    I really enjoyed this spot! Traveling with my 18 year old who is extremely picky and myself being a pescetarien can make finding some where to eat difficult. They had plenty of seafood options and wings! The vibe was great, our waitress was knowledgeable and friendly, and the price was good!

    Good food, excellent outside terrace, quick service. Kinda on the pricier side - burger and sweet potato fries cost $22 all in.

    Cool hangout place. It had sports bar vibes but also could tell a lot of college kids hangout here. The prices actually matched the portion. I got the chicken tenders basket and the chicken sandwich and it filled me up. The chicken was so juicy and wasn’t frozen it was actually seasoned. The fries however were shoestrings which isn’t anything bad but I prefer other brands. I totally forgot about the tater tots which I should have got because they looked good. Overall it was a nice experience, the parking lot at night is a little sketchy though.

    Finally made it back and this place is better than ever. Great food and cool atmosphere…. Lots of dining areas , a bar and outdoor area. Staff was friendly and seemed to work well together to make your meal a good one. For lunch we had a Texas burger, a Texan would be happy with, and sweet potato chips. My wife had a chicken salad croissant with tater tots. Most satisfying lunch in a long time. We left full and refreshed. Parking can be a challenge, but worth the effort. 2019 Review: Pub style restaurant with friendly atmosphere and good food. Many TVs and background classic rock. Outdoor seating available. Great location and adequate parking. Food is mostly America’s fare with a few wraps salads and burritos. Fun place to come for dinner or drinks.

    Stopped here for a cocktail and some munchies while visiting family in Decatur. Service was excellent as well as the atmosphere of the restaurant. We sat at a high top in the bar area. Cocktails were great - hubby had the Whisky pig old-fashioned and said it was excellent! We ordered tater tots, spring rolls, and pretzel bites. All good as well. Definitely recommend. Would plan to visit again when in the area.

    Atmosphere is great and service is usually nice. The food has unfortunately always been mediocre to me. We’ve tried this place three times and have never found a meal that we truly enjoyed.

    Went there first time on a weekday night and had an average experience overall. The staff was friendly and nice, and apart from the initial delay of cleaning the table, they checked on us periodically. The restaurant itself has a nice vibe and the music is of our liking. There is a good amount of seating outdoors. However, the food was largely average or below average. The Buffalo cauliflower bites didn't have much of a flavor and the veggie nachos had a weird smell. The main course was allright. I had also ordered their house Margarita with salt on the rim which was about average. There is plenty of free parking.

    We have really enjoyed the atmosphere and have liked eating at The Grove over the years. Unfortunately, the quality of food has gone down hill. I had pulled pork sliders before and they were good. Today there was about a teaspoon of what was mostly bbq sauce on buns. It was so bad I only ate two bites of one and told the waitress. She offered something else and brought a side salad but then only took 1/2 off the charge. Then the end of the lettuce was in the salad. My husband paid $14 for a Reuben that only had two slices of meat and didn’t even have meat to the edge of the bread! We won’t be back.

    Great experience! I was immediately greeted at the door with a smile. Rachel (who looks a little like Jennifer Aniston) suggested I sit whenever, so I chose a booth between the well-stocked bar a the side window door with the tree on it. Rachel suggested the Reuben and tots. It was served hot and very fast at the Thursday lunch hour. My Blue Moon draft was cold as was the orange slice. Delicious and just the right portion. Everything was reallly good. Reasonable prices. If you found this review helpful please click like.

    We celebrated my husband's bday there. First visit, but won't be our last. Great service, atmosphere, and the food was delicious!! I also had a drink never tried before and was no longer on their current menu, but because it was on the online menu they made it for me....and it was excellent 👌💯👍. And we were stuffed!! I highly recommend the Grove!!?

    I used to visit a lot when I lived here. it seems they have let go of their quality of ingredients. Food was subpar, basic, and there was nothing to write home about. 3 stars because the staff was amazing. Loved all the servers. Otherwise, I would give them 1 star. The women's bathroom is now next to the servers for their TVs. The door is about 1 inch from the electrical unit when opened wide, small, closed space, stuck in a corner. Probably won't ever return. RIP the Grove.

    Great comfort bar food. They often send you discount coupons if you have the app. At one point try had trivia nights, not sure if they still do that. I really enjoy the tots and homemade ranch dressing!

Josh my server was on it , helped me almost immediately and helpful , friendly and patient . It’s not very crowded while I’m here . Ordered sweet potato fries and Mexican corn bites

  • 1/5 Chatasha P. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was horrible , the bread soggy, the taste flavorless and the wait definitely not worth it . I just feel disappointed that we waited all that time for our food to be wrong , cold, and flavorless . The patty marlt was soggy because they put the salad on the plate with the burger , the patty melt bread was cold, and it was very dry. They did take my child’s food off for being entirely wrong but then told me I’d have to wait about her twenty minutes in order for them to correct it . The drink was not good at all and the waiter definitely had a different service with white patrons . I believe in tipping automatically because it’s the service industry, but this service was …….“” … disappointing from top to bottom

    Perfect neighborhood spot! Always delicious and always great service. I’ve had Ramsey as my server twice now and she has been so sweet each time. The chicken salad and club wrap are both delicious 👍

  • 5/5 Angela P. 1 year ago on Google
    We moved nearby recently and this has become our go to for our family of 4. Laid back neighborhood spot with surprisingly good bar food. Favorites are the chicken salads and sandwiches and Buffalo shrimp. Ordered takeout twice from here when family was in town (per their request). Always courteous service and we enjoy sitting outside when the weather is nice. Great spot to have so close.

    Food was fresh good quality the cook even came out to clarify an exception to the order NICE! Our waitress was spot on! AC was blasting in dining room but outside was damp from recent rain. A sweater over bare arms was perfect but the cold cooled the food a little too fast. I had the rib eye steak burrito companion had the Taco shell salad with chili on top that was huge! And tasty!

  • 3/5 Meghan K. 1 year ago on Google
    The ambiance and location is beautiful and the food is on par with bar food. The hostess sat us at a dirty table and didn’t wipe it down. She also spilled a sugar packet everywhere and left it. The water always taste gross, old taps perhaps. Waitress and manager are super friendly.

  • 5/5 rashanda l. 1 year ago on Google
    If you love good food and being able to bring your pet this is the place! The entire staff was friendly food came quickly. Steak salad was perfect with the best chunky blue cheese dressing in Atlanta. The donut cheesecake will just melt in your mouth served with raspberry drizzle perfect mix of cheesecake and glazed donut...who knew! But honestly being able to go out to eat with my 2 dogs was the best - super dog friendly brought them water and I ordered them a chicken breast to eat. Go today!!!

    Literally never gets old coming here. From the hosts, servers, bartenders to the food… Always a great experience. Beyond friendly staff with delicious food. My brother and I love coming here with our friends to watch a game or catch up from the week. Always a fun time! Thank you for the great food and he eat service! See y’all soon :)

  • 3/5 Jennifer E. 1 year ago on Google
    This was my first time visiting. I got a to go order for me and my coworkers. I got a couple of wraps(one with bacon one without) a sandwich and I ordered fried mozzarella balls. The food was ready in a timely manner BUT… They switched the wraps(I knew because we ordered different sides) which I didn’t realize till after I had them remake it because when I went to eat mine it had bacon on it (this is no big deal and was fixed fast) but then when I got the food back to my coworkers I bit into what was suppose to be a mozzarella ball and got something totally different … something with what looked like rice and peas on the inside so that was totally wrong then my coworker’s sandwich that was suppose to come with bacon did not have any bacon and looked like they pulled some fake deli meat off the shelf and threw it on some basic bread. And they forgot the ketchup for my other coworkers tots(again not a huge deal but add it to everything else it was frustrating) I will say my chicken caeser wrap was good… the fries were good… the ranch for my fries was AMAZING AND the customer service was great. We called and spoke to the manager and he made everything right so I will definitely give this place another try in the future! Maybe they had some new cooks or were just having a rough day(it was Friday the 13th🥴) AND the place was extremely busy so they clearly are doing something right. Looking forward to trying some other menu items

    Food was pretty good and drink was on point. Had a beyond burger and happy about it. Took a star away for restaurant cleanliness, the bathroom was nasty and the fruit flies no bueno.

  • 5/5 Jacquie R. 1 year ago on Google
    Cocktails, too generous with the alcohol portion, need to better balance it. On the other end, the food is excellent; great display of succulent modernized american food. I'll go back.

  • 1/5 Candice K. 1 year ago on Google
    Don’t waste your money. Against my better judgement I was urged to eat lunch here. New to the area it seemed more like a bar and my instincts were correct. Undercooked wings (ordered extra crispy) with only a couple of drums. The rest flats. Wilted salad, with a hair. I will not be back.

  • 5/5 Jabari C. 1 year ago on Google
    It's nice to go to a restaurant that still feels like organic Atlanta - prior to the influx of people and inflation. This restaurant has very good prices, quality flavor, and well-sized proportions. The waitress was very attentive and pleasant. I would definitely bring my family here again.

  • 3/5 Andy G. 2 years ago on Google
    Its a nice neighborhood joint with a small patio. Clean, seems nice, and has a pretty decently sized menu. My two knocks on this place are Service and Price. I felt like my waitress disappeared after my order was taken. I even wanted to get something to go at the end, but after waiting 15 minutes with no sign of her I ran out of time. I did see other servers all the time, so maybe it was just an off day for mine. Dishes seemed pricey for what you get. Buffalo chicken salad came just as the menu stated, but for $13 I would expect more than lettuce, cheese, and tomato.

    Good food and service, always a great place to grab a variety of food. Open and great atmosphere. Nice selection of rotation draft beers. Wish there was better parking.

  • 2/5 andrew c. 2 years ago on Google
    The food was overpriced for the quantity and quality of bar food. The cheese steak was on a narrow hoagie with fine particles of beef and nothing else, no toppings or even cheese. Unfortunately, it was room temp upon arrival because we were waiting on below average-sized wings, priced starting at 75 cents. The only reason for two stars was the suggested house made ranch. Otherwise, I will not return

    Really good service with some different IPA's on tap. Nice menu selection and the outdoor seating has heaters. The wait staff was very attentive and the restaurant was fairly crowded for a Thursday night.
