Chattanooga Restaurants: Big River Grille and Brewing Works

Big River Grille and Brewing Works has been a favorite of Chattanooga locals for over 20 years. As soon as you step inside, the reason is apparent. The restaurant offers a variety of delicious menu items, as well as fresh-brewed beers and entertainment options. The original downtown restaurant became so popular that a second location opened in Hamilton Place, and a third in Florida's Disney world.

If you're a local looking for a unique spin on classic American food or a visitor after a break from touring Chattanooga homes for sale, Big River Grille and Brewing Works has just what you need.

Big River Grille and Brewing Works: A 20-year Chattanooga Favorite

Big River's Fresh Seasonal Menu

Big River's menu is never dull; they focus on fresh ingredients and seasonal variety.  You'll also find fresh seafood, chicken, pasta many with a Southwestern or Cajun flair.

Big River's menu includes more casual options including freshly made pizza, lobster, and shrimp tacos, or a giant burger with Maker's Mark® bourbon glaze. 

Tank to Table Beers

Brewed on-premises by a local brewer, the craft beer selection is a huge part of the Big River experience. Six homebrews are on tap at all times including Lagers, Pilsner, IPA, Brown Ale, and Stout.  

Two to four times a year they also offer seasonal and small-batch brews. Occasionally, Big River celebrates the release with a fun and festive tapping party. 

Two Unique Chattanooga Locations

The original Big River restaurant is located at 22 Broad Street in Chattanooga along the Tennessee River, steps away from Ross's Landing. Housed in a historical trolley barn, you'll find an outdoor patio, working brewery, bar, billiards area, and private dining space. While you're there, think about venturing out to the nearby IMAX theater, Tennessee Aquarium, or Children's Creative Discovery Museum.

The Hamilton Place location is the most recent addition to the Big River family. It's conveniently situated next to Hamilton Place mall and is easily accessible from I-75. Here you'll enjoy the same quality food and brews patrons have come to expect from the original Big River Grille location.

Something for Everyone

One of the best things about Big River is that there is something for everyone.  It's the perfect location for a romantic dinner with someone special or to spend a few hours shooting pool with the locals at the bar.

The location is is well-lit without being too bright, and the upbeat rock-n-roll music helps create a fun atmosphere that's appealing to guests of all ages. Popular among both locals and tourists, you can expect to see a solid mix of both on any given night.

You can't go wrong with Big River Grill and Brewing Works. Make plans soon to come on down and experience it for yourself.
