Our son requested his birthday dinner at Big Chief and the staff was helpful reserving us a table for all 8 of us - our family and the family of his girlfriend... picnic table inside - well organized... and the staff handled the large order quite nicely.
We all enjoyed
- Carnivore flatbread
"house made pizza sauce, mozzarella provolone blend, bacon, hamburger, pepperoni, sausage"
- The Horseshoe, with brisket
... "your choice of smoked pulled pork or smoked brisket(add $3) served over a bed of french fries with your choice of sweet or spicy barbecue and served with baked beans and cole slaw"
- The Big John (a first time for fish... it was good, on its own, and bettie with the malted vinegar!) with a side of fries
"seasoned and breaded cod filet, deep fried, and served on a hoagie with tartar on the side"
- the house-flavored fries... some of the best in town... also great to talk home, chop up, and fry in the pan... then put under your eggs / omelette - such a fantastic breakfast with "Big Chief hash browns"
- dessert of blue owl carrot cake, with forks for all to share!
- the birthday night... great location for fun and friendship and presents!
Thank you, Ashley, for serving us for this wonderful birthday dinner!

Great family dinner!
We have visited Big Chief over the years, typically at off-hours on a weekend afternoon, on our way home from Babler State Park or Rockwoods Reservation. The food then was typically pizza or wings, and they were consistently good.
This past weekend, on Friday night, we did walk at Rockwoods just before dinner time, and I called to see if we could get reservations. We ended up going to our parish's fish fry, but we did go to Big Chief Saturday night.
We had a fantastic time and great food.
The restaurant was full, and we thankfully secured a table quickly.
My wonderful wife enjoyed the beef brisket plate, and the waitress worked to make sure that her other items were
gluten free, recommending several substitutions to my wife... that was a big help!
Our daughter, son and I all spit three things... wings, Ozark poutine, and the rib plate.
WOW!
The wings were as good tonight as on previous visits.
Our son knew about poutine from class or somewhere... seemed new for me.
The menu notes about poutine: "bed of french fries topped with a roasted garlic cream sauce, bacon, tomatoes, and green onions."
These were good! all of the ingredients work well together, and the bacon being a top-notch bacon (not fatty) made the biggest difference in pulling it all together.
Top it all off with the carafe of Arnold Palmer and we left with smiles.
We'll be back!
