Big River Grille & Brewery Sign Removed at Disney’s BoardWalk Resort
On January 21, 2024, the Big River Grille and Brewing Works opened its door for the final time at Disney’s BoardWalk Resort.
The restaurant has been a staple of the resort since it opened in 1996, delighting guests ever since with its unique take on American pub favorites.

When visiting the BoardWalk today, we noticed that the Big River Grille sign has been removed. Additionally, the building remains empty.
Other Dining Options Available
A sign in front of the former restaurant’s front door asks guests to visit one of the other food and beverage locations at Disney’s BoardWalk.
These include:
Carousel Coffee (6:30am-3:30pm)
BoardWalk Deli (7:00am-10:00pm)
The BoardWalk Pizza Window (12:00pm-12:00am)
Boardwalk Ice Cream (3:00pm- 11:00pm on weekdays; 12:00 pm – 11:00 pm on Saturdays and Sundays)

Flying Fish (5:00pm-9:30pm)
What Will Become of the Big River Grille Building?
At this time, Disney has not announced what will be replacing Big River Grille at Disney’s BoardWalk Resort. Following the restaurant’s closure, Disney announced that food trucks would be temporarily added to the resort.
While a Cast Member informed us that the food trucks would be rotating in and out, we were able to try the App’s truck when it arrived at the resort.
So, if you are planning on staying at Disney’s BoardWalk Resort, or perhaps always stopped by the Big River Grille for its IPAs, be forewarned. The era of the Big River Grille has come to an end. Alternative dining plans will need to be made.
