Big river grille and brewing works??

[princessap]

I haven't read a lot on this restaurant and we aren't big fans of Epcot so didn't check out any Epcot area restaurants last time. Looking to walk around the boardwalk next trip and found this restaurant. It Looks pretty cool. Anyone have any information or experience with it. Thinking of doing Epcot one morning and then heading here and walking around the boardwalk for a bit in the afternoon before heading to dtd for dinner. Thoughts???

We've eaten there several times and it's pretty good. Nothing over the top or to write home about. They do have a working brewery there so their beers are decent as well. The restaurant is actually rather small and the tables can get a bit cramped when there are a lot of people eating.

The menu is pretty standard meals with burgers, chicken, ribs and a few pasta dishes. To me it's nothing more than say a TGI Fridays or something along those lines, just on Disney Property. They do have a few locations in Tennessee as well and looking to expand, so it is what it is there. Cool location and like you said, you can stroll the Boardwalk before & after.

We have a big river in my hometown. I grew up eating there in high school. Food is fine, just ok, nothing special. Ours was even more diverse than the one in Disney (I think) because ours had brick oven pizzas on the menu and I've heard Disney's doesn't (?). Obviously I've never been to the one in Orlando. But the one in my hometown was fine. A little overpriced for average food, IMO. Good luck!

We decided to try this place as well. I like that it has a brewery! You can't do ADRs there right? That threw me off a little when we were planning our dinners.

No ADRs but they do reservations....I think like 90 days in advanced? We did that for our last trip.

We like doing it on our first night. The best time is at dusk, sitting out on the Boardwalk. It's beautiful to see the hotels with the setting sun. The best food choice is the burger, there are a few varieties, then pair it with one of their beers. We like the Red Rocket Ale the best!

Kid's meals are a good value too.

We eat there all the time. We'll split the meatloaf and a bowl of the beer cheese soup.

It's fine. Nothing special. Kind of your basic American restaurant. Food was good but it was a little crowded and noisy inside.

We just ate there last week and all 11 of us really enjoyed our food. My mom and I split the meatloaf and they gave us both (what looked like) whole portions. It was still more than we could each it. It was delicious.
