My family stopped in recently, excited to check out the new Blind Pig Brewpub location. We were greeted right away by friendly staff and promptly seated. Our son enjoyed being able to keep up with basketball on the many TVs throughout the space. The menu offered a wide variety of food and drinks, along with a vast selection of beers, with something for everyone. We ordered the Mediterranean salad, the Cali burger with a black bean patty, and a build-your-own pizza. The food came out quickly, everything was exactly as we ordered, and it all tasted great. It was a smooth, enjoyable visit and a positive new chapter for a familiar name.

Seen the Blind Pig Brewpub across the street from our hotel, and so we decided to go there. We were greeted by the bartender, “Chewy”, who did an excellent job serving us. We did not know that the gentleman sitting next to us was Matt, the owner. Matt was super-friendly, and even let us sample beers while explaining the history of the brewpub, and telling us about the new beers that are coming out soon. Mesa did a good job as well describing all of the deserts they had. Everybody was very friendly here, and we were very impressed.. Both the food and beers here were simply outstanding.! We highly recommend coming here for a visit, and will definitely be back!

Finally stopped in for a quick lunch with a friend and BP exceeded my expectations! We decided to split two entrees and both were absolute standouts.
The Mediterranean Garden Salad was vibrantly tasty and generously portioned. They did not skimp on toppings – artichokes, tons of roasted red peppers, cherry tomatoes and a very nice feta. This definitely was a fresh and filling salad and the tomato basil vinaigrette and balsamic reduction kept it feeling light while also adding a punch of flavor.
We also shared the Turkey & Bacon Pepper Jam sandwich which was oh so comforting and delicious on a cold day. The bread was warm, crusty and piled high with a good helping of turkey, smokey gouda and oh man… the bacon pepper jam… can I order a bowl full please? Some spring mix added some crisp and the thyme aioli added a really nice herbaciousness that really made this savory sandwich sing! Plate was also full to bursting with deliciously salt + peppery fries, which, despite trying to abstain, I definitely ate more than I should have.
My friend enjoyed her pint of the seasonal Buddy Christmas porter (Blind Pig brewers are the best). Service was quick and friendly, making this the ideal spot for a quick lunch, but honestly I could totally post up here for a while with all the delicious food and beverages they offer (and I just might).
TLDR: If you’re looking for bold flavors, creative dishes and a great local beer selection, this place is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be back.

I stopped by Blind Pig in Champaign recently. I tried the Reuben sandwich and it was just okay, honestly nothing special, pretty mid. The pizza was a different story though and actually really good.
The service had a hiccup because they brought me the wrong pizza even though the restaurant was almost empty. The server handled it well and offered me a free drink to make up for the mistake, which was a nice gesture.
Overall I would give this place a 5 out of 10. The pizza is worth trying, but the rest of the menu and the experience didn’t really impress me.

Tasty food, quiet environment, great beer. Blindpig’s new in-town dining and drinking establishment after selling the old bar locations delivers a great date night option of casual dinner fare.
My partner is vegan, and we had the pretzel appetizer, and they got the house crust with marinara, vegan cheese, and carmalized onions, all vegan! An excellent choice for Omnivorous and vegan diners alike!

Food was super great! Who would have thought to put figs on a pizza?! I loved it. Everything was delicious and came out in a timely manner. Prices were fair, and service was decent. Would return again! Excellent ranch. ✔️ Side note: music selection was on point!

A nice restaurant to get meals, drinks and food. The food selection is good. They are very tasty. The beer options here are also good. I really like the raspberry wheat. It’s very refreshing. The staff here are very friendly. The atmosphere feels too bland though. Overall, this place is very nice!!!

My wife and I recently visited for lunch, and enjoyed appetizers, a pizza, and some drinks. We really enjoyed the food, and the drink service was diverse, including a good selection of beer and non alcoholic options. We enjoyed the local kombucha! The service was also really good, and all the servers, bar tender and hostess were attentive and friendly.
