Grove Tavern is easy to pass by on the crowded strip in downtown Lombard. But DON'T PASS IT UP!…read moreThis place fires on all cylinders and is a must-visit! We stopped in for dinner on a Friday night and were able to snag a table in the busy place. We setup in a cozy corner and began looking over the menu. Our waiter stopped by and we immediately knew he was going to be top notch. He was so friendly but very chill and seemed like he was reading our minds when it came to suggestions. After finally deciding, we placed our order and were impressed by the speed at which our food came out! It was fast for a sit-down restaurant! While we devoured our meal, which was INCREDIBLE by the way (I had the meatloaf and it was delicious!), our wonderful waiter continually checked in to see if we needed anything (but not to an annoying level). Then the manager (I think?) stopped by and even the owner (which I found out who he was later) asked how things were. And it wasn't a check-the-box, they were genuinely interested in making sure everything was to our liking. The restaurant/bar-ish is a bit of a mix. It has a bar feel but is right on the cusp of being something more upscale. And they should embrace that because their food and service level support something leveled-up! On the way out I tapped the owner on the shoulder and told him what an amazing time we had - he appreciated it. We'll be back here again, many more times!

The Grove offers really good vibes and atmosphere and really just okay food unfortunately…read more We love the outdoor patio, service is quick and it's a great place to get a drink and maybe some appetizers but we haven't been impressed yet with the entrées. The most recent time we went, I ordered the French dip which was tasty, but there was not nearly enough roast beef in the sandwich, so it was very bread heavy. My partner ordered the brisket and for a place that's supposed to be known for barbecue...This brisket was not good. Low in flavor, high in fat. The cocktails were nice and presented very beautifully and we also enjoyed it an ahi tuna appetizer and that was the best thing we had there. We might come back to enjoy the outdoor patio, but plan to share more appetizers and do drinks.

Their BBQ is smoked in house, giving the restaurant a delightful aroma. I opted for the French Onion soup (classic but honestly the best i've ever had), then the buffalo chicken wrap with fries. Not just any fries though... their signature garlic cilantro fries. At first I thought "yeah seasoned fries cool." But i'm telling you, DO NOT SLEEP ON THESE FRIES!!! They were so complex, truly took me on a flavor journey. My wrap was so fresh, the chicken was juicy, and the buffalo sauce was amazing. I also want to highlight the service. Joshua was my server and he was so personable and lovely. I tend to be pretty indecisive at restaurants, and he gave me his recommendations which clearly did not lead me astray! He was so patient, and truly set the tone for an amazing dining experience. I personally came here for a solo meal, but I would absolutely come a girls night, go on a date, or bring the family here. The vibes are stellar. 10/10 I will be back when I'm in town!!

Their beer has that tang you'd expect from a sour ale without the molar-wrenching pain that makes drinking more than a few ounces difficult. They nail the flavor and it's always clean and smooth. Some of the best wild ales made. Their taproom is small, but really nice inside with seating at the bar and around the taproom that is more geared towards small parties. They have their full menu on draft and bottled bears available with a few guest beers. I think it's Sunday that they have discounts on their bottled beers and it's a great opportunity to take advantage of!

If I didn't know better, I would have driven right through the parking lot and away. 2. They are known for saison and farm style beer. It pretty much tastes like wine. If this is not your style, then you will likely not enjoy it. My boyfriend was one of those people. I however enjoyed 4 out of the 6 we tried. 3. Price. For my flight with tip I paid about $25. 4. Staff we encountered was great. 5. Hours. I looked them up in the past but could never tell if they were open or not. Give them a try if you are in downtown Lombard and they are open!

It seems like many people love it here since it's always crowded on the weekends. The nashville hot chicken sandwich and nashville hot chicken bao buns are delicious. The chicken is crispy and the flavors are good. The bao buns were so soft and the texture was great. All the flavors from the chicken, slaw, and pickle worked so well together. We've also had their brownie for dessert a previous time and it was delicious. Idk if I remember their mac and cheese being this dry from the previous times because if I remembered it that way, I probably would not have ordered it this time. It basically just tasted like plain noodles. There was like a tsp of thin cheese sauce at the bottom of the plate. For a side that costs $8 I don't think it's worth it, especially because I didn't want to even eat it. It was also served to us cold, so perhaps it was just sitting out for awhile.

Happy hour features good specials on drinks and appetizers. The bar is divey but is clean and you can have a good time. For drinks we got something appropriate. Irish whiskey because we felt like getting lucky. That's on the gaming slots, get your mind out of the gutter, pervert. Both of us got Jameson to be precise, with ginger ale. It's $5 a pour. The food wasn't memorable so we forgot mostly about it but it was just okay. About the only thing not meat was the Pretzel Bites. It's $9 for the normal price. This is $6 for when it's happy hour though. Okay but nothing that special about these other than just something to munch on while talking and gaming. The rest of the menu is stuff like lamb and pork. Have a pretty good time in here. It has a pretty good happy hour with the pretzels among the appetizers included. There's also fun activities like slots.
