What a very charming hidden place. The waitstaff are friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is casual and relaxed. They start you off with a bowl of popcorn. I ordered the loaded nachos with chicken. It was tasty and I like that it wasn't overly huge. It's a good size for one person as I did finish the plate. Normally, I cannot finish nachos because the appetizer is usually larger, for more than 2 ppl. My husband ordered the Grove burger. He really liked it with his tater tots. The bar area is lit up with string lights and many patrons enjoying their drinks. Thursday night is Martini night. The outside patio has string lights, a fire pit, a stage for live music and plenty of seating. What a serendipitous place. It's a fun place to go to. We will be back. See pics. read more

Food was good as can be. Service was attentive. The music was a great surprise to ensure a pleasant experience!

This is the sad part. I am an incognito food critic, and their food was outstanding. This is an evening I get to share with one of my daughters and the evening was a disaster. Although their customer service totally questionable. We were violently approached by a table after we had asked them nicely to be a little more quiet because we were listening to the music. Verbally accosted by these persons. Unfortunately by the look of the woman being verbally abusive to us she looked like the owner. So if the staff is protecting family members while they are being obnoxious and drunk to new customers, they should rethink this. My review would have been outstanding, my followers go anywhere I suggest. read more

The atmosphere and the hired Santa were the highlights- festive and fun for everyone. However, the positives stop here. The food was mediocre, the holiday drinks were terrible and the tables were dirty, our table was filled with pet hair. We got there right at 11:00am when the doors opened for this event. Service was disorganized and not enough servers. I asked for a set of crayons for my granddaughter to use to color the children's menu they provided, I was told they were locked up and would not become available until the manager got there. The person behind the bar provided this information in a snappy tone of voice. This was a huge oversight considering it was a kid friendly event. I will not be attending this type of event moving forward. read more

Service was still good. Ordered the fajita wrap and the Cuban sandwich. Fajita wrap had good flavors but was a bit messy to eat and got soggy inside. The menu says Cuban served on white bread. My husband was not a fan of that since it wasn't like a traditional Cuban. read more

The Grove Pub & Grill - Fajita Wrap Good flavors. A bit soggy. I would say order with sour cream on the side to spread it out more than 1 spot. - Pubs Near Me - Spring Grove, Illinois

Passing through town, and on my way to Michigan, I stopped by to visit a long time friend in Lombard..after a brief discussion, we decided to continue our conversation over dinner. What a decision it was. This place is phenomenal! Super friendly staff, tasty drinks, and most importantly delicious food. This place is a keeper! We even got a table side visit from the owner..very nice touch. I'm just passing through, you shouldn't pass on The Grove Pub & Grill! read more

Food is great can't go wrong. Be careful when you order a Sunday Bloody Mary Special - They post it as $6 but when you ask them to make it with Tito's Vodka - they charge you $11! $5 more for Tito's vs the rail vodka. Not nice and not worth it. Barkeep said that is what the owner wants... I wonder if that is true? Why would an owner gouge a good customer (we go often) with a $5 premium charge for Tito's? They do a great job turning the Grove into Christmas Themed Bar - very cool. read more

The food is hit or miss. I got the chicken salad and the lettuce was very wilted and you could tell it was not fresh.

The metal seats on the patio are just horrible to sit in although we love when they have music their live music and we do go, but they need to change those seats. Food's OK. read more

Great food, horrible service! Our waitress had the absolute worst attitude. Every question we had was met with a sharp rude response. It completely over shadowed the food. Probably one of my worst experiences with a waitress. read more

Worst service ever!!!! Closed my tab without asking. Never received my drinks. Came to line dance wasn't even line dancing was club dancing. Will NOT be coming back!!! read more

The food is great, the service is always good. The atmosphere is fun and everyone is friendly. There is an outside patio very well shaded and dog friendly. The Grove is great if you just want a couple of drinks and an appetizer or if you are looking for a full meal. I highly recommend! read more

The food was very good and the portions are very generous. The staff is friendly and efficient maneuvering around the maze of hightop tables. The drinks are tasty and affordable. This is all set in a quaint and historic area of Spring Grove. It's off the beaten path, but well worth the trip. read more

My husband and I ordered take out from this restaurant and I have to say, we've never spent so much money on crap food until this place. His boom boom shrimp tacos were horrible. instead of tossing the shrimp in the sauce, they drizzled it on a handful of lettuce. I ordered a bacon burger and they leave out the bacon and put old onion on it. fries tasted like they were sitting out for hours. $9 kids chicken tenders and the tenders have little to no chicken in them, all batter. horrible experience and if you try this place do it at your own caution. read more

GREAT food! GREAT service! GREAT location! GREAT staff! GREAT biker bar! Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz read more

Love this place in the quaint little corner of downtown Spring Grove. It's a perfect bar and grill with a heated porch for the winter. I've not been here for 5 years, when my daughter used to live down the street. It had good food then and still does. The service is welcoming and very attentive in all the good ways. They say good night when you leave and thank you for stopping in. Such a gem. Of yeah - great burgers and specialty drinks. The potato pancakes are think and almost like a hash brown. So glad this restaurant still has the small town friendliness and great food. Thank you! read more

Ambience is nice, service was terrible, food was sub-par. Ordered appetizers and they took an hour to come out on a day that was not busy at all. I had to get her attention after 30 mins of not coming to check on us. Entrees took another hour to come out. Don't come here unless you plan on waiting for a long time for some bland food. read more

I really like the staff here, they're fast, clever, and friendly. I also have a particular fondness for popcorn and liquids! First time was when I first moved here and I wanted to say hi and take a gander at the menu. Then I came through after church with my friend and his son and we sat on the patio, that was my first weekend experience there. Third time was live music and I think it's great. I'm looking forward to taking my best friend there for prime rib on his birthday, which is coming up soon. I forgot to mention that I had a great burger, exact right temperature, and I got mashed potatoes and gravy and they were tasty! The mushrooms were supple and flavorful, the cheese was just right, and my pop with lemon was ice cold. My friend shared a salad with his son and they both got burgers. It was cute. We also charged through 2 baskets of popcorn - his kid's a teenager with a hollow leg. I like their menu. Solid fare, with a few interesting surprises. Go often and tip well! read more

Always good food. Friendly people Love taco Tuesday's. They are also very involved in community read more

Had the Diablo burger with tater tots. Tater tots were over cooked in old oil. But the burger was really good. Cooked to perfection. Beer on tap was nice and cold. Service was awesome. Parking easy. Plenty of room on the outdoor patio. read more

The Grove Pub & Grill - a plate of food - Pubs Near Me - Spring Grove, Illinois

Terrible service! Waited an hour and fifteen minutes for a fish fry, a fajita wrap and a salad!...Fish was overcooked, the wrap was cold and the salad was soggy with way too much salad dressing!...And what did the management do to try and make amends for long time regular customers?...A slap in the face 15% discount! I've owned 2 restaurants and would have comped the entire meal after hearing how terrible the service was that we received! We will not be returning! read more

Amazing food and service absolutely the best place to eat and go to! Take the family has the right ambiance!

Was ok when it's open The hours changed and you can't get lunch during the week. Good food though read more

This place does not disappoint! We always do carryout, it's a bar and a little too loud for my liking. They do have an outdoor area that's sweet, too. But whatever you order, you won't be disappointed! Generous portions, fresh ingredients, hot and delicious. Their poppers are huge and the best! I believe they are made there because they do not resemble frozen food service faire. The owner and staff also care about great service. It's loud if you call in, but the team has always been courteous and helpful. Definitely recommend! From their salads, to burgers, wraps or dinner options, you will have a great selection to choose from and everything is prepared to perfection! read more

Great prime beef sammy, friendly bartender and patrons (Koi). Karaoke on Wednesdays:)

Housed in what looks like was once an old 2-story house, this pub is very welcoming with potted flowers leading up the steps and umbrellas/tables in the yard for outdoor seating. Situated on a corner in a tiny town, it's a quaint setting. -Definitely small town Midwest and everything I love about that. The bartender/waitress was running the whole show when we arrived. She was so personable. She clearly knew all of the other patrons who spilled in, but treated us as if we were locals/friends too. She'd be a girl you want to hang with. The loaded pork nachos were good -piled high with evenly distributed ingredients, leaving nothing dry yet nothing soggy. My favorite of our order. The burgers were both cooked well and seasoned well. While the menu had a nice selection of specialty burgers, we ordered just the basic. Ingredients were fresh. Nothing mind blowing, but it beat your typical fast food burger. The fajita wrap wasn't bad by any means, but not especially flavorful in the way of fajita seasonings. It could have used more. A lot more. Cool off. Catch a game. Eat solid pub food. Order drinks. Make new friends. And see what small town life feels like. Having been raised in a tiny town, I love joints like this. read more

Can't believe I am saying this because we love this place but tonight went wrong from the moment we walked in! If there was a fire no one would get out that is how packed in the bar area is! Guy blocking the way in didn't want to move told me I could squeeze through, seriously! Took 15/20 minutes to waitress I get it they have the Tinsel bar so everyone wants to see but they are not prepared at least not tonight. Sad part the food was just as good as the 1st time we came. Bill comes manager knows waitress told her how unhappy we are nothing off the bill! read more

The Grove Pub & Grill - Prime rib samich soooo good the staff is the best - Pubs Near Me - Spring Grove, Illinois

Gem! We came to hear Kraig Kenning and we were so happy with the gorgeous space, excellent and warm staff, and the great food. One of the diners in our group is a big fried fish fan and he said it was among the top he's ever had, huge pieces, light crispy breading. All portions are generous, and who doesn't love warm popcorn to start the meal? A really lovely evening. Thank you guys for your hard work and being so welcoming. read more

The food is usually pretty good. It can get really crowded. It is easiest to go there in the summer to eat on their patio. Masks are not encouraged, so if you are immunocompromised, or if you are worried about bringing covid to a loved one, it is not the safest environment. The close proximity is kind of off-putting unless you can be seated outside. Remember that the staff is not careful about masks, either, so proceed with caution. read more

This place is the best! They have the best fajita wrap in the area, awesome burgers and great appetizers (try the sriracha bourbon barbecue sauce on some wings). Tacos are great. Really everything I've had here is awesome and they have an expanded patio space that is great and often hosts local musicians. read more

I wish I had started coming here since the beginning of summer! This is a little gem! I had the Buffalo wings and chicken avocado wrap. Food was delicious, the service was excellent and the live music was so good! Please give this place a try! read more

Great neighborhood restaurant with awesome outdoor seating that can be enclosed. Live music is a plus. Bingo is a plus.

Just driving through town and stopped in for a sandwich. Megan had a burger she enjoyed. I had the boneless wings which were freshly battered and prepared and really good. Cool old school atmosphere, I recommend! read more
