    Garlic Rosemary Focaccia
    Brita R.

    I went to this new Big Grove Brewery & Taproom location in Cedar Rapids that I had never been to before with family for lunch while visiting. I liked the nice lighting and atmosphere. We enjoyed a delicious appetizer of Garlic Rosemary Focaccia. I ordered their Fire Chicken Bao Buns (without the fire sauce) and it was absolutely delicious. My husband got their BrewPub Burger and fries, and loved every bite. Everyone was very delighted with their food and drinks. Service was exceptional as well! Our server: kept our drinks full, was very personable, and even changed the tv station for us on one of the tvs, so we could watch the Indiana Fever Women's Basketball game. Very cool place!! Great experience!! Definitely recommend!!

    My friend had a beer flight. She loved it!

    Me and me friend stop in to check this spot out for lunch in hopes of making this the place of her future bachelorette party. After chatting with a few of the staff members we decided we would go with setting up a reservation a few months in advance. We choose to eat outside, which was so nice on the cloudy rainy day. The covered patio is so protective that you stay totally dry. It was great. The food was great. My friend had the beer flight and chicken bao buns. She said everything was wonderful. I loved my pork Sami. Only thing was it was kinda dry. Not much flavor either. More as sauce would have been nice. Otherwise we had a great time and will for sure be back.

    Can't beat the ambiance at Big Grove CR. The new menu was excellent, but still kept some of the favorites. Service is excellent. The employees are all very kind and thorough. Can't beat the outdoor space on a nice day.

    Macaroni and cheese with pork

    We had a group of 18 who used call ahead seating and got to sit in a big group. We had the best service! You order a beer and somebody immediately brought it to you! We had fried chicken sandwiches & it came with yummy fries. The chicken was thick and juicy. Hubbies had macaroni and cheese with pork. Hubby said next time he would ask for no barbecue sauce in his, but otherwise really enjoyed it. Another friend had the half Mediterranean chicken and was very disappointed in how bony it was and how little meat it had. This place runs like a well oiled machine! We didn't have to wait long for our food and the waitress was on top of everything. A great place!!

    They did an awesome job creating a familiar yet distinct new Big Grove taproom in Cedar Rapids. Food is good- has the classics from the other locations!

    Fried chicken sandwich

    I tried the fried chicken sandwich. You can tell it's made to order . The ambience is cool for a quick lunch or watch a game

    Cauliflower wings with buffalo sauce, Smokey BBQ, and Chili Oil.

    Did Friday lunch with a large group and had a solid experience. Service was good though the food was a little slow. Everyone in our group was pretty happy with their food, quantity and taste were solid. I went with the cauliflower wings and was real happy with them, also great buffalo sauce. The chili oil sauce was bland and flavorless though. On the beer front was a solid 4/5 which is why the 4stars, was much better than I expected. The Arms Race was good as was the Easy Eddy though both were missing that solid hoppy pop I expect with something hazy or IPA. Another big plus, half pours were half the price of full pours which makes sense but you don't see very often. Beautiful and clean space inside and looks like a great set up outdoors when the weather is nice. Would definitely recommend and hope to go back next time we're in town.

    Server was fast to ask us what we want to drink/eat, and delivery our food. The food was good. I got the chicken sandwich, my pops got the burger, mom got the garlic shrimp, and brother got the noodle bowl. The chicken sandwich was good, but my Dad's Burger was mid. He's made better burgers by himself and there was no onions, when we asked about the onions our waiter said that they don't have onions anymore. Did the onions just grow legs and run away? Mom said her shrimp was really good and my brother liked the noodles. The food was good but pricey. The music they were playing was corny 2019 music, but the bear on the wall was sick.

    Drink menu.  It's just not beer
    Lori C.

    I'm in love! Great beers, food. It was their opening night, and it was crowded, but they nailed it Our waitress. Sorry I can't remember her name. Was perfect l. There when we wanted her, but not hovering. The venue is roomy yet comfortable. It's Big Grove, so the beers were excellent. So happy to see they offer the brewers board, which is excellent, but the not the hit of the evening. It was the rueben bao buns. OMG! Delicious. Overall a 10+ evening.

    What a fabulous addition to Cedar Rapids! I love how all Big Grove's locations are thoughtfully designed and different in their own ways. This one, like most, boasts a huge indoor space that opens to (via garage doors) with a large covered, outdoor area adorned with multiple fire pits. It has a stage so I imagine a lot of music will be played during warmer months! It has a gorgeous party room that can accommodate well over 100. I was recently at an event there and the staff was wonderful! There was an open bar and the seasonal cocktails were good. Food featured included pretzels/charcuterie, pulled pork mac n cheese, fried chicken sliders, mixed salad, chicken wings, and other items. They were great! No complaints here-- the fried chicken sandwich really hit the spot. And as always, you can't go wrong with a Big Grove pretzel! The only downside I see is parking-- which any biz that can accommodate this many people would have an issue with. Kingston Yard Parking is a short walk away and there's also street parking nearby. Additionally, Cedar Rapidians really enjoy a happy hour. I can see folks not enjoying the steep price tag on a beer here but down the street it being served up half price. Big Grove Brewery & Taproom does beer right, does food right and has one of the coolest taprooms in the state. Check out this location and any of its others. (IC, Solon or DSM)

This is a gem that needs to be upvoted. We ordered the $21 ribeye, thinking ya sure, ribeye for $21 where everywhere else is $30 to $40 dollars. It was delicious, perfectly done to my request, great sides of potatoes and zucchini and Chimichirri sauce. We also ordered the Asian Potsticker Salad. Again, just delicious. With two amber pints for happy hour we the best dinner in months. Help was exceptional and all employees looked to be very happy working there, I asked. Highly recommend, and we'll be going back to try all there other specialties.

I love that they constantly rotate their pizza of the week. Even when I'm hesitant because it's something I've never tried before, I find myself excited and eager to go for it--because everything here is consistently a 10. After experiences like this, it's hard not to trust every specialty pizza they put out. Our server, Lexi, was absolutely on point--friendly, so personable . They also let you sample any beer you're curious about, which I really appreciate. I tried the Cotton Candy beer, and it was over-the-moon good. I'm not a big beer drinker at all, and I honestly couldn't believe it was beer. I also got to sample the drinks my party ordered--wow. Every visit, there are new beers on tap. You might miss one and wish it was still around, but the ever-rotating selection is just another reason this place is such a delight. As for the food, I took a leap of faith with the Sriracha BLT pizza. I was very hesitant, but I threw caution to the wind--and I'm so glad I did. It was absolutely fabulous.
