"The Big Casino name is a nod to the storied past of the historic Downtown building, which housed the Big Casino Saloon, a pre-Prohibition era bar and gambling hall founded in 1866. Today, the restaurant and bar boasts one of the largest open-air patios in Downtown and entices visitors with its impressive cocktail list, steak nights on Sundays and Wednesdays, and a diverse menu including dishes such as campechana, crawfish beignets, and pollo asada skewers." - Megha McSwain, Brittany Britto Garley
