7/7/09 Arrived around 8:15pm. Service was slow and unattentive. Ate the Mahi Mahi and felt I got hooked! Very small portion for such a high price ($18.50) and over cooked. Server was more interested in cleaning the tables and floors around us than serving us. Didn't fill Tea glass until we were ready to pay bill and then gave me sweet instead ...

The tuna sandwich is great. Grilled and tasty. Real southern sweet tea. The wait staff attentive and friendly.

Friday night's dinner marked probably our 10th dinner here. Yes, could say that we are regulars. Why do we like it? It's big, it's loud, it's busy and crowded. But that givers the place a lot of energy. Yet, we always seem to get a booth, and one that's quiet enough to chat. My wife and I usually are alone nowadays but in ...

I just found out about the passing of my dear old friend Chuck Kaylor, who was a longtime employee at Big River Grill. Tears are running down my cheeks as I write this. He was the sweetest guy in the world and he will be missed by many. Much love, Jim Oakes.
P.S. Move over Whitney--it's Diana! (Chuck knows what I mean!)

Excellent food and beer. We started off w/ Buffalo wings and a dip both of which were very good. I had a steak while my companions had the steak and shrimp and no one left anything on their plate. We didn't even consider dessert but saw the chocolate cake / ice cream on the table next to us and agreed that for our next visit, we'll save room for dessert. I sampled 3 beers while eating my dinner all of which were very good.

With two locations in the Chattanooga area Big River offers two completely different settings. Their downtown location is split into two sides. The left side is a nice sit down restraunt, including a small cafe'-like area outside. The right side is a bar/lounge area complete with some of the city's best pool tables and a brick oven where ...
