Stellar! First time visitor today and I enjoyed everything. The atmosphere, the beer, the food, and of course it being dog friendly was the icing on the cake. We will be back!

Fantastic place. Definitely worth the trip out. Totally unique and well done. The beers are great. I loved the Munich Pale and the Rye IPA. The food is also super tasty. Deceptively simple and well executed. The Pickle and Pig delivered on the name and gave me exactly what I wanted. The staff are also fun and friendly. Everyone looks like they are happy to be there, and that says a lot about a place.

I am new to the Danville area and decent outing options are far and few within Danville. I came across Big Thorn Farm and Brewery online and took a short drive to check it out. Boy, am I glad I did. Everything about Big Thorn is on point. The couple who own and operate Big Thorn know exactly how to create a fun and inviting place to spend some down time. The craft beers are amazing and the food served from their food truck is elevated pub food. We are talking about very tasty rice bowls, sandwiches and amazing soups. They also have a Sunday brunch that is fantastic. That includes stuffed French toast options, breakfast tacos and an amazing breakfast sandwich that is out of this world. The setting is ideal. The year round greenhouse is the "main" brewery setting that is so much fun and offers plenty of seating. During the summer months they have two more outdoor seating areas that allow you to feel like you are enjoying the day at summer camp, with beer! All I can say, is YES!! Check out all Big Thorn offers and enjoy a little piece of heaven tucked away in Vermillion county. Last but not least the entire staff is so friendly and remember your face when you come back to visit them. A+++++

First time. Got 4.9 stars so we gave it a try. I had chorizo/pineapple bowl (wanted spicey chicken but sisters don't like heat). Very spicey...even for me. They had grilled sandwiches; roast pork w raspberry jam & chicken w blue cheese. Way too much raspberry jam...couldn't taste pork. Blue cheese overwhelming on chicken sandwich, and we love blue cheese. Less is more! Nice ambience...heaters felt great.

The best atmosphere and great beer in the middle of nowhere. Even when it gets busy, there is plenty of room to spread out, and their food truck is pretty good as well.

Food and beer were great and the atmosphere was awesome! We sat in the tree bar and enjoyed the breeze.
Just tried this place when I was back in my hometown. What a cool setup! A great way to picnic without any hassle! The surroundings are beautiful, the servers were very nice, and the food and beer were fantastic! The only downer is the porta potties, but there were very clean.

The food was served here out of a food truck on a farm property in the middle of nowhere. The food was also delicious. Beer was good and they had a local cider from where we are from which was cool. The property was really cool with a sandbox for kids, bags (cornhole), and plenty of fire pits to sit around. The main bar is under a canopy of trees which is great this time of year. I would definitely go back especially if visiting Glen Forest.

Good beer, good people and a very good atmosphere. Dog friendly inside too which is always a major bonus. The Sunday brunch menu was very good as well

Big thorn is one of our favorite get away spots. The location is fun, unique, and a great atmosphere.The tree bar, greenhouse bar, pavilion, and picnic tables, make for plenty of great seating options all year round. But it's especially wonderful during the warmer months.Drinks and food are lovely, and we always look forward to seeing what seasonal offerings they have.A great spot for an intimate date, or for the family/friends, with games and a play area for the kiddos.
