Big City Tavern is a busy, vibrant restaurant reminiscent of the great urban taverns of Chicago, New York and Boston. A stylish, classic American restaurant, Big City offers a varied menu featuring dry aged steaks, burgers, fresh seafood, salads and fresh house-made pasta of the day. Some of the more popular dishes are the Pan Roasted Salmon with Tomato and the House-Made Charcuterie. The desserts are all enticing, all house made and all delicious. The extensive wine list emphasizes California varietals by the bottle or glass. With its magnificent grand bar always busy, Big City has a constant din of energy and conviviality. Big City offers outdoor sidewalk dining in the center of the action on Las Olas Blvd. If you have special needs, require high chairs or need assistance please notify us.

Please call the restaurant to make reservations for parties of 8 or more!

    Everything was excellent our server was knowledgeable and very courteous. Everyone’s food was excellent the only qualms were that the calamari was a little chewy (a risk taken with all normal calamari) and the meatloaf was a little burnt on the bottom. Overall the drinks were excellent, the food was amazing and delicious, and the ambiance made us want to bookmark this place for our next visit!

    We were seated promptly at our reservation time. Jo-Lee was an amazing server. She made sure each of our group of 4 received drinks and meals that were individually suited. Jo-Lee extra attention to dietary restrictions was greatly appreciated. With a couple minor modifications all were about to enjoy the diverse menu. We had a great time.

    I've been going to Big City Tavern for many years and the food and service are consistently great. I highly recommend it. Yous should know that lots of locals eat there. Lots of restaurants come and go, but Big City survives because of the food and service.

    We were excited to try this place and loved everything about it (the great service—thanks, Mike! The cozy ambiance) until the food came. Everyone in our party was disappointed with their meal and my burger was the greasiest, grossest burger I have ever eaten. Perhaps it was just a bad day in the kitchen but I will certainly order a salad next time l.

    Slow service isn’t the word for it. Food took forever. Pork chop raw. 1 waiter stepped up was a great guy really tried to make it better by offering us dessert. Didn’t want to wait for it
