Big River Grille closes second Chattanooga location
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (WDEF) — Big River Grille and Brewing Works in Downtown Chattanooga has officially closed its doors.
This restaurant was located on Broad Street, not far from the Tennessee Aquarium.
Passersby will notice a sign on the door informing them that the business has closed. They are also thanking the public for their support throughout the years.
After reaching out to SPB Hospitality, they gave a statement on their reasoning for the closure. They note shifting traffic patterns in the area.
“As of October 29th, 2023, we have made the difficult decision to close our Chattanooga location of Big River Grille and Brewing Works due to shifting traffic patterns in the area. We tried every avenue possible to avoid closure, but ultimately could not continue to operate.
We wish to express our sincere gratitude to our loyal guests who have supported us over the years at this location. We are grateful for the memories and experiences we have shared together, and we will always cherish the relationships we have built with the local community. We want to assure our guests that our other location of Big River Grille in Orlando, FL will continue to operate as usual, and we are committed to providing the same high-quality food and service that you have come to expect from us.
We are grateful for the many years we were able to serve the Chattanooga community and we want to thank our employees at Big River for their hard work and dedication. We are committed to supporting them through this transition and will be offering them opportunities to transfer to our other locations within our portfolio.”
Big River Grille‘s Hamilton Place location also shut down just more than a year ago.
Now, the only location still open is in Orlando, Florida.
