Great place in Iowa city! Great selection of beers on tap. The building itself was cool and had a great outdoor area. Chicken sandwich was great. Pretzel was a pretty average pub pretzel but still decent. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $20–30 Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Giant Pretzel

I've been a regular here since the month this place opened. The beer is delicious. The food options are solid. The atmosphere is perfectly chill and accommodating for any size of group. When it's warm, this place is a hot spot because the outdoor space is huge and comfortable. Within walking distance of a park and some play structures too. Dog friendly. If you want a delicious craft brew, come here. Seriously, they are THE brewery of Iowa. Lots of good options too—it's not like only one or two are good. - People really like all of the Eddys. My favorite is West Eddy, and my husband also likes Royal Eddy. -The IPA or Arms Race were my other go to pours before they expanded the Eddy collection. -Summer Jam is the best sour, maybe that I've ever had ? It's seasonal but highly drinkable. -Citrus Surfer is a new option—it's crisp and fresh, light and tasty. Really you can't go wrong but if you aren't sure, just ask. the bartenders and servers are friendly and know their stuff. Food! The food rotates regularly and is often sources locally which is cool. I've eaten around the menu quite a bit and it's all very good. My only complaint is that oftentimes it's a bit too spicy for me (I'm low on the spicy side of things); however that is really only relevant for the rotating food items. When in doubt, we always get the burger. It's amazing. You will love it. Seriously sometimes we both get the exact same thing because it's that good. The queso is also a regular item for us, and I think the wings or cauliflower is a good appetizer option. My kids LOVE the Mac and cheese. They are preschool age so we usually get the appetizer size and split it rather than two kids meals. The merch is cool. I always want to buy it all. Plenty of clean bathrooms. I hate that the changing table is so close to the hand dryer. But I LOVE that there is a step stool. Why don't more places have these? Lastly, the last time we were here we chatted quite a bit with Adam, who is a manager but happened to be serving (12/26). He picks the best music for playlists and gave me super honest recommendations. Bravo! Give that guy some recognition for being awesome!

I love Big Grove. It’s one of the best, if not the best brewery in Iowa. Easy Eddie IPA is such a great beer. The outdoor seating area here is huge and really cool. The have multiple fire pits, an area for kids to play and a spot for dogs to roam. With the nice weather coming up this is going to be a great place to hang and do some day drinking. Parking was a little limited but other than that is an awesome experience all around. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

A wonderful place to stop.in for a quick bite to eat or have a few adult beverages with your friends. They offer many different beers that they brew on site. A large dining room and bar area. In the warmer months there is also plenty of seating outside. They also have cement calverts for the kids to play on as you enjoy talking and having fun with your friends.

I visited in January on a Tuesday so there wasn't much going on but the place is chock full of atmosphere and the service was friendly. Tacos and Margs were the special and the Margs were tasty. The taco was not a taco. It was a crispy pita type shell with some refried beans and fixings on it. Tasty, but not a taco and I had to spend a little time letting my brain get over the fact that I wanted a taco and ordered a taco but got some sort of boujie tostada. Still tasty but kind of a disappointment at the same time.. This place must be awesome in the summer when you can use all the awesome outdoor space at night. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

I would absolutely love to give this place a 5; beer was on point, couldn't beat the atmosphere, half the food I got was AMAZING but my main dish was mehhh. Highly recommend the Spring rolls, cold brew kolsh, and Eddy IPA. Don't recommend the Banh Mi. That said, I would come back here any day. All the beers I had were great and the spring rolls where phenomenal! Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $30–50 Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Service was slow and unattentitive. The sausage and pretzel were good. The Fondue fries were lacking cheese. The mushroom melt was overwhelmed by the goat cheese and lacking other favors. They were out of Pastrami and the daily special before 6pm which was disappointing as that was why we picked this location to dine. The outdoor seating is abundant and comfortable. Super dog friendly, if you want to dine with your four-legged friend. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $10–20 Food: 3 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Giant Pretzel

I am so glad I visited this place. The vibes? Immaculate. Service? Awesome (Hi Jake!). My waiter was Jake and he was super sweet and nice to chat with. I ordered the giant pretzel and a burger. The burger was decent and fries were very good. The special sauce was interesting - it tasted like mustard with a bit of a pickle taste and maybe a little mayo? The star of the meal was definitely the pretzel. It tasted so fresh (and it was.. I was told they’re made fresh in the morning) and the beer cheese was delicious. It was such a relaxing environment and beautiful night. I picked up a couple tees and stickers plus a glass mug. Sadly I live far-ish away in Los Angeles so I cannot be a regular but I would absolutely come back if I visit Iowa again.

Great service and wonderful food. We are here once in the summer and so nice to sit outside. This time was with our family and I forgot to take pics of the yummy appetizers! Everything we had was great and they change out their menu on occasion as well. Definitely a great place to have a drink or catch a game.

Wow! Stopped here for lunch and it was delish! Pleasant atmosphere with lots of room to sit. Will, our server (hi, Will!) was very gracious in spite of being a WHITE SOX FAN! (ha ha) The chicken noodle soup was more chicken than noodle and was delicious! The other items were great, too. The double chocolate cookies were to die for and the beer was m-m-good!
