Staff were friendly. Great atmosphere outside under the awning! The best burger I've had in a long time! Incredible selection of beers.

Came here after a hike. Had a very good Lupo beer and Korean style wings. They are very pet friendly so it was perfect for my daughters dog. Nice place to sit and relax.

I have been to many breweries by myself. This is the first time someone cleared my drinks while I stepped away from the bar to use the restroom.
Edit, they did offer to make it right when I closed my bill.

Most of the food was good. My gyro was so full of black pepper I couldn't enjoy or finish it. Our waitress had a lot of tables.

If you’re in Des Moines and looking for a spot that blends great beer, delicious food, and a welcoming atmosphere, Big Grove Brewing is a must-visit! We recently stopped in and were instantly impressed by their outdoor patio area — it’s covered and comfortable, making it the perfect place to relax whether the sun is shining or there’s a light drizzle. The space feels inviting and well thought-out, with plenty of seating and a laid-back vibe.
I ordered one of their IPAs, and it did not disappoint — fresh, hoppy, and perfectly balanced. The beer menu is diverse enough to satisfy any taste, from hop lovers to those who prefer lighter or more unique brews. For food, I had the Butcher Board, which came with a flavorful sausage and a warm, soft pretzel. Everything was fresh, well-presented, and paired perfectly with my beer.
The service was excellent — friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming without being overbearing. Staff members clearly take pride in making sure guests have a great experience.
Between the excellent craft beer, tasty bites, and inviting patio space, Big Grove Brewing really nails the brewery experience. We’ll definitely be coming back and recommending it to friends and family!

Tucker did an amazing job! I come a lot and he was outstanding compared to usual. Attentive, kind, positive, still gave us adequate space, and quick food and drinks on a Friday night! Also the food was 10/10 - hot Cheeto Mac n cheese!

I didn’t have a good experience at your brewery. My server’s name was Hanna. My wife and I ordered 2 beers and then watched Hanna go to the bar to get our beers we thought. Instead Hanna, walked past us several times taking orders from other patrons. She set up plates and cups at one table and then just casually walked past us and smiled. After almost 10 minutes my wife and I left. I guess the beer was being flown in from Italy 🤷♂️

Big Grove Brewery is an absolute gem! Every visit is a blast, with great vibes, great brews, and fantastic food that never disappoints. What truly elevates the experience, though, is the stellar service from Nick and Alex. Their energy, humor, and genuine care make every trip feel like catching up with old friends. I always find myself hoping they’re working when I swing by.

Great venue and space. But I'd say go for the beer and not for the food. The quality of the food is good but the portion sizes versus price is not aligned. I get that prices are up and their food is a lot of local stuff, but still. I recently had dinner here with a group of six and everyone's order seemed quite small. For example, I had a salad and added tofu for $3 which amounted to maybe five small squares.

It's a large brew pub that allows dogs on the patio. Food was good but a little over priced. Beer was excellent and the price was good. They add 3% if you use credit card.

My fiancé and I just moved to the area and wanted good outdoor seating. We love this place and have came back a few times. We got to know Katerina and Zoe and they are the BEST! The food was incredible and service was some of the best we’ve had!!! Our new favorite spot!
