A little bit of history...
High’s Restaurant resides in one of Highland County's oldest buildings, erected at the center of Monterey's main street in 1901. Once a saloon and brothel, High's continues to be a special social gathering place for locals and travelers alike.
Since the turn of the last century, High’s Restaurant has evolved into an eclectic American diner, serving a wide range of meals from American comfort food to chef-prepared specialty entrees. Many of the county's locals depend on High's for nearly every meal, which is why our Chef prepares dishes using only the highest quality ingredients, including Himalayan salt, unbleached flour, and nitrate-free hot dogs.
High's is open for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner. For dessert, we offer homemade pies and cakes, as well as premium hand-dipped ice creams. Nostalgia lovers enjoy our old-fashioned 1950’s counter service, where we prepare for them customized Banana Splits, Sundaes, Shakes, Floats, and our exclusive Fire and Ice Cream (a huge ice cream dish that is set ablaze without melting the creamy goodness underneath).
You too can become part of High’s history by memorializing your signature onto our wooden bench seats. Autographs that still remain legible date back to the early 1950's. Our guests tell us that much of the fun in visiting High's comes from witnessing the signatures and drawings of their friends and family members who have come to Monterey before and documented their presence with a sharpie at the famous Highland County staple.
The Liar's Table
As they have for over 60 years, a group of the same Highland County residents let themselves into High's each morning, often before the restaurant staff arrives, to prepare their own coffee, sit down with one another, and chum about. The townsfolk have notoriously pegged the table at which they sit as "the Liar's Table," by virtue of the often-fabricated stories they exchange with one another. In celebration of these locals and the lies they tell, we offer all of our guests a chance to win FREE food, shirts, hats, or other memorabilia for their participation in our exclusive “Liar’s Table” competition. To take part in the competition, simply come in, have a seat, enjoy a good meal, and share with us your greatest lies. Those who share with us what we believe to be the best lies win.
The fun starts every morning at 11:00! We can't wait to see you at High’s!
