This was my first time to bigfoot. We decided to give it a shot after spending some money at the casino. After walking in you could tell they really put some work into it since the last place was here. The menu is small and simple. It has burgers, appetizers, a few breakfast items and just a few other items. They have a very large bar selection. I decided to try the bigfoot toes. They are a jalapeno popper with bacon inside a wonton wrapper deep fried goodness. My wife decided to have some breakfast and had the 2 egg breakfast she got the chocolate chip pancakes and that came with a chocolate sauce the only issue my wife had with that was that they ended up getting the chocolate sauce all over her scrambled eggs. I ended up deciding on the baconfeast tenderloin sandwich. It was stuffed with cheese and bacon. I got it with a side of hashbrown casserole. The sandwich was good it was a bit much but it was good. I really enjoyed the hashbrown casserole. Overall Im sure we will be back.

Over cooked and under seasoned. All menu items must have seasoning cooked into it. A potato is going to taste like a bland starch unless it is transformed with salt, pepper, onion, garlic, a little bit of spice, and green herbs. If a cook cant season then he or she needs to be back in the class room. The bartender was amazing, very attentive, and took ownership of her bar. Her confidence showed through her hospitality and her ability to make drinks. Drink menu consists of lemonaid based beverages, beer, soda ect. In my experience the best thing I had was the drink an alcoholic berry lemonaid. Overall the building hasnt changed much since Jethroni. Same layout, same floors, New decor here and there but the concept works with the new menu. The menu is smaller but mighty. This restaurant doesnt need an 10 page menu its straight and to the point. All items sounded amazing as described its just the execution. Once that major issue is fixed this place could have the potential.

A large group of us went here for a late fathers day get together. Food was tasty, atmosphere was fun, service was good. Only complaint, there is something -wrong- with either the building or its grease trap. The inside of the building smells awful. If I wasnt meeting family there I would have turned around right after walking in. Its nauseating at first. (You would have earned a 4 star without that issue!) Dear Bigfoot owners, Whatever youre using to try cover up the smell with, its not working. Just making it worse. Just spend the money and fix it. (In Bigfoots defense, its not unique to them. The smell was there when I tried the previous restaurant in the same location.)

If this were based on the food alone it would be 4 stars, but service would be 2 stars at best. The food was good, and portion sizes were big. The service however was subpar at best. My husband waited over 15 min for a refill, even though the waitress walked by us and was looking at us from the kitchen while she was talking. A different waitress brought us our food and got him a refill. Then she brought us boxes and after waiting 15 min I had to request the check, which still took another 10 min for her to bring it, which she rudely slammed on the table, and then took another 12 min to pick it back up and return my change. Based on the service I doubt well go back.

We stopped in Altoona to park the rig for the night and decided to try Bigfoot. We were NOT disappointed!!! Everything we tried was absolutely delicious. We had the bacon stuffed tenderloin and roast beef sandwich. We also tried the Brussel sprouts and hashbrown casserole. All of it was outstanding. The portions are enormous, fittingly for a place called Bigfoot. We now have a whole meal leftover for the road tomorrow.

The burger was less than average. beef tasted cheap, bacon was nice and thick but burnt, cheese seemed fake and chewy. the cherry pepsi (not actual cherry pepsi, made by the workers) was pretty good, and the curly fries wouldve actually been good if they were fresh. Only reason i gave a 3 star rating was because of good customer service, this place is owned by jethros so dont expect anything special.

We ate here last night and they were crazy busy. Even though they were still working out some kinks they staff was very friendly and they were able to get our food out to us in a relatively short amount of time. My wife and I ordered the Baconfest Tenderloin and the Sirracha Mac n Cheese both pictured below. The food was hot and fresh and they give big portions here.

My husband and I went here after going to adventureland. Our server Hannah was beyond what you expect from a server. we had mushroom for an appetizer and they where amazing. We had the original chicken sandwich and the tenderloin, was the best chicken and tenderloin sandwich we have ever had! We havent enjoyed a resurarant like we did here in a very long time!

Fun place for comical ambiance and heavy food. The all you can drink mimosa bar looks appealing except that it is served in the morning. But, what the heck, life is worth living. It is popular and you may expect a wait. Food has generous portions. Deserts are quite nice also, but you will be so full of the meal that it may not be appetizing.

I had the Abominable blue cheese burger with bacon brussels sprouts as a side. It was AMAZING!! As well as the service from all the staff especially our waitress (Tamera). I went with a couple guys from work for lunch and I cant wait to go back and take my wife to enjoy Bigfoot.

Went there with some people from work and from out of the area. Was told it was a great Italian place. But we noticed the name has changed. We ate there anyways. The staff was very nice and the food was excellent. Everything was clean and well done all around.

Pleasantly surprised. I expected your typical restaurant/bar good and it was anything but that. Its not a huge menu but theres nothing wrong with doing a few things week rather then doing a lot of things poorly. The staff was very friendly!

As a paranormal investigator and creature lore.....loved this place . Awesome people and great food.....would love to investigate the place with the team and find proof of the "friend" I felt in here. So cool on many levels.

Ate twice here in the past week. Came out on a Thursday night for some drinks, the bartender (Chris) was awesome, gave some samples from the tap. Food was delicious. Everything was served quick. Appreciate you guys.

Nice atmosphere, good service. Little lacking in beer options but still a decent selection. Only tried the pretzels and Bigfoot dip. The dip tasted off but was still edible and will try again on a future visit.

The atmosphere was interesting and unique. My wife and I had burgers, blue cheese & plane bacon burgers. They were a little hard to get your mouth around, but the taste was good. Great and attentive service!

Sub-par food for a premium price, the burgers were extremely greasy, albeit decent (couldnt set the burger down because of the amount of grease on the plate). For the price, I would prefer to eat elsewhere.
