Arlington Highlands

In the past, I’ve only been to the Highlands to visit the Improv, Pluckers, and Houlihans. at night. Yesterday, my friend and I came here for shopping and lunch. Coming here on a beautiful afternoon let me see it’s full potential. There’s alot of shops and restaurants that are easy to walk to. There were park benches to chill on. There were even some young boys playing catch lol I can say parking can be a little bit of a hassle. My friend and I ate at Pluckers which was pretty good.

Fairly nice shopping center, however for me it is unfriendly to pedestrians and the developer really missed an opportunity to make a great center.
Lots of shops and restaurants but you have to play frogger to go from one area to another. Southlake pulled it off better.

A large shopping center with everything you could possibly want! There are cheap clothes, expensive clothes, pet supplies, salons, home appliances, furniture, jewelry, a movie theater, a bunch of salons, tons of restaurants, small boutiques, places to hang out, whatever you want. My children love hanging out here unless it’s hot outside, then they’re complete whiners.
Christmas season parking is horrible here. If the Rangers or Cowboys are doing well, game day parking sucks too.

This is a tiny upgrade from Uptown Village in Cedarhill. I enjoy the Restaurants and shopping stores and even a few of the entertainment with Dave and Busters and Studio Movie Grill.
It had been a few locations that I miss that has come and gone such as Splitville and Bordeaux Seafood. Overall it is a nice area to come ND get a little shopping in and get a bite to eat and a nice stiff drink.
Then turn around and catch movie if that your desire for the day. I came here a lot when I had to bring my daughter to work but I did enjoy the shopping center and a place to go when I don’t want to head to uptown or deep ellum.

I love the store and all of their clothes, but I just got off the phone with one very rude woman who answered the phone as if she was bothered by the call. I just needed help locating the store as I’m not familiar with the Arlington area. She assumed I knew where all the stores were (if I did I wouldn’t be calling) and was short with me when I asked for a landmark or another store. She said we are next to Layne Bryant, it’s hard enough to find nice clothes to wear and when I have a specific place I like to go to and be treated like I am interrupting someone’s break it is very frustrating and it makes me not to ever want to go to that store or any location ever again sorry about the rant but I am really upset. Please hire people that will not only be nice to you when you purchase close because of the commission but also feel the same way when they are answering the phones.

Thank goodness for this location. We wanted drinks before the BAMA WI game and everything was packed by Jerry’s World. Über driver recommend heading in this direction. We obliged and drove here, 10 – 15 minutes and located BJ’s Brewhouse which solved our problems. Perfect place and many beer choices as well as drink choices everyone enjoyed. This is the place to go before a game. If you want to park and the Über then this is the way to go. Even in traffic you can get to the game in time.

Love this place. They took competitors coupons from 2 different stores along with their own! Awesome!

Unlike most people who live in the area, I’m not a big fan of the Highlands. However, if you look at my check-​ins you would think otherwise. What I do like about the Highlands is that there are many shops and restaurants in a central location. It’s a popular place to meet up with friends or go shopping plus it’s halfway between my job and home so I frequent this place quite often. The thing I dislike the most about the Highlands is the lack of parking. If you’re trying to go somewhere on a Friday or Saturday night at 7, you can forget it. Other than the parking, the Highlands is a decent outdoor shopping area. Well, when the temperature is not in the triple digits, that is.

The Highlands is a great alternative to the Parks Mall. You can get plenty of exercise walking around after a good meal at one of the many restaurants.
Definitely a one stop shop: shop for apparel, home, catch a movie, grab a bite to eat, & the Dave & Busters is pretty nice. It can get crowded on the weekends but not enough to give you a headache. In my opinion, the parking wasn’t planned too well but hey you can still manage to find a spot.
There are new shops frequently opening. It’s worth a trip.

High quality stores in an upscale outdoor lifestyle center. Adding new retailers all the time.
Parking design was not very thoughtful, but you can find a spot with some searching or walking.
Tons of restaurants in addition to shopping. So lucky to have this addition to Arlington.

I had never been here before so when I was in the area today I thought I would swing by and have a look at what all the hype is about. As soon as I pulled in the congestion of cars and NO places to park started. I personally don’t understand why construction companies and cities team together to put these shopping centers OUTSIDE. Yes texas has some nice weather, but most of the time it’s either windy, raining, or do darn HOT to walk around outside. I drove around the whole entire strip center and never even got out of my car. I couldn’t find anything I was interested in shopping for that I couldn’t find somewhere else.

Ah, the Arlington Highlands. Where suddenly, a small part of Arlington feels totally modern and fancy. And I’m not trying to imply that the rest of Arlington is gross; I actually love Arlington BECAUSE it’s old and diverse and full of interesting non-​chains. But the Highlands is a newer, cleaner, and fuller shopping center, and I find myself here relatively often. You know I can’t stay away from World Market. I just can’t!
In addition to the glorious World Market, the Highlands has a serious array of stores, restaurants, bars, and offices. I don’t know how they fit allllllll of these places into one shopping center. I mean, I know it’s huge, but still. Most of these places are chains, but good chains that are worth visiting again and again. Bath & Body Works, White House Black Market, BJs, Penzeys Spices, PF Changs, Gloria’s, Coldwater Creek, Bar Louie, Ann Taylor… I mean, the list goes on forever, just check out the Highland’s website, I can’t list them all here!
There are a few non-​chain spots hidden here as well, and that’s what I really love. Like Bella Vita Gourmet Olive Oil & Balsamics (this is the cutest little shop, and I looooove olive oils and vinegars. They do tastings!), India Grill (amazing), and IMPROV Comedy Club (haven’t been here yet, but plan on going). It’s nice to have a few one-​of-​a-​kind spots mixed into this gigantic shopping center of successful chains.
Parking here isn’t fantastic, but I’ve never had too big of an issue. Of course, I avoid shopping on weekends! Around Christmas time it’s absolutely NUTS, but I’d still rather brave the parking lots and walks than brave the mall. Duh! Plus, the grounds here are really beautiful. Plush grass, benches, clean sidewalks, great lighting, and beautiful Christmas decorations come the holiday season. :)

Everything I need in one location! I always feel like I’m winning when I make it there!

Beautiful little area for shopping and dining. A lot of choices and a nice little walk around as well!

There they go again forcing people to shop outside in the unbearably hot or cold Texas weather. Nonetheless, Arlington Highlands is a great multipurpose shopping center where you can find the latest trends for your home and wardrobe as well as get a bite to eat and catch some entertainment.
Entertainment with a side of food: Studio Movie Grill, Improv Comedy Club, Dave & Busters
Eats: Starbucks, Potbelly, Pluckers, Mimi’s Café, Houlihans, Chuys, Gloria’s, Which Which, McAllister’s Deli, Sushi, Pizza, Jenny Craig…
Home: BB&B, Kirkland’s, The Container Store, World Market
Fashion/​Beauty: Charming Charlie’s, Ulta, European Wax Center, Francesca’s, some little boutiques
And that’s just to name a few. You’ll find what you need here.
Parking can be quite a pain if you try to park directly in from of the stores, but there’s usually a ton of parking in the lot near Staples.

This strip-​or community-​or – plethora– of stores and restaurants never ceases to amaze me. If ever I’m googleing a store or restaurant, often times it ends up here. I’ve been going to Studio Movie Grill for a little bit, and Gloria’s too, and just a few weeks ago I realized Potbelly’s is in this plaza too. There’s so much variety and there are a few entertainment choices here too. Dave and Buster’s, Gloria’s salsa club, a comedy club, etc. I actually stumbled upon the Quality Inn there today when looking for a geocache.
A few notable businesses include World Market, The Container Store, Kirkland’s, McAlister’s, Joann Fabrics, Torrid, Lane Bryant, White House Black Market, Charming Charlie, Chuy’s, Francesca’s Collections, Genghis Grill, and many, many more.
The grounds are so pretty. There are benches and a few fountains, and everything is clean and well kept. Evenings here are fun, with lots of people bustling around to the different restaurants. This is a fun place to hang out, especially if you live in the area and don’t want to travel far to go out to eat or have a good time.

Parking sucks here!!! come early around 7 pm and stay late. This used to be the spot when I was in college but it went down the drain since it opened… A lot of the cool places went out of business like Splitsville. I only come for studio movie grill and pluckers to watch games. The bar scene is not what it used to be. Black fin started charging a fee to get in so I havent been in years!

Love this place! They have such a wide variety of stores and restaurants that I’m sure it could accommodate anyone. Favorite places are the little boutiques that have one of a kind clothes and accessories as well as Studio Movie Grill! Parking sucks on holidays and weekends but it’s not a major factor to not visit this place! Car pool or head out 5 minutes early if you must. If you know where you’re headed, drive straight to the place instead of going through the entire Highlands area– there’s probably 20 – 30 stop signs! Overall it’s a great place to shop, dine and even watch a movie!

Cute place to shop especially with francesca’s collections there, plenty places to dine including BJ’s, I am definitely a fan!

Love going here!!! They have everything here from sushi to wings to movies to bowling and of COURSE SHOPPING. Its the perfect area. They have Pluckers, Chuys, Piranha BJs to Indian grill… so much variety. Its does get crowded here and at times parking is hard. Girls night, date night… whatever it is The Highlands has it!
