Located at 101 West St. Charles Road in west suburban Lombard, the origin of Babcock's Grove House can be traced to 1858 when the property was built as a hotel and constructed of hand hewn limestone more than one foot thick. Today, the beautiful tin ceiling remains. And the menu is filled with old-country recipes that the early settlers would appreciate. Open from 11 to 9 on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and 11 to 10 on Friday and Saturday, Babcock has served Midwestern comfort food since 2016. I started with IPA battered cheese curds, a bowl of creamy garlic mushroom soup and a Green Goddess salad with chopped cabbage, cucumbers, green onions, plain Greek yogurt, honey, olive oil, chives, scallions, dijon mustard and Green Goddess dressing. For my entree, I chose blue cheese sriracha meatloaf with house-made buttermilk chive mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts. For dessert, I was informed that Babcock's makes several made-from-scratch pies daily and, on this day, the apple pear sage with maple walnut crumble was highly recommended. Right on.

The food was very good here. We came at a slow time so our service was pretty quick
Food was pretty good. The cheese curds were awesome. I’d be curious to test some of the non burger sandwiches

In an ancient structure, a really cool place. Your food is delivered after you place your order at the counter. Every server appears to enjoy cuisine and is willing to make suggestions. All of the sandwiches are tasty and fresh, and the mushroom soup is amazing. Loved they had 7 oz Little Kings! Ideal for lunch!

Excellent burger and fries with a great outdoor seating area that is dog friendly.
