The outdoor bar was appreciated! This is an order-at-the-bar spot with food runners. It wasn't terribly busy while we were here,, so there was no wait for service -- always a plus! My husband ordered a Hi Neighbor beer (owners are from Rhode Island, so this seems to have been loosely based on Narragansett lager? Not terribly close in taste but a nice hoppiness to it). I had a flight, as I like to sample several when I try a new joint. I really liked the variety of types. We split a pretzel and a sandwich. Both were very tasty, and the food came out hot and fresh quickly. The bartender/food runners were very friendly! We had a great time hanging out here on a Saturday afternoon, we'll be back when we're nearby again for sure!

The brewery is beautiful--inviting, relaxed, and the kind of spot where you immediately want to settle in for another round. Then came the IPAs. We sampled them all, and every pint told a different story. One crashed over you like a salty Gulf Coast wave, bold and full of energy. Another unfolded like a peaceful walk through a pine forest, layered with earthy bitterness and just the right touch of sweetness. No two tasted alike, and that's exactly what made the experience so much fun. The biggest surprise? Every IPA was memorable. We expected good. We found outstanding. Meeting the brewmaster was the icing on the cake. Learning he's a fellow Stone Brewing fan made for a great conversation, and you can taste the passion and creativity in every glass. To everyone at Calusa Brewing--high fives all around. You made fans out of us, and we can't wait to come back for another flight.

Our server, Susan, was super lovely and very attentive. I can tell this place is a local favorite for a reason. All this praise to say, I won't return because of their use of AI menus. It's genuinely extremely disappointing, because I really did like everything else. If it weren't for their AI menus, this would be a 5 star review easily. I wouldn't have gone here to begin with if I had known they use AI.

The not so good. My only complaint here is a significant one considering we came to a brewing spot. I ordered the stout. I order them at any brewing place we visit. This was by far the most bland, watery stout I've tasted. I let the server know when she asked us how it was. She didn't have much to say about it. Seemed surprised to hear it. Other than that, the experience at Big Top was nice. We'd return on our way back from doing something in Sarasota.

There ain't nothing remotely close to this place in Palmetto FL. Unique flavors in a unique brewery. It is a small venue, but they have done great with the space. And there is an outside area as well. Service here is always great. This is only my 2nd or 3rd time here, but a keep coming back when I am in the area because the beer and service is constantly great. They have wine as well as beer. The BEER: Tiki Sour 8.5% ABV...

Between the food, drinks, & overall experience, this place was great. but if I could give extra stars I would, because their staff was beyond starrific. Their waitress spent time chatting with our daughter, answering her questions about the menu, her favorite things, & what she liked about being a waitress there. It was such a heartwarming experience her taking her time- even telling our daughter often, I have to check on other people so I don't ignore them, but I'll come back- displaying how to be attentive, mindful, and not just brush a kid off.

Stephen our server, gave me the bill later. The credit card machine was highlighted on the amount for tip as 22% rather than 20% or 25%. I asked if the tip was calculated after the tax since I didn't want the tip on the tax. I was told by Stephen the tip was only on the sub total. The receipt indicated a tip of $34.82 and 22% should have been $33.27. The credit card machine should be accurate. Additionally, my rewards pizza was still on the bill. I was charged for two classic cheese, pizzas, and one credit cheese pizza of $7.00. I called the Oak & Stone on Thursday (8/20) and spoke with the manager who indicated my rewards hadn't been posted on my account but he'll look into it. I checked two days later, nothing had changed and another manager said they would look into it again. It's over a week now and my rewards were never posted. I'm very disappointed in going through increased percentages with the tips and rewards program that's kind of sad. Because of this experience, I was wondering whether I've had rewards issues in the past that I didn't follow up on. John Fischer, 217.971.6635.

We sat on the patio, which is nicely shaded. The seats were plenty big for us, however the 'butt space' on each is somewhat limited. Chairs were very lightweight. There are long tables, smaller circular ones, and a Bar inside. We pulled up the online ordering platform from the QR code. My phone was being a bit slow, but I didn't know the restaurants Wi-Fi password to try that, so after a few tries we did get connected on cellular. Ordering is fairly easy and straightforward. Beer came out in a few minutes and food took about 10. When the server delivered the food I asked for a glass of water and after seeing her in and out a few times over 5 minutes, I just went into the bar and got it myself. Food was good. My wife got the Turkey BLTA and a side of coleslaw ($1.50 up charge). The sandwich was very good, with tender and tasty turkey and nicely smoked bacon. I got the Grouper PoBoy and the chips, which are the only side that doesn't require an up charge. The fish was very good and the sandwich sauce and pickled veggies were a great blend of flavors. The chips have a slightly sweet taste. They were ok, but I'd probably try a different side if I went back. The bathrooms are through the restaurant and shared with some other businesses. The men's seemed ok, but my wife said the women's was a bit beat up. The restaurant is addressing it-see picture of the sign. Tip on the app defaults to 20%, and while I'm generally a good tipper, I did not tip that much due to the lack of service.
