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!

Today we went for lunch and the like I said the food and service were excellent!The strangest thing happened..we ordered dessert and wanted coffee the waiter who was excellent said we don't normally do coffee .All the times I had been there it has never been an issue or questionEd.They said they don't like to cross over to the Egg House.So basically when the Egg House closes no coffee or tea probably for dessert.He was able to to accommodate us but kind of hesitant no fault of his own.Then on the bill coffee was listed as "custom" seriously?. I realize it's a "Tavern Restaurant " but with dessert comes coffee or tea" in a restaurant usually. I thank you to the waiter but probably will never go back.

This was my 18 month olds dream restaurant experience! For the grown ups, so many choices we will have to come back but I really enjoyed the fried chicken sandwich. The chicken was tender and there was plenty of it. I really liked the honey mustard sauce as well. The fries are beer battered style and seasoned well, I am picky on fries but I loved them! It's a big place with lots of seating but I could see there being a wait if you go during peak times.

We all ordered the Grand Tasting, which lets you try three entrees plus a beverage. It was so much food but everything was delicious. I had the short rib, fried chicken, and catfish, each with different sides. The only thing I did not really care for was the dressing. They also had live entertainment, which made the vibe even better. Customer service was just okay, but I would still recommend it. I definitely want to try their other location since I have heard the menu is different.

I recently visited Soul Food Lounge on Chicago's West Side and overall had a good experience…read more The restaurant itself is pretty small, and the layout feels a little awkward when you first walk in since you're looking directly into the kitchen. The ambiance wasn't quite what I expected, but the service and food made up for it. I ordered the Caribbean stuffed turkey leg, which came with pasta, spinach, a couple of jumbo shrimp, and a turkey drumstick. The dish was flavorful and satisfying overall. My only criticisms were that the spinach was chopped so finely that it was hard to really taste it, and the turkey drumstick seemed smaller than expected. I was hoping for a meatier drumstick, but most of the meat was concentrated toward the bottom of the bone. For dessert, I had a slice of carrot cake, and it was excellent. I would have loved for it to be served warm, but it was still moist, flavorful, and a great way to end the meal. I also tried the fried pound cake, and unfortunately, it was a miss for me. It didn't taste like pound cake, and honestly, it wasn't a very good cake in general. It's not something I would order again. One thing I noticed is that the menu doesn't appear to offer appetizers or salads, which might be something to consider if you're looking for more variety before your main course. Overall, I enjoyed my visit. While there were a few things that could be improved, the stuffed turkey and carrot cake were enjoyable, and I'd be willing to come back and try something else on the menu.
