The gameday wings here are really good. And much bigger than what you get at Buffalo Wild Wings. Also, in 2013, Big River has NFL Sunday Ticket so you can watch your team and enjoy craft beer. 5 stars

Sweet Magnolia Brown Ale is rich and well balanced. Would go well with any burgers on the list. Pilsner is a surprise hit, the Saaz hops spicy notes really comes through. If available, get the Gose!

Samples are free, the maibock lager is amazing. Great micro brew beer. Happy hour is ends at 6:30 so go early the deals are great!

If you had exceptional service, let the manger know. Whoever treated you like a rockstar will receive a free meal! I was happy to know my server, Dacey, would be rewarded for a job well done!

Good food selection. Very pleased that they had a stout on draft. Very few places have stouts or porters on draft. The Iron Horse Stout was excellent. The brown ale was OK.

Had the flight, I really enjoyed all of the beers. My favorite is the Sweet Magnolia but the IPA and the Stout are really good as well. Terminal doesn't come close in terms of quality.

We came here in 2017 and my wife has been talking about the fish tacos ever since. We finally made it back and they lived up to the memories!

Order the Maibock. Maybe two. It's the Spring seasonal, so get it while you can: with a rich caramel flavor, smooth drinkability, and BR's highest alcohol content, this is the perfect beer.

Pretzel appetizer was delicious - it is new to their menu. I loved the Mac-n-cheese, and my fiancé love the blackened mahi sandwich!

The lobster & shrimp enchiladas were fantastic. The blue corn tortillas were a wee bit tough, but there was no skimping on the lobster. Decent beer selection, but more lighter beers than dark.

Maddie our server was awesome and on top of things. Apparently it's true that telling the manager your server is exceptional will get them a free meal, though she was sheepish to confirm this tip!

I had the bacon chicken Mac + cheese, it was delicious! I also had the house stout which was surprisingly fantastic
Dustin TannerApril 29, 2012
Great food and beer! California Chicken sandwich is very good. If you like dark beer, get the Sweet Magnolia. Light beer? The Southern Flower is excellent!

James is a very helpful and knowledgeable bartender. The Shrimp and Grits and the Cajun Fish Tacos are both amazing dishes.

Did you see the BBQ Brisket stuffed hamburger?? It wasn't an illusion. Soooo good!!
Jessica BlackburnMarch 19, 2018
Their cherry porter was outstanding, as were their fish & chips. Everything very perfectly cooked.

Sweet Magnolia Beer is very light, tasty and went perfect with the chicken quesdilla!

Ipa, then stout. The Octoberfest is also quite a good representation if the style, if you are into that

Kelley and I had the Smokey Mtn Pasta with Chicken and it was delicious.
Angelia Marie FridleySeptember 26, 2014
German Sausage Mac and cheese is awesome and the mango ice tea was refreshing!!

If u go in at around 10, you'll be asked to seat yourself in the bar. After that, the servers seem to get pretty focused on cleaning up and your chances of being served drop to roughly zero.

Good place for food and location is outstanding. Different beers are great.

Summer wheat, Firecracker, and Iron horse all delicious! If you like beer I recommend getting the sampler.

So sad. This used to be one of the best FOOD restaurants in Chattanooga, but it's horrible now. Beer is still good... food is horrendous. Nachos!? Went from best to worst! Please bring old food back!

On a hot day the Summer Wheat is really refreshing. Great Beers from top to bottom.

3 words: blackened mahi sandwich. It is to kill for! The Cajun remoulade is out of this world and definitely try their seasonal brew!
Monica VOctober 26, 2013
Fish tacos are AMAZING- and I don't say that very often. Jessica was gret.
Jeff HilimireJuly 30, 2011

Mixed greens does not equal 90% iceberg lettuce. This is why I rarely come here anymore. While I still like the beer, there are much better food choices in Chattanooga.
Kelly MillerMarch 9, 2013
The Mag. Brown Ale is a good choice! The pizza is another!
