Where Traditions are as Important as Trends

Big Whiskey’s American Restaurant & Bar is quickly becoming one of the most sought after restaurant franchises in America. And for good reason!

In the 10 years since we opened our first casual dining restaurant in downtown Springfield MO, we’ve built a loyal following by offering excellent food & drinks that are moderately priced and served by well-trained, friendly people in a fun, relaxed atmosphere.

How is that different than other franchise restaurants? By working for other national chains, our founders realized they could offer better food, bigger portions and lower prices all in an atmosphere that truly makes a guest feel welcome.  

We celebrate sports but we’re not a sports bar.  We celebrate our excellent bar products, but we’re not a bar. We’re a restaurant that does all that with a strong net revenue percentage proven year after year.

We now have 5 restaurants operating successfully in the relatively small market of Springfield MO. We’ll open our 6th unit in Kansas City and franchises in Bentonville AR and Kansas City by late 2016/early 2017.

“After researching a number of franchise opportunities we decided to go with Big Whiskey’s rather than a more established chain. Why? We believe in the concept, their numbers are solid and the company has the right attitude when it comes to supporting its franchisees. They have proven, professional systems in place and they treat us as part of their family, not just another business deal.”
—Ed House, Kansas City Franchisee
