I was craving a good steak and came across this casual, laid back steakhouse. After reading several…read morereviews praising their beer cheese and pretzels, I knew I had to find out for myself. I made a reservation, but when I arrived, only a few people were sitting at the bar, so I practically had the entire dining room to myself. Phyre is located on a quiet street just steps away from St. Cloud City Hall. The décor features black velvet booths, black chairs, and marble tables. It isn't fancy, but it has a cool, modern vibe. They even had a huge Christmas tree still on display, decorated in preparation for the Fourth of July, which definitely caught my attention. Allie was my host and server, and she was friendly, attentive, and welcoming throughout my visit. Every restaurant needs a Allie. She was amazing! If Phyre management reads this, she needs a raise. I mean absolutely wonderful service! I started with what they call the "Our Fashion" cocktail and their famous pretzels served with beer cheese . The cocktail was enjoyable, and I can see why the pretzels get so much attention. They were soft, warm, and fresh. I would have preferred a little less salt, but then again, it wouldn't really be a pretzel. The cheese sauce could have been hotter, but it was flavorful and paired well with the pretzels. For my entrée, I ordered the surf and turf featuring filet medallions, three crab-stuffed shrimp, and a side of garlic mashed potatoes. The food arrived surprisingly quickly, which I appreciated. The filet medallions were cooked to a perfect medium and had a nice slight crisp on the outside, although they weren't quite as hot as I would have liked. It was served towith a delicious wine sauce that really elevated the dish. The crab stuffed shrimp were flavorful, and the garlic mashed potatoes were a great complement to the meal. Overall, I enjoyed my Sunday dinner at Phyre. The service was excellent, the atmosphere was relaxed, and the food delivered a satisfying steakhouse experience. I'd definitely return to try more of the menu.

Hard to describe this place. It was decorated like an old time speakeasy. There was a pianist doing Billy Joel songs which was quite good. And the patrons here were top notch. Liked the tree they have up all year, the theme for February was Valentines. Frankie is the chef and she is making magic here. Had the short ribs and it came with rosemary and garlic mash and brussels. Can't believe how very delicious this was and it was 5 star quality and worth every penny of it's $36 price. One of the best meals I have had in months. The bananas foster cheese cake is to die for. Actually everything was great. The food, drinks and such friendly service. So in love with Phyre Brewery & Tavern. Crystal and Kristen were our bartenders. Kristen made a smoked old fashion which was awesome. It was a little on the sweet side, but definitely awesome. See the videos. They also have a Clydes old fashioned which is garnished with their phyre bacon. Aubrey and Allie were taking care of the tables, but got to meet them too and they were awesome. There is Karaoke here on Mondays... so definitely have to come back and check that out!

Great food I love the greasy burgers, but I don't love the price if they had better operation times where they can make up for their pricing I think would benefit them. I've never spent so much on just a drink alone at a restaurant, but I will tell you, the owners are quite friendly and very lovable. I don't have a problem supporting a small town business, but it's not a place that I'm gonna go too often. I'm raking my stars off of pricing and for the last two times I've been there. It just looked very grungy. This place needs a little lift me up in a deep cleaning.

I'm always up for trying new and different versions of desserts, especially ice cream! So when Joe…read moreK found out about this unique ice cream parlor that features liquid nitrogen as the star of the show, literally; I was curious and excited to see the process in action! The drive to get here from our vacation condo, was a little out of our way, and finding the shop in this small, lack luster strip mall made it also hard to find. The shop sign wasn't very bright, so we almost passed it by. Once we realized that we had found the place, I still wasn't sure what we were walking in to! As we entered, I felt like we were at a children's day care with colorful chairs, and white wooden picnic tables with toys and games strewn about. Children were present eating ice cream and playing board games. The ordering counter and kitchen behind it looked more like a children's science laboratory with a mostly sterile white and stainless steel appearance. The woman at the counter greeted us and explained how they make their concoctions. A wall menu is placed at one side of the room. They have a huge selection of ice cream flavors, along with whatever additions and toppings you could possibly think of! Your creations begin with a liquid ice cream base, measured and placed in a metal bowl. Then your flavor or flavor combinations, and possibly some food coloring are added a little at a time. The process continues as liquid nitrogen is released into the mixture with continuous stirring. Your extra ingredients are either poured or chopped up to be added. More liquid nitrogen is flashed in while the stirring continues until it firms up into a more solid form. Making a decision was difficult for me, so since I was in unfamiliar territory, I played it safe by ordering my usual favorite of chocolate chip mint. Joe was more of a dare devil, and chose a peaches, caramel, and graham crackers mixture. It seemed like a lot of time and work to make ice cream the hard way, but I must say, that our frozen creations were well worth the wait! I really enjoyed my special made mint ice cream which contained a lot more chocolate chips than what you would find at other average shops or grocery stores. I loved this new way of making ice cream the futuristic and scientific way, laboratory style! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_aTLHEXJ5z4

(EDIT: OK, guess they're not new - that's why they nailed it!) First off, the business right across from Gatorland, is in a tiny plaza and a small store. There's some beach chairs & a couple tables with some fun games on them. My fiancee and I kept playing a game where we pressed the alligator teeth, trying not to get bitten! On with the ice cream: it was plain yummy! I ordered raspberry ice cream, which they made by adding crushed up fresh raspberries to the cream base. Some Nutella and peanut butter cups made my ice cream delicious! My fiancee ordered mint ice cream with Oreos and M&Ms. The mint concentrate was dark green & added amazing flavor to her ice cream. It was a great all-around experience and we'll be back!

We happen to stumble upon Jimmy Bears BBQ and are glad we had the opportunity to try it! We came on a Friday night around 6pm, expecting the restaurant to be packed but as we walked in we quickly realized we were the only patrons there. During our time there we never saw anyone else come in either. We ordered our food to-go, and it came out relatively quickly! We felt the price was on par with similar restaurants, and very fair for the amount of food you received The food itself was overall decent. There were some items that we really enjoyed, like the Mac and cheese, three blind mice sandwich, and the Alabama white sauce!! Other items like the green beans or pulled brisket left us wanting more. The green beans did not taste fresh, and the brisket lacked seasoning/flavor. There were also a lot of fried elements like the tater tots, onion rings or even the mozzarella sticks on the three blind mice sandwich, which we feel like were all decent and not too greasy, but also know those are easy things to make regardless of where you're at! The staff was very friendly at the restaurant! They were available if we had questions, and got our food out quickly to us. The ambiance of the restaurant was a little out of date and worn. You could definitely tell this establishment/building has been here for awhile with little to no updates over the years. A few updates to the space I think would really transform it and make it look like it belongs in 2023 not 1993. We do see ourselves coming back in the future, as we saw a few other menu items we are curious about trying!

Everything was really flavorful, filling, and worth trying. My only small complaint with the food is that you can't mix and match the tacos, which would be nice since they have some fun options. The restaurant itself has a bar, indoor and outdoor seating, and a very nice modern style. The staff was friendly and seemed to be trying their best to keep up with how busy and hectic the restaurant gets. I took off a star because the air conditioning is definitely an issue, which made the experience less enjoyable, especially in this Florida heat. This isn't my first time here, and every visit seems to come with a wait. They also seem to be short-staffed most of the time, so service can feel a little stretched. I would say it's on the pricey side, but the food is worth it in the end. With better staffing and some cooling in the dining area, the overall experience would match the quality of the food so much better. With that being said, I'll definitely be back, but probably on a day when it's nice and cool!
