Great atmosphere delicious food great entertainment. I'm going back again and again thank you.

What a waste of time and $ for New Years Eve! $60 for toughest and fattiest prime rib and heres the best..... they gave 4 tiny shrimp to me at the buffet and when I asked politely for a little more...... he said I can give you 1 more!!!!!! Really??? No music till 10 DJ could have had us up dancing but was useless. Waste of time Left at 930... Clean and update this place I guess there's a reason it's called The Grave!!!!! read more

Ok food fairly priced. Poor service. Great band with lots of people dancing and having a great time. If you're up for old-school Pittsburgh dance club, you'll have a blast. read more

I enjoyed my light dinner(snack) while taking part of Thursday karaoke night........THEN.........a change occurred! Management was taken over and menu was updated. There was a new item added. A black and blue burger. On the menu described as a seasoned burger topped with blue cheese. That piqued my interest and I ordered it.only to find that instead of blue cheese, it had a schemer of what was later advised as extra chunky blue cheese dressing. I was then referred to the new owner who listened to my complaint and advised me that even though it states blue cheese crumbles, the right of the restaurant has the right to put an ingredient on they deside. It doesn't matter what the menu states.I stated that was a cheap way to run a business and was told by him that because I called the restaurant and him cheap, I was banned from EVER returning. read more

this place has come & gone more times than i care to remember. in it's heyday, it was the place to be. now, well.... after a long day at work with my hubby, we were trying to think of some place new to go, maybe haven't been to in a while. sitting at the red light on 88, there it was. jokingly, i said, what about the grove? next thing i knew we were pulling in. it was about 6 on a wednesday, & it was lit up, but not many cars. in we went. we walked into an empty room, except for 4 or 5 women cleaning up what they said was a lunch/meeting, & some guy. i'm guessing he was the owner as he told them all what to do. yes, they were open. they sat us. it's been a long time since we ate there. we looked over the menus. basic. apps, burgers, sandwiches. we ordered the fried green beans. yum. he got the fish sandwich. i got the the cowboy burger. he liked his fish. my burger was good. it was actually a little pink in the middle. (i asked for rare.) but, it had jalapenos on it. it had ALOT of them. like, i picked off a handful, & there were still more! it tasted alright going down. let's just say i paid for it all night long, & into the next morning! i would say, don't eat that burger unless you bathe in peppers! on a happier note, the wine was house, but was ok! the place is still dark & dreary. it still wasn't as clean as i would like. but, there are people who love the place. i don't know why. we ate, & left. it'll probably be another 10 years before we go back. read more

There were six of us for dinner and we all got food poisoning the next day. If you're going there, go for the music and not the food.

We went to the Linden Grove to hear a band called Totally 80's. (I highly recommend them). We went early to have dinner. The restaurant itself needs some major updating. There are stars in the ceiling. There are colorful lamps but some were burned out. There is a brass railing all around the dance floor. The entrance is awkward. It was pretty safe to say that we weren't expecting much from the food. We were a little surprised. I ordered a GodFather which is like a baked Italian Hoagie only it has fries and coleslaw on top. I removed the top bun because it was burnt around the edges a bit much for me. I actually tackled this sandwich with a fork and knife. It was huge. I ended up giving half to a friend of mine and I still felt like I had a mountain of sandwich in front of me. The coleslaw was good. The sandwich actually benefitted from the acidity. The deli meats were good and the fries were hand cut. I think I would have preferred it the sandwich had not been baked but that is my personal opinion. My husband had the fish dinner. It came with veggies and a choice of starch. The piece of fish almost covered half of the plate. It was broiled nicely. The fish was very flaky and tasty. The veggies were a bit mushy for my taste. I'm not a big rice fan so I didn't try it. As I said earlier, we were a bit surprised by the food-pleasantly thankfully. read more

Fun local spot for dancing to songs you love but hadn't gotten to dance to since Pittsburgh had an amazing dance club scene way back. DJ Tim plays favorite songs from the early 2000's shuffles to current hits like Bruno Mars. Saturday evenings, no cover charge, reasonably priced drinks. Can't wait to go back! read more

This is a must try for a good night out great people great food and DJ Tim pushing out the 80s, 90s, and top 40 on Saturday night!!! Make sure you ask for Rose she is an amazing lady and will take great care of you!!! read more

Haven't been here in years and went to check it out and it is horrible! The music sucks and you can pretty much almost guess what time it is according to what the DJ plays. Nice to see some things haven't changed. Save your money. Place needs to be cleaned. read more

This is definitely a 40+ bar/nightclub. Early in the night it's quiet and you feel awkward dancing, but as the night progresses so does the crowd and the music! Friday night is usually a band (sometimes really good ones like Totally 80's) and Saturday night they have a DJ and play some great old school music videos. Some of the drinks are very watered down but I found the tequila sunrise and I'm sticking to it! read more

Great food, great people! Great atmosphere! Such a fun time & no drama. Would definitely recommend for a date night, or even just a spot to stop for a drink or 2 with friends! read more

We go on Saturdays and The DJ does a Great Job! When I call to reserve a table they are very good at placing us in a great spot! Amazing people, everybody has fun, crowd shows that they like to have a great time! Everybody dresses how they like and age does not matter, mostly 50's crowd! The servers come to the our table to take our order! Food is good ,great beer selection.Great, Fun Place! read more

Had my 21st Birthday here and loved it! Great food and music! My favorite sandwich there is "The Godfather"! Definitely going there again!

I went to the Linden Grove with my family for dinner. Food was excellent. Portions were very generous. I know most people think of this as a nightclub but it is a great place to go to dinner. The Mushroom Risotto was delicious! read more

This was my very first time here and I will unfortunately never be back. Me and my family had a great time until 1:58, a bouncer screamed at us "get the f*ck out", and kicked everyone out, for no apparent reason. The drinks were over priced, but it was a good time. Until we were kicked out before closing, extremely rude, for no reason. I will not be back here. It is extremely unprofessional to kick out customers before closing, especially using profanity and rudeness. read more

I come to the Grove often. I didn't used to because I thought it was just for old people. I was invited to a birthday party on a Saturday night about a year ago and had a freaking great time! The music was an all around fun mix of old school and new and the crowd was into it! The bartenders,and waitresses were on it and the apps we had were awesome... I've been back a bunch of times since and it's becoming my Saturday spot :) read more

I went to the Linden Grove on 1/20/18 and I couldn't believe I had never been to eat here before! It was easily one of the BEST baked cod dinners i have ever had! the fish was delicious, the mushrooms rosotto was absolutely amazing, and the succotash was so tasty! I'll definitely be going back for dinner again sometime soon! read more

I'm giving this one star as I don't have the ability to give negative stars. Visited recently for dinner and drinks for a friend's birthday. Reservations were made for a large party; however it was clear from the start that they were terribly unprepared and unconcerned. Our waitress was very visibly frustrated and overwhelmed. 1 waitress for ~40 people is unreasonable and speaks volumes about poor management. We placed our drink orders and asked for menus. After well over 30 min we received our drinks and placed a food order- time ticked by, seasons changed and we all grew older.... food was brought for part of our table but the rest of us waited and waited and waited. After close to 60 min, our waitress returned and was surprised that the food hadn't come but said that the kitchen had messed up the orders. I told her I no longer wanted my food and to please just close out my tab and bring back my bill and card. 45 min later- still no bill, no food and way out of patience with our ghost of a waitress I stood at the bar until I finally tracked her down. she then blamed the delay on the bar running the tab wrong - I grabbed my card, signed whatever bill was given to me, had a few angry words and couldn't flee this disastrous experience fast enough. I can't provide any feedback on the actual food as I never did receive any; however the terrible service and blatant lack of concern for customer service speaks volumes. Unless your intention is to leave hungry, angry and frustrated I would go somewhere else. Anywhere else. read more

Great place to go and have fun no matter what age you are! My grown kids and family always chose this place bc of the age diversity. Definitely like a family with a lot of regulars there as a lot of the same faces were seen as when I used to go more often pre covid. Stopped once during covid for the amazing fish sammys and could see Like most restaurants they took a major nosedive as the skeleton staff seemed more concerned with themselves partying and going MIA. Recently stopped a few Saturdays ago and seems they have gotten their footing back, for the most part, considering! We always had great wait service pre covid but it's a little lacking now which is understandable due to labor shortages. We will now just go to the bar to sit if there's room for drinks or even if sitting at a table as it's faster that way. As the night went on the waitress seemed to disappear. Make sure to see the blonde bartender as she makes amazing drinks and has always been super pleasant. Wish I could remember her name bc there may be more than one. I'm pretty sure she used to wait on tables pre covid. Overall a great place for eating, dancing and people watching, just could use some new music/as the playlist seems to be the same as 2-5 years ago. 4/5 Recommended!! read more

Ever since the new management took over it's been absolutely terrible - from the service at the tables and at the bar, to the DJ, to the food, to the drinks. It's gone down hill! The DJ is awful and only played top 40s. When DJ Bugger was there, he played music from the 70s and worked it's way up today - making it an enjoyable night for any age. read more

I've been to the Linden Grove to dance many times. The DJ is great! But the service, one girl in particular is not. About a month ago, I was there we ordered dinner before the band started.. When we ordered drinks, (which were WAY watered down) 3 cosmos tasted like nothing but watered down cranberry juice. One of the girls in our group ordered the alcohol shots separate and divided them in our drinks.. now it tasted right. The waitress brought our drinks and put them on the table by gripping the rim of the glass. Who wants to drink from a glass that someone just touched where you put your mouth? Especially as we watched her clean up dirty glasses at the next table, by putting her fingers inside the glasses. 50 minutes later our food showed up and she brought along an EMPTY shaker jar of parm cheese. I could not believe the shaker was empty. (when I say empty, I mean a few pieces clinging to the sides and bottom of the jar.) I wanted to show the owner, but another girls wanted cheese for her pasta and asked for a full one before I saw him. As a former waitress, I would think that before the shift started someone should make sure these things are full. ALSO Someone needs to train her not to touch the rim of customer's glasses, that is so unsanitary.. we were all looking at each other and were tempted to say something to her, instead we just walked up to the bar to get our dinks the rest of the night. I waited so long to post this because I wasn't going to say anything, then last weekend we were there again with a party.. Friends got appetizers, when they were finished I put the leftovers on one plate and moved it to my table to share. We went up to dance, drinks, food, purses and phones all at the table... came back and the food and one girl's drink (1/2 full) were gone! Who busses a table while customers are still eating? The appetizer plate was full.. (1/2 flat bread pizza, a few wings and 4 zucchini strips.) When I saw her later I said to her "You took my plate of food" she said, "The bus boy must have" and walked away. Didn't see her after that. I never saw a bus boy cleaning tables there. Not sure if this girl was ever trained to wait tables... but when she threw away my food and a drink I got pissed. Gotta be sure not to be in her section again! Or just eat and have a few drinks before I get there so nothing gets thrown away when I am dancing. read more

Went to see a show there this evening and the venue was horrible. Drinks weren't good at all. They packed the place so full no one could see anything at all. People were angry outside demanding their money back. I definitely was not impressed. The only positive note was they did refund my cash on the spot. I did appreciate the much, but I will never return to this venue. read more

My husband and I used to love to go here and dance but recently it is the same songs over, and over, and over again. Please get new bands, DJ's, and new songs!!! read more

Don't go here if you're under the age of 45!! Some friends and I went out last night to celebrate my 24th birthday and we figured that we'd stay local as none of us was in the mood to venture out to the South Side. We chose The Grove because it has a nice central location and still has a dance floor. Everything was fine until a friend of mine decided to get me a round of birthday shots and was harassed by the bar manager for having the nerve to ask him to make 4 lemon drops. He finally relented after talking about what a hassle it was as she stood by, and then proceeded to charge her 7 dollars per shot. Another friend asked for a cranberry and vodka, stressing that she did not care what kind of vodka they used. The same manager gave her well vodka but proceeded to charge her for premium. Needless to say he was not tipped, and we left shortly thereafter in pursuit of a better night elsewhere. I was told by a patron sitting at the bar that this is a regular occurrence if you're young. read more

If you want to check out this restaurant for the food, you should definitely go on a weeknight. The service on weekends is terrible and the kitchen very slow. Also, I went there early on a Friday to have dinner before the band started and they were already charging a cover charge at 730pm. So before you even order dinner your out $15 for the two cover charges. They later forced me to either pay my bill before or give them my card since the band was playing and a lot of people were just there to drink. I didn't want to close out because I had another person arriving who was going on my tab. So I gave them my card and they used it for someone else's $95 bar bill!! They did refund it the same night but still that is ridiculous! When my other party arrived they went to the bar to avoid waiting twenty minutes for a waitress to come back and waited ten minutes for a beer and two waters! And they charged $2.25 per water! Not bottles... just plastic cups of water! Bars never charge for water! Especially when you want to encourage DD's. read more

I used to work here 2012 for 4 years then unfortunately I had to stop cos of medical reasons returned as a costumer late 2018 and was barred for someone I didn't know and the owners son is the one who barred me for a PERSON I did NOT KNOW! He then told me I cud come back ona certdate in witch I returned only to have the bouncer and his girlfriend flip out on me and scraming to leave! I called the owners son and messaged him when reaching him he told me I cud not be there cos he was not there! I was pissed and then text him thing I may have not shud have then I've apologized several time to the owner and the son but still was told can't have me back! This is the only place I know to dance at and I do enjoy dancing very much been doing it all my life !! Guess they don't believe in forgiveness! I take accountability for my anger lashing out and can't apologize more then I have! But in all I know most all that goes there that's why I liked to go there! read more

Beware! You may not be safe at Linden Grove. I was recently confronted & threatened by their security guard simply because a woman he had dated began speaking to me at the bar. I was there drinking water & minding my own business, trying to enjoy the Saturday DJ! The bartender said that this wasn't the 1st time he had done this, & gave me the owner's name & encouraged me to alert the owner. I took time to personally meet with the owner, who admitted previous problems w/his security staff. As I suggested to him the obvious risk mgmt problems he banned me from the club! And he's keeping the employee on board! This can be a fun place - but not worth the risk of being the victim of an unprovoked attack!! If you're assaulted here by security know that there's a track record of problems which the owner is on notice of and other employees can attest to. read more

Linden Grove is a fun place to go with friends or even alone, everyone seems to be really nice. I always have a good time, although I think they need to change things up. Every Saturday same music don't get me wrong the music is good,but it would be nice for a Saturdays 80's night or Disco Saturday night. Friends of mine came in from out of town I took them there they liked it also.They do need to expand the dance floor is to small for the crowd they get. Stop in sometime you will enjoy it also,but hope for a 80s night that would be great read more

We went here on a Friday night to hear the band "No bad JuJu". The band was good, the dj was good, food was good, the crowd was great, BUT THE SERVICE WAS HORRIBLE. Our friends and I waited about and hour and half to receive our food. My one friend had to ask MULTIPLE times for silverware to eat her salad! Our server stated twice that our drinks had been given to other tables. From the time I put in my drink order till I received it was about an hour or more. My friend also waited about an hour to receive a refill and had to ask our server MULTIPLE times for that. This is our second time here and we do enjoy it, but the service BOTH TIMES HAS BEEN HORRIBLE. The owners need to hire more servers so their customers have a better experience. I'm sure the owner wouldn't enjoy waiting for his/her food and drinks for around 90 minutes!!! And it is very small for the crowd size. An addition would be good also! read more

Went for my Bachelorette party. The music being played wasn't very good. Requested multiple songs. The dj wouldn't play any of the songs. Several people in my group complained about the music. So I attempted to get a song played for my friend who was leaving so she could dance. I again went up to the dj gave him all my cash, which was $7.00. To play lil Wayne lollipop next so that my friend could dance before she left. Never was played. My sister thought it was messed up and told the owners son. The song was finally played. Thanks to the owners son saying something. That dj is terrible and ignorant. I guess he can only play his set list of songs. Then as soon as it was over I was told I was being kicked out. I don't even know what I could have possibly done so horrible to be kicked out. I guess I annoyed him trying to make people dance. Then I was given a hard time to close out my tab. Don't comprehend why that was an issue when your kicking me out of my own bachelorette party. I couldn't even go back to table to get our cups and stuff to take with us. The servers were also completely miserable. I asked for a drink and she came back and I gave her my credit card to start a tab. She then flipped out on me and said she needed cash because she paid the bartender for the drink and needed cash. I asked her why she didn't tell me that before I ordered the drink or I would have just went to the bar. After our conversation she went and got a tab started. She repeated this with several other people in my group so we got the rest of our drinks from the bar. Didn't want to make it harder on her. I understand it's under new ownership but it's awful service awful music and awful dj. Thanks for ruining my last night out. read more
