Server Susan, took forever with service. Took care of every table around us, but not us. App never came. Brought wrong drinks. When drinks came wrong garnish. Clearly didn’t want to take care of a table that had kids. Will not come back. It’s a shame it’s a nice patio.

Michaela was an amazing server!! Food was fabulous. The Prime rib grinder and The cheese. Curds were exactly as I wanted. And plenty of them. A nice salad. A good meal all around. I’ll definitely be back to try some more of their food.

Is it wrong to love a restaurant mostly for the vibe? Sure, I care about the food—we all do—but in this case, the atmosphere stole the show. What really made the night special wasn’t just what was on the plate, but what was in the air: live blues music that took me right back to my roots. Being a true Chicagoan, I remember my first visit to Maxwell Street in the late '60s. Back then, the area was known as Jew Town—not in a derogatory way, but because many of the businesses there were owned by Jewish families. Little factories lined the streets, making socks and all sorts of goods. And, of course, that’s where the famous Maxwell Street Polish sandwich was born. But what really stuck with me were the blues players. I remember seeing legends like Buddy Guy, Willie Dixon, and Junior Wells, just playing on the street like it was the most natural thing in the world. It wasn’t unusual to see big names jamming with local talent. The music was electric—pure magic. So when I recently found myself in Spring Grove and ended up at The Grove for a bite, it was more than just dinner—it was a little trip down memory lane. Great blues, cold drinks, and a laid-back vibe? Count me in. I’ll definitely be back for the music—and maybe a sandwich, too. Being a Photographer I took these photos of the players.

The calamari and crispy fish tacos were good. I thought both were lacking flavor though, especially the calamari. Maybe serve with some lemon wedges? I have to say the calamari were perfectly done. Light crispy breading and not chewy. Nachos were good. Server never mentioned her name and didn't seem very happy to be there. I know sometimes people have off days. Nice place and the rest of the staff was great. We'll be back.
