Grover’s Bar and Grill

I wish I could give this place a zero. I never had such bad service in my life. Definitely better restaurants in the area. Plus the waitresses were just rude.

Terrible service… Great karaōke.
From the moment we walked in not one worker acknowledged us. We waited 20 minutes before going to the bar to ask for a menu. She never came to take our order, when we went to the bar to order she didn’t write down anything… We had to repeat ourselves three times. Our appetizer never came out. 35 minutes later she came out with a wrong order. Came back out with our food but it was cold. Mistakes happen but our server was so rude and didn’t care at all that she was giving horrible service. Definitely will never go back.

I would give this place a 4^th star but the menu is limited to the usual bar fare. However, the burgers are very good. Not sure why one reviewer called theirs «thin» because the burgers are a true half-​pound. I’ve had three of the different types of prepared burgers and all of them were delicious. Great flavor and fresh. I do recommend this place but the coleslaw is the absolute worst.

I went here and ordered a burger which was so thin and the bun thinner. The bun was paper thin and the burger was greasy, so you could not pick it up because the bun was so thin and greasy. I felt sick after I ate there — glad I only ate ½ the burger. The glasses are plastic and looked dirty and the burger was served in a plastic basket with paper. The restaurant was dirty, no service. So disappointed after going to Salsa’s for 10 years — the previous restaurant at this location.

Not even good for a bar. Prices are low but you get what you pay for. Small portions, overcooked, dry food (we had a burger, pizza and the fish fry) that tastes like they bought it frozen at GFS and heated it up. Save yourself some money — you can do that yourself. It is also very cold in there as there are many doors to the place. Careful where you sit or you’ll freeze. The only positive was there are a lot of nice televisions. But you won’t be comfortable or full while you watch the big game. Service was slow.

We were looking forward to visiting and are happy to see a good place take the space. We had our standby meals, which included a burger with a beautiful sunny-​side up fried egg and a buffalo chicken wrap. The fries were great, too! The meal arrived super hot (read fresh) and the server was very kind. We will be back!

I LOVE THIS PLACE! They have the best turkey burgers and onion rings! Their pizza is good as well. The service is excellent. Each time I have been there, the staff has been pleasant and professional but mostly accommodating. If you want some privacy you can always go away from the bar area and into in the room in back. They have music, dart boards, pool tables and plenty of seating. They have some pretty interesting items on their menu that I will eventually try since Grover’s is my first choice when I want to eat out or do take out. I would definitely give them a chance, you won’t be disappointed!

I heard their pizza is pretty good but as we had pizza the day before I opted for the Buffalo Chicken wrap.
It was like a tortilla with buffalo sauce drenched in french dressing.
Liquor selection was minimal but the owner is interested in expanding and very service oriented.
However, this place needs to do something different — perhaps the pizza will help but they are competing with Dead End on that and the Tracks for just about everything else.
More of the same — I give this place a year — maybe 2.

I’ve lived in FRG for a little over a year & am in my late 20s. After living in Chicago for 9 years and having a million bars to choose from it was a culture shock moving here. Every place in FRG is a dive, falling apart, and while there is charm in this for a while I’ve been hoping that a place with bathroom stall doors, clean glasses, and more on tap than Budweiser would open up. Then Grovers opened & my prayers were answered. Anybody complaining about prices at this place is NUTS! I had the Grover Wrap which tasted pretty good & was about $ 8 (includes fries). The service was extremely friendly, there are plenty of TVs to watch the game, and the fact that they serve Brewdog beer & Delerium Tremens is icing on the cake. This is a place that Fox River Grove needs! This building was vacant for ten years, and you have a downtown with nothing but abandoned buildings, a smoke shop, a pawn shop. This isn’t Detroit, and Fox River Grove needs more places like this. We have a beautiful location & a beautiful downtown area, and thankfully someone took advantage of it for once. Thank you for opening Grovers!

I. Stopped in for a drink after FRG village hall meeting. No food after? pm, so had a glass of housewine. Wine is obviously not their main offering. A small glass, not quite laughable, but SMALL. $ 6.00 for that 3 ounces of no name wine per per glass, times 2, plus tip. Fool me once!!!

Been here twice and both times the food has been spot on. First visit was the rte 14 burger, cooked perfect med. Rare. Second visit grover grilled chicken wrap. Again Fantastic. Several TV’s in bar area, didn’t make it to back room. But looks like it can accommodate large parties. FYI Tuesday is $ 1 drafts.
Check this place out. You will not be disappointed.

Stopped by for lunch having seen the place for awhile now — decided it was time. Turned out to be a great decision. Ordered the Grover burger which had pepper cheese, onion, a poblano pepper and a slightly tangy sauce on it. Honestly, it was one of the better burgers I’ve had in awhile. Cooked exactly as ordered, a bit of a grill taste to it and juicy as it could be.
Will definitely return, maybe after work when I can enjoy a drink or two.

Fish fry Friday, Taco Tuesday Chimichangas and tacos, and daily specials are more than on point! Great for parties, fundraisers, friends, and family. Plus when you eat there you can be proud of yourself for supporting your local community.

Went to Grover’s for lunch on Saturday for the first time, Alexandra the server was great, tried a burger and my eye candy had the thin crust pizza. Both were tasty and the Bell’s Dark Ale was cold and refreshing. Liked the redo of the place and the new patio area will be opening in a couple of weeks. Plan to stop by again soon.

I have to say after living in Fox Rover Grove for 11 years it was nice to see this building which was vacant at least 10 years finally have a new business.
I finally had made it in after it being open for a few months. I strolled in about 9:30pm during the week and it wasn’t busy at all understandably. The place was okay inside. Being that it’s a new joint it seemed somewhat old and worn already.
I appreciated the bartender girl greeting me, being social and talkative. A lot of places may have dry unsociable bartenders, men as well as women and that often makes me stay away. And, there’s more than a few places in the region with that.
I ordered a buffalo chicken sandwich with fries. A standard bar and grill plate for me to gauge the overall food. The sesame seed bun was sort of dry, the chicken was breaded (my choice) but a bit over cooked and crunchy. The fries were lite on the portion but nothing special. They reminded me of the hot dog joint Mr Beefy’s fries just down from Grovers.
One disturbing issue I had was overhearing a couple of the staff complaining of newly recent rules such as fining the night before bartender $ 50 if the bar is messy or dirty the next day. There was a couple of other complaints which I’ll spare. Nonetheless I got the impression that the management or owner are a bit strict and possibly unfair.
The place did not impress me at all I have to say. Will I try Grovers again? Most likely. But, if I have a similar experience again as the fore mentioned then that’d be it. Just like Kelsey Road House or Tinmans. I don’t bother with those places at all.

We have been to Grovers twice and both times we have had great service and the food is really good! We ordered the margarita and bbq chicken pizza, both were great. My husband, a big wing critic, and he gave them a thumbs up and the salads look really big. We’re here tonight for a Hawks game and a the place is packed! We’re a fan, we’ll be back soon.

Great place to stop when you don’t want to cook and want FRESH food. Nothing frozen here. After 2 visits can say tried quite the variety and everything’s was great! Wings were tasty and light. Both regular and turkey burgers were flavorful and juicy. Salads fresh and crisp. Drinks very reasonable. Can not wait to be able to sit outside.

There food is AMAZING! The food is fresh and hot. It is inexpensive and extremely delicious! The burgers are juicy and the fries are crispy. The drinks are smooth as well. The service is wonderful and fast! The drink prices are more than reasonable. I will come back!

Great atmosphere, food was great too. Lots of high quality tv’s to watch the stanley cup playoffs!

Great place to watch the game. Surprised by how nice it is inside. We brought the kids and they enjoyed playing pool and darts. Definitely need to check this place out.
