Big Grove has become a regular stop for me since they opened, and for good reason. The menu is on…read morethe smaller side, but everything I've tried has been solid -- the fried chicken sandwich especially stands out. The drink selection is a highlight too; good variety across beers and seltzer options that keeps things interesting no matter what mood you're in. Last night was the one time things felt a little off -- the margarita came across watered down, and our waitress seemed to be rushing us through the meal. But that's been the exception, not the rule. Every other visit the service has been warm and attentive. One off night doesn't undo a track record of good experiences, and I'll definitely be back.

Chips & queso was fine but kinda cold unfortunately. I liked the fried chicken sandwich, I enjoyed how crispy it was. Service was eh, I felt like it took foreverrrrr for us to get food, drinks & the check at the end. She was nice but also seemed like she didn't really like her job. Not sure if I'd be back to this place.

They have a great selection of German and euro beers, in addition to domestic and mixed drinks, seltzers, etc. The food is definitely a reason to check it out! They have one of--maybe THE--best Reuben in Omaha, so if you're looking for good food and good beer, check it out! The Oktoberfest party is epic, definitely come check that out, and it's pretty fun at Christmas, all the decor is very euro-Christmas vibes. The service is great, quick, friendly, and no nonsense, just what you'd expect from a dive.

We were told by our Uber driver that we had to visit the Crescent Moon Ale House for their version…read moreof the Reuben. We were being driven to the Orleans Room for their Reuben, which was excellent by the way. I can't say the same for the Crescent Moon sandwich. Crescent Moon is actually just kitty corner of the Orleans Room, so the walk was short. It is basically a dive which is fine, we expected that by the Uber driver's comments. The Deep Fried Pickles were excellent. The three ciders that our daughter sampled were not pleasing to her, so she had a cocktail. I had a Sierra Nevada Pilsner, which was fine. But the Reubens, and why we came, were awful. Our daughter, said it best when the sandwich had a mayonnaise texture. I realized the 1000 dressing that was served on the Reuben was too heavy of mayo. The presentation was also terrible. Open them up so we can see the inside of the sandwich, and both slices of the bread were broken...as you can see on the pics. We packaged the sandwiches to go as were were planning to be on a plane the next day back to Oregon. We intentionally left them at the table. They were that bad. Zoe was a pleasant BT/Server who was available whenever we needed her. But food is why we went there, and it was not good.

Great selection of craft beers and lots of fun new things to try. The food was good, but not great in my opinion. However, we only tried the one flatbread so I would definitely go back and try something different next time. Overall, a very cool spot!

We had a nice time at Site-1 Brewing. We came on a Friday for lunch which is the only day they're…read moreopen for lunch btw. We started with the chip and dip which is a house made French onion, it was a nice little starter. Paired well with my beer which was a site lite. It was also solid. I had the Cadillac pizza and so did my buddy. I enjoyed it, it was a little thinner than other Detroit style I've had which isn't necessarily a negative thing just a difference. My other friend got the strato bird sandwich. She said it was tasty and the focaccia bread was really good. Overall had a good experience and will be back. The staff was friendly enough but not super enthusiastic to be there haha. The place is large with lots of seating with some big picnic tables and board games would be a great place to spend extended time with a group of all sizes.

First impressions? Huge, bright dining room! Almost distractingly so. But let's be honest--I didn't…read morecome to Backlot Taphouse for the square footage. I came for the Detroit-style pizza, easily the most underrated pizza style there is. If you know, you know. I ordered The Cadillac: cream cheese, cherry peppers, hot honey. On paper, it's chaos. In practice? A beautifully thought-out balance of sweet and spicy. Rich without being heavy, heat without going overboard. Someone in that kitchen gets it. And for a moment, it's flirting with greatness. Almost a perfectly executed Detroit pie... until the crust. That signature Detroit crisp--the caramelized, fried-edge crunch--is just a little undercooked. Not bad, but quickly soggy. Just missing that final snap that makes this style elite. Still, credit where it's due. This is a valiant effort, and not an easy style to pull off outside its home turf. I see you, Omaha. You're closer than you think!
