Big River Grille and Brewing Works ?

[MickeyPower]

Is this place a counter serve or seat down? I've tried to make Ard and they are telling me that it's not coming up. This web site says reservation suggested?

Help, we want to eat here.

It is sit down, I think I made reservations once but maybe I just walked in. Last time we were there we walked in and it was very good.

We enjoy this restaurant. We did not make reservations the two times we ate there, just walked in. There was a slight wait for a table, but very minimal. You could always make reservations once you are at your resort.

They don't do ADRs. You have to call the restaurant directly if you want reservations, and they won't take them until about a month ahead of time. Most people walk up and get in without reservations.

They don't take ADR's but you can call the day of, which is what we did. We went during April school vacation-very busy and didn't have a problem getting the reservation for that day. Ate on the patio area-food was good, great beer flights. Enjoy!

mmm GOOD beer cheese soup -- and I don't even like beer!

 

[sleepycor]

how is the restaurant like? decor, atmosphere etc? im interested in dining here also

 

[Luv2Roam]

Modern/Contemporary.
Nothing over the top special.
There is a brewery vat area off to the one side. I have not paid any attention to that area and can't provide details.
Guests can choose to sit indoors or outside.

They just did a rehab and reopened in early September. While they were rehabing they were serving in the Atlantic Dance Hall. Food was great. We've eaten here several times.

Good for a beer and a burger, but not much else. Unless the inside has been extensively remodeled, it's pretty drab. Service has been nonchalant our previous visits.

We ate here a few times in Aug '06. Both times, we just walked up. As others have said, the inside of the restaurant is just a pub, but you can eat outside right on the Boardwalk if you want.

Food was fine, DS loved the chicken sandwich, and DD and I had a grilled turkey sandwich. I think they came with chips, not fries.

DH did the beer sampler both times and when we left he wanted to buy a t-shirt. He couldn't decide between two different designs, and the bartender gave him both for the price of one!

407-560-0253 for reservations 30 days out. We just went last week (Christmas week) and people were walking up and getting tables with no problem. We absolutely love this place and the view is great.

This is how we found the restaurant as well.

Thank you for posting that tip! I just signed up.

We're going in September, and planned on having an early dinner there on our day of arrival since we're staying at the BW and won't be going to any parks that day.

You can give your name and come back later. We've hardly ever had to do so though, most of the time, we can walk up and get a seat.

We love this place and usually go more than once per trip.

To me, food is a little above average, say...5.1 on a 10 scale.

The atrraction for me is the beer flite. I like to get a table outside, order the beer sampler and people watch. Great way to take a break for awhile.

We ate there in Feb 07. We actually walked over and got reservations in the morning for that night. The place was fairly small (although may be different now if it has been refurbed as a pp said) and so got pretty crowded with people waiting for tables in the evening. We ate outside which was really nice. The food was quite good, we liked it! Beer was great!
