The atmosphere at Big Grove Brewery is pleasant with a lively vibe, though it can get a bit loud due to the hard surfaces. The giant pretzel bread was excellent with tasty cheese and mustard, though it needed more salt. The burger was decent but could use more toppings, and the fries were good for frozen. The ranch dressing was surprisingly good. The sausage pizza was solid, and adding extra cheese made it better. Service was the weakest part it took a long time to be greeted, and our server seemed distracted and struggled to keep up with refills. Prices felt a little high for what you get, but there’s a nice variety of local craft beers.

Out looking for a bag of Ice and some local Fermented Beverages and noticed a Brewery nearby that was Open, on Sunday no less!!
Once I confirmed the grocery was Open till 9, we stopped in for an Impulse Visit
This was the Best decision I made this Week! I may have some new Favorites
Clean & Cozy feel with a nice dining area and outdoor patio.
Staff was Great, Lots of Moxie
Thanks fo helping, and not giving me funny looks for taking pictures of everything.
Favorite Tap: Color TV
( For Now!! )
My only concern was not seeing Chicken Strips on the menu. There were so many Better, High Quality options, it was Not a problem…

Came in for lunch on a Tuesday so it was not busy. Ordered the fried chicken sandwich and a side of Mac and cheese. There was so much food. The sandwich was huge. The food tasted amazing. I ate over half of it and ate the rest for supper. Will definitely be back. Was very happy with everything!

I was super excited to try Big Grove because I love the one in iowa city. I should have taken the servers suggestion. I ordered the Indian pork pita and was extremely disappointed. First, I wasn’t expecting the pita bread to be grilled. I was not expecting a flat bread when this meal was listed under sandwiches. You cannot fold this and eat it. 2nd, there was maybe about 1/3 to 1/4th cup of actual meat. I took out the mint because I’m not a mint lover. I kept the spicy shatta on the side, but did enjoy the flavor of that. It was mainly grilled pita bread, and leafy greens. I scraped off all the pork and just ate some of the grilled pita bread. I did like the seasoned fries. NOT worth the $17 they charged. My daughter got the kids grilled cheese, which wasn’t bad. The bread was thick. We got the wings, which were huge and I really liked those. They made a raspberry iced tea, which was sweet tea with raspberry flavoring. I’ve had better. On top of all this, the meal took about 40 min to get to our table. I might go back to try something else. I’m grateful the server took the Indian pita meal off the bill, so that was a nice surprise, and wasn’t expecting that. The service was super, I think her name was Ali? Went on a Sunday night at 6 and was able to sit outside right away.
***UPDATE***
First, after posting my prior review, I spoke with management as we had left an item at the restaurant and called to check to see if they still had it, which they did. They also gave us a gift card to come back and try them out again. We went last night. I got the fried chicken sandwich (lightly breaded) and added cheese. We also got the cheese burger (added an egg), and 2 kids meals. The chicken sandwich was really good! I’m glad I did light breading as that was perfect and I feel any more breading would have been too much. My partner really enjoyed his cheese burger. The kids mac and cheese is house made, creamy, and good. The kids chicken fingers are out just a smidge cooked too long, but was still good, a good size portion, and filling! Plus, the kiddos each received a complimentary chocolate chip cookie, which was really really good! We had the same server Alli, and she once again was great! I’m really happy we gave them another try, and will definitely be back!

There were 5 of us here on a Friday night. No reservations and wait time was about 40min. Not terrible but there wasn’t a good place to stand around when the bar was full and you were standing next to tables where people were eating (not ideal for them or us). Service was good but the food was nothing to write home about and was overpriced. The tator tot casserole was one of their specials and it was very greasy and bland. The tuna poke bowl had too many strange flavors going on and did not meld together well. Other dishes that were ordered included the pastrami sandwich, stir fry noodle bowl and the brewpub burger which were all okay. This was just typical bar food so I doubt we will venture out to this establishment again.

Great Solon staple brewpub. Atmosphere is nice. It was a Friday night and it was packed. I’ve been a few times and had their pizza this round. It was good. A friend had their pasta that used locally made pasta. Looked yummy.

We went to dinner early around 5:15pm on a Saturday with two kids under 3 and 6 adults. They only had a high top available but the high tops are screwed to the floor so our group couldn’t intermingle. There were multiple booths available and I found it odd that people could reserve those.
The front door is in the wrong spot.
It’s directly in line with the high tops and the bar which makes it so crowded and distracting.
I’d suggest moving the main entrance to the back of the restaurant and creating an actual place for people to wait.
The service was subpar although our waitress was good, she had a lot of tables and our food took a long time.
All in all it was a decent experience and I’m not sure if we will be back.

We had a great time here watching the Iowa football game. Our waitress was very thoughtful and made us feel at home. It’s that Iowa NICE! I would suggest this little drive out of Iowa City, for great food and service.

Big Grove in Solon is very nice. Inside seating is spacious. We like the outside seating in nice weather. As would be expected from a brewery, they have a wide variety of excellent items on the drink menu. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Food is delicious.

A nice place to stop in and have a beer or fast meal. They have burgers if you want as well as manyvstarters and soups available. Decided to go with the tomato soup and it certainly was a hood choice.
