I was craving a good steak and came across this casual, laid back steakhouse. After reading several reviews 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. read more

Didn't know what to expect when we pulled up to Phyre Brewery and Tavern. It was one of rhe coldest Saturdays in Florida history. And when we entered it was all sunshine and good vibes. 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! read more

We had an outstanding experience at this steakhouse. The steaks were cooked perfectly--tender, flavorful, and exactly to temperature. You can really tell the kitchen takes pride in the quality of the ingredients and preparation. Huge kudos to Chef Frankie for delivering such a phenomenal meal. Everything from the steak to the sides was well executed and beautifully presented. Our server, Aubrey, was fantastic and truly elevated the experience. She was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu without ever making us feel rushed. Her service made the evening feel relaxed and enjoyable. We also have to mention the banana fosters cheesecake for dessert--it was absolutely amazing and the perfect way to end the meal. Rich, flavorful, and something we would come back for on its own. Great atmosphere, excellent food, and standout service. Between Chef Frankie's incredible cooking and Aubrey's attentive service, this steakhouse is definitely a place we will return to and highly recommend read more

This is a very cute little place in old downtown St. Cloud. The rustic decor is adorable. The menu is very diverse with many options for all types of eaters. Our server was very attentive and never let our tea glasses stay empty very long. They had a daily special of venison; something you don't usually find on a menu. Only negatives I found was the meatloaf was a little dry but did have a good flavor. Also the booth seats are a bit narrow front to back. If I find myself in St. Cloud again I would definitely make another stop here! read more

This place is fantastic! We sat outside as the weather was perfect. We were greeted pretty promptly by Kim. She was very prompt to get us something to drink. She was also patient with me as I took longer than the others to decide what to drink & eat. She nicely said she would return to give me time while I decided, which was perfect! She returned pretty quickly with my family's drinks. I ordered the espresso martini which was made very well. I ordered the Hazelnut Heist. Oh my goodness!!!! That was simply wonderful! The egg over the chicken that was tender and juicy. The chicken had the hazelnut crunchy texture on the outside of the chicken. PERFECT! Topped with a Frangelico, sundried cherry sauce and served over a buttermilk biscuit what a whole other level of perfection. The pairing of that sauce and the chicken encrust with hazelnut is an unexpected taste that simply must be experienced! Definitely would eat that any time! The menu looked wonderful with all the options and ways the dishes were made. The inside is beautiful and very spacious. Set in a beautiful quaint town in the middle of Florida, this place is definitely a gem and one to go to while in St. Cloud or if you are just passing through! read more

Wow. Just wow. Taylor was our bartender server and thank you Taylor. You made it a great experience! Whoever is in the back cooking kudos to you because I was the best ribs, burger, and fries we've ever had. The ribs were 20 bucks half rack and came with a side of fries that are actual potatoes. I know I'm saying that but yes, their actual potatoes. Lol and the ribs are smoked. We had a great IPA that was grapefruit, they have tomahawk Tuesdays. It's 125 for a smoked tomahawk and a couple sides and they also have karaoke Monday. Can't go wrong stop by. They caught his speakeasy and absolutely you can tell that that's what it is. Ambience checks out specifically to the bar thing. read more

March 26/2025: Appetizers with Lisa & Ed. This is a small but very busy BBQ restaurant in St. Cloud. I just had the Phyre Bacon. 5 Strips of hung bacon that's maple glazed with a spicy bite. Very tasty & a novel way of getting the customer to pay $16.00 for 5 thick cut pieces of bacon. This my friends is NOT diet approved! It fatty, drippy & delicious! If I come back, I'd go here again for a full meal. read more

We stopped in randomly on Valentine's for lunch. We were greeted right away, there was no wait to be seated. They had a very nice selection of beer, wine, and custom drinks. My husband ordered the Deep Sea Shrimp and grits. Said it was the best meal out he's had in a long time. I originally ordered the crayfish mac and cheese, unfortunately my waitress had to come back and let me know they were out. I ended up getting the crab stuffed shrimp on lemon risotto. The shrimp was fantastic! The lemon flavor was very light, so do not let that dissuade you from not ordering it if you are on the fence. The atmosphere was nice. It didn't feel over crowded like some resturants can feel with tabels full. read more

The wife and I have come twice now, once for brunch and once for their $10 burger Monday. Both times were exceptional. The food was delicious: for brunch I had a hazelnut crusted chicken with a frangelico cherry sauce that was super tasty if you like sweet and savory and (at least for me) very unique in flavor! Our return visit I and the other three diners got burgers of different varieties. They were all delicious as were the fries and all for a great price on Monday. The staff was attentive and friendly, making sure we had what we needed and stopping to say hi to our 4 month old daughter who was having a great time listening to the music. They had a great porter on tap which is not always common during the summer in Florida and the rest of the drink selection looked good as well. Can't wait to go back, it's a real must try in St. Cloud! read more

I usually support small buisness but can't with this one if I could leave -10 stars I would but I have to settle for 1 The owner/manager should not be in the customer service industry. The customer service was some of the worst I've ever experienced. This was easily the nastiest food I've ever had. They should drop the "Steakhouse" from the name and just keep the "Saloon." The lamb tasted like it had been boiled and even looked it and then covered in a terrible cherry sauce. Three people at my table tried it and immediately spit it out. I should have done the same. My stomach has been in shambles after just a one bite. The macaroni was dry, and my steak (bison )was overcooked, dry, and had about 4 ounces of fat on it. After the first bite, the meat tasted like it was starting to go bad and they just cooked it . The only food item I somewhat enjoyed was the candied bacon, although it could have been cooked a little longer. The bartender was the highlight of the visit. They made drinks quickly and did a great job. Our waitress was friendly, but service was very slow, especially considering the restaurant wasn't busy. It took a long time for our drinks to reach the table and even longer for the food to come out.Some one who came 40 min well after us even received food before us and the extra accommodations before we even received ours . The worst part of the experience was how the owner handled our concerns. After I sent the lamb back, he came to the table and told me I had "wasted $100 worth of meat." He also told me I didn't know what I wanted, even though I had decided what I wanted within minutes of arriving. The delay was in someone taking our order, not in me making a decision. With both of the times I ordered to give them a chance . HE stated that that's is how the food is always cooked and there was nothing wrong .he said I couldn't have the boiled lamb if I wanted it off my bill that we had to get to go .I'm glad something told me to taste it before taking it bc it didn't look rite when she showed it to me the crazy part is I never planned to take it and in fact tried to give it back before he came to the waitress because there was nothing I could to save it when I got home even gods hand couldn't fix it .He then told me not to come back That won't be a problem--I never planned on returning. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone for food. If you're looking for anything, I'd only recommend stopping by for a drink because the bartender was the only positive part of the entire experience.I suggest she get a new job because with his attitude her money is definitely short .The booths are small only fit a party of 3 and that's pushing if you have any meat on your bones even a table set for 6 is really for four all in all worst experience and would not recommend read more

Love this restaurant. I have visited twice and have not been disappointed. Their ambiance offers a chic mixed with saloon sophistication. Wooden doors and cute wall paper their menu has an American fare with great surprises. I have visited while they featured live music. It's a nice little place. Their service is casual, friendly and welcoming. read more

This place deserves a 10 star review! Hubby and I celebrated our anniversary and I got the ribeye....I'd say it's better than a Ruth's Chris steak! I'm a steak person and this was fire! Hubby got the short ribs and loved them as well! Our server, June was so kind and accommodating. She made the whole evening special for us! Will definitely be returning! Atmosphere was lovely as well read more

Food is fresh and flavorful. Portions are nice size. Burger was succulent and juicy. Fries cut with skin on cooked with a little crunch. Ahi nachos are one of my favorite. Little wasabi on the bottom topped with ahi, slaw, seaweed and drizzle of creamy sauce. Yummo! Battered fish tacos had slaw on the bottom and lightly battered mahi cooked perfect but would have preferred blackened if it was a choice and drizzled with a creamy dressing. Very juicy tacos. French onion soups had tons of onions in a sweet broth topped with a crusted baguette and topped provolone cheese and sprinkled with sliced scallions. delicious. Candied bacon wow! What a nice appetizers and presentation. Perfection. Service was excellent, attentive and Knowledgeable. Love the interior and attire of all the restaurant staff. 1930's speakeasy. Fun time! read more

Our waitress, Jude was amazing. She was professional and friendly; very informative with the menu and beer selection. She checked on us just the right amount. The food was fantastic! Mom ate the blackened chicken pasta and her plate was clean! Hubby and I both had the braised beef with rosemary mash and Brussels sprouts. The beef was very tender and full of flavor, the sides complemented the beef perfectly. Fantastic food, fantastic service, and a live jazz saxophone player!! Great Friday night dinner! read more

My husband and I decided to check this place out last night for a quick bite and a drink. We enjoyed the food and the drinks. The waitresses, the hostess and the bartender were all very friendly. I loved the saloon look of the restaurant, from the chandeliers to the wooden beams in the ceiling, the cute booths with velvet seating. We have decided that we will definitely be back! We had the fish and chips for dinner and for drinks we had the Phyrita and the bootlegger rum punch. All were amazing! So if you are in the Saint Cloud area, check them out! Good food and great people. read more

Country style with a colonial goth like decor, very unique. Quick and friendly service. They have daily specials worth it. If you like the savory sweet salty taste, you must try the hangover burger. It's Cinnabon buns with a burger in the middle, finger licking good. They offer a full service bar. I had the phyrerita with the added floater let's just say 1 drink did the trick. Family friendly and they have house brewery beers if you like those. Plenty of parking places. read more

Burgers are over cooked and they are dry. I asked for medium rare and it came out really well. Guess I should have asked for another one.

Service.... Great!!! Ambiance is a plus and very classy looking. Can make for a great date night as well. The food... well I mean it's not bad but not great!! We order the chicken and waffle sandwich with fresh cut French fries. The fries were amazing, the waffle pretty good, smoked candied bacon yummy, but the chicken... although cooked well and moist; it had absolutely no flavor not even a hint. I can only think they do that on purpose so it's not overly salty with the smoked -bacon and syrup combined, but that's only an assumption. I'm sure we will come again to try another dish in their menu. read more

This was our first time trying this place. Some good friends of ours recommend it. Brian our server was very amazing. All his recommendation were on point. We will be coming back.

The ambiance of course was saloon style and it gave our experience a different touch. read more

We have been here a few times and have really enjoyed the restaurant! The menu has a great variety of things, our favorite item is the candied bacon! The pricing is also very reasonable too! The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating, and has a bar where you are able to sit as well. Service has always been quick and the servers as very attentive. This has become a staple restaurant for us, especially when we have guests in town as their menu has something for everyone! I would definitely recommend trying Phyre out if you haven't already! read more

I came here for brunch with my family on a Sunday, and let me tell you, this place is underrated! The place was surprisingly dead for 1pm on Sunday. Prime brunch time! The decor in here is so cute! It's kind of like a speakeasy vibe. It was very clean and felt brand new. There was a live guitarist playing some nice mood music. I loved it! We got chicken and waffles, scotch egg waffles, caprese salad, and eggs Benedict. The food was absolutely delish! While the meals didn't all come out together, servers were very nice and attentive. Overall, I loved this place. read more

I absolutely love this place, the food is always excellent, and the owner is not only a great chef but also a genuinely good guy. Unfortunately, I can't say the same about the service. The staff tends to be very slow, especially at the bar. At most restaurants, sitting at the bar usually means you're taken care of right away, but here that hasn't been my experience. More than once I've had to look around just to find the bartender. The last two times I came in, I waited between 15-20 minutes before anyone even acknowledged me, and this was around 2 p.m. on a weekday when the restaurant was nearly empty. It's frustrating because the food and atmosphere are great, but the service really takes away from the overall experience. read more

Love the atmosphere and the piano player. Cocktails are great too. Had a fun time on a girls' night. The food is ok... some room for improvement here. I had fish and chips which were decent. We shared the candied bacon and pretzel bite apps. The pretzels were standard but delicious. The bacon had a great smoky flavor but we wished it was crispier. My friend had the maple bacon old fashioned and one did a cold brew and said both were great. read more

Phyre gets five stars for atmosphere alone. I love how they have kept a lot of the feel of the old building and given it a goth flare. The purples are delightful in the decor. If you choose to believe, the building is haunted. The drinks are always on point and they do a build your own Bloody Mary on Sundays. The Phyre Candy is so tasty. I prefer it over the candied bacon at First Watch any day. The chicken is waffles is one of my favorites, and it never disappoints. The burgers are always tasty too. I have never been disappointed in my trips to Phyre. It is a St. Cloud must. read more

I stopped in for a quick bite with some friends. Lots of free street parking in the area. They offer plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Pick your flavor: high and low top tables, bar seating and booths. The place has such a cool 1920s vibe to it. Our waitress, Grace, was very friendly and knowledgeable. I absolutely loved the cream cheese spread served with the Charcuterie Board. It was a creamy, light sweet spread with a slight kick in heat. The French onion soup was very good with the perfect amount of melted cheese on top. My friends ordered the dumpster fries and raved about how good they were with all the savory toppings. I am looking forward to coming back in soon on a date night with my husband. read more

For the St. Cloud area this a decent place. The highlight was our waitress Kim. The Chicken and Waffles was better with a little Cayenne in it. They still have a ways to go to get it to Tennessee style though. There are some conflicting flavors going on with this dish. I would say another high light was the French onion soup and the pyhre shrimp, just the right amount of kick. The Mac and Cheese was pretty run of the mill. read more

Hanging out with some friends downtown St. Cloud during the monthly market. We decided to take a break and grab dinner. I've walked by this restaurant at least 20 times but never stopped. The decor cute and the attire of the staff resembles that of pinup girls (I think). Everything on the menu sounded delicious so I really couldn't make up my mind. We had a table of 8 and our server Charles he was able to answer any questions about the menu and made drink suggestions, etc he did everything he could to make sure we had a great experience. The fish tacos were very filling. Crispy fish, freshly made pico and spicy cabbage wrapped in a flour tortilla simple but yet delicious. Everybody's food came out on time hot and fresh!! I will be back again soon. read more
