  • Friday, September 8, 2006

Gordon Biersch Brewery Restaurant Group is opening a second Big River Grille and Brewing Works restaurant for the Chattanooga area to be located at Hamilton Place Mall.

The new restaurant has begun construction and will open to the public Oct. 9.

Officials said diners will enjoy a wide variety of made from scratch menu items as well as numerous fresh brewed beers to choose from.

The original Big River Grille and Brewing Works has been located in the heart of Chattanooga since 1993. The original location occupies a historic trolley barn and has been a favorite for locals and tourists alike ever since first opening.

While showcasing a new décor package and extensive patio area, the Hamilton Place location stays true to the spirit of the original with emphasis on made from scratch food, fresh beer and a comfortably inviting atmosphere, it was stated.

Officials said the majority of the menu will be made up of longtime favorites from the original location. Such entrée favorites include Blue Crab Stuffed Chicken, Sweet Magnolia Ribs, Low Country Shrimp and Grits, Smoky Mountain Pasta, BBQ Chicken Pizza, Grilled Salmon and Gorgonzola Ribeye. In addition to such entrees, the menu features a wide variety of appetizers including Pepper Jack Chicken Nachos, Asiago Artichoke Crab Dip, Chicken Spring Rolls, Smoked Tomato Bruschetta and Buffalo Wings.

“It is an honor to bring the Big River heritage of great food and exceptional beer to Hamilton Place,” said company president and CEO Allen Corey. “We are proud to call the Chattanooga area our home and have always been impressed by the support we have received from the community. We are happy to make Big River even more convenient for many of our guests who have been so loyal to us all these years.”

The Big River Grille and Brewing Works at Hamilton Place will be located off I-75 adjacent to the Hamilton Place Mall. The address of the location will be 2020 Hamilton Place Boulevard. The approximately 8,000 square-foot restaurant will feature an extensive dining room, spacious bar area, private dining/banquet room, and large outdoor patio. The new location will be open for lunch and dinner seven days a week. Reservations and private parties will be accepted and encouraged. Arrangements can be made by calling (423)553-7723.

Gordon Biersch Brewery Restaurant Group currently operates 27 restaurants with headquarters based in Chattanooga.
