Highland Lunchonette

Only went once. Had the fish and chips which was served with a cup of clam chowder. I didn't care for the "chips" all that much mostly because l don't like the very crispy type. Some people like them crunchy so I won't take anything away for that reason. The only type of fries that l do like are the soft English style. The clam chowder was of the milk based type and was typical of this style of chowder. It was good but not extraordinary. The fish itself was good, but here again not extraordinary. I ordered the medium size and the portion was quite generous. The coleslaw was very good but would have liked a bit larger portion. The coffee was excellent. Went a second time and this time had breakfast which they do serve all day. It was very good. The home fries had a bit of onion in them which I like so if you don't like onion in your home fries you might want to pick them out or skip them altogether. I don't know if they offer something else like hash browns, etc. The coffee is excellent and I would say it's the best diner style coffee in town. If you prefer a bolder Starbuck's type of coffee then head on over to Assonet Roasters in Assonet, but be warned that they only accept cash and have a limited menu. They do serve breakfast all day as well but are only opened until 2:00 p.m. I would probably frequent Highland Luncheonette more often if it weren't for their limited parking. I would estimate that you could squeeze maybe a half dozen compact cars if they all parked straight. There are no yellow lines that delineate the parking spaces. The service is prompt and friendly.
