    First Anniversary cupcakes
    Margery Z.

    Our waitress was so incredibly busy as I think she was handling all of the downstairs tables. She checked on me several times, asking whether I needed a water refill and promptly brought me another when requested. She managed all of the tables very well!!! We ordered the nacho platter, having seen one on another table. It looked quite impressive. The chips were piled high with red onions, tomatoes and fresh jalapeños liberally covering the nacho chips. There was a lot of crema over everything. We did not run into "dry chips" until we were very close to the bottom of the pile. I noticed the shredded cheddar hiding at the bottom of the nachos. I wish there had been more cheddar throughout the nachos, with the tomatoes, onions and jalapeños. I think cheddar has more flavor than crema. We did not add chicken or beef(small upcharge). We were here for the first anniversary of this location. There was a raffle and we had tickets, but I could not hear the announcer who was in the upper level of the restaurant. We were seated in the lower level. There were First Anniversary cupcakes. Our waitress was very nice and brought us a to-go container of a couple of cupcakes as it was not clear when and where the cupcakes cakes were going to be brought out. Our waitress gets 5 stars; the nachos, only 4.

    Having heard about the new location of Big Ditch, my wife and I decided to check it out while in the area. We were very impressed with the beautiful building this business is located in. Upon entering, we weren't sure where to go, but saw a staff member and were immediately seated. Later on, I learnt that there was a huge bar and game area below. They have a huge variety of beer, and I initially thought I would choose a flight. Not being a big drinker though, and knowing what I like (stouts and porters), I just got a porter, whereas my wife got a stout. Both were delicious. I also ordered a green Chile smash burger, which was one of the best burgers Ive had. I don't go to Big Ditch too often, but in the few times I have been there, every dish had their flavors married together perfectly. Mostly, breweries ace in the alcohol and just have mediocre to average food. Big Ditch does this differently though, and I appreciate them for that. The area we were seated in was beautiful to where we sat down and just looked around, while waiting for our food. The staff was very attentive and friendly too. I would highly recommend checking this place out and definitely prefer it over the one downtown.

    We visited on Saturday afternoon and the place was busy. I had the No Punts Intended American Pilsner and it was good . Next I ordered the Smash burger with fresh cut fries. The burger was excellent and the burger sauce was very tasty. I love how open the space was. Restrooms were in the basement and my stall was out of toilet paper. My friend chose not to use the restroom because there were too many stairs to climb .

    Reuben with fries and pickle

    First off, I have to say, I love that they opened Big Ditch in the old post office. It's such a beautiful building! When we walked in we were promptly greeted and told there were tables available inside or a 15 minute wait to sit outside. We opted to sit outside, so we headed to the upstairs bar for a drink; there is also a bar in the basement that I think is only open on the weekend. The bartender was friendly. Amongst our group, we had a cider, a sour beer and a margarita. All of them were good. They offer smaller pours (I think it was 5oz) as well as flights. We were texted when our table was ready. You can't transfer your bar tab to your table, so you have to cash out first. After seated out on the patio, it took a little bit for our waitress to arrive; apparently there was some confusion about the table numbers. The menu is a pretty basic bar menu; apps, burgers, salads, sandwiches. After we ordered, our food arrived in a decent amount of time. We got a Reuben, roast beef with gf bun and a burger. With the sides of fries, you are given an option of different aoilis and I opted for a vinegar one. It was pretty good and an interesting option to have. My friend who got the gf roll said it was good and did not fall apart like she experiences with many gf rolls. My Reuben tasted good and was not dried out. The burger was enjoyed. I think all of our dishes came with a pickle spear, which I saved for last because I love a good pickle. Welp, here came the disappointment. The pickle was so mushy it could barely be picked up, but I persisted so I could get a bite. It had good flavor, but the texture was horrible! It was so soft I could have chewed it with ease had I not had any teeth. All in all this was a good experience, but I will be very hesitant about the pickles should I visit again. Update: There is NOT an extra charge to pay with card instead of cash... I must have confused it with another restaurant we were looking into. Thanks for the clarification, Matt :)

    Fries with malt vinegar aoli sauce

    We came her for lunch on a Friday and truly enjoyed our meal and experience. It was our first time at the Lockport location and they did a wonderful job keeping the history of the building and town at the forefront of the building and decor. We were seated right away and our waitress was attentive. We ended up getting an order of fries to start and each got a bowl. Both the Southwestern bowl and Mediterranean bowls were tasty! We added chicken for a bit more protein. Overall, great meal. We'll be back!

    We arrived at 530 on a Saturday evening and were seated immediately. This is a sizable location, with outdoor seating available and lots of parking in the back. There are pictures of the old days on the Erie Canal, and several TVs. I ordered a pint of Lockport Extra Special which is similar to an English ale, and it was very good. My choice for dinner was the breuben sandwich, which comes with fresh cut fries, and a choice of dipping sauces for the fries. The serving was plentiful and satisfying. I expect we will be back.

    We were in town visiting family and doing some college tours. Visiting Big Ditch was a welcome surprise! The venue is unexpectedly stunning. The bathrooms were spotless. Our waitress was attentive and professional. The food and beer were both spectacular. Our party ordered a Cobb salad, a seasonal salad, and the Vodka Pizza! Wow... all delicious. I read some negative reviews for this place early on but it sure seems like they have it together now! If you're in the area, go check it out!

    This is a welcome addition to Lockport, New York. They did a beautiful job converting the space, which has so much room and covers multiple floors. The food was good and on brand with the downtown location. We really liked the Gaucho sandwich and the dippers. Not pictured is an amazing Pineapple Burner beer, which is a take on their famous Hay Burner. It's delicious and refreshing. We enjoyed our cocktails too, which I love as I am not a huge beer drinker. Everyone was friendly. We will be back a ton.

    Mother's Day brunch- we didn't have reservations but were able to be accommodated at the bar…read more Service was attentive and relatively quick based on the crowd. Food was good. The price was a bit more than I thought it was worth for the breakfast platter and shrimp & rice (not quite Hawaiian fried but good). Except for the lobster Mac & cheese. Real huge lobster chunks- large portion. Mom was happy so that's what mattered! Loud, family friendly location. Lots of seating.

As we've eaten here before, we got the nachos and chicken Mac and cheese. The nachos were the saddest looking thing we've ever seen. No toppings on half of them. When we brought it to Michelle's attention, she offered to bring us more (pico, cheese and beans). She did say portion sizes have changed according to the kitchen-okay so $14 for less food, got it. But at least she tried. Then the mac and cheese came out. This couldn't be disappointing, right? Well. Despite us ordering the EXACT same thing, my husbands portion was literally double the size of mine!! It was like I had the kids version. I'm Not sure if Ray Charles was in charge of portion control but it was such a disappointment and we will not be back. $51 plus tip for a terrible valentines meal. Thank you, Michelle , for trying your best. NYBP, do better.

    Their holiday mimosa flights can be hit or miss relative to marketing, but the food is always solid. No more Cali bennies though. Sad.

My…read moreselection tonight was their Hefeweizen, which was excellent and I would highly recommend to Hef fans. I paired that with a tasty pile of sweet potato waffle fries and a side of honey for dipping them in. The fries were a perfect blend of crispy outside and soft inside, just a touch of salt, and the honey is genius (it's an extra $1 and well worth it). Several other beers on the menu look tempting too, and they make their own pizza dough! Another plus: the owners are friendly awesome people. I am very likely to return. The inside seating area is larger than it looks like from the outside, with plenty of seating at the bar and at tables, plus an outdoor patio. Restrooms are clearly marked and easy to access. There are several large TVs showing various sports games - no closed captions though. Music is nice, there was an upbeat jazz background while I was there. It's on the louder side but not too loud to have conversations. If you don't get lucky with a parking spot out front, there is a decent sized free parking lot just down the street and around a corner. This is another win for the beer passport!

The place is huge with ample seating at both the bar and tables. Almost everyone was at the bar and we wanted to taste our beers in peace, so we went for a table. My wife and I each got a flight, so I got to try most of their offerings. My favorites were the Steampunk Cider and the Winter Ale. Both were packed with flavor! The bartender was friendly and checked on us a few times, even though he was swamped by those at the bar. We didn't opt for any food from the kitchen, but were glad to see there's the option to chow down while drinking. An added perk was that finding parking on a weeknight was super easy. We were able to practically park in front of it. I would definitely return. Cool little spot!
