Big Four Cafe

In my opinion, this is one of the best places to eat in the area. Casual and family friendly environment suited for any groups. We ordered the sloppy James with fries and the beef cheesesteak sandwich with onion rings. We also had water and coffee. The coffee was OK.Let me start by saying the portions are large and well worth the money spent. The sloppy James is quite good and I heard it's quickly becoming one of the more popular things on the menu. You definitely want to be hungry though because the sandwich is equivalent to 2 regular size sandwiches. It's not the rich, old school tomatoey sloppy Joe you may remember. It is full of flavor and topped with cheese. The fries are average and on the thinner side (NOT shoestring). The cheesesteak is also huge! Best cheesesteak I've had in the tristate area, in fact. Loaded with beef, onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms. I opted for mayo on mine as well. The steak wasn't super chewy and no hard gristle pieces, which was terrific!!! The onion rings were made with red onions, and honestly, the best I've ever had. I'm an onion ring snob! Just a hint of sweetness, with the most perfectly delicate and crisp batter. I do recommend calling ahead to check if a reservation is needed, as they were hopping with business and I think we lucked out getting a table!

Nice when you want something a little different than the standard fare. Service is usually good. Price is fair as well. Not a large space so can be a wait sometimes.

Good Friendly PlaceI met some old friends here for lunch and conversation. Could not have been more prefect. The food was delicious, and the onion rings were fabulous! Definitely worth finding this place in Batesville! We will be back!

Went on a Sunday morning and service was excellent. Got seated right away and enjoyed a delicious mimosa and breakfast burrito. Food was fresh, large portion, and relaxed atmosphere. Staff was attentive and helpful. Other drink options included bloody Mary's, wine, beer and specialty coffee. Wonderful restaurant and already planning my next visit.

What a gem of a cafe, hidden inside a remodeled old furniture factory.The service here was impeccable. The food tasty and fresh. $70 fed six of us, not a bad value for breakfast. The pancakes are huge! Chicken and waffles were very tasty. But the best dish is the breakfast quesadilla. 12.99 and loaded with meat and more. So damn tasty. This is a destination restaurant, not just a place to eat when your in the area. Note: reservations are highly recommended.

I'll start this off with saying if your thinking about going here for breakfast, call now for a reservation as odd as that may seem. They seat reservations first and it seems to be their preference. We were asked if we had one and felt as in inconvenience because we didn't. There was 7 tables with a reserved sign on the whole time we were there. It seemed so odd to me considering it's a small breakfast place, you'd think you'd want to take care of those who came to eat. The food was pretty good for breakfast. We all very much enjoyed the gravy. The sausage was a bit off looking as if they stuff it themselves or something. Our waiter was great and very tentative during our visit which was great. He made sure to not let our drinks go empty which is always appreciated!

Food is great, service is wonderful, and a very nice / comfortable place. Didn't have time to take pictures because we enjoyed it so much! This is my second time and I loved it all over again!

The Big Four is a treasure in Batesville, Indiana. Casual atmosphere with an upscale menu. It's a little pricey but totally worth it. The potato hash (deep fried cubed potatoes that go on the flat top with red onion and green peppers which are optional) is hands down the best breakfast potatoes I've ever had. My husband had an omelet with eggs, sausage, spinach and Brie and he loved it. Service was quick and attentive. We'll definitely come again next time we're passing through.

Great Service and Excellent Breakfast. While traveling through eastern Indiana we were looking for small non chain restaurant. Reservations are not needed but recommended during peak times. 2 TNT Thumbs Up

Ordered soup n salad combo. Salad was fresh with romaine, tomatoes, red onion, balsamic vinegar. Soup I ordered was Texas chili. While it was labeled as spicy, I did not find it spicy at all.The salad was good, but boring. It could have used a little something extra to make it special... like sunflower seeds or radishes. There was a lot of red onion on the salad so I scooped it off and put it on top of the chili because it was a good fit there. The chili was made with ground beef and black beans and had nice flavor The red onions I took from the salad went well with the cheese and jalapeños topping the chili, the soup and salad combo came with crackers, which was nice.Great atmosphere in a converted historic industrial bldg. Good service, staff attentive and friendly. Clean bathroom.
