Reuben Sandwich was good, but bread was grilled a bit too long, so it was dry and brittle. The charcuterie board was good as well as avocado salad. Great service. Patty Melt was good, too, but it's the same issue as Reuben with the bread.
