When we visit Palisade we also lunch here at least once, and make sure we go to Sunday brunch. Andy and family are so personable, and the staff are always friendly and knowledgeable. Menu offerings rotate throughout the seasons, and the ciders are amazing! The Pain Perdu (brunch offering), chicken salad croissant, and vanilla pear cider are my favorites - but everything here is awesome. read more

Sage was our server, was terrific, personable, knowledgeable and helpful. The food was delightful, homemade chips were marvelous! 357 could learn a thing or two from Brix. read more

Great find! Met two of the owners. Fantastic service and awesome food. Great for kids! Brought my whole family. Ages: 3,6,8,11. Would give you my wife's age but something tells me that's not a good idea. Highly recommend! read more

Fantastic bistro. Service was so attentive and everyone was incredibly friendly. We stopped in for lunch. Their cider (raspberry rose) was amazing and this is coming from someone who does not normally drink cider. Soup of the day was great as was the turkey pesto sandwich. We came back later for burnt ends to go. Will definitely be back the next time we are in Palisade! read more

13 °Brix Cider Bistro hosted a BBQ dinner for the opening night of my 40th Birthday trip to Palisade. Ron's prepared menu of BBQ and sauces were wonderful and filled my friends and I up more than we ever have been before. We left wanting nothing more and a little unsure if we would ever be able to make room to eat again!! Andy West's curation of Cider was impeccable and his chemistry background shows through to deliver the perfect cool crisp refreshment needed. All capped off by Kristin's warm welcome and care of my family and friends. Thank you so much Ron, Kristin and Andy for making such a wonderful memory for my friends and I and for making my birthday the best one yet! read more

Fantastic food! Fantastic service! The owner/chef Andy was so personable and accommodating. We will be back often.

I have to say that I'm rather surprised that this wonderful restaurant does not have five stars. This was an amazing place and reading some of the reviews, I find it hard to believe! For sure you can't please them all. We originally pulled in to this beautifully decorated Hallmark town with nice little shops and quite a few restaurants. We went to have Mexican and ended up here and ordered the double clutch which we were able to choose from two meats, four sides two desserts for $40 we had the pork spareribs, brisket, and later had some fall off the bone chicken! The macaroni and cheese was amazing their honey maple cornbread was delicious their garlic mashed potatoes with gravy. I just can't stay enough for this place. They had hot sauces. They had pickled cucumbers. This place had the most amazing barbecue sauces which I believe they need to start selling it's just delicious. The service was amazing. The gentleman at the bar is the son of the cook and the wife. it's a family affair and they all treated you like if you were family not just to me but to the other table that was there with us I only have great things to say About this place. As we were leaving, my son stated it's nice and you can tell the difference when people genuinely like what they do. It shows five star restaurant right here five star all around thank you ! read more

13 Brix is an absolute gem. Every visit feels like a cozy escape. The rustic atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff couldn't be friendlier or more attentive. Andy, the owner and cider maker, is a really genuine guy and he takes the time to speak with the guests and makes everyone feel welcome. The food is just as impressive as the drinks: the sandwiches are fresh and flavorful, the soups and salads are comforting and well-crafted. The ciders themselves are fantastic; crisp, unique, and perfectly paired with the menu. With reasonable prices and consistently great service, this place has quickly become one of our favorite spots in town. We've been coming here during our annual Palisade trip 3 years in a row and I'm already looking forward to our next visit. read more

What a gem this place is in the tiny town of Palisade. After being stuck on I70 for a few hours. We were told to take a detour through this town and were in urgent need of a rest stop. By chance we rolled by 13 Brix and decided this is our sanctuary. Immediately we are greeted by Christian and rushed into the building. She kicked into Mom mode and pointed to the bathrooms and set a place for all 6 of us to sit. She helped us order and boy was everything we ordered on point. The French onion soup, the special vegetarian Sandwich, the grilled cheese, and the hard cider sampler. We loved them all but especially Christian and her beautiful spirit. This place is a must stop for everyone traveling through this town. 10/10 in my book! Thank you Christian for making this a beautiful memory on our journey back home to California. read more

Love sitting outside with our dogs today! They had a dog bowl for water and our waitress showed us the spigot. I had a cranberry apple cider and it was soooo good. The weather was beautiful. Perfect Saturday late morning! My daughter ate all of her Cesar salad and I had the turkey pesto with a house salad. The salad dressing was a vingerette- house made. Delicious. Turkey pesto was primo. Can't wait to have it again. read more

Terrific food, friendly and welcoming staff. Delicious soup and sandwiches.a "must stop back" experience.

The ambience was nice. The service was excellent. The food was good. But. The manager. Does not like ketchup. So will not keep ketchup in the building for the fried potatoes. He Is evidently one of those guys who thinks everyone should eat food the way he likes to. They also do not have ranch for salads. And you have to ask him for salt and pepper. I would only go back if I took my own ketchup. At Least I didn't order a steak. And have to deal with no steak sauce or salt and pepper. read more

I really was excited to try this place. The patio was full when we came around 1:00. By 2:30 (yes it took that long to get two sandwiches all cold options) it was empty and the table next to us got served food before we got ours and came 30 minutes later. The service was so slow it ruined the experience. We wanted to leave and get on the road but right when we were going to get up our food finally came. I asked for the house salad and got potato. They quickly got me a salad within minutes which makes me wonder why 1.5 hours for two sandwiches. The food was lackluster. Did not try the ciders. We will skip it and try the distillery next time. read more

Restaurant and cidery is my go-to for the best French onion soup. Pair it with chicken salad croissant for a great lunch. Cider selection changes often, so try a 5 oz taster. read more

Exceptional food with outstanding service from the owner and staff! Try the cider flight and French Onion soup. You won't be disappointed!

Excellent service and the food was amazing. They take great care in the details. I definitely recommend

Service with Riley was fantastic!! Food was ok. Apple cider better than peach sider. home made chips awesone

The lunch special of F. onion soup and a Cesar salad for under $10! Deep, complex "Julia Child"style soup and a perfectly salty (with whole anchovy filet was a perfect combo. The cider was perfectly refreshing and they allow dogs on the patio. read more

Excellent food and service. Dog friendly. Beautiful patio area. We had the Belgian waffle and French toast, the Holidaise sauce was exceptional!! Food all cooked to perfection. Cider flight awesome. The coffee was so fresh and was amazing. If your in the area you should definitely stop in. The owners visited every table on the patio, so very friendly and welcoming. read more

Enjoyed a leisurely lunch at a shady outside table today. Servers wore masks, tables spread out to safe distances. The soup of the day was a *spicy* Italian sausage concoction, very warming, and our Caesar salads were nicely prepared, quite cold, and fully tossed with a tangy house made dressing, croutons (!), and shaved parm prior to being served. We ordered grilled chicken on the salad and it was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, well worth the extra three bucks. We also ordered cider flights (three 5-oz pours for $6) and met the cider maker, who chatted with us for a few minutes and explained a bit about how he takes care to retain the fruit flavors in all the ciders. A very pleasant lunch, enhanced by friendly, attentive service. read more

Quick friendly service and excellent food. Alterations to classic dishes made them much better.

Worthy small cafe in an off the beaten path . Excellent food, interesting cider flights, and gracious and helpful staff. If you're looking for fast Food level greaseburgers, this is not it. Drink a little, savor a lot. Wonderful place read more

While this was a nice environment and the waiters were all very friendly, the wait took forever. We were seated immediately upon arrival, but as soon as we ordered had to wait more than an hour for our food. The food was delicious, and our waitress was super funny and nice!! read more

WOW, what a treat to discover this amazing bistro. It has a great patio and a wall of windows flooding it with light, making it feel open and fresh. You are often greeted by the owner himself who could not be any more warm and welcoming even if he doesn't have a full staff that day you are never kept waiting and always greeted with a smile. The cider is super yummy and the food is fresh and delicious with interesting combinations calling me to go back to try something new. I look forward to making this one of my favorite spots and if I lived closer I would even work there! P.S. I think the Reuben might have even been better the second day, lol. read more

Good cider and fresh tasty food. We've been there several times and always enjoyed salad, soup, and sandwiches.

Lovely patio, service was impeccable, peach cider was delicious, and the food was wonderful. Andy the Owner was a very gracious host he made sure our meal and service were perfect. Great first impression we will be back!!! read more

We stopped in Palisade to eat lunch before heading back to Denver. After finding out that, due to a private party, the original place we wanted to eat wasn't open, we walked down the street and found this cute place. We got to talk to Andy, who is part owner, waiter and cidermaker. It's hard not to want to try his ciders. They also have a nice variety of wine offerings from his family's local vineyard. The midday menu has some classic French sandwiches with a Colorado twist. We each enjoyed our sandwiches and the different side dish offerings - French Onion soup, potato salad, and Caesar salad. I hope to be back in Palisade sometime soon so we can try more of Andy's ciders and try their Sunday brunch. read more

Let me start by saying what a great group of employees! So friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. I felt like I was the only guest in there with all the attention and care for my experience. Thank you to everyone! I enjoyed the potato salad and the tomato bisque. Both extremely reasonably priced for the quality and location. The salad had a unique twist of fresh green apple which was delightful. The bisque had a curry element that just lifted the bowl to another level. The chef even checked in and I was able to pick his brain a bit and he even told me about a local event. I definitely enjoyed the apple cider and the patio. Will recommend and I hope to visit again soon! read more

Got the pain perdu Sunday brunch and it was amazing. Paired it with kielbasa cooked in apple cider which was divine. As for the cider flight, I definitely recommend the vanilla perry and blueberry lavender. Only regret is that we don't live closer! read more

Sunday brunch at the cider bistro. Flights were a delicious way to try three flavors before deciding on a pint. They can make a mimosa out of the cider as well. We all had the croque madame which is the monsieur with an egg on top. Hollandaise was excellent, only complaint is too much bread - maybe just make it with one slice served open face. The bread, ham/jambon, cheese, etc were all good quality and delicious. Option of breakfast potatoes or salad - I had the salad and it was huge. Tried my friend's potatoes and they were pretty good, seasoned and a little crispy. Great friendly service. read more

Very disappointing experience, except for the server who was so kind and sweet. When we arrived we were alerted to the fact that food service was going to be delayed but we were okay with waiting. We had a flight of cider and a couple sides of frites, both of which were just "okay". You can read other reviews about the lack of ketchup! The server checked in regularly and tried to keep us updated on the food. However, we sat for over an hour and a half. The restaurant was not even close to halfway full. We saw that a large order was sitting under the heat lamps for about 30 minutes and feared some of it belonged to our table. When the food did finally arrive it was almost inedible. My daughter's Hollandaise sauce had become hard as a rock and her once soft boiled egg was now a hard boiled egg. I ordered a salad that was drenched in a tasteless dressing. One person in our party had ordered a version of a fancy grilled cheese and it was soggy from sitting under the heat lamps. When the manager came up to ask if everything was "terrific", I just couldn't lie. It had been an almost two hour test of our patience. I shared with him how disappointed we were with each of our dishes (there were 6 of us) and instead of apologizing and trying to make it right, he made excuses. Just sad. I was in food service for a very long time and I don't respect a restaurant that doesn't fess up to their mistakes. Our bill was not adjusted whatsoever. Needless to say, we will not be returning. read more

Cider & sandwiches were delicious. Very kind waiter who was knowledgeable about the menu & gluten free bread

13 Brix offers so tasty ciders. Sadly, they all weren't available to try which was a bummer. But the two they had were spot on. Although we didn't get food, I did have to go for a bowl of the french onion soup! So delicious even on a hot day! Staff were super friendly. I highly recommend this as a stop! read more
