Restaurant Review: Big River Grille & Brewery Works in Lake Buena Vista, Florida

Jack Oceano
In Lake Buena Vista, Florida, a restaurant called Big River Grille & Brewing Works really delivers for both lunch and dinner. Located on the Disney Boardwalk, Big River Grille boasts terrific food and fast, friendly service at a reasonable price. Here is a restaurant review of Big River Grille & Brewing Works in Lake Buena Vista, Florida.

Big River Grille & Brewing Works boasts a menu that includes outstanding burgers and sandwiches, as well as heartier meals such as chicken marinara, rocket red ribs, and top sirloin. The Brewer's Selections include hazelnut crusted chicken, Atlantic salmon, and a mouth-watering New York Strip steak. I highly recommend the chicken alfredo and the blackened Mahi Mahi sandwich.

Prices are reasonable, with lunch entrees starting around nine bucks. Soups and salads and sensational starters are available, as well as a wide variety of drinks. In fact, their bold, fresh handcrafted lagers and ales are worth the trip to Big River Grille & Brewing Works in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, alone.

At the bar, you can taste-test the brewery's own beers, including the Southern Flyer Light Lager, the Gadzooks Pilsner, the Steamboat Pale Ale, the Rocket Red Ale, the Sweet Magnolia Brown Ale, and the Wowzer's Wheat, the last two of which are seasonal. Once you have decided which you like best, go ahead and order yourself a pint.

When you are ready to dine, you can dine inside or out. Either way, you will enjoy a wonderful setting. Of course, you can also choose to get your lunch or dinner to go, but then you won't be able to enjoy their fine beers with your meal.

And you will also want to sample their desserts, which include a traditional New York Cheesecake, and my favorite, a delicious concoction called Chocolate Confusion, which is chocolate mousse layered between Oreo brownie cake and chocolate icing with chocolate chips.

If you are in the mood for outstanding American fare, and a few beers to wash it down with, you can't miss at Big River Grille & Brewing Works in Lake Buena Vista. The Disney Boardwalk will help round out your evening. You can walk off your meal in a picturesque setting, or dance the night away at the dance club nearby. Everything is located just near Epcot Center at 2101 North Epcot Resort Boulevard. Visit their website for more information. And be sure to enjoy!

    Very poorly written review. Oh and everything tastes wonderful? What a shame...

    This is for the Big River Restaurant at Disney Boardwalk. I asked the hostess outside how long it would be for a table outside. I noticed about 10 empty tables outside. She told me about 75 minutes. I asked why the tables were empty and she informed me rather rudely that she had to seat large parties of people. I waited about 20 minutes and returned, the tables were still open. I asked her if she had seated the large parties yet, and she replied she didn't have time. She was just standing there. I asked her how long for a table now and she told me 55 min. I walked to the side, a man walked up and asked if he could have a table outside, he handed her a few bills, and she seated him right away. Is this how Disney operates? Next time I'll try Universal!

    Went there on Januaury 29, 2008. The server cpoied my debit card and tried to rip me off for a 400.00 I Pod and 300.00 worth of shoes. The good news is my bank caught it and the genius won't get any of his goodies. Isn't it great you work hard all year to take your family to Disney and get ripped off by some one who is too stupid to realize the electronic trail leads right back to him? His parents must be so proud! Thanks Big River for ripping me off!!!!

    Breweries can be great fun. There is one in Nags Head that we go to just to try the different beers. The food is so/so, but the beer is good.
