“The burgers are tinny, we got the Jamz and the Smokey… we couldn’t distinguish among them. The wait was about 15-20 minutes from the time we placed the order until it was brought to our table. Flavor was good tho, but be prepared for a very small portion. The pictures were completely deceiving.”April 2026

“Then, I assume the shift leader, asked us about our opinion about the cola they serve. It's a new and local product. I would say it's ok but I'm very sensitive when it comes to the taste of sweeteners, which is very present with this cola.”

Validate parking. If your bill reaches AED 100, ask about validation: one review says it provided three hours of free parking.
Expect smaller burgers. If you have a large appetite, plan around the reported smaller portions and consider adding fries.
Check orders. Vegetarians should confirm the patty before eating, after one review reported a beef patty arriving in a veggie-burger order.
Customise sides. You can ask for small adjustments; one group requested chicken-wing sauce on the side and a burger cut into four.
Allow waiting time. Allow roughly 15–20 minutes for food during a slower visit, based on one review’s reported wait.

Several diners found the burgers smaller than expected, with one calling the portions very small despite good flavour.
A negative review found the patty too thin to taste clearly and said the burger broke apart while eating.
One diner considered more than AED 120 for two burgers, fries and a soft drink expensive.
Service appears inconsistent: one review described delayed attention and later being asked for a review while still eating.
A vegetarian diner reported receiving a beef patty instead of the requested veggie burger and said the issue was not handled well.
The Bottom Line
High Joint Bluewaters is a burger stop on Bluewaters Island where the food is matched with a lively, carefully designed setting and views towards the Ain Wheel. The menu includes the High Burger, truffle burger, chicken burger and a vegetarian halloumi katsu burger, so there is more choice than a basic beef-burger run. Reviews often describe the burgers as juicy, flavourful and well prepared.
Sides matter here. Vinegar fries are a particular talking point, while sweet potato fries, loaded fries and chicken wings also appear in customer orders. Milkshakes get praise for taste, although one diner felt the drink looked larger in photos than it was in person.
Staff are often described as attentive and accommodating; one group had a burger cut into four and wing sauce served separately, while another received a colouring page for a child. There are a few cautions. Multiple diners found the portions smaller than expected, and one felt the patty was too thin.
Pricing can also feel high: a review put two burgers with fries and a soft drink above AED 120. Service is not completely consistent, with one report of being overlooked while later diners were served. Vegetarians should check the patty carefully after a reported beef-for-veggie order error.
For parking, a review says bills of AED 100 or more can qualify for three hours’ validation.
