Big River Grille & Brewing Works operates a restaurant concept that pairs an on-site brewery with made-from-scratch regional cuisine. Founded in 1993, its original Chattanooga location sits in a historic trolley barn near the Tennessee River, a setting that echoes its riverboat heritage. Now part of CraftWorks Restaurants and Breweries, Inc., the brand sits within a national restaurant group that includes multiple brands. The business serves diners seeking craft beer and regionally inspired meals in a casual setting, with an emphasis on hospitality and a distinctive sense of place. Historically, growth included the acquisition of Gordon Biersch restaurants in 1999, reflecting a broader expansion strategy within the CraftWorks family. Recent organizational changes have included closures of offices in Chattanooga and Florida.
