East Academic Building Café

Every trip to Big Sky finds the food fabulous, the atmosphere pleasant, and the service outstanding. The regular dishes (NOLA BBQ Shrimp, Rosemary/red wine braised pot roast, etc) are always so good that it’s hard to order something new. But the pan fried chicken livers and the grilled mushroom and lemon truffle risotto were soooo good. My mouth is watering just writing this.

My family went to Big Sky Cafe for lunch today. We enjoyed soups, salads, pasta, and cupcakes, all at a reasonable price. This was my first time there. I look forward to returning soon!

Service was incredible and the food had tremendous flavor. The shrimp and gouda grits appetizer was excellent, the pork chop entree was served perfectly and had tremendous flavor. This was all finished off with an apple pie and pecan dessert served with house made ice cream. Must try!

We came in for a late lunch to try out the Big Sky...the reviews we had read were good and they did not disappoint. We decided to try a couple of appetizers and entrées and share. Everything on the menu looked highly palatable and the menu was carefully assembled by Chef Dominic Weiss. We ordered the Roasted Cauliflower and Cheese Gratin, Turffle Roasted Root Vegetables and for entrees The Citrus Grilled Mahi and smashed sweet potatoes, and the Quinoa Lintel Burger. We sat outside in the sunshine and it was perhaps a little noisy for us with a train and the freeway nearby, but the great service and food more than made up for it. I could not imagine ever eating kraft macaroni and cheese after eating the Roasted Cauliflower and Cheese Gratin...some of the Rooted Vegetables found their way into the cheese and we really enjoyed this combo. As for the fish...you cannot wrong with this, and we especially enjoyed the grilled broccolini. The only thing that I would have enjoyed would perhaps been a drizzle of honey and cinnamon on the sweet potatoes. The Lintel Burger held its own, and was grilled nicely...It was a successful outing, and the employees were first class and cordial, courteous, and prompt. We shall return.

We last ate here in Sept 2019 so looking forward to dining here again. Again it was an outstanding lunch and we had great service from Joseph. We felt safe entering as tables spaced, employees in masks, they took info for contact tracing, hand sanitizer at the entrance and on tables. Drinks were brought to table immediately and server gave us time to review the paper menu which became our placemats. We split the pear&kale salad which was very good. Several slices of pear and the dressing was very good. She had the Blue Cheese burger fixed medium with fingerling potatoes. She ranked the burger as one of the best in long time. I went back to the pot roast which is outstanding. So tender and flavorful and served over polenta with the rich meat juices. Would order again but need to order something else on return. If in the area of Webster Groves you should try Big Sky.
