Fontana's Banquet Center & Grove

We held our Company employee picnic just this past weekend. Everything was perfectly set up, the food was excellent, the grounds were perfect for bounce houses, balloon creations, basketball, and ice cream truck, corn hole, horseshoes. There was something for everyone. Bartender and customer service people were helpful and happy. Not sure if they had a hand in the weather, but that was perfect too. Our party was over 400 strong. We'll be sure to book again next year! Highly recommended.

The JFK community couldn’t have asked for a better venue for our All-Years Reunion! Hosting over 400 people is no small task, but everything ran smoothly from start to finish. The space was spacious, well-organized, and perfectly suited for reconnecting and celebrating together. The staff was professional, friendly, and incredibly accommodating. Truly a memorable event in a fantastic setting! Thank you so much making our evening a memorable one!

I attend their live music event on Mondays. Cool music, good food, and drinks. They just started a cornhole tournament too. Considering giving it a try next time.
This last week they added lights to the building and it looks really good. Happy to see the continued improvement of the venue under the new management! Now I need a reason to host a party there ;-)

Amazing place to host our event!
Friendly staff, organized, clean and perfect size venue with ample parking!

6/22/25 we had a picnic for out local union and I have to say that everything was exceptional. The new owners have really put a fresh look on the grove and made some great improvements. Our group had the chicken BBQ and it was amazing along with the delicious sides we chose. The new bar gives a lot of options as well to keep all of your guests happy. Plenty of a games for the kids also made it great to keep the kids happy as happy kids always means happy parents. Thanks again to the team for a ll of your hard work and helping to make our event a success!!

It's a nice little location. There's a big pavilion with room for large groups. There were large grills on site and a soda fountain. I gave this 3 stars because there is room for upgrades. The basketball hoop could use an upgrade. Maybe a probase for the hoop so it could be more permanent and sturdy. The volleyball court could use some sand and a volleyball that wasn't flat... Also a new net. Maybe some hammocks or a nice outdoor fire pit. Just some minor improvements would turn this place into the go to spot for large functions. The horseshoe pit was great and there is grassy areas to play yard games in. The thruway is close by but it doesn't seem to be a factor as far as congestion or Car fumes. Lots of parking available and it's right by a gas station which thought was convenient. Would recommend this place for events.

Fun event, pleasant venue. The food was good, the bathrooms were clean and there was plenty of parking. Pavilion was large enough to accommodate our large crowd. We look forward to next year .

Had a great time today. Nice to seefriends I use to work with.

It's a great place well organized

I always look forward to attending functions at Fontana's Grove. The food they prepare and serve is delicious and the workers are always very pleasant and helpful

It was our reunion get together. Great food great seeing everyone! Great weather!

Gr8 meeting place! Gr8 food!

Would never support this place knowing Kathy and her fellow demonrats were welcomed guests there tomorrow.

Great, safe, private spot for a party picnic!

Old and shabby. Noisy as ifs right by the thruway.
