“Seriously where to begin… absolutely fantastic lunch and afternoon there with friends! Our waitress was top notch, probably one of the best, if not the best we’ve had anywhere. Anyone who can juggle our table of 6 adults and 4 kids (under 10) so flawlessly deserves a shoutout. HANNAH is a 10/10! We were able to have a tour of the brewery with Doug and Chad. They answered all our random questions about not just beer, but the culinary side of things as well, and made us feel like we’ve been friends for a long time. If the day wasn’t already great, add in the stellar beers/drinks and wonderful food too. We all live farther away (over an hour) but are already talking about when we can meet up at Big Grove again.“

“It felt like 1982 when I walked in and heard all the arcade machines. This place is not quiet but it's not too much either. I miss arcades, the sounds and lights, all the classic machines being played. Awesome.

Old and young people were there on a Friday night eating and playing games. This place is my style! Made for me.

It wasn't packed but it was populated. Everyone was friendly there. We ordered a gluten free pizza and a taco pizza. They didn't take that long to make them. The pizzas were good but nothing like what I am used to. It was more authentic Italian style pizza. Different crust and sauce. There was a lot of vegan stuff available on the menu and build your own pizza. For one sheet of paper the menu had a lot to offer. I don't do vegan or gluten free but it's there if you want it.

They have a bar there also. I will try that next time, it looked well stocked. There is a parking lot right across the street so you don't have to pay to park. And you don't have to park on a busy street. That was a big plus.

They were a little busy so we actually had to go to the bar and ask for our bill. I also had to stop a server and ask for a box to take home the leftovers in. I reluctantly removed a star for that. I feel bad because there are very nice people working there, way better than average. We see how they do next visit.

I would recommend this restaurant if you want a clean and casual place to eat. Definitely a T-shirt and jeans place not a shirt and tie place. I usually tip 25 percent. Service is a big deal and these people have very hard jobs. Work with the public and you will gain a new respect for what these people put up with.

Because we waited 15 mins and had to ask for the bill we only tipped 15 percent. I think that's fair. We will see how it goes next time, I will definitely go back again.“
