So much to say about this place. The atmosphere is great, plenty of space for people to gather and talk. There are 2 fully stocked bars and a nice patio area too. The food is out of this world delicious. They don’t have an extensive menu here but everything we got was fantastic. The star was the fire chicken bao buns. There were a couple of downfalls, the noise was a little loud and the service was terrible. To be honest if we would have a different server this place would have gotten 5 stars for sure! I have put this place on my favorites list and already have plans to go back to try other menu items!

This is a wonderful gathering spot to meet up with small or even large groups. They have so much space! Plus, it’s a beautiful space to grab a drink in a nice day! We love taking visitors from out of state here. Their beers are also delicious. Service has always been decent (quick and friendly). This is all I can speak on since I have not tried their food.

Big Grove is a big place with big food and big drinks and fun times for all. There’s a ton of seating indoors and on the patio and astroturf, so you can relax with friends and play Cornhole or watch the game inside or more. Tons of beers on tap for whatever kind you like to sip, and ciders and wines as well. Menu is yummy, with your typical burgers and fries but also options like Thai green curry, which I got and enjoyed. It’s easy to spend hours here

Great atmosphere including bar and patio area. Every beer I tried was excellent, which included the West Eddy IPA, Rye Rustic Farmhouse Ale, and the Satisfied Fool Lager. The Farmhouse burger was fantastic as well as the fries that came on the side. I highly recommend stopping in, you will not be disappointed.

I truly enjoyed this place. The pretzel OMG best I’ve ever had. The beer didn’t disappoint. Our group had the Jabroni and Moon Rabbit and they were super tasty and light. The Good Grove was my favorite. The atmosphere and service were really good. I’m looking forward to returning.

The food here was really good. The Royal Easy Eddy was my favorite beer. We will definitely be back. The inside of the taphouse was very spacious.

Fantastic gathering point for groups to meet, chill, eat and drink. I love the outdoor space and their picnic tables can seat 9-10 if needed. The menu has a lot of variety, but I think their appetizers are the best. The pretzel and the cauliflower wings are unbelievable. The cauliflower wings are better than the chicken even—that good. They have cocktails, seltzers, and beer so there’s something for everyone. Plenty of parking around. We’ll definitely be back here!

2nd Big Grove location, OG being in Iowa City. The space is really nice and spacious with all kinds of indoor and outdoor seating options. Place was buzzing on a summer Saturday and the service was up to the challenge. Tried a flight of their beers that are brewed on the premises. Decent brews, better scene.

This place is fantastic. Great atmosphere. The place was hopping during lunch on a Friday. Great food and fast service. Had the white cheddar cheesesteak. A little underwhelming for $18 but it was still good.

Most of the food was good. The pretzels are good & fries are yummy. My friend got the Brisket Mac N Cheese and didn’t love it. She said it had buffalo sauce on it and didn’t feel like it was meant for that dish and instead of the noodles being cheesy, they were more of a butter noodle. I got the fried chicken sandwhich. It was alright, the chicken or breading needs more flavor/seasoning. It was pretty bland. The drinks were good. Our server was the downfall. We had to keep asking other staff to help us as they walked by because our server never checked in on us. Ultimately a manager (i think) ended up giving us our check and he was a super friendly guy. The atmosphere is great and there is lots of space and seating.
