Food was excellent, service was too! Great atmosphere. We brought our grandkids and they had the fish and tomato soup. Loved them both. The chicken might have been the best flavor on a roasted chicken I have ever had. Everything was great. Recommend for all!!!!

Every trip to Big Sky finds the food fabulous, the atmosphere pleasant, and the service outstanding. The regular dishes (NOLA BBQ Shrimp, Rosemary/red wine braised pot roast, etc) are always so good that it’s hard to order something new. But the pan fried chicken livers and the grilled mushroom and lemon truffle risotto were soooo good. My mouth is watering just writing this.

My family went to Big Sky Cafe for lunch today. We enjoyed soups, salads, pasta, and cupcakes, all at a reasonable price. This was my first time there. I look forward to returning soon!

We had a dozen convenient options for eating before an opera performance at nearby Webster University. I was familiar with the area from previous trips. I look forward to returning! Online reservations, promptly seated and served. (I do think it a little strange that masks are required before seating, but then we were seated immediately beside another couple in an otherwise empty room). Pleasant and efficient waiter, good variety on menu, meal well presented.

My husband and I like to go around town and check out different coffee shops. This place definitely isn’t a ‘winter’ coffee shop stop. Trying to get into the place was very dangerous. No salt AT ALL we slid all the way to the front door. As waking in no hi, hello, welcome. It was WHERE IS YOUR MASK? The coffee and food was okay. I wouldn’t take the 45 min drive to come back. Also for any hot coffee drinkers, no free refill.

The coffee is excellent and they have a variety of milk replacements! The pastries and food are great too. Lovely ambiance and wonderful staff. I come here almost every weekend!

Mandy does a great job with everything she does. We see her every weekend. This place is small and welcoming. Great live music too.

Service was incredible and the food had tremendous flavor. The shrimp and gouda grits appetizer was excellent, the pork chop entree was served perfectly and had tremendous flavor. This was all finished off with an apple pie and pecan dessert served with house made ice cream. Must try!

We came in for a late lunch to try out the Big Sky...the reviews we had read were good and they did not disappoint. We decided to try a couple of appetizers and entrées and share. Everything on the menu looked highly palatable and the menu was carefully assembled by Chef Dominic Weiss. We ordered the Roasted Cauliflower and Cheese Gratin, Turffle Roasted Root Vegetables and for entrees The Citrus Grilled Mahi and smashed sweet potatoes, and the Quinoa & Lintel Burger. We sat outside in the sunshine and it was perhaps a little noisy for us with a train and the freeway nearby, but the great service and food more than made up for it. I could not imagine ever eating kraft macaroni and cheese after eating the Roasted Cauliflower and Cheese Gratin...some of the Rooted Vegetables found their way into the cheese and we really enjoyed this combo. As for the fish...you cannot wrong with this, and we especially enjoyed the grilled broccolini. The only thing that I would have enjoyed would perhaps been a drizzle of honey and cinnamon on the sweet potatoes. The Lintel Burger held its own, and was grilled nicely...It was a successful outing, and the employees were first class and cordial, courteous, and prompt. We shall return.
