Byers Peak Bistro & Brewery

Came here for a solid meal — looking for just something comforting to eat. We ended up ordering a BBQ chicken pizza and the jalapeño poppers.
The BBQ chicken pizza was good — the crust was thicker and doughier than I would have liked but it was cooked well. The BBQ chicken sauce was very overpowering, so all you could really taste was the sweet, tangy BBQ sauce when you were eating it — the rest of the pizza flavor got lost.
We also ordered the jalapeño poppers, which was surprisingly not what we expected. I thought the poppers were going to be the typical cream cheese with pieces of jalapeño in them, but these ones were full on jalapenos, inserted with cream cheese, floured, and deep fried. It wasn’t my favorite — the jalapenos were cooked but barely so it had a crisp crunch to them. The cream cheese either melted away or there wasn’t enough in it to begin with, but it seems underwhelming. And the sweet sauce they serve it with, really doesn’t help amplify the flavor or anything — we asked for ranch, and that was a better, albeit more typical, pairing.
All in all, this place is a good place to hang out in a group or with kids. They’ve got a lot of real estate and the space seems pretty cool. But the food here is only okay.

Good food, friendly service, fun atmosphere, great selection of tasty beers. A relaxing place to watch a game, have a bite, and sip a few brews.

Really good beer & cool place to watch football. Fish & chips were great! Definitely a favorite place here in Winter Park.

Best place in winter park to have some great eats and superb brews. Wait staff is amazing. Not one thing would I change. Can’t wait to go again. Ohhhh and the Halloween party was a blast!!!

It’s a cool spot. Nice open floor plan that exposes the brewing area, bar, pool tables upstairs, and the entire sitting area. I really like the little keg «crane» that moves the kegs from the brew floor to the restaurant level floor. The food is good and well priced. Beers are all $ 5, an acceptable price for the quality and brewery location.
The only reason that I don’t give 5-​stars is because the service isn’t very good. It’s not the individual person per se it’s more that it seems like they’re constantly understaffed. Why is the bar tender coming out from behind the bar to wait tables? Two more wait staff would make this place much better.
I’ve edited my review down to 3-​stars. The service really is terrible. We went back to the restaurant last Saturday and there were more than 5 tables open, yet we have a 45min — 1 hour wait. Now I get when you’re understaffed you can’t seat the whole restaurant but get some more damn staff. You’re business is in a resort town, there are tons of people who need decent jobs in those towns, HIRE SOME! Also our server just wasn’t very good, couldn’t remember our orders, messed them up, added wrong things to checks.etc. Better staff=better reviews.

Hubs enjoyed his beer (he had the house porter/​stout) but the wings were average at best. A little chewy at times and the «hot» sauce was definitely not. It was a lot like the medium. Really busy place though and the burgers looked pretty good.

Amazing food and drinks. Service was phenomenal. Definitely a sports bar atmosphere and kinda loud. Would go back for the sandwiches and fries! My whole family loved their plates. Eat and drink up!

Was here on NYE — food was decent, drinks were good, service was very subpar. Had to ask for half of the items twice.
Maybe they were just extra busy because of the holiday.

This new addition to Winter Park’s eateries houses a brewery and a great food menu. Family friendly, it seems they also cater to any sports team you might support — all conferences welcome! I say this because there are banners from various schools on the walls, so everyone can come cheer for their team. In the meantime, I am cheering the food. We were there the day after Christmas, so the menu was missing a few items, but I had the cobb salad and it was delish. My husband also thoroughly enjoyed his wings. There’s something for everyone — whether you want to go fast food or something a little more upscale. As far as the beer goes — my husband had one of the stouts, which he said was OK — nothing special, but would be willing to come back and try more. I think The Peak has staying power.

The peak was pretty good! We started with the «High Mountain Honey Wheat» and the only cider was Angry Orchard (so that was a bummer-​feel free to invest in a non sweet cider). THE High Mountain Honey Wheat was DELICIOUS!
Next I had the beer cheese potato soup, not bad at all! I did like it, I do wish they would garnish it, with some fresh shredded cheese or even bacon (I know I know it’s not a baked potato soup).
Appetizers sampler was lots of food (picture shown is with a few things already taken down) but the wing quality was not so great, failed to take a pic but two out of the 3 wings weren’t Edible due to blood and I dunno in them.
The pepperoni pizza was the best part, the pepperonis were really good!
Service was good as well! Practically no wait for our beers and food, thanks!!!

Efficient & friendly staff combined with a good burger & an awesome wheat beer make this place 5 star.
