    Service was really disappointing. If you come here, be prepared for long wait times unless you have a reservation. We waited 20 minutes just to be greeted by our server, and then it took even longer to receive our food and drinks. The coffee was overly sweet, though the drinks were decent. Honestly, I wasn’t even that upset with the server. He was kind and doing his best. What really frustrated me was being asked to leave because they had another reservation coming in. Keep in mind, the delay was entirely on them due to the extremely slow service and poorly prepared food. Overall, not worth it.

    Service was extremely slow, but the staff was friendly. I think they were short of help that day. Food was good, not great.

    We made a reservation for a brunch with my Best friend and daughter celebrating her upcoming wedding, to start we were early but seated right away. The waitress was very friendly and attentive. Food was excellent but to say the $25 bottomless mimosas were good is an understatement. They were great. looking forward to my next visit to Big Machine!!

    The food was mediocre at best. My sister ordered a chicken Caesar salad and served it with no dressing. She had to go find someone to get it for her. The fries were way too seasoned and undercooked. The restaurant wasn’t busy so I’m not sure what was going on. Sadly, we will not return. The outside patio and ambiance was the only positive!

    Really amazing! We were sat right near the live music, which contributed to it being loud. But beyond that, it was such a great experience. We'll for SURE be coming back!!

    Went to Big Machine Distillery & Tavern for Mother’s Day. It was our first time, so unsurprisingly what to expect. The neat thing about this place, they make their own Vodka. And it was delicious. A band was there so it was a little loud. There’s a patio for outdoor seating. Parking on site. Great service.
