Craft burgers forged with intention, a beer list that moves as fast as the jukebox, and a backyard atmosphere that feels like home every single visit.
Big Ed's Backyard Bar & Grill started as a simple idea: build a place where the beer is cold, the food is honest, and nobody's keeping score at the door. That was years ago. Today, it's still the same place โ just with more regulars, better stories, and a jukebox that never runs empty.
We don't do pretentious. We don't do rushed. We do proper burgers, a rotating selection of local and regional craft beers, live music that actually sounds good, and the kind of atmosphere where you leave feeling like you just spent an evening at a friend's house โ except the drinks are free-flowing and the food's better.
Wood-paneled walls, neon signs that hum just right, and a patio that catches the evening breeze. Big Ed's isn't a destination โ it's a feeling. The kind of place where strangers become regulars and regulars become family.
Open-air seating with string lights, perfect for summer nights and cold beers.
Handcrafted cocktails, endless draft taps, and a bartender who knows your name.
Local bands, open mic nights, and live music that fills every corner of the room.
"Best burgers in Prentiss, hands down. The atmosphere is unmatched โ feels like walking into someone's awesome backyard, except the drinks are better and the food's free."
"Came in for a quick drink, stayed for three hours. The live music was incredible, the bartender remembered my order by the second visit, and I've been back every Friday since."
"Held my brother's bachelor party here and Big Ed's made it unforgettable. Private area, great food, and they handled everything like pros. Can't recommend enough."
We're easy to find, hard to leave. Park out front, walk in, and let us take care of the rest.
