Just picked up Wednesday night chicken and spaghetti. Some of the best you are going to find and not just in the area. Service isn't the fastest because they are very busy but it is in no way slow. You can quickly get a drink and food is about 15 minutes. Great place!

Great place. A little out of the way in Central Illinois but worth the trip. Imaginative sandwiches ( I recommend the "Hot for Teacher Burger") and the naked chicken wings were massive. Can't wait to go back. Just of Wyoming IL on Illinois Route 17

I have some family in this area, and this is always my go to place. The food is great, and the atmosphere is dripping with cool. Bikers are not only welcome, but I think they are encouraged to stop.
A great find! We came across Catalpa Grove while riding our motorcycle out of a campground near Starved Rock. We'd been to the area many times, but never ventured out this way and we're super glad we did. This is perfect bike stop with an outdoor bar and outdoor stage. Service was friendly, food was good, and the surrounding area was peaceful. We'll be back!

Food and service were very good, and it was pleasant sitting outside with our meals and a couple of beers. It really is a grove of catalpa trees!
The "Hot For teacher" burger is amazing and the sweet potato fries get two thumbs up. Thanks for an awesome lunch!

First time there. We went as a group on our motorcycles. We walked in and immediately was asked if we wanted to be seated inside or out. Our entire party hadn't shown up yet so we weren't sure. We were then asked if this was on 1 check or separate. We said separate but we didn't know how many people were ordering and who was going to get what so we weren't able to answer the question of how many separate checks. We were then asked what we wanted. Most people would read this and not see the problem. Fast service.. the problem was we hadn't been there long enough to make any decisions or even look at the menu. Half the group that was there were going to the bathroom while we were still waiting for people to show. There wasn't alot of people there, yet i felt very rushed and not welcome, even more so when we weren't able to answer the bartenders questions right away. Most of our party stayed inside, while others went outside. 3 of us ordered food. I personally got mozzarella sticks. I don't think they were cooked all the way. They weren't frozen still, but not hot either. I got the chicken bacon ranch grilled sandwich with fries. That dish was fantastic! Once we were done eating we all went to the outside bar where there were just as many people out there ( 6) as inside, not including us.. the bartender was a lot more laid back. All in all, it's not a bad place and most likely will come back.
