Fantastic food. Incredible staff. Amazing atmosphere. Decent prices. Definitely coming again! Open area, nice lighting, and cool decor. Food is heavenly. My table all adored their food. Everything cooked to our preferences. Perfection! Staff are super nice and made sure to get clarification on things. I'm intolerant to tomatoes so eat them anyways, so the staff double checked with me about how much I wanted them cooked. XD Definitely coming back again and again!

We enjoyed our beers. I got the Santa Fe Bowl with chicken. While tasty, I chose no grains or rice and I’m pretty sure they added no extra greens. It ended up being quite soupy. My husband got the Fish & Chips special. It was tasty enough, but for $14.50 the portions of both were ridiculously small. Like kids meal sized small. Served in a 5” by 7” tray and the ‘tartar’ sauce seemed to be very soupy ranch with a few chopped pickles. Because he was still hungry we got the Chicken Thigh appetizer and it was pretty good. Especially the Ale Mustard sauce.

I was fortunate enough to go to a soft opening event and was blown away with how incredible this place is. First, the atmosphere is relaxing and designed for gathering. I brought my wife the moment the place fully opened and she loved getting a flight of beer as we fellowshiped with friends. The pizza is delicious. I have ordered the meat lovers and the hot honey. The favorite is not the Hot Honey. Perfect spice, crisp crust and not expensive. I will be taking my entire family of 9 very soon.

I started my review before actually having a meal and seeing the prices and whatnot. For the soft opening they only had pizza available and the pizza was almost like Pizza Hut pizza. It definitely was never very good. And then when we got the check the prices were really really high and in addition to being high priced they added gratuity automatically for two people which I've never seen in my life before. Now I've seen places at gratuity if you have like six or eight people but not just two people and the amount of gratuity was excessive considering how much service you receive from the people. They don't have servers so nobody comes and takes your order. You have to go up and order your food. Either pick it up or somebody will bring it to you at some point. But it took one of our people in my group of three who picked up her own check. It took her 45 minutes to get her pizza. The check for two people and we had pizza, salads, I had a cocktail and my friend had a beer flight which was four different types of beers and our check was almost $100 so the place is very nice. It looks wonderful. I certainly wish them the best of luck but they're going to have to drop the prices and they're going to have to stop adding gratuity automatically. I found that shocking and ridiculous

Here for the soft opening. Very nice place. Nice atmosphere a welcomed edition to Junction City which needs more places like this

Just wanted to note for you. I appreciate your reply. I understand it's a soft opening. You still got a long way to go and get things in order. I don't know what other people thought. I know the three people in my party. We all threw our pizza away. Everyone of us. And gratuity was added to our check and our friends check who is with us. So I don't know what to tell you about that. But I appreciate you looking into it

We had our RC Kennels Christmas Party tonight at Highwinds, Thomas manager,Doc bartender and both restaurants staff were perfect and so was the food. We decorated, they cooked, we cleaned up and the evening was perfect! Thank you Highwinds for a wonderful evening.🎄🎁🎄

As we walked in, I noticed there wasn't a hostess and no welcoming staff. It's open seating. When we picked a booth, the table and seats weren't cleaned. When I got my food, the fries were cold. I had my fries replaced and still weren't hot. My burger and drink were good. I finally thought JC had something. Highwind Brewery leaves a lot to be desired.

It is so nice to finally have a place to relax with friends and family, drink a cold beer and eat some food. Sure, Junction City has a few restaurants you can get a drink at, but the atmosphere in JC is always severely lacking. This is just what this place needed! I love the classy atmosphere and yet the very laid-back vibe. It's a nice place I can bring my kid, too, and not feel like I am spending the while time stressed out trying to make sure he isn't acting like the 3 year old he is. I love that we can pick our own table and get our food and drink on our own terms. After being in Europe for 3 years, the hardest part of coming home was the CONSTANT interruptions while trying to eat. Yes, I know they mean well, but it seems like wait staff always knows when I just stuffed my face full of food to come ask if I need anything. The pizza and beer were great! All of the employees were kind and super friendly. I will definitely be back and bring more people. I am so excited not to have to drive into Manhattan to enjoy a good brewpub.

The food was reasonably priced and was worth it. The atmosphere was great. The prices for the drinks were a little high and seating yourself is kind of off for the pricing but overall if you have the time and are looking for a new place to eat you should give it a try.
