Solid spot. The Double Cheeseburger is a standout — bold flavors, well-seasoned, comes out hot. Took off a star only because the wait at the counter was longer than I expected on a weekday. Still, I'd come back without hesitation.
Honestly impressed. We tried three different items between the table and the Truffle Fries stole the show. The staff genuinely seemed to enjoy being there which makes a difference. Cannot recommend enough.
Grove Table has become my regular weekday lunch. Consistent quality, generous portions, and the staff has started to recognize me. I usually grab the Double Cheeseburger but I've worked through most of the menu and haven't had a miss yet.
I work nearby and stop in at least twice a week. The Bacon Avocado Burger hits every time. Service is quick, the space is clean, and they take dietary requests seriously which I appreciate. Easy five stars from me.
Mixed feelings. The Hand-spun Milkshake was excellent and the cashier was friendly, but my side came out cold and they were out of two of the things I wanted to order. Probably worth another try, but not the experience I was hoping for.
