Entertainment has been excellent on every visit regardless of who is playing. Staff is friendly and helpful with recommendations on brews and drinks. Ownership is always present and willing to chat about brewing and beers. 10 out of 10 would recommend!”

“Hands down the BEST BBQ we have found in this area. Great flavor, not too smokey, but just the right kiss of flavor. The sides are also top notch, from homemade greens, mac & chz, yams, jalapeno coleslaw & even an awesome brisket chili. You can't go wrong with Big Brews!! They have something you are sure to love.Portions are plentiful & the taste is on point!”

“I typically go for the sandwiches and a side of potato/pasta salad and a beverage. It's always been great. The sandwiches are fantastic. The meatball and BBQ Beef are two I'd recommend but I really don't think you can go wrong here. My friend and I have been coming up here for a couple years now and we love it. It's about a 40 minute round trip for me but it's worth it. Great food, quality food, fairly priced. I definitely recommend if you're in the mood for a sub-sandwich.”

“Was in town visiting before a baseball game. Arrived early so needed somewhere to go. Glad I picked here. I learned from the bartender that Ziggy's has been there since the 80s. It seems to have a great following. The location itself was unique in that it is in the "downtown" area of Amherst. It has tons of tables (maybe too close to each other), and an upstairs for overflow when busy. They also have a party room area upstairs that can be booked for events. A wall of TVs greets you upon arrival. Can't imagine how fun it would be for football season. Drinks were reasonably priced, as well as the food. Nothing seemed out of place price wise. Very comparable to other similar type locations. I didn't eat, but I asked a couple of people what they thought of the food. A couple mentioned that this is their place to go to since everything is great. I saw a couple of pizzas walk out of the kitchen and they looked great. There was something on the menu for just about anyone. Try it out!”

I don't love their whole smoked wings, and the kids Mac and cheese portion sizes are not appropriate, too small. The service is nice, and it's walkable from other things in the uptown area.”

“This is such an incredible little place! Very family friendly and super fun space to be in. The workers were incredible, and super patient with my indecisive kiddos! She was also very kind about one of child's nut allergies, and went out of her way to clean the scoop in the back and was helping recommend ice creams with no cross contamination! Also, so happy with the price. I got ice cream for five for under 20 dollars, that's so unheard of! And it was quality ice cream too, so totally worth it. If your in the area, definitely consider a visit.”

“This ice-cream is one that I'll always scream for! It tastes delicious, it's near the schools so parents and kids can grab some ice cream, and it's right across from Hot Dog Heaven, just in case it's closed, which it usually is during the winter. (Hot Dog Heaven serves ice-cream, don't worry)Parking: The parking is small, I'll be the first to admit that, but it's usually not that full unless it's a busy day, which it usually isn't.”

“The music is SO LOUD that you can't hear conversation nor what the cashier is saying. When the manager was told that the music is too loud, the response was, "Yeah, I know." Food is GREAT. We come here every Saturday because we love the food, it's our treat to ourselves. That's why we gave the reviews we gave. Wish that someone at corporate would pay a visit. It's like we're entering a club. We understand that the staff are young and don't get it n may love the music but YOUR customers are not of the same genre. We like to sit, relax, and talk/listen to each other. Can't do it in this atmosphere so we've been opting to sit in our car. Would love to sit in the restaurant.”

“Horrible establishment, horrible customer service, I ordered an online order when I went to pick up at the establishment. My order was wrong when I told the cashier if they could just add pepperoni to my pizza the cashier refused and said it was company policy if I wanted to get pepperoni in my pizza. I had to go ahead and re-order online and repay again. None of this made any sense to me so tomorrow morning I will make sure to call the management to get to the bottom of this because that is horrible customer service, and at this point I am going to tell anybody I know never to go there ever”
