We’ve been keeping close tabs on the dining locations in Disney World that haven’t yet reopened.
Well, we’ve got some updates to share with you! Another restaurant at Disney’s BoardWalk is reopening — Big River Grille & Brewing Works!
Big River Grille serves up hearty eats like steaks, burgers, and nachos, along with a variety of beer. Along with many other Disney World restaurants, Big River Grille didn’t reopen along with the rest of the parks last summer.
Now, the restaurant is welcoming guests once again!

Paper menus are available and include shareables, soups and salads, favorites, burgers and sandwiches, desserts, and kids meals. The menu is basically the same as we remember it, and nothing really stands out.
And as this IS a brewery (it’s right there in the name), the back of the menu features beers on tap, cocktails, and wine.
Guests can choose to dine indoors where bar seating is available, with chairs spread out and plexiglass dividing seating areas.
But for those who prefer to sit outdoors, there are tables and chairs set up outside, too.
While here, we decided to grab the Brewery Nachos with Chicken, the Big Brew Cheeseburger, and the Chocolate Confusion.
Dessert is the Chocolate Confusion- Chocolate Mousse layered between Oreo-Brownie Cake with Icing and Chocolate Chips! pic.twitter.com/6LVXwzOsws

So glad they are back open. Just got back a week ago from staying at the yacht club and missed this little hidden gem. I know you don’t care for it but my family and I love big river grill. It truly is a little hidden gem to get away from the parks. And it’s in expensive. Have never had a bad meal there. If we are there for over a week we will eat there at least 2 times. It nice to have silverware and sit down for a cocktail or beer. Try the beer cheese soup and the Mahi mahi sandwich they are delicious or their Cobb salad is outstanding
Sorry AJ, but we love the Big River Grille. Yes, it’s pub food, but the burgers are good (really), the ribs are perfect, good quesadillas and we love all those fresh brews. Sure the menu is not expansive, but really what’s NOT to like!
