The Big E never disappoints! Every year I get excited to see what new food they have, and this year…read morewas no different. Unfortunately, our eyes were bigger than our stomachs. We got full way too quickly and didn't get to try everything we wanted! This year we decided to go on a Friday after work, and honestly, best decision! It wasn't overly crowded, and we were able to park super close, which is always a win. Let's be real, it's a fair, so there are plenty of opportunities to spend money lol. But it's also a great place to make memories, walk around, check out the different vendors, and just enjoy yourself. Always a good time at The Big E!

An absolutely beautiful venue. All of the wine and sangria I have tried from this winery has been…read moreabsolutely delicious. The cranberry apple may have been my favorite. Staff here has always been nice. When they host craft fairs it's pretty cool too, lots of different vendors often. ******** BE MINDFUL WHEN PLANNING A WEDDING HERE. My brother was married here back in Sept 2025. It was beautiful, gorgeous scenery, the food was delicious. However, it is still open to the public apparently when a wedding is held. The worst part (which I think is absolutely insane) is that there was a FOOD TRUCK parked right next to what is supposed to be the aisle for the wedding procession. The staff at Hardwick told us that under no circumstance was the truck moving as they were going to stay open to public. I know for a fact that upset my brother's bride to be and would probably upset other brides or wedding goers as well. So please keep that in mind!

Food was very good for the items from the kitchen…read more Selection of crackers and cheeses. Large selection of wines to try. Service- very good , even helping you to a table if you get there earlier enough before the crowd comes. Ambiance - It's a country setting . Places to sit inside when the band is playing, and grounds to sit outside and enjoy the fresh air and also listening to the music.

Came here to celebrate my first Mother's Day, the food was pretty good for a buffet style meal…read more They had a good assortment to choose from. Unless you're vegetarian, then you can basically skip all the brunch foods. (See menu attached). Service was a little spotty...I'm not quite sure some of the staff there have worked when it's been a full house. Some seemed like they were fine, but the younger, high school aged workers, did not. Peeked at the bar area and they seemed to have a good selection of whiskey (which I like), few other spirits and I believe 6 or so beers on tap. I'll definitely come back to try when I don't have my little one attached to my hip.

I was here recently for a wedding. It was a very nice wedding. The place is a bit dated and could…read moreuse some updates. The food was your average banquet food. The French onion soup was good. I had the surf and turf and I really did enjoy my prime rib...it was cooked just the way I like it. The stuffed shrimp were okay, but the serving sizes were very generous. It was my best friends daughters wedding and she said they were very accommodating and easy to work with. They did an excellent job caring out the vision they had. The service was fantastic. The wait staff and bartenders were generous and attentive. I didn't give this place more stars because of the dated look and the food was good but average.

How do you not know that you pre-sold most of your tickets and move the lines better??? messed up... Once you get in they had 5 tickets for you to use to get samples so you would then buy more for a dollar..ok thats fine, but when the line for each place is 10-12 minute wait and you there is NO SIGN for each one expect the one at the table (blocked by the lines) and the vendors dont even fill the 4oz cup, im sorry but its not worth my time or money. not at all excited about going back for this event. Good luck next year!

You pay, get a wristband without leaving your car, which was nice. After you park you walk up a big set of stairs and pass by the concession building and the hill is right there. You can't miss it! It looks so much bigger and steeper than what you see on videos from YouTube. You can sit anywhere you want. Bring chairs, food, drinks, etc. You cannot bring alcohol. I'd bring a hat, sunscreen, and hearing protection too. It gets real loud, but nothing most people seemed to mind. People at entrance booth and merch table were real nice. The only thing that pissed me off was people smoking weed and cigarettes. It's supposed to be family friendly. My 7 yr. Old shouldn't have to breath in your secondhand smoke to enjoy an event. I get that it's outside, but all you smell is smoke. There is a beer tent area, and they kept repeating no alcohol on the field sitting area, but most didn't listen. I'd go back to see the bikes try and climb the hill. I tried twice to go to the concession building, but the line was 15-20 deep, and I was not about to wait in that. So I'd just bring more snacks and drinks next time. Leaving was just as easy as getting in. It would of been cool if they had a screen showing who was racing, current standings, and who was next.
