    We love this place but tonight our food was just a bit off, our favorite appetizer was so salty and then a special of the month had NO flavor. Sad but definitely not a deterrent to go back

    We were an hour early, but the staff seated us almost immediately. Our server, Jesse, was outstanding! She did her best to ensure we had everything we needed. The restaurant was very, very busy. Our server and the ones who helped her were pleasant and efficient. We enjoyed our food, even though it seemed delayed in getting to us. We will be back to Big Bowl soons!
