Place seems like a cool spot, it was empty which is always a red flag for me. The server was very friendly and polite. I was disappointed that they no longer had other burger option but I ordered the Grove Burger. Well it was pathetic, two pre made Patties with lame seasoning. The fries were decent but the ranch, well if you call it that, tasted like crappy Mayonnaise and some weird seasoning. Three stars because of the service and atmosphere.

Really great restaurant. We picked it out of the blue since we were driving through town. The staff were really friendly, the place was clean, and the food delicious. We’ll definitely stop by the next time we’re in town.

My boyfriend and I stumbled across The Grove Tavern to grab a late lunch. We loved the decor, bringing a clean cozy cool vintage vibe. Callie was very friendly and attentive, our drinks were tasty & well done; the cocktails are on trend being $10+ but that’s pretty average for a nice dining experience. The music was actually spot on too, all around great atmosphere. I joked that we should have our reception there.
The food was *chef kiss* delicious without being overpriced. We ordered the focaccia & ricotta app which was light and refreshing, ribeye which was perfectly cooked and paired with a bed of delicious mashed potatoes, and asparagus. My boyfriend doesn’t even care for asparagus and he ate all of them with a smile on his face. I ordered the salmon which laid on a bed of rice, smothered in sauce, with roasted tomatoes and cooked spinach that paired perfectly. Roasted tomatoes are always questionable to me, but these perfectly complimented the rest of the dish.
Needless to say, this will our new go-to spot whenever we head over to Dekalb. Worth it for a nice date night or hang out with friends for a few cocktails!

So I made a spontaneous trip to Dekalb and out of all my travels and out of all the burgers I’ve ever had. I can honestly say The Grove burger was excellent. Best burger I’ve had. I gave it a 9 had there been just a touch of salt it would have been a 10!

It was our first time, there isn’t any or not much parking in front of the entrance. Parking is along the side and you walk around the building to the entrance. But the atmosphere was very nice and our sandwich was excellent! Would definitely recommend it!

We stopped for a dinner date, it was very noisy and loud. The restaurant was decorated nicely and the staff was very attentive. Kinda pricey for what you get.
