Called a half hour before open on a Saturday asking if they could accommodate a party of 10 for a kids birthday party. The manager who answered was so nice and said they would be happy to help! We were bringing an ice cream cake and she offered to keep in in their freezer untill after the kids jumped at Air Madness next door. When we arrived at the restaurant, they had a big table reserved for us! Our server, Christal, was so sweet and did a fantastic job taking care of us! I completely forgot to bring candles for the cake but Christal found some for us!! The food was great and so reasonably priced! I can't say how much I truly appreciate the staff and everything they did to make the party a wonderful experience. Thank you so much!!!

Situated between Harrisburg and Sioux Falls on south Minnesota Avenue, this place has really good food. The waitress was prompt and friendly. Food came out within 10-15 minutes of ordering. My friend got a BLT and fries. I tried their version of a Big Mac with fries. We also go an appetizer of Loaded Tater Tots. With tax was $41.52. Very large patio seating.

Grateful to have this awesome restaurant in Harrisburg! The food and the staff are both equally incredible, always, and they make a great team!! Everyone is always so friendly. Big J’s offer plenty of seating and love that they have gluten free buns as an option. They also have Plenty of parking space. My only wish is that inside could be warmer in the cold months and cooler in the hot months !
