Just moved to town just a little over a month ago and decided to check this place out…read more First off the owner Bart is a real kind and down to earth fella. Really nails that small town vibe. One of the Bartenders, Jennifer is a real sweet gal and she works hard to make sure everyone is taken care of. I wasn't planning to eat but the feller sitting next to me ordered a good looking burger, but I was feeling chicken so I tried the blackened chicken sandwich and by golly it was sure fantastic. The tater tots are seasoned up real well and the chicken was full of flavor, layered with bacon. The bar itself is clean, well organized, with plenty of space. The stage hosted a man with a guitar that evening and he put on quite a show. Dart board upstairs is a fine addition . This is a smaller town watering hole done right. A great place to wind down after a long work week.

We went there as a group and ordered grilled cheese from the kids menu for the little ones. The food came out maybe an hour later and it literally looked like they just put slices of cheese on bread. No grill. Nothing. The best part was when I went to the bar area to ask them to actually grill it..... a RAT ran under my feet and quickly ran behind the bar. It was unbelievable.

It wasn't her fault but her birthday was on a Wednesday and several of our stops before Gryffs were lackluster. Many many thanks to Emily our server- she truly made the experience. She brought our birthday girl a sparkly birthday shot right away and made sure our glasses never went empty and even kindly reminded us to drink our water. Our drinks were great and snacks were good too!

Went there for taco Tuesday. Don't bother. I know it's just a throw away taco I get it, but…read moreseriously terrible. I got the chicken which was extremely greasy - my shell fell apart as soon as I took a bite and it was sitting in a pool of grease. But that flavor was AWFUL. I think they are trying to be bougie or something with the cinnamon style flavoring and the Cole slaw style "lettuce" but the radicchio I pulled out was half the size of the taco itself. Not to mention the soggy tomato that they topped the "taco" with - yea - it was just soggy tomato. And whatever. The waitress could care less that I didn't like it - didn't ask why or apologize or take it off our bill (which I also kinda get) but still-if they would've ate the $5 - there probably wouldn't have been this review. Sorry. Not sorry. I am broke and was trying to treat myself and regretted it. Anyway. 10/10 Do not recommend.

August 13, 2025: My wife and I had been on the road all day, got a hotel in Cottage Grove, and…read morebegan browsing for food. We just needed "something to eat", so we settled on The Grove. The outside and even the front entry give the vibe of a "hole in the wall" so we were prepared to simply fill our stomachs, especially since we arrived "after the grill was closed" which in this case simply meant that the head cook had left. But a very, very pleasant hostess assured us everything on the menu was still up for grabs. We sat down in the front cafe, which has that feeling of a place that's been around since the 1970's and only occasionally renovated. Given my fifty years of restaurant experience, I was still in the mindset of being content just to have something to eat, so long as it was edible. My wife and I both were blown away. I forget what she had but it was "the best one she had ever had", and my barbeque sandwich was absolutely delicious. The crinkle-cut fries were hot, just crispy enough. Our expectations were exceeded by a mile, and it wiped away any preconceived notions I may have had by looking at the restaurant's physical presence. Our hostess, name forgotten but I hope she remembers being on duty on Wednesday the 13th and making our night, was always smiling, always gracious; and despite her having to attend to the back of the restaurant where the bar was located, she never left us hanging. The icing on the cake was the price! A comparable BBQ-and-fries anywhere in my hometown of Redmond, OR, is easily 17 bucks these days. My meal at The Grove was $12.99, a solid four dollars less expensive and yet still superb, everything I like in a BBQ sandwich and fries. Obviously I cannot speak to the daytime staff, or the barroom experience, but my wife and I left extremely happy and satisfied, and if we ever pass through Cottage Grove again, The Grove will be our first choice for grabbing a meal.

We showed up as a group of seven and in no time had put together several options for us, never had that kind of reception before. The staff were completely familiar with the menu and options and even offered alternatives. Overall we found this to be a very friendly environment in a comfortable down home way. Right off of Interstate 5, easy to find, plenty of parking and plenty of tables. I opted for the Philly cheesesteak with fries. It was done exactly the way it is supposed to be done with all the ingredients marrying together to make the perfect sandwich. Others in my group had breakfast plates, taco salad which was huge, various egg dishes... everyone enjoyed their meals. They made our family get-together a very nice experience.
