Nice setting on the Disney boardwalk, but the interior is nothing special. Typical burger fare. Server was very friendly and on the ball. Only their own beers on tap (a good thing - stand behind your own product), but selection was limited in terms of styles. Only brewpub on the disney campus as far as I can tell.

Visited on a Sunday afternoon. Nice setting on the Boardwalk at Disney World. We did not eat, but the food we saw going to other patrons looked and smelled great. They had about six of their own beers on tap - the ones we tried were average, not bad but nothing outstanding either.

Beautiful setting on the lake with a nice view of the nightly fireworks from Epcot. Six house beers were being offered. The service was decent. All three Big River Grille’s have pretty good food and this one is no exception.

Disney-esque ambiance, which is pretty mediocre for a brewpub. Beer is very average, as is the food. Nothing special, but if you’re at Disney it’s definitely the best beer around unless you go to Epcot’s Germany area for some Spaten Optimator.

We make sure that we stop in here whenever we go to Disney. Heck it’s the only brewpub in the area and to be honest when you stay on Disney property one of the only places to get some decent Craft Beer. Nothing amazing but always decent beers. We enjoy the food as well and if you go during lunch it’s really not too crowded (especially compared to the restaraunts in the parks).

Sat at the bar. Service was good. Food came quickly. Minuscule menu. Literally eight to ten dinners to choose from. The beer was middle-of-the-road. Not bad; not great. Fairly good. Expensive.

coming from Cleveland, OH and looking for a place to get some micro-brews, this was not the place. tried the sampler, and not good. the beers all fell short of being what they should of been. i guess it is "watered" down for the mass of tourist, but with a ESPN cafe next door, they should really improve on the beers and make it a place to get good beer.

From 3/3 lunch visit. Nice clean looking pub with an unique design on Disneys Boardwalk. Service and food was excellent. I had the Honey Dijon Chicken Sandwich ($9.99) and a cup of the Beer Cheese Soup ($3.50). I just had one brew (Sweet Magnolia Brown Ale) which was alright. They had about 5 other ones on tap as well. A little pricey, but what do you expect-your in Disney. Nice addition and alternative for the tourists. I prefer a neighborhood pub, but would visit again if the opportunity arises.

Went here around just before Christmas 2006. Most the beer was alright, but they had a cask conditioned pumpkin porter, which was amazing! Bar manager very friendly and likes beer. I’d definitely go back.

I have been here quite a few times. It is nice to have a place like this at Walt Disney World. Especially in such a lively area of the resort. The Boardwalk area is definitely a nice place to stay with entertainment around such as this place. Pretty average beers but there are a few good ones there. I really enjoyed the Steamboat Pale and Winters Nip. My biggest gripe is that it can get quite loud inside. I mostly go there for their food though, the Honey Dijon Chicken Sandwich is amazing. Definitely a place to go to if you like beer and are in Walt Disney World.
