Big B's Delicious Orchards U-pick, Cafe & Tasting Room - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Exceeded my expectations in so many ways. Enjoyed delicious sandwiches outside in the shade.

Had a terrible experience here yesterday, 8/31/2024… my boyfriend was so excited to take me here, we drove two hours to get there. Subpar food, chaotic environment and bad service was the result. We got there at 2, placed our order and had to tip before we got served which is always a toss-up. We went to the bar to get our drinks and had to tell the bartender what we ordered even though there was a computer that should have told them. We got a buzzer to let us know when our food was ready, but after forty minutes and others getting their food before us who had gotten there after us, we went up to ask if there was something wrong. “Your order is coming out next” but after five more people getting their order next, that clearly wasn’t the case. After an hour we finally got our food (our buzzer never vibrated, they just called out the name and placed the food on the counter.) I believe they gave out someone else our food but never admitted to that, if they had just admitted to making a mistake we would not have been as disappointed as we are with this establishment. There was no explanation or apology to our extremely long wait. We saw a man get there and get his food within ten minutes. “It depends what you get” was what we were told. I ordered a pulled pork sandwich which tasted like it was freezer burnt and just plopped on the sandwich with bbq sauce sprayed on, and my boyfriend got a cold sandwich, so I’m not sure what could have taken a whole hour. The atmosphere was chaotic, kids approaching my dogs without their parents, swinging on the swings without supervision and falling off (there’s a sign that says if you die it’s not their fault so keep that in mind!) and multiple unleashed dogs wandering around also approaching everyone trying to eat. There was no live music on the stage on Labor Day weekend but there was a DJ blasting terrible sounding EDM music from a nearby field which was loud, awful and off putting . And I love EDM. If they had admitted to giving our food to someone else and maybe comping something, we would have been happier but there was no explanation or apology whatsoever. We were going to buy a six pack of their seltzer but didn’t want to give them any more money so we just left. After, we went to Qutori Winery up the road which was much better service, food and a lovely atmosphere and somewhere I would have much rather gone and spent money had I known what a crapshow this place was. Truly a chaotic mess, bad food, and a racket that you have to tip before you even know how the service will be. Go elsewhere.

Cool spot, we came along for the Shakey gig. Couple confusions re. camping (just a comms misunderstanding) but resolved quickly by friendly host. Gig was great, however massive lines for drinks due the token system, and nothing but cider on offer - I understand it’s a cidery but for an event like that, maybe a couple of local beers or similar as another option might be cool (for uncultured folk like me). Overall a good time, thanks for a neat experience!

Store and restaurant in one. This comfortable and local favorite does not disappoint.

Delicious food and drinks. Great place for families with kids Will definitely return

A real happening farm and idyllic place to hang. We need more businesses like this! A must visit anytime going through Paonia. Get the BLT in the cafe, and the marinated feta from the farm store if they have it.

Went on a Friday in the summer- perfect evening experience with live music, cider, and yummy food.

Went to pick up some peaches. Wasn’t impressed with the place. Inside homemade jelly and jam. Outside you had to pick your own fruit. The sign indicated the peaches were ripe and ready to pick which couldn’t be further from what we saw. Wouldn’t recommend.

This was such a great place to visit/stay. Relaxing environment, great camping spots, great concert, and the food was delicious.

Stopped by for a quick bite. Tried the brisket sandwich with fries which was very good. We picked up some jam and honey and took a walk in the orchard. Cool little place!

A very relaxing place. The food was very good. There is water to fill your RV and about a dozen spaces with electric. There is no dump station but a campground about 5 miles away lets you dump for a fee. Friday and Saturday nights in summer have music. There is a pick your own orchard or if you are like me a pick your own store! Everything fresh and delicious.

This place is amazing. Great cider+juices, beautiful orchards to walk around (and camp in!), very friendly staff, awesome hangout for adults and kids alike, and if you're lucky enough to catch a live concert here, you're in for a treat.

So it's a cool place. Nothing extra ordinary but they have an orchard and sell cider and have rope swings for kids.

Great cider! fun to walk through the orchard and pick fruit. Outdoor seating is nice with fun swings and good music

Delightful! We did U pick apricots and lunch. The rope swings were my favorite. We want to come back to camp for a concert.

My neighbor just recently came back from Colorado and gave me a jug of lemonade it is good. recomend

We camped at Crawford State Park and had lunch there with the entire family. We had so much fun, we went back 2 days later! Cider was so tasty that we bought a growler to take back to camp. Highly recommend of your in the area.

Great food, nice little store, unique spot to camp and enjoy live music in their shady patio area.

This is truly a must-see Colorado stop near Paonia. It’s a unique and inviting place that has a restaurant, shop, and orchard. The food was delicious! I ordered the burrito bowl, which had great flavor combinations and a fulfilling portion size. There was a small band setting up outdoors for some live music, but we unfortunately couldn’t stay around for that. My family and I were so glad that we spent time here.

Counter service, with "pager" notifications for when food is ready. Good selection of hot and cold sandwiches, and some nice Mexican dishes. Picnic benches and metal patio tables in a tree-shaded area next to rope swings. Extensive music program on an outdoor stage - see web site for schedule. Also camping around a large pond, or in the apple orchard.

Do not miss this place if you're near here. The food is delicious, the place is a fun area to be in and the rope swings are a blast for young and old alike. Order your food at the same place you would checkout the other items in the store. They give you a beeper that notifies you when the food is ready. Decent portions and price. We came during cherry season and boy they are the best cherries I've had in a long time!

Great place for concerts and ciders. Good food. The employees could be a little nicer. When calling, no one ever answers the phone, and they never answer emails either.

Burrito bowl was good. Huge portions. Good item to share!

Absolute BEST vibe! Highly recommend this place.

I was here for camping for the weekend and had a great time time! The campsites are spread throughout their beautiful orchard. The live music and “yard games” are great for everyone to hangout while having some Big B’s spiced or hard cider. Who could hate a place like this?!?!

Cannot wait to come back, Loved the atmosphere and such a wonderful area. Great food too. Definitely recommend!!!

Pretty peaceful environment. Cider and food taste good!

Food is phenomenal and the cider is excellent. Great market of local items. Glad we stopped by

Friendly service and a chill place to eat and or enjoy a hard cider. My friends recommended it and we enjoyed it very much. Update 2024: We visited again recently and I just wanted to share that the food remains delicious. The staff is friendly and prompt. A great atmosphere and one of my favorite places in the entire state. They put a lot of work and care into this place and you can taste the quality while having fun.

Camping check in was not clear. They need more staff and better organization for the store/cafe/ice cream/bar area. Otherwise the food is amazing!!! We camped Friday June 28 and checked out Monday July 1st. If you choose the Apricot area to camp definitely have a canopy as the sun is intense! They have rope swings which my 3 and 1/2 year old loved and we couldn’t get him off. The band Friday was great!

I was looking at the spicy Cherry cider since it's cherry season but they were out. 😕 I settled for the blackberry Serrano which was pretty good. I still would have preferred the cherry. Nice place, cool outdoor area.

Not the person to usually rate a restaurant, but I thought I would share the food was amazing! The atmosphere was very chill and welcoming. Only issue was the young girl taking our order. She was very unkind and unwelcoming. It was very unnerving the way she was treating my group. We asked what kinds of alcohol they had and she told us flatly they do not have alcohol. Only cider…..( they do serve hard cider and that has alcohol in it. She just didn’t want to help us. When asked if they have any other drinks she was very short did not want to help us. We even asked if she was having a bad day and she replied flatly no. She rolled her eyes when we asked for a recipe.she was moving her hands iratically like we were annoying her or other things. We noticed the manager and she was very kind and helped us resolve the issue. If it wasn’t for the manager I would say not to go here because of the interaction with the worker but the manager was so kind to us. She was great and handled the situation professionally. And because of her i would go back!

One star knocked down because camping is wayyyy too expensive for what you get. Our site was nothing but a glorified mud pit in an open field. Been to Big B’s several times, vibe is great. Definitely a family-oriented spot where kids are running around feral. If you hate kids or think kids should be leashed and under 100% adult supervision, you’ll hate this place. If kids don’t bother you or you want yours to explore the world without you hovering over them every second, this is a great spot!

It took over an hour to get 2 BLT and a brisket sandwich. The restaurant was not busy. The food was okay. In the future we will only stop for the hand picked cherries.

Great place to stop on the way to western slope! Atmosphere was really laid back, cider was fantastic! Don't skip it!

The perfect place to stop, have a cider and let the kids play on a Colorado road trip!

Great place! I wish they served soda. We will be back.

Burger was delicious!!! The outside seating area is so cute and it’s perfect weather outside right now too. Excited to come on a Friday for the summer music series. Ciders are delicious as well!

Easily the best overall place in Paonia/Hotchkiss area. Definitely the most consumer-centric restaurant. The food is consistent and really great. The atmosphere makes you want to stay. Its always clean and well kept. I feel welcome and even at home here. The people are the best! They always have music, camping, and other fun things to do. And while this may seem simple, its sooooo important around here.....THEY ACTUALLY MAINTAIN THEIR HOURS OF OPERATION! 🤣 One of the few places you can rely on to be open when they say they will be open.

A few times a year, we take the scenic drive over McClure Pass and the Grand Mesa. We always stop at Big B's. The hard ciders are amazing, and we love the live music and family and pet friendly atmosphere.

Such a beautiful place! Everyone is so welcoming and they host some great events here!

This place is truly magical, beautiful, welcoming, and provides excellent meals with the added bonus of incredible live music! Kids swing for hours under the supportive cottonwood trees, friendly dogs play in the fields, happy families pick fruit and camp in the gorgeous orchard, and folks dance and sway to the fun music. They've even added a SUP pond. I tell everyone I know that they should find a band they'd like to see and head over for a Friday night of free music. The food is delicious. My meat-eating husband loves all of their options, and I find great gluten-free vegetarian choices that I crave. They also give back to locsl non-profits. This is how a community thrives. Come camp and explore all of the fun options the North Fork Valley has to offer. You'll likely be very happy to explore this heartfelt, fabulous place! Thanks Jeff and crew. We love you Big Bs family!

Great agri-tourism orchard with yummy cider, great free music lineups through the summer and a peaceful setting

The band was fantastic and place was so fun. Thank you...

What an incredible experience!! While planning my summer motorcycle tour I looked for places to stay near Paonia, CO. I know of the small town because I've visited before to check out a specific brewery there... and wanted a repeat visit. I stumbled onto Big B's just by searching for campsites on google maps and boy am I glad I did. First of all where else could you camp right in the middle of a fruit orchard? It's so cool!! I pretty much thought that this was a novelty thing but oh how wrong was I. As soon as I got in and set up camp I headed to the cafe for some cider and dinner. The band had just finished setting up and is playing their first set. I spent the rest of the night just hanging out there, listening to the band and soaking up all of the CO summer vibes. It was a magical night. Anyway I'm coming back this summer in August :D

Awesome food, service, and atmosphere.

Great staff, friendly and helpful.,

Newly revamped! Good food, good music, and a fun family friendly atmosphere. Plus, there's camping!

I now, more than ever before, love ciders. Big B's was easy to access, had lots of parking, was clearly signed, and had both indoor and outdoor seating options. The service was approachable, knowledgeable, and very timely and efficient. The selection of food was healthful, flavorful, and diverse enough to cater to a large swath of palates. The ambience was great. Industrial, cozy, clean, and provided for a diversity of group sizes. The ciders were a hit. I will not say what I tasted, but I will say they were probably some of the best I have had. I only wish I had more time to taste more of the options. I also wish I had tried some of the ice-cream. I encourage you to carve out two hours for fun, family, food, and fantastic ciders.

My family and I love this place. Highly recommend

I came here with a friend last summer and tried some of the ciders and walked the orchard. Great place with good food good cider and a variety of local products to choose from! I’ll be coming back every time I’m here for a visit!

Staff is super friendly and welcoming. They are knowledgeable about products served and will offer a sample upon request on some items. I am visiting from out of state and this must be a stop if passing through or if you are staying in or near town. I recommend anyone looking for quality service of goods and services to check out this amazing atmosphere. Thank you so much to your team of professionals. I shall return!

This place is fantastic. My kid had a fantastic time lots of activities from jumbo legos, absurd rope swings and solid food and cider options to keep you comfortable. Come with a group and camp out and chill. Inner field is the best camping option.

Great lunch menu. Sandwiches are outstanding.

I haven’t been there, but I buy their delicious cider every fall at my local King Soopers. Do not miss this fabulous organic fall treat, hot or cold!

We almost didn’t camp here overnight (we were meant to stay near Aspen) but so glad we did! RV camping here is like a Harvest Host on steroids! A beautiful big field to park in, a great country store/restaurant, delicious cider, and live music. Lovely walks with our doggie through the orchards in the evening. Quite the vibe going on over here at Big B’s. Sad we ‘just’ missed the annual cider festival next weekend.

Good heavens, God bless. Incredible place, you’ve got to love and support what they are doing here. “Well, what is it they are doing here exactly, Nate?” Oh, regularly hosting fun, festive gatherings on the farm featuring live music, weird dancing, apples, campers, and a wide variety of killer eats and ciders and Lord knows what other delectables. Just wish I’d have got to know her more better. I mean, I was bout ready to jump on board and join the team. Peed in the orchard, hope that helps. Irrigation Specialist, that could be my title?

Fun experience here, everyone in our party really enjoyed themselves. The ciders were great.

Wspaniałe miejsce, lokalny smaczek, lokalne jedzenie i drinki, plac zabaw dla dzieci. Ceny przystępne, mila obsługa. Polecamy!!!

Awesome orchard we had a blast.

Stopped here for lunch on our way to Moab from Crested Butte. Busy busy at Lunch. Lots of people. It was a Monday, and they were out of several of our first choices. Chocked it up to a busy weekend, and just waiting to restock. I went with a pulled pork sandwich, and onion rings. Glad I did!! A very generous portion of very tasty BBQ pork on a toasted roll. Onion rings were some of the best I have ever had. Crispy, and at all greasy. Cole slaw was good too. Worth the stop👍🏻👍🏻!!

Great food and an enormous amount of great cider on tap made from apples in the orchards behind the place you're eating. Great experience. Highly recommended

Fun place for music. Event menu omits some of the favorites

Two sandwiches and 3 drinks, $42.

Spent a weekend camping here and for an event and didn’t leave once! Had everything we needed and was a great place to be.

The people here at least while we visited where awful, rude. The food tasted stale. Strange atmosphere. My grandson liked the swings but that’s it. Won’t be back. It’s a long drive to watch a kid on a swing and not enjoy anything else. Over priced as well.

The most relaxing place to sit, eat, drink and people watch. Kids and adults swinging on the tree swings! A dog friendly place. great food wine and ciders. In season you can pick fruit from their orchards. Family friendly.

We had a great time. Loved the variety of foods you can pick yourself, and their hard cider is phenomenal. Only downside was poor communication as to where things were - too few or missing labels, hard to follow maps, no path names, and the posted instructions as to HOW, WHERE, and WHAT to gather were unclear, along with WHAT to do with produce once picked

Driven by 100 times but finally went Amazing place. Food drink fruit and veggies live music. Bring the kids then lose them in the orchard while you enjoy a cider! Just kidding don't abandon children here😶

This was my favorite stop through about a dozen wineries, breweries, and distilleries in western Colorado. The business had a very welcoming, open atmosphere that instantly made you curious as to what products they offered. There was such depth and variety to their ciders that I began pairing in my head when and with what I'd prefer to drink each type. My sister and I purchased a room temperature sampler pack to take back to our mom.

Atmosphere was great and has been for a long time.

Food took awhile and the order wasn't quite right at first but quickly corrected and worth the wait. Nice outside place to eat. We'll be back.

Try the Cherry Hard Cider! 🍒 excellent! Oh, consider sharing the Smothered Burrito! I'm pretty sure it weighs out at 2lbs! It's fantastic!

Just what was needed after a long day. Very laid back vibe and good food. I highly recommend the jalapeño cider if you like spicy things.

Big Bs is the reason my partner and I continue to visit Paonia and nearby towns. Friday and Saturday nights are the best with free live music! Donations for various organizations are encouraged at the parking lot and the people are always so kind. Kids are having the best time running around and swinging on the 4 giant tree swings they have (so parents can have some fun watching the band). The matcha mint lemonade is amazing; I can’t find it anywhere back home. Oh, and the peach cider they currently have is INSANELY good.

This place is an experience! I came here for Big Bs first wedding, just about everyone decided we wanted to move in by the end of the weekend. There's an abundance of good food and good times. Thank you Big Bs for having having us! Next time we might stay for the whole summer.

Great spot for food and cider under the trees. Kids and adults can swing on the large trees wing and wander in the orchard. We stop by eveytime we are in the area.

Absolutely rad place. Visited and camped for a wedding weekend, but will definitely return in the future. Delicious food and ciders in addition to beautiful grounds, fruit picking, live music, and more

What an amazing find!! Unbelievable setting l, delicious food and great service. So happy we found this while traveling. We will make it a point to come back when we’re in the area. Shout out to Chandra and Kleya :)

Wonderful place to stop for lunch! Wouldn't typically go here looking for good BBQ pork and brisket, but oh boy! They know how to smoke and cook up their meats. Great family atmosphere and the staff are vert friendly and helpful.

They had very little packable fruits and veggies.

Great market with fresh local produce, camping spots, live music, aches of orchards to walk through. A must see 😍

Big B's is something special. The orchard is beautiful and so peaceful, everyone is incredibly friendly. This place is definitely worth a visit. The music performances are so fun, the drinks are amazing.

I love this place! They have the best food, live music, and of course, delicious cider on tap. All organic and locally sourced foods. Plus you can camp overnight in the orchards. Perfect spot to watch live music and spend the night under the stars.

Cutest little pit-stop in the middle of nowhere. We will stop by for lunch and a case of hard cider anytime we are in the area. Love this place!

Such a fun weekend camping at the orchard! Beautiful location, great walking paths throughout the fruit trees and vines. The atmosphere and entertainment at night are excellent - live bands, dancing, and a great time for both the adults and kids. Plus the cafe and local ciders and juices are fantastic. It’s worth the trip here, were definitely planning to come back for another weekend

I love This venue. It really has become an amazing place in the north fork. I have watched it grow I’ve the last 10 years and it just keeps getting better. The staff is amazing the atmosphere is too notch. Great camping and family vibes.

So much fun!! We spent the day here swinging, eating, picking fruit, relaxing in the shade and escaping the heat. Great place for familes and dog friendly. Very shady with cool breezes for the hot summer months. A bit pricey but worth it.

Worth a detour! I had been here 6 years ago and we were able to find it again for lunch. Great food and amazing shaded garden. The swings under the trees are a fun bonus. Best lunch stop of the trip.

Live music in an outdoor setting in the summer. Fun place for kids, with plenty of room to run and big swings off the hill. Great menu and drinks. Also, local grown fruits and local brews and wine.

We stayed here for two days and had a wonderful time. We came in cherry season, and I highly recommend the sour cherry hard cider when it's available. Great staff, great guests, and the kids loved the swings.

You order at a counter and receive a text when the food is ready. Great, fresh sandwiches that we ate outside in the cool shade on a hot day.

This place was so much fun, a MUST visit if you’re in the area! Delicious, fresh food and ciders (we loved the Blackberry & Grapefruit lemonade ciders) They have a huge shaded patio/outdoor space great for dogs, and would be so much fun for U-Picking! Gorgeous views and friendly staff, we also bought a ton of goodies from their local market

Had a great time camping here while we was there Cherry days Paonia

Live music, floating in the pond, great camping sites, great food & farm fresh foods

I enjoy this place so much! I love sharing it with friends and family that visit. Truly something special ♡

This is a Colorado hidden gem. This was our second time camping at Big B's, check it out next time you are looking for a camping spot - amazing views, fun atmosphere, live music, locally sourced foods and produce, delicious cider, and dog friendly. The staff are so friendly and they make sure guests have a great experience.

Nice place to eat outside. 😋 friendly staff and clean.

What a hidden gem! We discovered the place while looking on an app for a campground. They allow you to dry camp either in the orchards or by the ponds depending on your rig size. The ciders are delicious, especially the Cherry Daze cider. The food is organic and fresh and so good. We stayed for 3 nights and ate each day at the restaurant. They have cool merchandise and interesting finds at their little store. We got farm fresh eggs, mini cheesecakes, and ginger apple juice. Live bands played on Fri and Sat and the place was packed. The vibe is absolutely perfect here!! The tree swings are indeed epic and so fun for kids and adults. We can't wait to go back again! We would've stayed longer if they'd had a hookup campsite. We met awesome folks all weekend at the campground and at the restaurant. Go, you won't regret it!

This was the best part of my trip through Colorado! From the atmosphere, selection, and service. Just the best place! Looking forward to going back as often as I can!
