Thank you for sharing. We have had a meal or two here. Never had any issues. Glad to see they will be back.

Good to know!!

This, coupled with the news that Italian Cultural Representatives are being hired as well, is another welcome sign that life is returning!

Best blackened Mahi-mahi sandwich I’ve ever had.

I have never been there, but I am THRILLED at this news because it seems to signal that WDW restaurants in general will be starting to open. Is it against the rules to insert expletives directed at covid? LOL.

I was there last week and there was over 50 lbs of hops in bags on tables in the restaurant. It made me so sad to see those go to waste. Glad to see they may be coming back!! I need some craft beer when I stay at BWV and missed it this year.

 

[Ginger R]

Glad to hear its coming back. We enjoy a meal there when we stay at BW for the convenience!

Replying to myself to note that part of my joy was based on incorrect information. Per DIS News:

UPDATE: After this article was published, we received word from The Patina Group that the job posting we referenced below is not accurate and that they are NOT hiring at this time. As always, we will keep you updated on any changes that we hear.

So, are they not hiring for the Italian Cultural Reps or for Big River Grille?

Sorry for not being clear - Patina Group is not hiring for Italian Cultural Reps. https://www.wdwinfo.com/news-storie...or-italian-cultural-representatives-at-epcot/

But, Big River Grille is reopening?
That would be good news for the Boardwalk area.
While not a must do restaurant, we have not had a bad meal there. Often, its when we want something now and don't want to fight the crowds in EPCOT.

I haven't seen any contradictions to the news about Big River Grille, so I'm happy about that!

I saw a post on Facebook today that said tables were being setup outside and they said they hope to open next week. Yay! Our traditional BWV arrival lunch. Brew Burgers, sitting outside.

I hope next week, as we will be at WDW starting the 19th and this always seemed like an interesting place to eat.

Love Big River Grille!!! Thanks for posting!

I was hoping they'd get a better craft beer joint instead of BR (their beer isn't good). My hope was that they'd do what they did at DL (Ballast Point isn't the be-all, end-all, but better than BR):
