    Chicken salad sandwich on a croissant, and broccoli cheese soup
    Susan E.

    I absolutely loved having lunch at the BIG Café. The room is bright, the seating comfortable, and service great and unrushed. Everyone is super friendly. When you go in, find a seat and grab a menu, then order at the register. Your food will be delivered to your table. A friend and I recently had a long weekday lunch, with both of us having sandwiches. Sandwiches came with a choice of sides. I had a chicken salad sandwich, which was served on a croissant, and a cup of broccoli cheese soup. The chicken salad was wonderful, but the croissant was dry. The soup was very good. My friend had a grilled cheese sandwich and a salad. Her sandwich was loaded with cheese. The baked goods at the counter looked scrumptious, but we did not partake. I would definitely return for the food, but also because the profits go to a good cause.

    1/2 sandwich (jacked club & soup (tomato basil)
    Lisa M.

    Enjoyed a delicious lunch here. I had the 1/2 sandwich & soup. The jacked club was tasty and filling. I loved the tomato basil soup. Very cute presentation with homemade croutons on the spoon. Service was friendly. Will be back! What a cute place (plus the Big Store) and a great cause.

    Items from BIG gift shop made by BIG artists
    Gia Z.

    I was beyond thrilled to visit this remarkable place--it truly exceeded my expectations. This café and gift shop is a nonprofit vocational community dedicated to supporting adults with special needs. They craft an array of beautiful items, including pottery, specialty soaps, cards, jewelry, dog treats, cookies, fudge, granola, and pies. The interior of the café and gift shop was stunning, and I hardly knew where to begin describing its charm. **Café:** The setup is straightforward; you place your order at the register. I enjoyed a croissant sandwich filled with egg, bacon, and cheese, complemented by a cup of fresh fruit. My daughter opted for two breakfast tacos paired with a fruit cup. Their menu also features specialty coffee and drinks. The café ambiance is delightful, accompanied by great music. Outdoor seating is available on the patio for those who want to savor the weather. Alternatively, if you prefer a quieter atmosphere, you can grab your food to-go and head over to the Sunflower Room across the parking lot. This area offers additional seating both indoors and outdoors. The customer service was exceptional--friendly and welcoming. **Gift Shop:** I fell in love with it! There's a vast selection to explore, from faith-based items and gorgeous jewelry to clothing and children's goods. However, the handmade creations by the BIG citizens stole the show for me. Words can hardly do justice to how incredible these handcrafted items are. Each piece comes with a card introducing the artist behind it, making the experience even more meaningful. While the shop boasts other wonderful products, my focus was mainly on the BIG handmade creations. I couldn't resist buying a few treasures, including earrings ($15 each), trinket holders ($10 each), bracelets ($15 each), and a beautifully handcrafted card ($6 each). These items are not just stunning; they carry the unique stories of their creators and offer a sense of fulfillment knowing my purchases support them. After checking out, I discovered that the Sunroom features a gallery showcasing even more BIG artists' creations. I wandered over there and was blown away by the breathtaking pottery and other handmade items. If only I had a bigger budget--I wanted to take it all home! This will undoubtedly be my go-to destination for unique and meaningful gifts. I'm already looking forward to returning for both the café and the gift shop!

    What a beautiful concept. Great space, good labor, and a sweet atmosphere. I saw this place and wanted to visit months ago. Just today, I had the chance. I had breakfast, the parfait with the Big biscuit with jam and an Americano. I bought a pair of eco-friendly shades, and visited the "what looks like" a green house, but it's just the extension of the shopping area where I bought my dear friend a gift. They have opportunities to volunteer and spread the world. It's important to support local businesses but also get involved in the community and give your time for something that brings love and kindness to others. I'm glad I know about this place. Thank you for opening businesses like this!

    Great spot for a relaxed bite--loved the perfectly toasted sandwich and fresh sides. The cappuccino was smooth, showing real attention to quality. Simple, tasty, and definitely worth a visit.

    Turkey sandwich & fruit cup
    Denise D.

    I can't believe I waited 3 years to eat here! What a fun and fabulous place! Amazing food, sweet service, and they have a gift shop to boot! The dining area consists of both indoor & outdoor areas, and there is shade. I ordered the turkey cranberry sandwich with the tomato soup and it was delicious!! The plating is very appetizing! If you are looking for a nice lunch give Big Kitchen a try! You won't be sorry!

    Blackbean, quinoa, sweet potato salad with honey dressing.
    Laura P.

    I had an excellent experience at this restaurant today. I started by walking through the beautiful boutique, I can hardly wait to come back and spend some money here. They have beautiful Christmas items right now. We waited in a short line to be seated, the restaurant was busy. One of the ladies working took the time to find us a table while we were waiting in line, that was very kind because we did not ask her to do that. At this restaurant, one orders upfront and then sits down and waits for their food. They have a wonderful seasonal menu right now. I enjoyed a black bean, quinoa, sweet potato salad with a honey dressing and gluten-free bread on the side. I complemented this with some loose leaf, black tea, which was perfect. My husband had breakfast tacos, which were quite large and on flour tortillas; he enjoyed them very much. He topped them off with a Dr Pepper. I can't say enough nice things about this restaurant, you just gotta come here.! Every time I visit this restaurant , it's absolutely splendid!

We will definitely go back and visit on our next trip to Georgetown.

I don't know what they do to make the mocha I ordered but it came in parts, my oat milk in a cute little pitcher and the chocolate espresso in my mug. It was SO GOOD before I even put the oat milk in!! Oh! And the guys in front of me ordered breakfast burritos and they seemed so excited to be able to return for them that I had to follow suit. WORTH IT. Yum! Check out my photo! I got bacon but there's a whol menu of things and if the quality is anything like those huge burritos, then you'll be in heaven!

    Awful customer service. Especially when making reservations…read more I go here a lot, because I like dry aged steak, but I can't get over the customer service around reservations. As a combat vet, I feel uncomfortable AF eating in the middle of a tiny and cramped dining room. The dining room is so small and packed here that I'm surprised that the fire marshal even allows that many people to be sat in there. Still, when I ask for a booth and say that I don't want to eat in the middle of that tiny dining room when I make a reservation, I find it odd to be sat in the middle of the dining dining room only to see that there's multiple parties that were just sat in booths and haven't even gotten their drinks yet--like, they were just sat before us (and we were on time for our reservation). I think you could have a little more respect for your customers is all. For that reason alone, you're not worth the price of your half-baked pretense in my opinion. You get a one-star for that reason alone. On the quality front, the ribeyes I get are more and more consistently riddled with connective tissue and are hard to eat, with a lot of waste. Not exactly the quality of meat cut one expects for the price. Sometimes they nail it, but I'd say at least a third of the time my ribeyes are almost half scrap. The quality seems to be diminishing since I first started frequenting this place. So, perhaps your supplier sucks. Idk. Pick your meat better if you want to demand higher prices. I think I'll stop coming back at this point. 2020 Market has good steak, too. Only I haven't dealt with so much connective tissue in my steak there. And also, I haven't had issues with my reservations there. So you lose me to your competition after having gotten so much money out of me. Consistent quality and customer service could maintain such consistent regular customers in your sales. What a weird way to lose customers. Your whole business is customer service and cooking food well. Do better.
