Hungry stomachs are forced to contemplate cooking their own food while our brains are busy plotting ways to make Hollywood starlets fall in love with our ungainly cousins. Quell an insurgent appetite with today's Groupon at The Big River Restaurant, located in Coquitlam on Schoolhouse Street. Hunger hushes when confronted with any of the eclectic items on the dinner menu, such as the garlic fries starter ($6), which features taters deep fried to crispy resistance and brought to true potato potential with the guidance of fresh chopped garlic, basil pesto mayo, and chipotle bbq mayo. Favourite entrees include the Big River pepper steak ($20), sweet cherry pork loin ($15), and the Mongolian beef stir-fry ($13). Imbibe the casual atmosphere contained within the high-ceiling, dark-wooded dining area before choosing a liquid libation from a diverse menu of drinks

Reviews

Yelpers give Big River Restaurant an average of 3.5 stars, while DineHere users give it an average of three:

• It's a good brewery/pub/restaurant and the food is typical of such an establishment. Well satiating burgers and a decent local brew. – Tim L., Yelp
• It isn't meant to be any fancy night out, but a very classy brewery that has an excellent selection of house brews, a good atmosphere where the music isn't too loud but you still feel like there is an environment [sic] around you, and overall solid menu. – MmmmGood78, DineHere
