Big Grove has become a regular stop for me since they opened, and for good reason. The menu is on the 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. read more

I will start off by saying the outside seating area is a vibe! They have such a big patio space with tv's & games to play. The food was decent. 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. read more

Went for the USA World Cup game so the place was very busy! You can tell they were a bit overwhelmed and struggling to manage to seat people. Outside of that, the drinks were good! I forget what it was called but enjoyed the cherry sour. I also had the poke bowl. It was good but, some of the veg did not taste super fresh. May pick something else next time. A bit pricey but, all the portions are large. read more

This brewery is awesome! It is huge inside and outside. Plenty of seating for big parties, large crowds. We came here for a couple's shower, our friends are getting married. They picked the perfect spot to celebrate. We had a private room, with a buffet to feed us. Our favorite were the chicken wings and salad with the dill dressing. Oh my gosh. I could drink that stuff lol. The beer was really good too!! They have an amazing selection on tap. In addition to the food and drinks are their outdoor fire pits and games! We had a blast and would definitely come back again. read more

I'm not sure how I haven't reviewed this place yet but I feel like I've been 100 times. And every time, I get the pretzel. I love the huge open space and all the outdoor seating. The happy hour specials are great and I have had the Reuben a few times and it's super good. Chopped corned beef. The beers rotate so make sure you go a few times to try different ones. Pretty sure they still don't have liquor so be aware of that. All in all, a super chill vibe and good food and drinks. read more

I love how transparent this menu is for GF, vegan, and vegetarian options. Their patio is also mostly covered which is great on a hot sunny day! TONS of seating and the servers are great. We tried some new items out this time. If you're looking for a mocktail - try the berry basil smash. It's light refreshing, and packed with some fruity flavors. The stir fry noodle dish (I removed the egg) was delicious but VERY salty. Lots of good texture and flavors happening. Tuna poke was delicious and fresh! There is a paid garage and street meters for parking. read more

The service here is amazing, never had a bad experience with the waiters/waitresses, and they always provide great recommendations, including beers from their draft list! We typically start off with the bacon fondue fries, they are astounding, and is a repeat order EVERY single time. The first time we ate here I got the BBQ Chicken Mac & Cheese. This literally was like I was experiencing eating mac & cheese for the first time all over again. I personally love how the cheese sauce is a little more on the liquidly side, but not too much where the noodles don't keep any on them. The barbecue sauce used pairs sooooo well with the cheesy liquidly goodness, and the chicken and green onion tops it all off with the perfect crunch! Past the food, I love the beers here and love a good brewery vibe you get, you can for sure taste how much effort goes into their local drafts. Will always be at the top of my list for date nights or a quick bite and drink. read more

My second visit in one month was so fun. We stopped in on random day during the endless winter break, and had jose as our server. He was delightful. We were showing my SIL Big Grove after my mother in law has developed a recent obsessed with the food and beer. Despite their still limited drink menu, we all found new beers to try and we split the pretzel, reuben boa buns, caprese, and fries among the table. It was a fantastic experience from start to finish. We even got a couple discount merch coupons and used them immediately. Can't wait to return. read more

I always like visiting Big Grove due to the variety of food and great drinks. Their beer brewed in-house is great and I love the rotating variety. They also have a few mocktails on the menu which alcohol can be added to, though are also delicious as is. I ordered a spiced cider mocktail which was a favorite for me and perfect for the fall season. I really love the menu and that there is an item for everyone. Some personal favorites of mine are the noodle bowl and fried chicken mac and cheese. I like that on the noodle bowl you can add different proteins, of which salmon is my preferred addition. I also really enjoyed their tuna poke bowl for a lighter feeling option, though still filling and left me with leftovers. The service has always been great, with super friendly and helpful staff. If you have questions about beer they're happy to help! In the summer I love the huge patio, which has plenty of seating and fire pits if you're looking to hang out. Inside is also large with seating for groups of all sizes. There is also a large party room in the back with a private bar that could be perfect for hosting an event. Big Grove also hosts many of their own events, which I've always had a great time at and love the activities planned. Parking nearby is easy and plentiful, with normal city parking meters (or through the ParkOmaha app). read more

I am new to the area and was looking for breweries with food. There unfortunately are not a lot in Omaha. I found this one and was eager to try with a majority of positive reviews. I visited on a Monday right after they opened. The parking deck is right across the street and only a dollar an hour. I observed a large outdoor patio which looked nice and I'm sure is fun when the weather is warmer. I walked inside and observed a large to go beer cooler and merch area. The inside seating area is pretty big and a huge wrap around bar. There were already several patrons at the bar and tables. I sat myself and was greeted within a few minutes by the sole bartender - Brian. He was very nice, personable and poured beers quickly. He was by himself so not his fault but was stretched thin as the brewery started to get busier and it did not appear the servers poured beers at this establishment. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich. I elected to do regular fries and get the chicken "naked" but Korean BBQ and sesame ginger sauce on the side. It took around 20 minutes for my food to come out. I was disappointed to see the sandwich was coated in what looked like a sauce with sesame seeds. Brian immediately looked frustrated and took it back to the kitchen. I waited another 20 minutes for my second sandwich to come out that had both sauces on the side this time. The chicken was extremely dry and over cooked. It was like chewing a hockey puck and was almost tasteless. I was extremely disappointed. The fries were decent and Brian even offered to get me more fries for my inconvenience but I declined. The beer was pretty good. My favorite was the SHWA (super crisp, easy to drink and delicious). I would come back again to drink it but would second guess buying food again. read more

I've had a great time at Big Grove each time I've visited - most recently we enjoyed a beer and some chips and queso and played some games at our table for a random night out. Service is always great - sharing their opinion on the beers if you need it - and the sticky toffee pudding dessert has gotten me into the restraint on its own. HOWEVER I have to point out how ridiculous it is to have metered/garage parking for seemingly one restaurant. Bill got a little higher when I got an extra parking ticket for staying 20 minutes past what I paid the meter for (and at 9:30pm no less) frankly a deterrent for me coming back more often which is a significant bummer because I quite enjoyed my time at the restaurant. read more

I've visited Big Grove twice in less than a month, which already says a lot because I usually try to go to different places! Most of the pictures in this review are from my first visit, when I was super impressed with the food, the service, the space... honestly everything. I had been wanting to try it since they opened, so we finally picked it for a date night. From the moment we walked in, every member of the staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. We were told we couldn't go wrong with any of the food items, and they were right. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich, and my boyfriend got the burger. We also had the cauliflower wings as an appetizer. Every single bite was amazing! I even took some leftovers home and enjoyed them just as much the next day. Their menu is wide and has the classic brewery favorites, but they also offer some really interesting options like noodle bowls, a poke bowl, salads, soups, and more. There's definitely something for everyone. I was a little surprised that their beer list wasn't as long as I expected, but they're still pretty new, so I'm sure they'll add more soon. The space is huge and great for big groups. Our second visit was with a large party, and the experience was just as great as the first one. If you haven't checked them out yet, you definitely should. I'm already excited to go back again! read more

We've been here a few times and overall, I really like it. My biggest disappointments have been from the lack of communication from their other locations to the Omaha one. I've shown them emails of promotions going on at "all of their tap rooms" and been greeted with very confused reactions. Also, I know they are still navigating some liquor law issues, but it's a bummer when you see a beer that is allegedly at all of their locations to find out it's all of them but Omaha. I think the stir fry bowl is probably my favorite thing I've ordered here. But I also really enjoyed the focaccia and olive oil. read more

Huge space! Great beers and food. Our waiter was fun and cheeky, made for a fun night! Good to know- all parking is paid parking. Probably out of their hands but seemed silly to pay for what seems like a private lot. read more

Our waiter was awesome! Very attentive and very personable. He was knowledgeable and interactive! The space is great its large enough for big parties- has an indoor area and also a large outdoor patio with fire pits. Definitely a great spot to get with a group of friends. The food was good. Nothing really made me "wowd" but it was good! The short rib tacos were a little on the cold side when they came out. The beer and drinks were excellent. read more

I've been her quite a few times lately, as my office meets for regular happy hours here. Although we never make it early enough for happy hour specials, we enjoy the regularly changing taps. The menu has had small changes over the past year. I still miss the fried Brussel sprouts, but still enjoy the cauliflower wings, chips and queso, and giant pretzel. Dogs are allowed on the patio and I love that they brought a "pup cup" and made my dog's day! Service has been great, with friendly and attentive staff. I will continue to come in regularly!! read more

Finally went to big grove with some friends and had a nice experience, first I should mention that the restaurant itself is very big, and has a very cool covered outdoor patio with firepits and lots of seats, I would say it is very family friendly. The indoor portion is huge, and has an area to buy beer and big grove merchandise. The menu isn't very big, but i think there is likely something for everyone, vegetarian, fish, and meat options are available. We sat at the bar, the service was good, and there is also a lot of beer and drink options, I recommend the margarita and the Mexican beer. The chicken sandwich was good, very juicy and you can order it dipped or regular with sauce on the side. The side salad and fries were both good, I probably liked the salad a bit more, it was really refreshing with fresh dill, cucumbers and chick peas. The food is kind of expensive, but the portions are big, and pretty much everything is expensive these days, so i can't ding them too much on that. read more

Absolutely love this place! Super tasty beers and amazing staff! The food is also really great!

This is going to be one of our frequently visited places, I can already tell. I've had a great experience every time we've been here and have recommended plenty of people to come out here! We've only stopped after events to grab a drink, but we'll soon be making sure to visit for a meal as well. We enjoyed being able to sit out by the fire, have a drink and just hang out. We plan on being back soon and are looking forward to doing so in the winter times coming too! read more

Definitely a cool spot. It's HUGE. I grabbed a Saturday lunch here with a friend because we really wanted to try this place. It seems like a good vibe for really any event. Game days, casual lunches... We shared the pretzel and beer cheese appetizer which was good, just a little too crispy. I tried their house fruit seltzer (wild berry) and it was amazing. It was the perfect level of sweet and there wasn't the carbonation taste that usually comes with seltzers. They had some other drink options that sounded cool too. I got their Stir Fry which was also amazing! Service was great and very friendly! read more

I wanted to wait to review Big Grove until I had a few more visits behind me, but I gotta speak up. I was saddened that the state screwed around with them that brought on a big delay in opening, but they finally did it! The place is big. It's beautiful. There are so many different places to sit. I hope they are open to guests picking their seats, inside/outside, kind of outside, deep inside. Some with fire pits, others with flames above your head (when winter sets in, I assume). We just walked in and bellied up to the bar. A few Big Grove beer selections have already been making the rounds at Omaha bars, so we were a little familiar and happy with their brand. The restaurant has far more choices and they seem reasonably priced. I wish they offered all of them with smaller pours so we can sample the others we were unfamiliar with. The menu is pretty good too but I must say the prices seem a bit high. I know these are difficult times but... We shared the Rueben sandwich with fries. At $17.25, we thought this better be good. It wasn't good, it was FANTASTIC. The sandwich will challenge other leading contenders in Omaha, which is home to the Reuben. This had real corned brisket, not the fake processed stuff. The right amount of sauerkraut, dressing, and cheese. All combined and stuffed between two slices of delicious warm toasted bread. I did not want that sandwich to end. The fries were fresh and hot, though lacked quantity. I'm looking forward to returning and trying the Reuben Bao Buns which sound intriguing. read more

I went to Big Grove's soft opening and, after months of buildup and excitement, I was thrilled with my experience! The place quickly filled up after we got in, so I was happy we came early. There were so many seats inside and outside, with most of the outdoor seating being covered. There's indoor booths, tables, and seating at the bar, which is nice for people who want options. This is definitely the kind of place I would bring a group to hang out or grab a meal. There was a limited beer menu for the soft opening, so I ordered their light lager and really enjoyed it! I ordered their tuna poke bowl since you don't see that much around here. The fish, mango, and everything in the bowl tasted fresh and delicious. Probably the best poke bowl around town! I'll definitely be back! read more

We're so happy this place is finally open! We walked down and were seated quickly. I didn't realize how big this place was going to be. There's SO much room, inside and out. We sat outside on a large picnic table to watch the football game. There was also seating your fire and a couple of outdoor games, including cornhole. For how busy they were, service was still pretty quick. At this point, they still only serving the alcohol. They brew on property but everything we have a good table was great. I got the flavored alcoholic seltzer. It seems like they just add the flavor to the seltzer so that is nice to know that you could probably customize how much flavoring/sugar you want. For food, we started with the soft pretzel, which was very buttery and soft. The beer cheese that came with it was flavorful. I got wings, which were huge and sauced really well. The ranch to dip in was the good, runny kind-- the sign of a good bar. My husband got the chicken sandwich and it was huge. It was cooked well- nice and crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. You can also get a number of their beers to go including their climbing kites THC/CBD drinks. We can't wait to return to try more things! read more

Six of us came here recently for a department lunch during a weekday. The place is very spacious and has lots of seating. There's even a cute little gift shop as you walk in selling Big Grove merch. Lots of parking either in metered stalls or large parking garage. I've been anxious to try this fairly new place just off Saddle Creek near the Med Center in the Catalyst building. Everything looked and sounded so great but I opted for the Grove Salad (mixed greens, apples, pickled red onions, pecans, smoked blue cheese, champagne vinaigrette) with grilled chicken and was very pleased with my selection. My co-worker's meals looked and smelled great as well. Our server was very attentive, checking in on our table regularly and refilling drinks. Everyone left happy. I would love to come back for my birthday when it's warmer and the large outdoor patio is open. I've heard it's also dog friendly. Hoping to try one of their refreshing mocktails next time and the stir fry noodle with shrimp. I think my spouse would enjoy it, too! read more

The service was super fast and friendly! Our server was helpful when helping us decide what meal or drinks we wanted. The Brewers Board was filling and comforting. The pretzel was buttery and salty- very rich. They had a great cheese dipping sauce and fun sides. My seltzers were flavorful and bubbly. They're pretty decent sizes for the price. I loved how many flavors of seltzers they had. It was a little disappointing to see how few beers they had on tap- but we know it's not their fault. I know they're a great brewery stuck in certain city rules. But the beers we did have were really good and fresh. My Grove salad was packed full of toppings and dressing- just the way I love my salads. The fried chicken mac and cheese was crispy and rich. I loved the large amount of seating and cool outdoor patio they had with fireplaces. They have good high top tables and a bar, but regular seating is picnic style tables which can be challenging for some. The patio was beautiful and had plenty of lights and seating. They have a great shop area when you enter the brewery. Their shirts and items are much more elevated than typical shops. They have a unique style that makes you actually want to wear their brand or use their cups. It seems silly, but I will say their parking lot was extremely confusing. You do have to pay for metered parking on the 'street' or the paid garage next door. It did seem to discourage me from staying or staying a while, knowing I have to pay to be there, plus my bill inside. Part of being at a brewery and having a good time may mean leaving my car overnight, but knowing there's meters makes me want to cut my night short and try somewhere else. read more

Stopped in after an event at the Catalyst building and so glad we did. What a unique place. A warehouse vibe with tons of seating. Whether you are with a big group or small there's a place for you. I also found out they have a private room you can rent that seats 100! It can also be split if needed. In the summer they look like what is an amazing patio! Without a full liquor license (yet) they got creative with some alcoholic seltzer drinks that mimic classic cocktails. They are as tasty as they are original. I had the Naughty Pepper ( lime juice, mango puree, jalapeño syrup and seltzer base, tajin rim) and it was one of the tastiest cocktails I have ever had! In fact writing this makes me want another! I believe the alcohol content from the seltzer is about 5%. My point is they taste great and you won't miss the hard alcohol. My husband had a crisp very cold beer on tap Shwa and loved it. Their menu looks phenomenal ( and rotates quarterly) and I will be back to try but last night shared an enormous chocolate chip cookie! It would have been perfection if it was warmed but still delicious! I mean it was salad plate sized! The staff are all friendly and really invite you in. They told me a lot about fun events they are planning and have already done ( plant bingo for example). It sounds like Big Grove is making an effort to envelop the community and I love that. Another big draw if I have not hooked you already is the parking. It's plentiful which is a shock in itself. Please give them some love in these cold winter months. You will leave happy! read more

Fun vibes all around! There were plenty of parking when we came, not too busy of an area. The have fireplaces outside, which was perfect for fall nights. We've been here twice and have left satisfied each time. The garlic parm wings were a little bit too saucy imo though. Our server was nice and quick and even offered to make a new drink for me if I didn't like the drink she recommended. I got the stir fry noodle bowl - favorite on the menu so far!!

Great food in a really cool space. Loved how large and open the restaurant/bar is. I want to go back when it warm to be out on the patio or when they have all of the garage doors open for that indoor outdoor feel. Service was fast, drinks came out quick as well as the food. We got a couple of apps and they were all delicious! Chips and queso, the chips were light and crispy with warm white queso. The Ruben boa buns had fluffy buns and were full of meet, sauerkraut and dressing. We also go the Caprese which was really good and came with a large portion of focaccia. Highly recommend checking this place out! read more

Went here for an event in their private room. They had a holiday mocktail that you can add a seltzer too and it tasted delicious. They obviously take pride in what they serve because seltzers can have an aftertaste but this drink did not. I also appreciated the fresh cranberry and rosemary garnishes. They set up a buffet with some offering I liked their queso dip and their bao Ruben was crazy good. I liked their pretzels but they were very salty if they had a little less salt I would have had no complaints. I will definitely come back to try more of their menu! read more

Lots of food was had at Big Grove. Some of the best service that I have had in Omaha. Server was kind and patient with our ordering. Burger though was pretty overcooked with little juice in the condiments. Sweet potato fries were similar. Mac snd cheese looked great.

I first came here for Yelp's dinner party and had wanted to return for normal service. We came once after a UNO hockey game and even though it was almost an hour until closing, the bartender seemed annoyed we were there, was short with us, and there was a general lack of helpfulness. We'd sent several people here after the dinner party, and I didn't want to have that be the only other experience we had here. We returned for a Husker game and it was a way better experience! It was Wicked weekend so they had fun specials, we tried the Shiz sangria and it was the perfect fall drink. We also had the chips and queso and brewer's board. The board was everything I wanted it to be! I loved the caraway seed in the kraut, the flavor was fantastic! The sausage was rich and the pretzel perfectly crispy. The chips and queso were good and we got another basket of chips on the house since there weren't enough to last the whole bow of queso. The second time we returned was Thanksgiving weekend. Our friend from Chicago was in town and we knew this would be a great place to check out. I got the fried chicken Mac and cheese, which was even great the next day as leftovers. We tried a variety of beers, all good, and my friend tried to THC drink and enjoyed it. Looking forward to coming back and sitting on the patio with a warm fire and cold beer. read more

Liked this brewery in omaha had good bears and I liked the food I got. The Reuben sandwich was very tasty and had great flavor well balanced. The dressing and the meat worked well together. The beer I got was a hazy Ipa I thought it had a good balance of sweet and salty flavors. I like the concept of a cocktail bar outside of the regular brewery if someone didnt want beer. It is definitely fun and family friendly with a lot of kids and play areas. Its pretty spacious. But nothing to distinguish it from anything else lots lf tvs. Service unfortunately was a let down we didn't have much contact with our server and for a big group they require on person cover the check. read more

Great new place, clean, roomy and comfortable. Lots of different seating options. I loved the Pineapple Ginger Fizz!!! And the giant pretzel served with German mustard and a cheese sauce (not that canned crap) was superb! I had a salad with salmon added - it's a large salad - the salmon was prepared perfectly, a little crisp on the top, I like that. I tasted the cinnamon brown sugar cheesecake- it was delicious and big! I suggest you share it :) I ordered the Pavlova - the lemon curd and berries were good but the meringue was hard - I would have the cheesecake next time. Our waitress was fabulous! Thank You C! read more

Amazing place! Huge area for the bar, outdoors and for dining. In addition, it has a special place for private parties and reunions. The merch is good too! Service was super friendly. The food was good. So far we have tried the bao buns, beet salad, stir fry noodles, mushroom pasta and two burgers. Quality is decent and satisfies the crave. Is it top notch? No. But for the ambience, service, drinks and overall vibe, it makes everything worth it. read more

This is an incredible destination if you're looking for a laid back environment that's still buttoned up with great food, service, and vibes. They have tons of seating including a big patio with fire pits, tvs, and a few yard games. The menu is classic with some modern twists like the Reuben bao buns which were fantastic. They've faced some unfortunate opposition from the city with the liquor license so I hope they're able to get around that to round out the drink selection. Everything else was so great that I still think it's a 5 star spot. read more
