Big River Restaurant

This place is a shadow of it’s former self. Decided to visit while in town for a OSU basketball game not realizing this restaurant had new ownership. Made a reservation and still had to wait 10-15 mins for a table. The new manager seemed very disorganized and overwhelmed. We were seated and they only had one menu available for my wife and I. Once ordered, it took 45 mins to receive water/drinks. Now I would imagine 2+ hours before a game would be plenty of time to eat and get over to the stadium. I was totally wrong. It came to 30 mins before the game and our meal had not yet come. After speaking with the manager and our meal nowhere in sight, we decided to leave. This place has gone downhill under the new owners. Definitely will not be back after this terrible experience.

How delightful! Arrived 1pm on a friday and Katie was very friendly. We received bread and were served at the bar. The new range of Mazama beers are a super pleasant surprise. I love having these so available! The copper top bar and mirrors make the bar area spacious and inviting. There is an upstairs eating area as well as outside. Food concentrates on local, fresh ingredients and close observation of the kitchen proves they have the skill and food safety to provide an excellent meal. So glad of the new Mazama change. We will be back often!

First time in and will be back. Great selection of brews and very good food.
