The food was amazing. The service and staff were even better.
Our waiter greeted us with some kind of magic popcorn. He then proceeded to tell us the experience of the General Manager and the Head Chef.

Had early dinner at the Big Grove and was completely blown away. Food was excellent with a variety of menu items that had me wishing my stomach was a bit bigger. I sat at the bar as I was dining alone and the bartender did a great job of explaining the various items I inquired about as well as suggesting a perfect craft beer pairing. I only get to Champaign a couple of times a year, but this will be my go-to anytime in the area.
Just had another fabulous meal at Big Grove. It is hands down our favorite restaurant … even the downtown construction can’t keep us away! The food and service are always top notch.
