★★★★☆ 4.0 Kate Miller · Jan 2026

My husband and I really enjoyed our experience at Big Woods. The food and drinks were delicious and the environment was busy as expected. We had their pizza and brussel sprouts which were both excellent. Their drinks were made to order and fairly priced for the area. Parking is paid street parking like most places in the area. There was a wait, but for a Friday night, it was expected and we ended up sitting at the bar. Not sure if they are kid-friendly, but it was a typical restaurant-bar environment.

Love this place. Own brewed beer, whiskey and vodka! Great selection of drinks and plenty of tasty food as well. Had some fried brussel sprouts instead of fries which were great if you don't mind the flavor. Forgot to leave the tip after getting some change so popped it through the door for Emily a couple of days later🤭

If you are in or near Bloomington, IN looking for some authentic made to order cuisine and eat in a historical location then this is a must stop. There is something here for everyone and everything looks delicious and well prepared. The ambiance is very warm and welcoming and staff are very friendly and accommodating. They have a nice selection of their own brews to go with the awesome food.

Had the brisket nachos, and let me just say that there were like 3 pieces of brisket on it. The cheese was a glue like consistency, caking everything together. Terrible choice for an appetizer. Next, I decided to have the hard truth whiskey burger medium rare, but what I received was so cooked it was dry as a bone. The fries had the life cooked out of them and were not at all palatable. 20 bucks for a mediocre byrger is unacceptable. The guy waiting for our table was not very attentive, and the atmosphere was claustrophobic. I would use liquid cheese on the nachos and stop overcooking everything. Also, why on earth are employees allowed to drink while on the job? Under no circumstances should this be allowed. I will not be back. Very disappointing experience, man. The big woods in downto

I usually love this place. We order online through grub hub and tried to take advantage of one of their deals. Wings pizza and bread sticks. We also ordered a pretzel and beer cheese. In the end the restaurant had run completely out of dough. So no pizza and no breadsticks. No communication from the restaurant or grub hub on the inability to provide these items so when our order arrived we were very disappointed. Not only was over half the order missing but their quality has simply gone down. The wings tasted old. (I know the y smoke and store them, then reheat for service) but these were so dry that they must have been smoked several days ago. Not to mention how a restaurant in prime location in a college town can run out on a primary ingredient on the friday before the super bowl. The pr
