What People Are Saying About Highlander Pub and Restaurant
Featured Review

In Short – This small, dark and masculine pub at Rush Creek Golf Club serves dinner daily, but uses an expansive banquet room for their equally large Sunday brunch. Their inventive turns on staple dishes--smoked duck quesadillas, pretzel-crusted walleye pike--have raised alarms with the clientele's classic palettes but keeps the foodies interested. Brunch has a theme every month, but always feature filet mignon and a create-your-own omelet station, with ingredients like wild rice, salmon and sun-dried tomatoes.

Good food, slow service
by jra241 at Citysearch
Went for first time after reading good reviews. Food was good but service was slow. A wedding reception seemed to absorb the wait staff. Charlie's Exceptional Steak entree and chili were excellent. Salads were tasty also. However, entrees arrived 3 minutes after salads / soups; hadn't finished the salads yet. Tap beers were not available due to broken CO2 system. Ran out of Newcastle bottled beer. Second brandy and soda took 25 minutes. Took a long time to get the check. Server apologized frequently for poor service. Poor lighting on patio after sunset. We were told light bulbs were burnt out; had to request candles. Our impression was that, with the exception of the kitchen, the restaurant was poorly managed. It is a great setting but improvements are badly needed in the area of service if they expect to gain and retain customers.
- Pros: Food
- Cons: Service

Great patio atmosphere!
by jsmccann at Citysearch
The Highlander patio is the best-kept secret of Maple Grove dining. Forget the overcrowded "restaurant row" and sit outside with a glass of wine and enjoy the sunset and GREAT FOOD. I've had several entrees, and you can't go wrong with the steaks, walleye, or great burgers!
- Pros: Great food, ambience, and friendly waitstaff.
- Cons: A little off the beaten path, but worth the drive!

Best Steak...best everything!
by dmsgordon at Citysearch
My husband has been a cardholder at Rush Creek for a number of years, at least once a week he plays the course and my son and I meet him for dinner. My usual fare is the Charlie's Exceptional Steak....the name says it all! Who needs Manny's or Murray's when you can get a great steak dinner for such a resonable price. I suggest the sweet potato souffle for your potato choice...fantastic as well!
The service is top notch. The waitstaff are friendly and many great us by name (in fact most of them remember my order down to how I like my steak prepared).
We were so impressed by the food and service my husband and I were married and hosted our reception there.
TOP NOTCH!
- Pros: great food, great service, great view !
- Cons: Can't think of one!

A "Gimme" for Birthday and Anniversary Dinners
by braskabry at Citysearch
A great getaway with romantic views and a wonderful fireplace. The prices are reasonable and the food (especially the Prime Rib) is as good as anything you will find NW of the cities.
We are there at least once a month

Great service, great food, view is fantastic and personnel are very friendly.
by codie1 at Citysearch
The view from the resturants is very impressive. We eat there a number of times during the year and the food has always been great, prompt service and the personnel are very warm and friendly. There is no better place to go for a Sunday Brunch. Even with the high volume of people served, food quality and service is not affected. Oustanding.
