What Robert M dislikes about Big River Grille:
Fantastic location. Did the Sunday brunch with family. Sirloin ok. Mash potato's were made from a low grade box mix and watery. Cafeteria quality. Chocolate fountain used cold chocolate syrup. Restaurant needs a remodel. Could be a gem but it also was expensive for the quality. Hostess and server were good. View all feedback.
