Me and my friends went for Saturday brunch. Sooo good! I personally had the Asian wings and pretzel with beer cheese and breakfast pizza. đ satisfied the foodie palette. highly recommend the bottomless mimosa and aperol. We had Sabrina the waitress who is so cool, friendly, very attentive to our table. If I'm scrolling down Las Olas or happen to be downtown Ft.lauderdale I'm definitely hitting up this place again.

Dirty glasses for water. The bottle that the water was in was also filthy. I ordered salmon and it was so dry and overcooked and the asparagus tasted like it was just soaking in butter or oil with no other flavor. I ordered Mac and cheese for my son from the kids menu. It didnât come with any side (for an $11 kids mealâŠ) and the pasta tasted like butter noodles.
Very disappointing. Not enough staff and one waitress had 5 tables out front so I didnât complain when they asked how the everything was. Very disappointing
I would also like to express my deepest appreciation to the bartenders Jocelyn, Janelle, and Alex at Big City Tavern in Fort Lauderdale for the exceptional service they have provided during our visit on Saturday, August 15, 2026, as well as on our many previous visits.
My wife and I live in West Miami Florida, and we drive to Fort Lauderdale almost every other weekend. Big City Tavern has become one of our favorite destinations, and there are several reasons why we continue to make the trip above all, the outstanding hospitality and customer service we consistently receive at the bar.
From the moment we walked in today, Jocelyn welcomed us with genuine kindness, professionalism, and a warm demeanor that remained consistent throughout our entire experience. Her attentiveness, courtesy, and humble approach made us feel truly valued as guests.
I would also like to recognize Janelle and Alex, who consistently demonstrate the same level of professionalism, friendliness, and dedication. Employees like Jocelyn, Janelle, and Alex are the people who elevate a business and leave a lasting impression on its customers.
While the food and drinks at Big City Tavern are always outstanding, it is the extraordinary customer service that transforms a great visit into an unforgettable experience. The genuine hospitality we receive is the reason we keep coming back and why we are always happy to recommend this establishment to others.
Thank you, Jocelyn, Janelle, and Alex, for making a meaningful difference and for consistently making us feel welcome. I would also like to commend the management team, because having employees of this caliber reflects strong leadership, excellent training, and a genuine commitment to customer satisfaction and excellence.
I wholeheartedly recommend Big City Tavern to anyone looking for great food, excellent drinks, a wonderful atmosphere, and exceptional hospitality. It is definitely a must-visit destination in Fort Lauderdale, especially if you enjoy spending time at the bar and experiencing truly outstanding service.
Thank you for continuing to make every visit special. We look forward to coming back again and again.
Note: My apologies if I have misspelled any of the above names. I only had first names available, but I am pretty sure you will be able to recognize this above employees for their exceptional work and excellent customer service.
Thank you,
Eli & Esther đđ»đ·đŻ đ·đđ»

Had a great experience at Big City Tavern on Las Olas. Rachel took amazing care of me â super friendly, attentive, and genuinely made me feel welcome. She was on top of everything without ever making it feel rushed.
The food was great, the drinks were on point, and Rachelâs service really made the night. Definitely the kind of bartender/server that makes you want to come back.
Ask for Rachel if youâre stopping by â sheâs awesome! đ

Big City Tavern has been one of my favorite spots for years, and itâs one of those places thatâs consistently great no matter the occasion. Whether youâre stopping in for lunch, dinner, happy hour, or just drinks with friends, the atmosphere is always welcoming and lively. The menu has something for everyone, and the food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and well prepared. From the burgers and sandwiches to the steaks, seafood, and appetizers, Iâve never had a bad meal here. The service has always been friendly, attentive, and professional, making every visit enjoyable from start to finish. The restaurant is clean, well maintained, and has a comfortable atmosphere thatâs perfect for families, date nights, or watching a game. Itâs hard to find a place thatâs this consistent over the years, which is why I continue coming back. If youâre looking for great food, excellent service, and a fun atmosphere in Fort Lauderdale, Big City Tavern is an easy five-star recommendation.
