Ordered a chicken Caesar. First attempt came out with the romaine lettuce leaves uncut, so big 6" pieces of lettuce. Second attempt came out about 15 minutes later after I asked em to just chop it up. Employees were super nice and apologetic.Anyways, coming from a guy who was super hungry and in the mood for a Caesar salad...the salad was terrible. It had a soap quality.Maybe I ordered poorly, but I've never had a full Caesar I just walked away from and left on the table.

The other reviews are pretty accurate. Cool street food concept with international inspiration. Bland delivery. The service is adequate: a cashier with a smile, pretty fast food while you enjoy a beer from the brewery. I think the menu makes it seem like things will be better than they actually are. If you just go in expecting bar food, it does the job. FYI I've had chicken as street food in Thailand many times. The Thai chicken here was inspired but off. I almost never leave food on my plate. Quite dry, a bit overly salty, with some kaffir lime leaf powder sprinkled on top. I couldn't give it away at my table. Stick with the crinkle cut fries and you'll be fine.

Feel-good, flavor-packed dishes with fresh ingredients. A great look-out to the harbor and boats coming and going. I look forward to trying more.

Great food, a creative menu, friendly folks working here! What more could you want! Well, you know... it would be nice to be able to have a beer after 8pm (Alaska your brewery laws are ridiculous).

Took 50 minutes to get a (cold) sandwich and burger. Extremely variable is the best way to describe this place. We've been about 20 times and they're always changing the menu and staff. It can take anywhere from 10 minutes to 60 minutes to get your food, but they don't tell you anything when you order (a heads up would've been helpful).I know staffing and ingredients sourcing is a challenge in Juneau but other places like Devil's Hideway, Zerelda's, etc don't seem to have the same consistency issues.Love Forbidden Peak, but Squire's across the street has more consistent food service so we'll likely start heading there more often this winter when we want drinks + food.

TLDR: pricy, tasty and creative, some minor issues with the cooking.A bit overpriced for “street food”, but nonetheless this remains one of the better restaurants we’ve found in Juneau. We actually came twice - once getting fish and chips and the udon bowl, and next both getting burgers. Our first meal was awesome. Excellent fish, great udon bowl, although the chicken in the bowl was slightly dry, and both meals were $22-26.The next time we both got burgers and didn’t realize until we sat down that they didn’t ask how we’d like the burgers cooked - a shame because they came back very well done and bone dry. The patty melt onions were, conversely, underdone. But the flavors of the sauce and the bread were awesome.So, I think there are some kinks to work out with some of the dishes, but overall, I think this place is great and worth supporting.

Food was great! Fresh salads, great vegetarian and delicious fish taco. Bonus, it is inside a brewery with beautiful views.

I have yet to have a meal from Red Spruce that isn't fresh, tasty, and pretty to look at. Their rockfish dishes have been consistently amazing; especially the tacos with a yummy mango-type chutney. Juniper's summer salad is peppery but delish, and the fries with dipping sauce are a total indulgence. Service is always fast, and especially on a sunny day, you can't go wrong eating on the patio at Forbidden Peak!

First time in. The food is really good. The decorations are neat.The guy Jeffery who took our order and brought the food was friendly and professional,Kid-friendliness: There is not a bunch of stuff everywhere for kids to get a hold of.Parking: More parking in back
My wife had the Kung Pao Bowl and said it was tasty. I watched her enjoy it for a few minutes, and then she was left with two cups of rice, so the ratio was off. Add some more veggies and Tofu guys. I had the Kahlua pork burger. Also tasty, but not at all spicy as the menu states. Super smokey, which is OK, but that detracted from any sauce used. Also, I love the idea of a bit of a crisp crust, but it was pretty dry overall. Better than my last dining experience, but overall, they end up being a convenient place to eat rather than a restaurant I seek out.
