I went there recently for the first time. Having lived in Cinci for 5 years and having seen great reviews I was super excited to visit. I ordered the 4 cheese mac and cheese and hand cut french fries. The menu said the mac and cheese would be creamy with a panko crust on top. The fries were supposed to have sea salt and Parmesan. What I ended up getting was some curly noodles with a very thin layer of sauce just on the noodles itself. It was not creamy at all. No real flavor. It was very bland. It says there were supposed to be 'spices' in it... I tasted no spices. This would have been okay if the sauce was thick and creamy. Extra sauce would have been a LOT better. There were a few dark brown panko flakes on top but not an actual 'crust' of panko. Granted the Mac and cheese was only $6.95 but I can get a cup of thick and creamy mac and cheese that is actually super tasty and very cheesy at Chick-Fil-A which is a lot better. The hand cut fries though cooked well had just a few tiny little specks of Parmesan on them. I thought Parmesan fries would mean like a noticeable dusting of parm. I didn't taste or see any salt on the fries. Smashburger has really good rosemary and parm fries where each fry is pretty much coated with parm cheese/rosemary. The atmosphere was a bit less than desired. Throughout my 25 minute wait for food I kept hearing people in the kitchen shouting. Not sure if it was the main head cook. I know about speaking loudly when orders are ready but really no need to shout and yell the whole time that you're working in a kitchen. Our table was right near the back kitchen entrance. My husband loved his blackened salmon sandwich though. read more

Last minute decision to try this place since it's close and we haven't been there since it was AJ's. Remodeled interior was charming and the deck was where we chose to be seated. Perfect atmosphere with the music streaming (not too loud) and plenty of seating in the shade if the sun was too much. Service was outstanding. We didn't want for anything and he checked back appropriately. We started with buffalo chicken dip...omg goodness. Even the chips were delicious. Light crisp with the perfect blend of salt. My husband ordered a bacon cheeseburger, medium. Cooked perfectly and he said one of the few he has had out that didn't require mayo or mustard. I ordered chicken wings, well done. Outstanding. Highly recommend and we will be back. Lovely afternoon there. read more

My salad and maple bacon salmon was pretty good, but my boyfriends maple bourbon pork chop wasn't the best. Actually it was very disappointing the taste was bland and the two sides (parm potatoes and green beans) had 0 flavor. We also ordered the goetta croquettes which were pretty good. Our service was mediocre. Nice lady but wasn't very attentive and seemed overwhelmed with her other tables. read more

I loveeeee Grove Park! The Brussel sprouts are to die for! I look forward to the next time we go back!

Waited almost an hour for my food and finally left without it. Ordered a salad thinking it would be quick but obviously wasn't. Fish sandwich there about 10 days ago very mediocre at best. Nice patio to hang out but only if you are not in a hurry. Probably won't go back. read more

Having dinner with my wife Marilyn and her twin Carolyn. Before the Elvis performance. Great time at Grove Park Grille read more

Salmon dip was lacking. Gnocchi was mushy. Steak salad had maybe 3oz of steak. Service was good.

I visited Grove Park Grille again tonight and am finally getting around to writing an overdue review. This place has an amazing patio with live music and great vibes. The inside is very modern but with old pictures of Anderson township hung around. We had a great conversation with the owners who couldn't be nicer! So as far as the food.... I really meant to take pictures, but it was so great we ate it before I had a chance. Oops. We ended up ordering fried green tomatoes, goetta balls, brussel sprouts, and BBQ pork sliders (they smoke the pork on site every night). Everything was so fantastic and on top of it all, we had the pleasure of meeting the awesome executive chef. I will be back ASAP because this place is absolutely crushing the local restaurant game! read more

Wow - what a fun time and great food! We sat at the bar - Katie was fantastic! We had a bottle of Mum & delicious tuna. They were really busy, but made it work - we were headed to see Chris Stapleton at Riverbend and it was an easy walk on a paved walkway from the restaurant to the venue! We would definitely eat here before a concert again! Thanks Katie!!! read more

This is a cute little scratch restaurant. I have to say for being a scratch kitchen the service was really fast! Overall, the food was great the deserts even better! The only reason I didn't go for 5 stars is because I thought it was a little overpriced. I would go back again. read more

Had a wonderful time at Grove Park Grille. Pat Wilson, the owner, and his staff promoted an atmosphere of fun and family. The food is great, especially the carrot cake. The portions are good and the taste is delicious. The huge deck is a great place for a cool summer evening. read more

Tried this place towards the end of summer. It was really good and we were surprised we had never been there before. Food was all amazing and so was the service. read more

The location was perfect for dinner before the show at Riverbend. But yet...not Even close to PERFECT! The place was NOT crowded. However, Very sad at the level of service and the poor quality of food. 45 minutes to receive our draft beers and to order our meal. 75 minutes before we received our meal and we made it clear that we were headed out the show next door! The manager took off part of our bill and comp'd our second round. However, he claimed that this never happens but problems were wide spread as he went from table to table. Seemed to have plenty of associates on staff for the evening but could not produce a tasty meal. Their food was hot and looked great but the taste was not good! Sadly, we will not recommend this place or return! read more

We really enjoy this place! They seem to care about using high quality ingredients and add some nice touches and updates to traditional dishes. Pro-tip: Get the Brussels Sprouts! We have yet to come here and not order them! read more

They have a friendly staff and are very helpful. I brought a group of about 25 for dinner and they helped us all along the way. Our servers were very personable and capable. read more

Foods good, service is good, nice atmosphere & reasonably priced. Love The Grove! Salmon BLT IS THE BOMB!

This was a last minute decision and I am glad we went. It was a busy. Good Friday night crowd. Live music but wasn't too loud. It was good for date night but also seemed family friendly. Great beer selection and cool cocktail offerings. The atmosphere is clean and bright. We started out with the goetta croquettes, fried green tomatoes and brussel sprouts. The croquettes were to die for! Like seriously just give me some toast maybe some red onion and those croquettes. Yum! My husband got the fish tacos. They had a great crunch and super fresh flavor. I got the Cuban pork sandwich. It had great flavor. The pork is cooked to perfection. I would suggest they press the sandwich to make it more authentic and easier to eat. I got the fries instead of the slaw. They were OK but a bit too salty for my preference. Our friends were happy with their choices a Portabella mushroom sandwich and the fish sandwich. Our waitress was nice. Super friendly and helpful with making decisions. She could have been better with providing flatware, and soft drink refills. Overall I really enjoyed this place. I can see us coming back when the weather warms up to experience their outdoor patio. read more

We have visited 3 or 4 times. Have enjoyed each time. Scallop dish perfectly cooked great combinations (even though second time size was cut almost in half). Husband is picky (Chef) and enjoyed the Geottta balls (?) Appetizer more than once. Nice to have a local option for good food, prices should be watched carefully for size and consistency to stick around. We will be back hopefully to enjoy the outside. read more

Server was terribly rude. Almost wanted to get up and leave in the middle of me placing my order. I was telling him what i wanted on my burger and he kept holding his hand up to shut me up and was getting mad that i wasnt doing the opposite and saying what i DIDNT want on my burger. He kecpt raising the tone of his voice and telling me i was ordering wrong. I was so confused an outright shocked. Sat for a good 20 minutes without drinks and it was hot hot hot! Nachos came as an appetizer and honestly looked like a dump on a plate if u know what i mean. Burger and the rest of the parties food was good. I just couldnt get past the sour behaviour of the server. Honestly, its very demeaning to have a man treat me the way i had to be treated by him in front of my kids we stopped another server to see if its something personal and he explained that we arent the only gueats to complain. Ive been in a few times but if his form of hospitality is excepted i will not be back and will continue to stray people away. I tipped very well. He has bills to pay. Just not good at his job read more

I checked this place out with my husband and our parents this weekend and was pleasantly surprised by how good the food was! The atmosphere was inviting and open and the staff was all very friendly. This was also the first time I'd used Yelp to make a reservation and it was such an easy process! I had the proper pork and beans. The pork was cooked perfectly with a crisp outside but a tender inside. When I think of baked beans I think of sweet, so I was surprised to find that they were savory. My husband, mom and mother in law all got the opened face pot roast sandwich. YUM! I don't even like pot roast and I could see myself getting this next time we go. My dad and father in law got the reuben and both said it was really good. I know it's a little off the beaten path, but do yourself a favor and check out this gem! read more

I want to love this place but I haven't been able to yet. The food is just ok or not good. I ordered pork loin that was over cooked. It was served with broccoli (that I suspect was from a frozen bag) that was so visually unappealing made me not want to try it . It looked like bad broccoli in a frozen dinner. The potato undercooked-not cooked through in the middle. On another visit I a cheeseburger and fries. The burger was over cooked but it was ok. The fries tasted old or something like that - just not good. The staff is friendly but not well trained. They seat you on top of each other even though there plenty of tables open. They do have a nice selection of beer and I felt for this kind of atmosphere it was kept up and pleasant. TV's everywhere if that's your thing but in fairness not intrusive. Basically this place is barely ok. read more

Great food, drinks, and service. Nice outdoor dining area. Try the brussel sprouts appetizer! The salads and flatbread choices are great

Great service, great food & drinks! Perfect location before Riverbend concert. Close to 275 and convenient to NKY.

Great local spot with high quality, simple menu and exceptional customer service. Indoor or our door seating on the river.

Delicious food friendly courteous service! Have been a few times and everything on the menu is yummy!

My wife and I visited Grove Park Grille last night. We showed up at 6pm and the fish special was 86x. My wife had to order flatbed pizza. She was so excited to eat Halibut. The food was good, but not Awesome! We were hoping for more. read more

What a fantastic meal! I took my wife on our anniversary at her request to the Grove Park Grille. Eaten there a couple times in the past and always had a great experience. While this time was no different, they really one-upped themselves when they found out it was our anniversary. It made what was already a special evening even more special. I love the convenience, the excellent food, the very friendly service, and now the management. And I'm always surprised about the quality of food for the price that you pay. Excellent food and extremely reasonable price read more

The food is really really good, great menu options very elegant presentation. The open concept and lighting brightness leave something to be desired. That have super outside dining area and plenty of parking. Super clean and tvs everywhere which gives it a bar and grill type of feel with a elegant food type menu Enjoy! read more

Incredible. It's a nicely designed restaurant with calming colors and everything! Incredible food! Just everything is perfect or real close to it. The best chocolate cake I've ever had, and I don't even like chocolate cake! The Coleman's Farm Chicken Salad is so good too! Just everything about was incredible. The chicken, the grilled lettuce, the corn, it all was cooked so well and blended perfectly. Very nice staff too, so sweet and very helpful. I'd love to go again! read more

Had dinner here on a Saturday night. The fact they take reservations is wonderful. the food was super, and our server was outstanding. The only hiccup we experienced was on our end - I left my credit card on the table. We returned to Columbus before I realized it was missing. The staff was great when contacted, and sent me the card overnight USPS. Wow! read more

Another nice cincinnati surprise. My wife has known about this place for years, but hasn't been here for about 8-years. A lot has changed. New menu, new patio, new interior. One thing I can say is that the food was very good. I had the Southwestern Shrimp Flatbread. It was super. Clack bean spread, corn, shrimp, cheese and guacamole with a touch of lime. Very tasty. Also had their house salad. Simple but good and fresh. Atmosphere was pleasant. Like a local joint. Very friendly and prompt service. I definitely recommend this to couples or families. read more

Grove Park Grille - Great backyard patio. - American Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Had dinner here Friday night and was very pleased to find another tasty local option. Service was enthusiastic and efficient. My Cuban sandwich was delicious and the half I brought home was even tastier the next day. My husband had the James Parker Burger, which has a patty made from chuck, brisket and short rib, topped with red peppers, goat cheese and tomato-onion jam. He's a very picky burger guy and said this one shot to his shortlist of great local burgers. Good selection of beer and wine. Only bum note - the martini was very tiny for $7. We will be back. read more

Great food, close to Riverbend & Coney, fast service, very friendly. Cincy favorite appetizers like goetta croquettes--excellent!

3.5- went for Happy Hour / dinner with coworkers. The bartender was snarky - which I appreciated and threw right back to him. The portions were huge. Everyone took home leftovers. Also, I think Wednesday is 1/2 price wine bottles. read more

Burgers came out Burnt. Returned to kitchen and second batch much better but still a lot of grizzle. Someone trying to cook too fast over flame. A side of fried was $7.95!!! OUCH! Three people, three sandwiches and three iced teas was $67.00 before tip. NOT a good experience. Server was kind and apologetic. not her fault. read more

Great reno. The place is unrecognizable as AJ's. It is well appointed, but casual. The deck is great and the exterior bar is fun. The food was very good. Great burger and calamari. The flatbreads were also great. Our waitress was very attentive. I hope the good service and food continues and it becomes a great Anderson hangout. read more
