Unfortunately, we had a very disappointing experience at High Alpine Brewing…read more We chose this brewery because we thought it was pet friendly, especially since they have a large outdoor upstairs patio. When we arrived, we were initially told dogs weren't allowed. I explained that our dog is extremely well-behaved and simply lays quietly under the table. The hostess said that was fine and seated us at a table right next to the outdoor area. After we sat down, three different employees approached us asking whether our dog was a service animal, even though another staff member had already approved her being there. By that point, we felt singled out and uncomfortable. The final employee was particularly rude and suggested we could tie "it" to a tree if we wanted to eat there. Referring to our dog as "it" and suggesting we leave her tied outside was shocking and unnecessary. Rather than continue feeling unwelcome, we decided to order a pizza to go. We had planned to stay for drinks, appetizers, and dinner, but instead we ate in our car. The prosciutto pizza was decent, but it was much saltier than we expected. At that point, we were just hungry and wanted to leave. What was most disappointing wasn't the dog policy itself--businesses are absolutely entitled to set their own policies. It was the inconsistent communication and the way we were treated after being told it was okay to stay. Instead, the experience left us feeling embarrassed and unwelcome. Unfortunately, we won't be returning.

Upgrade your order to the sweet potato tots, don't even hesitate, they're healthy and come with a mustard seed aioli sauce that makes the whole meal 360 degrees of scrumptiousness.

There's a bar upstairs with ample seating inside and out on their deck which over looks the Main Street and sidewalk. They also have a pool table and a few tv's with sports on. It has a laidback vibe upstairs. The servers I had on both nights were girls and kept watch on glasses to be refilled and then to check if there was anything needed. I enjoyed a prime rib steak on a Friday and then on Sunday I had the Alfredo with chicken. Both dishes were cooked well and flavorful as you'd expect. I've read a lot of reviews and I could see when things get busy the servers could start to lose their attention to all the tables they are over. The kitchen from what I've seen was consistently putting out good food. The only complaint I have and it's aimed at the owners is why do you charge/force a 3.5% fee/extortion on each bill/check to your customers... it's not Las Vegas and that's the only place where I've seen it constantly pushed, however in Las Vegas you can request it be removed and it is. Your establishment does give discounted options- like on debit cards you give a demand a smaller fee - to be totally fee free of demands/extortion you must pay cash...

I got mushrooms on the side, and it's great to see a place that serves mushrooms without onions, since I don't like onions. My wife got the burrata appetizer as a meal and raved about it the entire time. I'd go here again. In fact, I'd make this a regular rotation stop if I lived there.

We decided to try 5Bs Barbecue based on other reviews and word of mouth, so we took the family out for a meal. The menu had a decent selection, though the kids' menu seemed a bit lackluster. For example, one chicken strip with fries for $8 felt overpriced. We ordered two brisket plates, each with two sides. I specifically asked for fatty brisket on mine, and we also got a two-meat plate with pulled pork and brisket for the kids to share, along with a grilled cheese from the kids' menu. The orders came out in a respectable amount of time, but unfortunately, the portions were less than expected. Both brisket plates were fatty, which was fine for me, but my wife did not enjoy hers as she had not ordered it that way. Oddly, the two-meat plate came with lean brisket instead. The brisket itself was moist and tender, but it lacked flavor. My wife ended up not eating hers due to the excess fat. The sides were a mixed bag. The fries and mac 'n' cheese were good, but the coleslaw had a strange aftertaste, and the potato salad was excessively wet and lacked flavor. The meat plates also came with pickles, fresh jalapenos, and pickled onions. While the pickles and jalapenos were fine, the pickled red onions were surprisingly bland. On a positive note, the kids enjoyed their meal, but overall, I wouldn't return or recommend this place. Despite the decent service, the food quality just didn't meet our expectations. read more

We had 5 B's Barbecue cater our Western Night after our wedding, and they were absolutely amazing! Drew, the owner, is incredibly kind and went above and beyond to make everything seamless. Coming from Texas with mostly Texan guests, our barbecue standards are high and 5 B's far exceeded them. The brisket was melt-in-your-mouth perfection, the sides were delicious, and our guests are still raving about the food. If you want phenomenal barbecue and a team that truly cares, look no further than 5 B's! read more
