Great beer, food and service! Hannah was our waitress and she brought the energy. The chicken sandwich was amazing. Great first experience at the Cedar Rapids Big Grove!

Thanks bartender James for my delicious coffee with “cream” and bartender Brian for my Old 17 beer sample. You guys rock! Rueben buns were delicious!

I have only been here once. I was not crazy about my cocktail that I ordered and the food I ordered was burnt. Our server was very nice and made it right, but the food was still just meh.I am willing to come back here and try again though, so will have to update my review after another visit.The atmosphere here is very nice, but if you are looking for a social setting/bar type place, know this is more of a restaurant.

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.Kid-friendliness: Have bags boards and an 3-item kid menu.

I’ll have to return when I’m not facing a 12 hour road trip! James and Brian pour great drinks! Service and food are top notch. The Rueben buns…. Delicious. Whiskey cream for my coffee Along with a sample of Old 17 beer were a perfect way to say adieu to my good friend before his flight out of Cedar Rapids. Dog friendly patio with fire pit. I’ll be back!

All that money spent on the building and the menu and food are both awful. Great service, great atmosphere, disgusting overpriced food. Not to mention it cost $130 for 3 people. Joke of a poke bowl, a philly that was rubber, old pork runny Mac n cheese. 3 out of 3 people hated it. Probably never go back there.

Stopped by and was seated by the hostess. Servers were walking by but not taking any orders. Eventually left
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 poke bowl and the pork burrito bowl. The pork bowl was bland, spicy, and made me sick. The poke bowl was great! Awesome beer and location!!
