As a family of 5, the food was “ok” but definitely not worth what we paid, our bill was $76, for lunch. Sides are not included , and portion sizes of sides are very small. A hot dog (plain) was $6. We were looking forward to this and we are disappointed.To each their own - not my kind, just my opinion.

They've been working hard to get this place open in the new location and it's awesome. I've seen people complain about prices, but I don't think they realize how much stuff has gone up since groovy beast was at the old location. I think the prices are fair, food is excellent, and great selection of local beers on tap.Also, I saw someone complain about the cheese steak not having real cheese... it literally says cheese sauce in the description, and that's how a proper cheese steak is served in Philly... with cheese sauce.I recommend the fried mushrooms... only place you can get them this good in town.

Everyone was very nice and the service was outstanding! Food was good but too many fried things on the menu for me and food was very salty. Jovial atmosphere but very loud and hard to carry a conversation.

So happy groovy beast is back! Our food was delicious and portions were reasonable. It is a bummer that sides are separate from entrees, which unfortunately adds up when eating out as a family. However, I understand inflation has affected us all, including restaurants! We got the garden salad with strawberry vinaigrette, kids tenders, BBQ tossed tenders, a beer and a margarita The salad was delicious with a house made dressing and a generous serving of juicy grilled chicken tenders. My couldn’t stop raving about the fried tenders and said he has to go back to get more over and over before he had even finished eating! Lastly, my husbands tossed BBQ were tasty and he said the sauce was great!All in all, a good meal, albeit on the more expensive side of casual dining. I’m sure we will be back soon!Ps, please bring back breakfast!!!Parking: Easy parking and plenty of spotsKid-friendliness: We felt comfortable there with our young children

I didn’t care for the grilled cheeseburger but the fries were excellent. I like a regular hamburger. I will definitely go back and try other things on their menu.

The host Nichole is very nice. Our waitress Bea did a great job. I got the Buffalo wings with blue cheese dressing. I was surprised to see how small the wings were. The wings were some of the worst I ever eaten.They didn't taste like Buffalo sauce at all. They had no season on them and no favor.The blue cheese dressing was water down, so much it had no taste.I was surprised that, no one in management came to my table.After I told the waitress about the food; she never returned to the table.Just a bad experience!I will return and try them one more time.

Groovy Beast offers great burgers, ample seating, and a huge bar with plenty of stools. Everything ordered by our group of 7 tasted great, and the service was superb, even during the lunch rush.

A little expensive now and now you're entres' no longer come with side items. The food is still good for sure but this burger isn't worth 10$ without a side, and this cheese steak doesn't even have real cheese and it's 12$. Plus now they don't serve breakfast ?. I'm sad and was so excited to come to the new place but now I'm slightly disappointed. A normal dinner with side and drink for one person would be approximately 20$
