    Juicy baby~
    Mark L.

    We were going to try and last till dinner but around 2 my buddy was starving so we headed out south toward Taunton. We wanted to try a new place and after a quick search settled on Grove Street Tavern in Taunton. Its a straight shot down Bay Rd or 138. I know the neighborhood a bit and while the area is dated, it's not bad at all. This is a city like Brockton with multifamily homes bunched together but it's totally safe, it's not like straight downtown. The restaurant is ground floor and seems like there are residents on the second floor. Guess you get used to the noise and the aromas. First, before I offer up a couple of negatives let me say that we were the only people there for a while which made me pause but it was beautiful Saturday summer afternoon and its now 3 and the deadest of times. We wanted to try a few things that stand as benchmarks so first in was a Hamburg pizza which came out beautifully cooked with a firm and buttery crisp underside and the crust was perfect. I think it needs a bit more sauciness but that's me. It still qualified as an A rated bar pizza and at 13 bucks no problem. My buddy brought one home a 30-minute drive and he said it didn't travel that well.. OH Well. Wings were next and this was disappointing. I understand that food costs more now, everything does but 4 drums and 4 flats are overpriced at 13 bucks c'mon man. And they were average, very nice BBQ sauce for sure, with a bit of crisp on the ends for a mild mow but definitely not a wow. I'm sorry as I don't want to be a jerk and seem like a cheap prick so I didn't ask but if I knew I was getting a whole wing (drum and flat) for $3.50 I would pass. Third up was the main meal which we split. Steak tips cooked medium. Real nice juicy tips estimated at a pound's worth for 23 bucks. About right. We both like good mashed and got a double. We both loved them, a cross between scalloped and as they got cooler potato salad sans mayo. Excellent and unique. A bit of a bummer in that the nice gal server asked if we wanted mushroom and peppers with the plate. I said sure on the side, and we got a full side portion in a bowl and were charged 4 bucks. My bad I should have asked if there was a charge or she should have told me, that's how tabs get jacked. I just figured it was something that comes in a little cup like coleslaw or something. His coke was $4 but refillable. I suggest $2.85 and $1 for refill if wanted. I got water and after a taste of Taunton's finest muni, I squeezed the lemon hard. By the way the burgers are probably bomb but a pass at 15 just not going there without reassurance that they are in fact bomb. Straight out homey type neighborhood joint with seemingly hundreds of cop patches adorning the walls, and a very cool poster collage of concert tickets, Dead and Allman heavy from the late 90's to early 2000's including many shows that I too went to as well. In summation I would come back for pizza and if it were a bit later beer. With tip we were at 94 bucks - 2 pizzas, order wings, the tips with the grilled veg bowl and a coke. A bit much and that seems to be a prevalent sentiment. Just got to know what you're doing here and you'll do fine.

    Sausage and peppers pizza on 2nd visit

    Oh yeah, I recommend the Grove Street Tavern. The two bar pizzas we ordered were incredible. Came out of the oven piping hot. Talking about anticipation, eh? The steam coming off the pizza brought a cacophony of scents to my head. Ground chourice and red pepper. Nice crust that held up well to the toppings. My bud ordered a mushroom and green pepper pie. We reluctantly shared. The veggies and cheese combo with that crust was insane. The sauce was just enough for my liking. The beverage list was a hit when I saw one of my top brews, a Fiddlehead IPA brewed in Vermont. Ordered one up. I also tried a local brew, but this essay is not a beverage review, but i know what satisfies me. Can this joint get any better? Friendly and efficient hosts answering your questions, taking your orders, getting your drinks. Small business where the customer is both treated well and fed well. I know that I only had a pizza, but that is what I came here for. Maybe I'll try another menu item on my next visit, maybe not. Looks small from the parking lot but very qwell laid out inside. Clean and comfortable bar. Adequate space to move around. I suggest that you check it out for yourself. I might see you there because I will be back to GST. Addendum: As expected, I returned came 2 days later. This visit, i had them configure a sausage and green pepper pie. Marvelous. Nothing more to say besides try Grove Street Tavern for yourselves.

    Harley Burger with sweet potato fries. Excellent
    Kevin M.

    Still great, have gone back multiple times. Consistently great service, food prepared perfectly and great atmosphere. Grilled chicken and Buffalo Chicken sandwich were both great. Burgers and chicken fingers still among the best around.

    Mozzarella sticks.
    Michael M.

    I came here during a mini snow storm and not a single person was here, which was fine with me. I ordered a drink and the bartender was very nice and talkative. I did end up ordering mozzarella sticks to eat there and wings to bring home. The mozzarella sticks weren't really good, they tasted like they were the frozen kind that you get from the grocery store, so not much to them at all and barely any cheese. Once I paid the bill, I went home and tried the wings and they were just average, which I was disappointed about, but to be honest I didn't expect much from the this place since in the city of Taunton this isn't a place that is much talked about at all. I think this is a great spot to pregame or just relax and have a beer without a ton of people being around you.

    Chili and homemade nachos
    Christina A.

    Don't let the exterior or location fool you. The interior is cute- nice tables set up and bar. Now the food- was really good. Everything came out hot and fresh- hand made chicken tenders and sandwich - the soup was better than Portuguese restaurants in the area and the chili was perfect with homemade nacho chips. Don't overlook this little gem of a place.

I thought the band was good in all of its incarnations. There is a definite music theme throughout the décor. From the mural of rockers which covers an entire wall to the Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin base drums and the guitar shaped neon. If you wanted to watch the band and could not get a seat in the front room, there were a couple of cctv's showing the performers in the back and bar area. There is a full bar of about 20 seats with a decent selection of draft beer. When we were there the place was packed and the two bartenders were doing a good job of keeping up with the demand. There were about ten tables and no waitresses. You can order at the bar but I believe a sign is needed to direct one to the appropriate place to order. Food is available.

We sat out on the patio, and the experience was perfect. There was live music starting at 5:30 on a Monday afternoon, which was ideal for anyone who likes to be home early. I also have to mention the entertainment--Jim Armstrong was one of the best singers we've heard in this area. Stone Forge offers outdoor seating, an outdoor bar, indoor seating, and plenty of shaded patio spots with umbrella coverage if you don't want to be in the sun. The bathrooms are large and very clean, and the restaurant itself is also spotless. Highly recommend Stone Forge--between the warm, quick food, the great atmosphere, and Jamie's excellent service, we'll definitely be back!
