Solid spot. The Spicy Tenders 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 Korean BBQ Wings stole the show. The staff genuinely seemed to enjoy being there which makes a difference. Cannot recommend enough.
Brought the family on a Saturday and we all walked out happy. Kids loved their food, my partner ordered the Nashville Hot Sandwich and finished every bite. Prices feel fair for the portions. The dining room was a little loud but that's expected on weekends.
Grove Yard has become my regular weekday lunch. Consistent quality, generous portions, and the staff has started to recognize me. I usually grab the Nashville Hot Sandwich but I've worked through most of the menu and haven't had a miss yet.
