The gameday wings here are really good. And much bigger than what you get at Buffalo Wild Wings. Also, in 2013, Big River has NFL Sunday Ticket so you can watch your team and enjoy craft beer . 5 stars

Bin Yang

Sweet Magnolia Brown Ale is rich and well balanced. Would go well with any burgers on the list. Pilsner is a surprise hit, the Saaz hops spicy notes really comes through. If available, get the Gose!

Jereme Townsend

Samples are free, the maibock lager is amazing. Great micro brew beer . Happy hour is ends at 6:30 so go early the deals are great!

Jonathan Yagel

Order the Maibock . Maybe two. It's the Spring seasonal, so get it while you can: with a rich caramel flavor , smooth drinkability, and BR's highest alcohol content, this is the perfect beer .

Jim Ward

Good food selection. Very pleased that they had a stout on draft . Very few places have stouts or porters on draft . The Iron Horse Stout was excellent. The brown ale was OK.

Eddie Koranek

We came here in 2017 and my wife has been talking about the fish tacos ever since. We finally made it back and they lived up to the memories!

Jill Brooks

If you had exceptional service , let the manger know. Whoever treated you like a rockstar will receive a free meal! I was happy to know my server, Dacey, would be rewarded for a job well done!

Dana P'Simer

Had the flight, I really enjoyed all of the beers . My favorite is the Sweet Magnolia but the IPA and the Stout are really good as well . Terminal doesn't come close in terms of quality.

Barbie Austin

Pretzel appetizer was delicious - it is new to their menu. I loved the Mac-n-cheese, and my fiancé love the blackened mahi sandwich !

Elizabeth Coats

Maddie our server was awesome and on top of things. Apparently it's true that telling the manager your server is exceptional will get them a free meal, though she was sheepish to confirm this tip!

Teresa Colon

I had the bacon chicken Mac + cheese , it was delicious! I also had the house stout which was surprisingly fantastic

Dean Lusk

The lobster & shrimp enchiladas were fantastic. The blue corn tortillas ​ were a wee bit tough, but there was no skimping on the lobster . Decent beer selection , but more lighter beers than dark.

Dustin Tanner

Great food and beer ! California Chicken sandwich is very good. If you like dark beer , get the Sweet Magnolia. Light beer ? The Southern Flower is excellent!

Awesome service. Awesome food. Try the bbq chicken pizza and a side of mashed potatoes ! And dont forget the carrot cake for dessert :-)

Richard J

After all of these years their IPA is still one of my favorites.

Charlie Bruce

Try the seasonal Oktoberfest beer . Good stuff. Remember to add a slice of orange .

John Krogman

Great place to watch the game and get some good brew.

Cargo Greyrye

If u go in at around 10, you'll be asked to seat yourself in the bar . After that, the servers seem to get pretty focused on cleaning up and your chances of being served drop to roughly zero.

Craig Butler

On a hot day the Summer Wheat is really refreshing. Great Beers from top to bottom.

Collin Williams

Artichoke and crab dip and the blackened mahi sandwich ! Don't forget the iron horse stout !

Ashley Campbell

3 words: blackened mahi sandwich . It is to kill for! The Cajun remoulade is out of this world and definitely try their seasonal brew !
