Highside Brewing was lackluster per my experience. Service and food were both underwhelming. Service was slow and unenthusiastic. Food was plain... meat was dry... I really felt like the food we received could be replicated by some college guys in their dorm. The one silver lining was their beer. I wouldn't come again. ‍ read more

For several years now Highside has been my favorite brewery in the whole state. For a lot of reasons: -Great beer (i'd argue the best in terms of taste and variety) -Great atmosphere -Great food Having asaid all that, we recently came in over the weekend and the service was pretty terrible. I virtually never tip less than 20% and I only tipped 15% that day, it was so bad. The waitress was dismissive, was rushing our order, was rude about things on the menu (we asked if a side was available and she responded "If its not on the menu, we don't have it."), and seemed generally annoyed that we were even there. I love this place so much I'm still giving it five stars but I was pretty turned off by this experience. it was the worst service I've had at any restaurant in months. I hope they don't turn this into a repeat. Still great food and beer though. read more

We LOVE Highside! We always make a point to stop whenever we're done with skiing for the day. I love the steak sandwich with chimichurri, but you really can't go wrong! The beers are rotating and are always good! read more

We enjoyed Highside so much until they remodeled and removed the kitchen. Used to have the best BBQ (loved the nachos!) but the last 3 times we've been in, the food has been wayyy below par and once actually inedible. Something about the food truck system is not working in my opinion. Beer is always good but with such inconsistent food quality, we won't be stopping in. Hopefully they get it figured out as I'd so be happy to see a return of the BBQ options we once loved! read more

We absolutely adore this place! Have been here a dozen times with the pup for happy hour drinks and yummy flat breads and fries! You can play games, hang after skiing, and most importantly bring your pup! Love the beers they are excellent. And you can tell the people who work there truly care about the business. Love it love it! read more

4.5/5 stars, our food was ready surprisingly quickly and was delicious. We arrived around 4 pm after a day on the slopes and this was the perfect amount of food. There is a fun atmosphere and I bet during peak hours, it's quite busy. Would be a fun place to return to and hang out upstairs by the barcade. read more

Great beer AND great food, not to mention the service was so friendly and attentive. My husband and I both loved the Frisco Chile Beer. They've got a great space with lots of big tables, which was perfect for our big group. Highly recommend and will definitely be back next time we're in town! read more

Stopped in here with a friend on the way back to Denver after a backpacking trip. Our main concern was finding outdoor seating; another place up the street had a long wait and was a bit more cramped, so we were happy to discover that the Highside had outdoor seating immediately available and that their tables were adequately spaced. Luckily for us we were under the overhang, so when it started to rain, we didn't have to move! We were approached by a server right after snagging our seats, but I needed a minute to look over the digital menu before making a selection. Once I had, it took a while to flag her down again. She was just clearly busy. I ended up going with the Calm the Farm Down and a Smoked Pulled Pork Sandwich, and my friend opted for the CO Strong Pale Ale with the Brisket Sandwich. They accidentally switched our orders, so my first sip was of the Pale Ale and I thought, well that is quite an odd tasting Farmhouse! We did a quick "are you okay with drinking from this glass I just drank from" and were cautious to drink from the opposite side.. you can't be too careful right now with this COVID business. I wasn't feeling very hungry upon arrival (sometimes when I exert myself, it does the opposite to my appetite than you would guess), but as soon as I smelled the food and took my first bite, it was exactly what I wanted in that moment. Deliciously juicy pork with the perfect slaw, that despite having jalapeños was not spicy, and an ample side of potato salad. I managed to eat the entire thing and had a satisfied tummy. Parking is available in the lot behind the building or on the street. I can't comment on the inside as did not enter, but my friend took a quick bathroom break and did not mention anything was off. Service was friendly, if a bit slow, but we were in no rush as were trying to let some of the I-70 traffic die down before getting back on the road. Would definitely stop by again if in the area. read more

Decent BBQ like always. The service is very fast and convenient. Collard Greens are delicious. I still miss Q4U, but this is my go-to in Summit County now. read more

Awesome! After skiing at copper wanted to stop by and have food and drink on the way home. Was great place and awesome food! We are upstairs and loved the ambiance. Amazing nachos, bbq, salad and great drinks! We had the Paloma with silver tequila and and tanjin and was delicious! Huge selection of awesome beer too and great brewery! Must stop and can't wait to be back! read more

beer quality: 5 stars staff: 5 stars atmosphere: 5 stars We went on a Friday, late after after a hike in Dillion. The bar tender let us try a few different beers (including the Frisco Chile, spicy people you'll enjoy) before we settled on a few. We were able to sit outside and enjoy the patio while sipping on these beers. You can easily park in the parking lot in front of the bar. The bar was clean as well as the restrooms. The bartenders were extremely accommodating and allowed us to taste any beer we wanted before purchasing. Also, they're part of the Craft Tapped bars if you subscribe to that! Would highly recommend after biking or hiking. read more

We have been coming to Frisco for years and have seen this property go through many changes. The current incarnation is the best. The down-stairs is dog-friendly bordering on dog-required. The upstairs has a full bar and is dog-free. We're not really pet people so we opted for upstairs which proved to be lucky for the double-rainbow we treated to at the end of the meal. I have been to many many brewpubs in my life and the beer at Highside blew me away. Apparently they got a new brewmaster not to long ago and he is killing it. Both beers I had were Belgian influenced. The Belgian Blonde was one of the best ales I have ever had. It was light in color and body which really allowed the flavors from the Belgian yeast to shine through. The Belgian IPA was very good as well. The food is a notch or two above the pub-grub I was expecting. The ribs I had were most delicious. read more

Was surprised it wasn't too busy to find seating for our family of 12. We were at separate tables, but close enough with the outdoor seating. The tables had fire tops and as soon as we set down, the propane ran out. The owner ran right out to get more propane and got us warmed up in short order. The beer was very good and the food was GREAT! The hot links, and meat candy were yummy and the brisket was amazing. read more

Their dunkel, coffee flavored beer, is excellent! Offers tastings before committing to a beer even during Covid. Big space indoors and outdoors so social distancing is easy. Beers on tap, food is decent. Got their pastrami sandwich - loads of meat! Their dip was great but it tasted better with the carrots and celery than the crackers. They just use Ritz crackers. So when I order again I'll ask to substitute the crackers for more vegetables. read more

Beers were great. I had a Hazy that I really liked and my sister had the ginger sour that was good. Food was okay. We had the barbeque nachos with added brisket and the Al pastor tacos. The nachos could have used more brisket considering we paid extra for it. read more

Highside Brewing is fantastic! We stopped in for a beer and a snack and everything was so.darn.good. The pink lemonade sour beer and brisket tacos were exactly what we needed. Friendliest service and great atmosphere. Will definitely be back. read more

I love this place. Dog friendly inside and out. Try their lemon lime soda with a blonde beer, so awesome for summer! The tacos are great as is the service. read more

We went to Highside in Frisco. Loved the atmosphere, so many people had their well behaved, beautiful dogs, good live music, nice beer variety. We all ordered brisket. Mine had more fat than I like. There was no issue getting pulled pork instead and it was fantastic. The sides are large enough to share for 2. read more

Friendly staff great varieties of brew selection all created on site. Also a nice food menu.

What a great little hidden gem in Frisco! And by that, I mean it's literally kind of hidden, tucked away off of the main street. I've driven up to Frisco a bunch of times for lunch and wouldn't have known it was there if I hadn't specifically looked up a barbecue place on Yelp (my mom had a craving). Our server was great, they have a nice sunny patio where we could sit outside with our pups, and my mom and I were both SO positively surprised by how good the food was. We both ordered the pulled pork sandwich and absolutely devoured them both...such delicious smokey meat, crisp spicy coleslaw, and good traditional bbq sides. Will be keeping this one on the list for my next trip to town! read more

Went to this spot right after a nice kayak tour...safe to say it was a pleasant surprise. The nachos WITH brisket are a must! The brisket will cost you a little extra but it is absolutely worth it. I ended up ordering the brisket sandwich with a side of coleslaw. They do brisket right here! Brisket can be kind of a gamble, but it was sooo tender and juicy. I swapped half of my sandwich for my buddy's pulled pork sandwich and you can't go wrong with that either. The sandwich isn't the prettiest, but it tastes good. The coleslaw was such a pleasant surprise...jalapeño garlic flavored! Not your typical sweet coleslaw so keep that in mind if you get it as a side or a sandwich. The beer selection was great as well. Wonderful stouts! read more

We can here after skiing, and the beer was good... BUT the food was TERRIBLE. Don't spend 13 dollars and give me half ounce of meat with no cheese on my tacos... my girlfriends Salad didn't come with dressing and I could have made it in my sleep. So disappointed. EVEN the bartender told us while ordering the food wasn't good. That really tells you something! If you want just a beer, it's great, but DO NOT order food from here. I have great hopes for this place! And just hope they can get the food right. read more

My family of five ate lunch here yesterday afternoon. We ordered the smoked chicken legs on the appetizer menu and some chips an queso. All five of us have been sick with food poisoning for the past 24 hours. The service was terrible as well. Ever again. Never ever ever again. read more

Restaurant was less than half full and took over an hour to get food and only half of what was ordered came out and was all cold. Had to ask for silverware, sauce for bbq, etc. read more

I stopped by for a beer and appetizer. I ordered the pretzel knots that were $10 and a beer. The beer was good but the pretzel knots were absolutely tasteless. The bottoms were burnt and pretty much tasted like bland bread. Had no resemblance to pretzels. Nearly $20 for plain. Won't be back. read more

Highside Brewing has a new location in Fairplay, and it is dog friendly and great! They have a large inside and outside space and convenient parking. The outside space has beautiful views south and west. Inside is a pool table and pin ball machines. The beer is very, very good. I am a fan of the Colorado blonde beers; Ska True Blonde, TrVe Skullseeker Blonde, and now Frisco Gold. This blonde is light and flavorful and perfect. Highside Brewing will continue to be a place I visit when I am in Fairplay. read more

Place was empty and the staff was non attentive. We left before the experience worsened. read more

Would be zero stars....but have to click 1 Horrible service. Ordered beers along with our food. Proceeded to wait for bartender to take 3 more customers' order and pour their beers when I had to ask the second bartender to pour ours. Food came out approx 20 mins apart. We ordered two flatbreads and 2 salads. Had to remind them about the second order (the second pizza and salad) Not too hard... read more

We were greeted at the door by a super cute girl who gave us a brief lay of the place. We chose casual dining upstairs. The food was ok especially the Chili was yum. Their coffee pot was broken. We didn't quit understand the whole serve yourself program. If I wanted counter order and pick-up I could have gone to Wendy's. Staff was pleasant. read more

We enjoyed our first visit tonight, but our dinners - tri-tip tacos and pulled pork sandwich - we're served cold. Our son's hot dog and baked beans were warm, but we had asked for mac-n-cheese for his side, not the baked beans. Overall the beers were good. We didn't like one, and it was exchanged for another. We really appreciated the dog-friendly location while visiting g Frisco! read more

Great atmosphere and awesome employees! They made the experience very enjoyable and were super personable! Highly recommend! The bbq is very good! read more

We stopped by for drinks this past Thursday afternoon. There was a good crowd inside when we arrived. No wait staff (that I could see) and a sign that said place orders at the bar. The problem was that the bar was totally full of people sitting on stools and we could not find a place to put in our order. When we were able to catch the bartender's eye (behind two guys sitting on top of a table butted against the end of the bar) I ordered a flight and my companions each ordered a pint. The beer was good. I especially liked the one with pepper. I loved that they allowed dogs and it looked like a fun place to hang out. They served food but I never did see a food menu anywhere. What I saw being taken out to tables looked good. read more

Great beer and great food upstairs. live music was good before the concert next door.

Came when the power was out around town. They didn't have food but offered us free beer to make up for the incident. Very sweet of them! Will definitely come back to try the food. read more

Let's be honest - all though Colorado may be the best state in the country, it is absolutely not the food state... With this being said, Highside Brewing is some of the best BBQ I think I've had in not only the Mountain West, but even smokes most places in the Midwest. The brisket is terrific and it what gives this place a 5 over a 4, is the bun they serve it on is also great. Nothing worse than great meat ruined by a cheap bun. Again, by far the best BBQ (maybe even food in general) I've had in Colorado this far. Brisket sandwich, beer cheese soup, and a red ale all just $28... not bad for a resort town. read more

tough and expensive brisket sandwich on a bad tasteless bun. the only reason we went to highside was for the Sunday Ticket but the manager with the "mirror sunglasses turned off the game and put on Red Zine which we could watch anywhere. Having grown up in Frisco and raised my family here, it is just such a bummer when people who recently moved here try to be "cool" and wrongly think that makes them seem more like a local. FYI, it does not make them local at all.... read more

You have to figure everything out on your own! There was a sign that said, "Sit wherever you like." All of the tables were dirty. We had to figure out where the menus were. We had to figure out how to order food by standing in line at the end of the bar. The establishment on their website claims how world famous the barbecue is... But it turns out it's just a bar that serves underwhelming food. We ordered the sliced brisket for $12.99. The portions came on small metal trays the size normally associated with a children's menu. The meat was very dry and chewy. We also ordered coleslaw that tasted like 2 Day old sliced cabbage with a dull bland flavored white dressing. I'm all for service dogs being allowed with owners. This food establishment allows all dogs regardless of training or grooming. To wrap things up, I paid $45 dollars at premier prices for what was basically less quality than a fast food unhappy meal. read more
