Big Grill Restaurant

Quality burger. The fries were outstanding. Star of the show. Had a cup of bone broth, love that they have that here. Ambiance is cool, great tame impala playlist going. Very very good service—attentive but not overbearing. Would definitely recommend if passing by.

Love the vibe and the food! Great spin on traditional favorites made with locally sourced ingredients and cooked with common sense! Best of all — I feel so good after eating the smash burger. Unlike other fast casual and fast food burgers. I can’t wait for the Summer Chicken Caesar Salad!

This place is so good. Bill was really cool. The food is 10/10. Great music. We had a great time.

This was our first visit to Tallow and cannot stop mentioning how great it is. From the second we walked in, the staff was very welcoming and friendly. The smashburger was juicy and on a perfectly paired bun. Their brisket melt was great as well, it came on a nice toasted bread with savory brisket inside and a white sharp cheddar. The steak that comes with the steak frites was so tender and barely needed to be cut. The garlic aioli on the side was delicious and great for the steak and fries. Their fries are a nice thick cut and have great dry seasoning on them. Wherever you are, make the trip and you will be coming back. We also got a lemon tart for the road and the oatmeal crust is great with tart.

Beefy! I had The Melt which had slow cooked short rib / brisket which had a rich beefy flavor, and was complemented nicely by the melted local cheese and sourdough bread. It was simple but rich, and tasted amazing. Paired with the salty hand cut fries, it was an appropriately sized portion given the richness. Service was friendly and efficient. Will definitely be back!

Best burger I’ve had in ages. The anti-industrial/processed foods vibe is refreshing and timely. Went back the next day to try the sour sour bacon eggs and cheese and it was equally delicious.

The food here is seriously good. I had the smash burger and tallow fries. My partner, a vegetarian, the squash soup and grilled cheese (with mushroom). Both were very well made. I particularly liked the care they took in preparing the food. It’s an open kitchen so we could see everything. They tasted a fry after it was seasoned. Same with the soup after heating it in a pot. The plate was wiped clean to ensure a good presentation. No of it seemed performative. The people being the counter are clearly well trained. My only regret is that the menu didn’t seem to stretch their skills or talents. Maybe it’s the local market.

The tallow fries are incredible! I'm salivating just thinking about it. We got a chocolate banana smoothie and dipped the fries, WICKED GOOD! The buns were soft and fresh, the burgers were cooked perfectly The vibe was great, good music, they have mason jars with all the spices, everything is fresh and local. We had been driving for 2+ hours, so we were ready to sit and eat, and it was a good spot, we will be back. My only negative is that some of the chicken was raw, but Laurie made us whole, and overall we enjoyed our experience

Don’t be put off by the buildings look! Burger was delicious. Fries were one of a kind and absolutely divine! Melt was also enjoyed. Great spot to stumble upon while taking a visitor on a mini tour of NWCT & the surrounding area. Will certainly visit again & look forward to trying more of the menu/introducing it to others!

First time visit, and this is a great addition to the area. The food was fantastic. We had the Melt and a BEC sandwich. They hand-make the rolls in-house - we saw them rolling the dough. The tallow fries were excellent. Really positive experience. Update visit 2: Best steak and eggs ever, and a fantastic smoothie. I wish they had a food truck for local events.

This place rocks and genuinely has the best french fries I’ve ever had in my life. Like, it’s not even close. Nate and Will+Bill are super cool and nice. Good beer selection. I got the standard smashburger, everything on it, and it was an incredible burger. 10/10. Love these guys.

IDK who gave this place a 1 star review but they must be out of their mind. I have ordered food a dozen times and it is absolutely amazing. I liked fast food as a kid. Anyone who can eat McDonald's or Chick-fil-A, you have a strong stomach because I feel terrible after. Tallow does "fast food" but when you're done eating it, you don't feel terrible about your impulsive eating decision. Everything is amazing, the staff remembered my name after my first order, and there is no seed oils, so you feel great after a burger and fries (that do not need ketchup) because the beef tallow flavor is incredible. They added a fried chicken sandwich that I just had for the first time and it is my new favorite.

This burger absolutely smashed it. From the first bite, this smash burger had me rethinking every burger I’ve ever had. Perfection. The bun? Buttery, lightly toasted, and just the right size to hold everything together without turning into a soggy mess. If you’re looking for a burger that’s fast, flavorful, and freakishly addictive. The smoothie was fresh, light and sweet. The chicken sandwich was equally as amazing! The food didn't sit heavily on stomach, it felt light and like I was properly nourishing my body. I will definitely be returning for more.

Well done! 👏. The best burger & fries I’ve had in the area, maybe ever actually. Concept is amazing, tasty fast fresh & healthy food made with locally sourced products on premises. Even the buns are house made. Healthy drink options & wonderful wellness products & books for sale too. Owners & staff are incredibly welcoming & nice. Can’t wait to go back!

Artisanal burgers, steak and other delicious food. Friendly waitstaff and nice décor. Tables al fresco when in season. There is a gorgeous hearth but it was not in use during this review. Ample parking out front.

Finally a clean, healthy place to get fast food! No seed oils, and their meat and ingredients are organic and come from small local farms. I have been waiting for a restaurant like this in the area and I’m so happy it finally exists! Food was incredible, and you don’t feel yucky or slow after because it’s such good quality and ingredients. Don’t walk here, run here. You won’t regret it.

Really good food, pleasant seating area and diligent service. Not terrifically expensive either. Shared a burger and a chicken sandwich along with fries. Relatively quick service although I could see it taking a little bit if they get busy. Burger was cooked pretty well and good quality. Ditto for chicken. I liked the purple slaw they used on the chicken sandwich. Nice vinegar zing. Tallow fries were good if not spectacular. They had an ice water dispenser on the counter which was really nice. I took that and my partner got some Harneys ice tea. I think this is a new place so it’s nice to see this sort of fast casual food making it to the northwest corner. Fast, simple, clean, reasonable prices and good service. A decent share of the existing local joints are good but far too many seem a bit grubby. On the other end of the spectrum are nice places that are too pricey or slow to make the regular rotation. Anyway, we both left full without being stuffed. Spent about $40 on two people. Definitely will be in the rotation here forward.

I just nearly crashed my car on the way home I was so ravenously attacking the fries. Best fries I've had ever, anywhere. fluffy on the inside crisp on the outside, perfect amount of salt. If my mouth could have an orgasm it did. the rest of the food is aweseome too, the smash burger is an easy 10/10, mushroom melt is bangin. and the pickled veg is actually quite nice and refeshing, cauliflower, green beans and carrots. Very fresh pickle, either they quick pickle the veg or they had just made a batch that day either way delicious. It was legit so good I had to write a reveiw as im sitting here eating it. Compared to some of the other options in Millerton this is a Freaking Dime!

The smash burger is the best in Dutchess County in my opinion. The tallow fries, delish! We had the dessert special, blueberry bread pudding with poppyseed crème anglaise…💥. The bone broth was a cozy treat on a cold day. Super kind staff, thoughtful service! It’s a farm to table fast food restaurant with ‘stay as long as you want’ type of vibe. The aesthetic is clean, chic, minimalist… good taste to go with good tastes. And not for nothing, even the music tracks were 90’s, 00’s, 10’s hits, prompting us to hum along while feasting. Pure bliss.

Place was pretty cool and very welcoming. Had a great ordering experience and food came out quick. The smashburger itself was pretty great, but unfortunately the bun was cold and seemingly not toasted or warm. I feel like a toasted/warm bun would have made the big difference. The fries however, probably the best I’ve ever had. Overall a great experience just wishing for a toasted bun!

I really wanted to give this place a 5 star review, but I just can't. I ordered the smash, the bird, and some tallow fries. The burger was just plain dry. I think the juices are all smashed out of it in the cooking process. Everything seemed to be lacking flavor. The tallow fries were soggy and greasy. I know everyone is different, but for me the tallow didn't sit too well and I burped for a good 6 hours tasting those fries over and over again. Things fried in vegetable oil sit much better with me. The guy working the counter was very friendly, the atmosphere was good, and the place was clean. Food presentation was good, but I wish it tasted as good as it looked.

This place has a lot of potential, but it’s still finding its footing. The staff is consistently friendly and welcoming, which honestly goes a long way and keeps me coming back. You can tell they care about the customer experience, even when things behind the scenes aren’t quite dialed in yet. The biggest issue is inconsistency with the food. On a good day, the burgers are really solid—juicy, well-seasoned, and worth the stop. On other visits, though, the quality just isn’t the same: overcooked patties, uneven seasoning, or sides that feel rushed. When you’re paying restaurant prices, you want to know what you’re getting each time. Unfortunately, the recent name change also adds a bit of confusion. The old name had recognition, and switching things up makes it feel like the restaurant is still trying to figure out its identity rather than building on what was already working. Overall, it’s a decent spot with friendly service and flashes of greatness. If they can lock in consistency and settle into a clear brand, this could easily become a local favorite. For now, it’s a solid but uneven experience. Still looking for the “wow” factor.
