Wow, what a fantastic first impression! I mean, literally - it's their first day and they're already crushing it! Our group of 30 (yeah, we're a loud and hungry crew) descended upon this brewery-restaurant like a swarm of thirsty locusts, and Sean, our superhero server,...Read More

We love Big Top Collective but we’re very disappointed in the new big top. We ordered outside and the bartenders seemed inconvenienced that we wanted to order beer at the walk up point. We ordered the appetizer platter which came out on a paper plate…...Read More

Great food, great beer, and excellent service.I love the pepperoni pizza. It comes a little bit burnt around the edge, which adds a nice dimension of flavor. It was borderline too burnt last time and we couldn't eat the crust, but it was...Read More

Potstickers were very good, spicy tuna was too fishy, crab Rangoon too fishy and burnt, chicken meatballs fantastic flavor but being that ground chicken doesn't have...Read More

First off, the food was a 3.5-4 for me. Pretty good as the crow flies. But what made it 5 star worthy for me was my waitress. So, as someone on the autism spectrum going out to eat can feel really overwhelming. She was on...Read More
