This is a pretty lively place with a bright cheery atmosphere at a great central location in downtown. Food was good, but nothing to write home about. We felt that about both the steak medallions and the burger we ordered. Another thing to keep in mind: their barbecue sauce is called coffee barbecue. It literally smells and tastes like coffee. I personally liked it, but my son did not at all and could not eat his Hickory burger because of it. It’s an acquired taste and something to keep in mind when ordering anything with barbecue sauce at this place. Service was overall good… with one wrinkle that I describe below if you’re interested to read the details. Overall, a decent place to try out. Here’s the wrinkle I mentioned above: A couple of us had the steak medallions. It’s just three small, two-bite steak pieces with a bunch of fries on the plate for $29. That would’ve been fine for a good piece of steak, but the cut of steak we got was not good. Super hard to cut and chewy (it was requested to be prepared Medium). When CJ, our waiter, asked about how things are going, I told him what I felt about it honestly. To his credit, CJ said he would get the manager so I can relay that feedback directly. Then I saw him talking to the manager about 15 feet from me. Instead of the manager, CJ came back alone to say that the manager said they could have some new steak pieces prepared - which they eventually did and since those new pieces took about 25 minutes to arrive at our table, CJ graciously even comped the dish. Thank you CJ. I appreciate this service you provided. Some feedback for the manager: Thank you for accommodating us as your customer and listening to the feedback. It would have been even nicer if you had just come over to the table yourself since it was not that busy at that time. That would’ve been a nice courteous gesture that I would’ve appreciated.

Average breakfasts. Deserts are good and quite big portions. The best churros I have ever had. The problem is that they do not serve them always. Churros are only available at weekends if it is not a special weekends. Service Dine in Meal type Breakfast Price per person $20–30 Food: 3 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 4 Recommended dishes Salad

A total waste of money. Big Grove Tavern? More like Tiny Branch Tavern! For starters, upon entering the restaurant, the greeter simply awkwardly stared at us and it was just weird, and we proceeded to ask for a table. She was hesitant and not friendly, it was just awkward. Did not feel welcome at all. For our appetizers, one of the items we ordered was pizza. It tasted like lukewarm frozen pizza. No flavor at all. We also ordered a “special” app, the shrimp ceviche. The tortilla chips were unsalted and unseasoned and were awkward and hard to dip in the ceviche covered in extremely under ripe and hard avacado. For the entrees, one item we ordered was the korean bbq salmon. It was ordered to be cooked medium, but along the middle it was raw, ruining over half of the whole fish. Another entree we ordered was homestyle chicken, which just tasted gross. Also, our waiter never came around to fill out waters even though we placed them at the end of the table and they were empty. Very very disappointed and will never return here. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $30–50 Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 3

Came on a Saturday night for a private reception dinner after a friend’s wedding. The staff was more than happy to let us come an hour and a half early to set up the decorations, and throughout the whole night, they were extremely accommodating and attentive! The service was great, we never had to wait for anything, and they took care to make sure everyone was happy and had what they needed. We had beverage tickets (2 per person) that guests could utilize through the night - and at one point, the staff let those who were drinking know that they could keep on ordering over the allotted 2 drinks because the staff noticed a good number of guests weren’t drinking. Amazing! It allowed us to have a wonderful night with family and friends in a relaxed and cozy atmosphere. Food was great too. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

We didn't realize we needed a reservation but we were able to eat at the bar. The food was delicious and the service was really great and prompt. They had a good drink selection too.

The southwest salad w/ grilled chicken is the best salad i’ve ever had in my entire life. I’ve never made a google review before but I felt the need to for this salad. It’s a perfect dish for when you want something flavorful and filling, but don’t want to be put into a complete food coma afterwards. It even tasted amazing after saving my leftovers in the fridge 24 hours after, no sogginess whatsoever. This is easily one of my favorite meals i’ve ever had in the C-U area.

I had the surf and turf tacos. They tasted so-so but were presented nicely on the plate. I ordered the lemon and ginger drink and waited for it for at least 10 minutes. Never came. Finally I went inside to ask about it and came to find out they ran out of it! Our waiter never told me this. I wanted my drink served the same time my tacos came. So needless to say, my tacos were cold. I'm thankful my friend was treating me and that I wasn't paying! Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $10–20 Food: 2 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 5

We have been coming to Big Grove since it opened in place of Jim Gould's. We have been here for our birthdays, work gatherings and random celebrations. From standard menu items, like the burgers and steak frites, to the specials - the food has always been top notch. And they make a fantastic old fashioned. My husband got a couple pours of bourbon for his birthday and appreciated the extensive bourbon and whiskey options. I feel the restaurant does a fantastic job training their employees. The wait staff is ALWAYS hustling and supporting each other in serving customers. The managers are out on the floor supporting the wait staff. We've always enjoyed the decor and feel of the place. The happy hour specials are great and as stated earlier- the drinks are delicious. I forget which days, but kids can catch a free meal with an adult meal. Just ask- they have always been great about it. One last thing- if you can try them out during restaurant week, do it. It's an excellent sampling of the menu.

Great food, amazing cocktails. I like the mushroom risotto. Brunch is great—get the smoked salmon benedict with hash browns! It helps to have a reservation if going on a Friday night or weekend.

Great place to dine outside. I just loved the patio & courtyard. So well maintained. Great jazz music played on the sound system. We had the Breaded cheesr curds for appetizer and they were sooooo good. Light & flavorful. Marinara sauce is good too. I opted for the Kale & Quinoa add Salmon Salad....delicious and my husband went with Black & Blue Burger...again delicious. Lionel's service was excellent 👌.
