All love to Big Game and everyone I have had the pleasure to meet there! Big Game was an establishment that was a corner stone of some of my best memories since moving to Atlanta. read more

I came here on a Saturday night around 7:30 pm for dinner and it was decently crowded but there were still a lot of open seats. Unfortunately the service here is slow. It's of no fault to the wait staff; it just seems that any time I come here, there aren't enough servers. For this reason, expect to fill up your own water and not be checked out during your meal. The bison burger is really good and I highly recommend. While the fries have a nice flavor with the rosemary and fried in the duck fat, they are overly salted. I even asked for light salt this time and they were still very salty. The Brussel sprouts were also extremely salty and a bit undercooked. They lacked any true flavor and were nothing special. I'm usually very excited to get Brussel sprouts out at restaurants but I could've made better at home. There are lots of TVs, though, so if you're looking for a game to watch, it's a good spot. read more

This was perhaps the loudest sports bar I have ever been to. We sat right next to a TV and kept getting stereo sound from the tv and the speakers in the restaurant. With that being said, there are a ton of TVs so it's a good spot to watch sports (maybe just don't sit right next to a TV). The service was very quick and our server was very kind. She tried to work on the audio issue for us. The food is a little below the average Atlanta sports bar but the prices are also lower than most, so I would say overall you get what you pay for. They have big tables, so it's a good place if you are planning to watch a game with a lot of friends (as long as you aren't trying to have a lot of conversation) read more

Should be called Big Lame. A sports bar that can't change their TVs. It was on college softball, and they couldn't change it to ESPN to watch the friggin NBA playoffs. The patron next to me said their TV situation is F'ed. I asked the waitress how long this has been going on, and she said since December 2024! Inexcusable to be a sports bar and not be able to show an NBA game on ESPN. Also the Ambience is off, it is way too bright in there on evening. I went for burger week, and actually the burger was phenomenal. Tasted like a good quality Chili cheese burger. Drinks were just fine but a little pricey. Tried calling them on a Thursday multiple times to see when their Kitchen closed, no one would pick up. Bottom line: Food is pretty good, ambience is way off, a sports bar that can't change their TVs and way too bright inside. I think this place would be awesome with better management. Great concept and solid food, just don't depend on Big Lame to show your game. read more

As I arrived, I noticed a parking deck right next to the restaurant. Since I was dropped off this time, I didn't have to worry about parking, but I later learned it is paid parking and Big Game does not validate. Street parking is also an option, if you can find a spot. I walked in, and the first thing I noticed was the spacious interior with a large bar and plenty of seating. I spotted my friend right away, and we grabbed a high-top table. The place was filled with TVs, I expected one super big screen on a main wall, but instead, there were multiple TVs, of varying sizes, scattered everywhere. No matter where you sat, you were not going to miss the game. Our server stopped by with paper menus that had clearly seen better days. We checked out the beer list (about 15 - 20 options, including the usual suspects and a some craft choices), and I went with the Night on Ponce from Three Taverns. The drinks came out quickly, and we settled in, talking and watching the games. When it came time to order food, I chose the buffalo chicken sandwich without blue cheese, and my friend went for the grouper sandwich with fries. The food also came out quickly, and the portions were huge, so big I had to cut my sandwich in half and could barely finish it. The chicken was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and full of flavor. Definitely the right pick for me. We stayed for a while, ordered a few more rounds, and enjoyed the games. Big Game is a solid choice for watching multiple matchups at once. The energy in the room was great, with fans from all different teams getting along and having a good time. Our server, Ryan K, was busy but always around whenever we needed him. He took great care of us. Overall, it was a very good first-time experience, and I'll absolutely be back. 4.5 rating read more

My husband and I was visiting ATL. We wanted to see Sunday games so we chose a Sports Bar by our hotel. First of all the sports bar has so much potential. The chairs were extremely uncomfortable. I saw a comfortable chair posted on their site, Those type of seats NO longer exist there. There were booths up against the wall however higher tables are in front of you blocking the view. Majority of the tables are for a party of 8 or more. Not every game was showing and the tv's were small. We watched morning and afternoon games and purchased food through out our stay. Definitely WOULD NOT RECOMMEND! read more

Great place to catch some sports. Lots of TV's. Barkeeps are friendly...and there lots of room. Parking can be tricky.

Yet another coupon book find!!! This place was really good. It wasn't crowded at all. The inside is really big. They have old school video games and funny signs. Server was multitasking but still did a great job. Ordered two burgers and a squash salad. Burgers were great but I would not get the squash salad again. The taste was nice but the texture was off. I wouldn't mind trying their brunch. read more

Food was great. Atmosphere was good. Sports bar for sure. Service was terrible. And I mean terrible. Took 15 minutes at first to get an order for dinks in. Once those arrived everything slowed way down. Table was never bussed. We were there for 4 hours and had to clean table ourselves. Had to flag server down to get drinks or place an order. If not for the food we would of left. read more

All I have to say is there were mice running around the restaurant. Don't go. Horrible service too.

The food is always surprisingly good when you're expecting sports bar food, but honestly beyond that the service is amazing. This staff is dealing with a lot of people with big feelings and lots of booze and they're always so incredible. Today, Lizzie was the absolute sweetest and took such great care of us and every time I've been here the staff has been wonderful. read more

Maybe we just went on an off night but we were throughly disappointed with our meal. We both got the bison burger with fries. Spinach dip was the appetizer. The dip was just bland. When the burgers were brought out, the fries were cold. So, we had to ask for a new batch. When those arrived, they were super salty. We didn't bother with sending them back because we felt bad for the waitress. It seemed like she was working alone so we didn't want to keep running her back and forth. Since the fries were at least hot, we tried to shake the excess salt off as much as we could and eat them quickly! The burger was good. It came out hot. I didn't eat too much of my burger because the salty fries pretty much ruined my appetite With that being said, the ambiance was nice. I feel like it's probably a great place for drinks. We didn't take before pics but this is what was left over. read more

Service super slow. Only received 1 beer in an hours time. Got to the bar in the first Quarter didn't receive my food until the 4th Quarter. I'll never waste my time or spend another dollar in this place. Very frustrating. Mind you it was a Thursday night. Took them 30 min to find the game on Prime. Save yourself go somewhere else read more

I came to Big Game to watch the UFC fights with some friends and had a pretty good time! It's definitely a nicer and more welcoming atmosphere than a lot of sports bars I've peeped, and they seem to actually care about having good and interesting food on the menu, which is definitely a departure from a lot of sports bars. One of our party enjoyed their nachos, and those of us who got the hot wings were impressed--they were nice and meaty, and actually spicy with ample flavor. I also got the rosemary duck fat fries--couldn't really taste the rosemary, but I always love duck fat fries and these were no exception. Service was great, even though it was a Saturday night it seemed like there was only one server holding down the whole non-bar area. She did a great job despite that and we never felt forgotten. I can't quite tell what vibe they're going for here; some of the menu items feel really upscale, and it seems from the varied game meats and interesting menu items that they're trying to go for a farm-to-table, food focused vibe. On the other hand, the menus are on stained crinkled paper that seems like they photocopied them, and some of the food comes out in green plastic baskets like you're at more of a divey sports bar. I'm a fan of both types of places, but it's a little confusing here what they're trying to portray. That being said, the food was great and I could definitely see myself coming back to try more stuff on the menu. read more

THEY HAVE CHURROS!! So yummy. Service is great and the atmosphere. I also really enjoyed my hot chicken sandwich and wedge salad.

Meatloaf sandwich was absolutely incredible, probably best pub meal I've had. Good solid comfort food with upscale flavors - Wagyu beef, incredible sauce, cheese, and this broccoli garnish that works really well. Duck fat fries on the side. Yum! Nachos were solid as well. Interior vibe is really interesting - think upscale big game lodge crossed with a sports bar. Live edge oak tables, comfy lodge chairs, but TVs all over. Good music, full bar, friendly staff. Biggest complaint is my Guinness poor (served in a Guinness glass no less) was quite shite without the requisite 90 second pause that makes a great poor. And yeah, they probably have a couple too many tables and the chairs could be straightened a bit. But this was super delicious, fun atmosphere, and very well priced. Great addition to the Atlanta scene. read more

Man, this place could be so great... It's a fantastic space in a very up-and-coming part of town, and the food is surprisingly good for such a shitty bar! But boy is it shitty... Service is abysmal (next to non-existent), everything is either stained or broken or peeling, dishware is dirty... It's just one big hilariously chaotic mess. Please give this bar a management/ownership overhaul so it doesn't continue to decline and eventually die! I beg of you... read more

Not a huge fan of this place, it's like sports bar meets fine dining with a twist of venison. The area is nice, the seating is convenient and there are big TVs everyone for your game viewing pleasure, but the ambiance isn't really my style. It's hard to place. The food was unique in that it's all game meat inspired. Antelope, venison, duck, etc. I should have gone with something safer like duck but I wanted to be adventurous and try antelope stew but I deeply regretted it. The meat very much tastes gamely and has a bitter after taste. I'd say for the eater with more delicate palates, go for something more neutral like duck fries and venison burger. Overall interesting experience, don't regret coming here to check it out but probably won't be back. read more

I decided to check out this spot on a fairly warm and sunny day. The bar is the main focal point of the restaurant, with roughly 20 seats give or take. There is also lots of tables and chairs around in the main dining area. I love natural light so the large windows on 75% of the walls was a plus for me. There is also an outdoor patio seating area that I can see being packed in the spring and summer months. They were operating off of a limited food menu and did not have an established drink menu but the bartender (Leslie) said she could make me anything I wanted to drink as long as they had the ingredients. I ordered a Hibiscus Margarita that the bartender recommended, the Ballpark Hotdog, and I opted to try the Frog Legs since she said they didn't actually look like frog (I'm a very visual eater) and I wanted to try something new. Well, the verdict is in, and frog is absolutely NOT for Liselle (shakes head from side to side Undisputed Shannon style: Naaaah). It was tempura fried, but the texture of the actual meat was not for your girl. The Ballpark Hotdog was delicious as it was a Nathan's hotdog which is a fave of mine and the Hibiscus Margarita was also good, a bit tart but nothing a little simple syrup couldn't balance out. The service was good and Leslie was very friendly and conversational. The manager was also quite pleasant and I will definitely be back to try more of their food and drink offerings once available. read more

Atmosphere: Big Game is a spacious restaurant/sports bar in Old Fourth Ward, but it was somewhat empty when we went on a Friday night. The restaurant itself had a lot of seating and TVs, and the bar was comfortable to sit at. Service: We ordered our meal to-go with a bartender, but it took a very long time for our food to come out. We received our food after around 25-30 minutes, which we thought was too long for a basic salad. Our food probably wasn't being made until 20 minutes after we ordered, even though there weren't many people there. Food: We ordered a Classic Wedge Salad. We weren't expecting a fancy salad since we were just looking for a fresh bite. However, we were a bit let down with our meal. Maybe this wasn't communicated well, but we requested the cheese to be put on the side of our salad. From past experience, especially when it comes to to-go salads, dressing would usually be put on the side, but in our case, the bleu cheese crumble and dressing were both smothered on top of the salad and put in serving containers on the side. This made the salad pretty difficult to eat, as we were unable to adjust the amount of cheese and dressing on our dish. The cheese crumble and dressing were pretty overbearing, and needless to say, we didn't even touch the extra side servings of the cheese. Otherwise, the lettuce and bacon were fine but not memorable. Overall: Between the long wait and the disappointing simple salad, we would have to give Big Game a 2-star rating. Although our experience this time was not great, we hope that in the future, we get a chance to try some of their signature dishes or drinks in order to get a more accurate representation of their dining experience. However, for now, it is worth noting that our salad from Big Game wasn't great. read more

Big Game - Buffalo chicken sandwich - Sports Bars Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

A neat place to grab an brew and watch sports . They have some very interesting things on the menu and a good place to check out to try a variety of unique dishes. The bison burger was solid, cooked really well and had just the right amount of cheese . The deviled eggs were really good and the fries cooked in sucks oil was a interesting taste. Over all the service was good and prices were fair , the only warning I would say is stay away from is the "impossible" burger ... lacked flavor and texture. Parking is connected via a garage is a plus. ~FOODis£0¥€ read more

This was the first time we had been here, first and foremost the atmosphere was outstanding. Very laid back and chill, the food was out of this world the mix between wild game and non game was nice to see and the flavor of the burger I had was amazing, our waiter was Patrick and he was very friendly and on top of his game, guy seriously needs a raise. I highly recommend this place to anyone wanting to try something new and different this is one place to check out. GO BILLS read more

WORST SERVICE! Our server Madison.M came to our table twice in 2 hours. Second time was only after trying to flag her down for a second round that never came. Despite the second round being placed on our tab. She would sit for 10 minutes plus at multiple tables to chat with her friends and never once glanced at our table-simply avoided us. We ended up asking another server for the manager so we could pay our tab-30 minutes and no one came. Only time I have ever considered dining and dashing - which was simply because we couldn't pay. The food is solid if it comes without having a flag down the server after 45 minutes to see if they ever entered it. I feel sorry for the manager trying to handle all the horrible reviews/complaints he/she must get due to the service read more

The food is great! Fries were crispy and delicious. The Buffalo chicken sandwich was huge. The Bloody Mary had just the right amount of spice. Just be aware, this place is LOUD when a game is on. They crank the audio so high that you have to yell at the person sitting next to you. Just not my vibe so I probably won't be back. read more

We had stopped in three times before and the food was ok. They changed the menu and the burger was amazing! It's 10$ with fries. The duck fat fries were good. My girlfriend had the pork quesadilla and loved it. It has always had tons of TVs and it's cozy inside. This will be our new go to place because it's up the street from us. Sorry, no photos. The waitress was nice and she said they have a new chef. I will be back to try more. read more

Beltline adjacent restaurant with great food and drinks! The menu: It's changed very recently (the pictures posted are old). It's more traditional bar fare now - think pork nachos, bison burger, fish and chips, meatloaf sandwich, chicken wings, etc. But, they've kept remnants of their fine dining heritage, and that means the food is elevated, but the price point is lower, best of both worlds. The space: Lots of seating, great setup for big groups. You can also grab a seat at the bar, and they have a nice shaded outdoor patio. This is the ideal spot to catch the next Atlanta United or Braves game or big fight night. The drinks: I don't know why I made this a separate category, but it's worth mentioning, they serve good drinks. There's a good selection of rotating drafts from local favorites. They were featuring the New Realm hazy and it was only $4/pint. They also have a full bar with good cocktails. For whatever reason, they're not crowded, so no wait time to get seated (at least until people figure out how good this place is) read more

We came to watch March Madness games, and I was so impressed by the level of service provided despite how busy they were. For food, we had the chicken tenders and the chorizo nachos and both were really solid and came out quickly! Since the COVID pandemic, I have tried to have a lot of grace with and understanding for restaurant and bar staff given the circumstances, but the Patrick at Big Game was really on it in a way I haven't experienced in a while! They have so many TVs and some large projector screens as well, so it's a great place to watch sports. Highly recommend! read more

My car was broken into in their garage. I've seen at least 6 cars with broken windows in their garage and they have little to no security. The place is decent but don't park your car in their garage. I spoke to an employee and they said it happens all the time. read more

My husband and I came in on a Saturday evening. There were a number of open tables and one of the employees told us to sit anywhere. We sat down, used the QR code to open the menu, and waited.

So I live down the street and often go to Bantum for lunch with neighbors as we work from home. On this particular day service was really slow also we decided to walk across the street and try Big Game. Everything was amazing! We had 2 dogs with us and the patio was a great place for them to what what was going on. The waitress so prompt and service continued to be amazing thru the whole lunch. We each go the bison burger with duck fat French fries - so yummy! There are a lot of things I'm excited to try on the menu so we will definitely be going here more often as it was good food, amazing service and a very good value. read more

Visited this place for the first time tonight. The taps tasted clean. Partner's biggest gripe is when bars don't clean the taps (you can taste a residue) so good job! He raved about the burger while I raved about the elk stew. The first batch of fries were rich in duck fat but fried to a mostly inedible crisp. The second batch were fresh but lacked duck fat flavor. Our suggestion is to cut thicker, fatter fries, that can fry longer in the duck fat without drying out. Great service, great food! Hoping to try dessert next time. read more

My review has gone from a 5 to a 1 since they actually have customers now. There's never enough wait staff and the bartenders have horrible attitudes. We have had to ask numerous times for the sound to be turned on for Ga games and UFC, AND the sound quality is terrible for a sports bar. Shockingly, the bartenders who are in charge of the tvs know nothing about the games or matches they're showing. They don't know when they start or anything about them and when you ask for something to be turned on they get an attitude. I received attitude from the bartenders right down to the waitress. The owner REALLY needs to teach his people how to operate a sports bar in regard to handling the tvs and sound properly. Customers should not have to ask for things to be handled!!! Shockingly, one of the bartenders was obviously inebriated beyond belief. I later watched him get into his truck parked in front and drive off. He could barely find the key to put into the ignition! I was hoping this was going to be my neighborhood bar, but, disappointingly, it's definitely not. read more

It was our first visit and it didn't disappoint! We shared the Brussel sprouts and artichoke dip. Both were quite tasty. (If you're a vegetarian, you may not enjoy the porky deliciousness the sprouts are cooked in. But we did!). The bison burger was cooked to a perfect medium rare, just the way we ordered it, and was delicious! The fries were crispy and hot. Tony, the manager and his entire staff were attentive and made us eager to join them again for another delicious meal. SO many different dishes we're looking forward to trying. Can't wait! read more
