    Cheesesteak w/onion rings
    Kimberly C.

    In my opinion, this is one of the best places to eat in the area. Casual and family friendly environment suited for any groups. We ordered the sloppy James with fries and the beef cheesesteak sandwich with onion rings. We also had water and coffee. The coffee was OK. Let me start by saying the portions are large and well worth the money spent. The sloppy James is quite good and I heard it's quickly becoming one of the more popular things on the menu. You definitely want to be hungry though because the sandwich is equivalent to 2 regular size sandwiches. It's not the rich, old school tomatoey sloppy Joe you may remember. It is full of flavor and topped with cheese. The fries are average and on the thinner side (NOT shoestring). The cheesesteak is also huge! Best cheesesteak I've had in the tristate area, in fact. Loaded with beef, onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms. I opted for mayo on mine as well. The steak wasn't super chewy and no hard gristle pieces, which was terrific!!! The onion rings were made with red onions, and honestly, the best I've ever had. I'm an onion ring snob! Just a hint of sweetness, with the most perfectly delicate and crisp batter. I do recommend calling ahead to check if a reservation is needed, as they were hopping with business and I think we lucked out getting a table!

    Soup and salad combo. Soup was Texas chili.
    Panette P.

    Ordered soup n salad combo. Salad was fresh with romaine, tomatoes, red onion, balsamic vinegar. Soup I ordered was Texas chili. While it was labeled as spicy, I did not find it spicy at all. The salad was good, but boring. It could have used a little something extra to make it special... like sunflower seeds or radishes. There was a lot of red onion on the salad so I scooped it off and put it on top of the chili because it was a good fit there. The chili was made with ground beef and black beans and had nice flavor The red onions I took from the salad went well with the cheese and jalapeños topping the chili, the soup and salad combo came with crackers, which was nice. Great atmosphere in a converted historic industrial bldg. Good service, staff attentive and friendly. Clean bathroom.

    Cuban sandwich and onion rings.
    Alison Z.

    What a wonderful find in Batesville!! I was at Sunshine Sisters (a darling plant and gift store!) and checked Yelp to see what was near me. Luckily Big Four was just across the street!! What a wonderful surprise!! I ordered the Cuban sandwich with onion rings both were great!! What I loved is the waiter was passionate about the menu! I always ask staff what they love and it's telling to see what they say! He was attentive and made sure my experience at the restaurant was a positive one! Customer service deserved more stars!! Also that everything is fresh!! I will definitely be back!!

    Super cute dining room, and lots of space between tables.

    What a gem of a cafe, hidden inside a remodeled old furniture factory. The service here was impeccable. The food tasty and fresh. $70 fed six of us, not a bad value for breakfast. The pancakes are huge! Chicken and waffles were very tasty. But the best dish is the breakfast quesadilla. 12.99 and loaded with meat and more. So damn tasty. This is a destination restaurant, not just a place to eat when your in the area. Note: reservations are highly recommended.

    Breakfast Quesadilla
    Katy M.

    I'll start this off with saying if your thinking about going here for breakfast, call now for a reservation as odd as that may seem. They seat reservations first and it seems to be their preference. We were asked if we had one and felt as in inconvenience because we didn't. There was 7 tables with a reserved sign on the whole time we were there. It seemed so odd to me considering it's a small breakfast place, you'd think you'd want to take care of those who came to eat. The food was pretty good for breakfast. We all very much enjoyed the gravy. The sausage was a bit off looking as if they stuff it themselves or something. Our waiter was great and very tentative during our visit which was great. He made sure to not let our drinks go empty which is always appreciated!

    Breakfast Burrito
    Lacee F.

    Went on a Sunday morning and service was excellent. Got seated right away and enjoyed a delicious mimosa and breakfast burrito. Food was fresh, large portion, and relaxed atmosphere. Staff was attentive and helpful. Other drink options included bloody Mary's, wine, beer and specialty coffee. Wonderful restaurant and already planning my next visit.

    So decided to stop here for lunch yesterday and we went in the parking lot and there were no…read moreparking spaces. So we decided to go do something else and come back. So we came back about 12:30 and the parking lot was still full and it looks like that was all people at the golf course because when we went in there were only three tables seated and probably 6 dirty tables with dishes stacked on them. We were behind a couple of people at the host stand and she went to seat them and said she would be back and then when she came back she said hang on I've got to go do something else so we finally did get seated after a good wait at the host stand. She was going to seat us at a high top and my friend just had hip surgery and couldn't sit at a high top so that was my fault for not saying something up front because then she had to clean off one of those dirty tables to get us a seat. I ordered a smoked Cherry old fashioned and my friend had not decided what she wanted yet so I got mine first while she was thinking about getting one. So I took a drink of it and she took a drink of mine and went ahead and ordered one. I was not too impressed with it it was very Cherry forward and not really boozy but when she got hers it was a different animal hers was boozy like it should be so there was some inconsistency there. Our waitress was nice enough but it appeared that there was not enough help in the restaurant and that may have been what led to all the dirty tables she seemed to be doing a little bit of everything so she wasn't overly attentive to our table. I ordered the carne asada fries and my friend ordered the southwest salad. My friend loved her salad and my fries were fine but we're not real hot and by the time you got to the bottom they were all soggy. This is a newly opened place so maybe they will get better with time and then we will try them again. We will follow the reviews and see what happens.

There was a total of four in our section and everybody's food was coming out slow not happy at all with the performance not even an apology as we were getting ready to leave may not ever come back.

Would not have been a bad choice - and for sure they have good chicken. But the choice to eat at the Brau Haus was almost like dying and going to heaven. It's a smaller place than I expected. But honestly - get over it really quick. You can not get chicken like they make anywhere I have been - not in Indianapolis. What ever the price I paid to drive there 75 minutes away? It was worth it. We ordered the chicken dinner for 2. And it came with a small portion of slaw..or a salad. Me and the wife are slaw people. And it was small...but really yummy. But not too long after - the star attraction arrived. A large place of chicken, 10 pieces..(not little weenie pieces) and mashed potatoes and gravy and green beans along with a few rolls and butter. The chicken was truly so hot - I had to pace myself eating because you could really see the steam coming off of it. But the skin...and the coating? My grandmother has passed many years ago - but I would have had to tell her she has serious competition. This chicken was surely what they serve if you get lucky enough to end up in heaven. The sides - the green beans and mashed potatoes were crazy good too and plenty warm. Our very pleasant waitress was Dawn and she was there to help with anything we needed. This truly is the tenderest most moist chicken you are going to get. I wanted to enjoy their pie also - but there was just no room in my belly and we were too far from home to cart 3 or 4 big pieces. I plan on taking that trip down I74 on the regular. It's a beautiful drive and quite honestly - Oldenburg is a super great place to visit. And for me - no need to try anyone elses chicken. I know where the best is.
