Big Grove Brewery & Taproom

The first time we were here, right after it opened, the food was top notch. Tonight is was just okay. Everything needed salt to start with. We got salt and it helped, a little. Two of the dishes had pork shoulder and it was very bland. The burger could have used some seasoning as well. The mac and cheese barely had flavor, didn't even taste much like cheese.

The server was on top of it. It wasn't too busy, but he was great. I also like how the servers all help each other.

We don't feel like we need to run back here real soon after the meal we had tonight. Everything looked great, but was just meh in flavor. Except for the Mediterranean salad, that didn't disappoint.
The atmosphere is great, a really fun place. Hopefully the cook who doesn't know what salt is learns about it real soon.

Great vibes, great beer and a great new place in CR! Big inviting space, indoor and out. The food menu is big with tons of awesome options, they brew their beer there. The bar is huge as well. We didn’t want to leave!!

Had a great lunch here with my family. Food was pretty good, customer service was awesome and the facility is pretty cool. There is lots to see and do here.

I will say that the fries are pretty dam good.

Had their special Korean steamed buns. I apologize I forgot to take a picture of how they came out. My wife got a burger. The steamed buns were awesome wish they had this one on the menu full time. I have been looking for a place locally to get these as it brings me back to when I got them in Guam and Japan. The wife said her burger was amazing. I did steal a French fry or 2 and those were amazing. Crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. It was kinda on the pricey side but the food quality matches the pricing.

Latest entry to the ever expanding Big Grove empire. Incredible new building and location downtown Cedar Rapids. Incredible beers on tap and good food to eat along with the beverages. Indoor seating, bar seating, event space and outdoor patio. 5 years in the making. Well worth the wait. Kudos BGB!
