Big Grove Tavern

Occupying the former Jim Gould, Big Grove Tavern focuses on locally-sourced food and drinks. Terrific house-seasoned popcorn , extensive beer menu , and attentive staff makes Big Grove a necessary stop!

Tavern burger with Red Onion Marmalade and greens (salad ) is good. Friendly service and a good selection of beers .

The tater tots are AMAZING. Probably some of the best food I've ever ate. I can see what the hype was about on South Park regarding the creme fraiche .

Great menu and beer on tap . Fantastic heated outdoor seating just in time for a pandemic.

Great egg sandwich at brunch on weekends, but be careful! The yolk will jump out and you'll end up wearing it. Take the toast off and break the yolk before you bite.

Lots of favorites. Chicken liver pate appetizer . Any of salads . Chicken and waffles . Fantastic burger . Etc etc etc.

They have it all.. Drinks, delicious food and ambience. Order up a deviled egg and soak it in.

The burger w/ a fried egg was pretty good, and the bread pudding was decadent and delicious

Loved the crab cakes , definitely a success. Try the chicken with dumplings !

The staff is very nice and accommodating to large groups. Good food besides the stack burger .

Pork tenderloin was incredible... and this is coming from a girl who grew up on a pork farm .

The chicken wings with korean sauce was super 👍🏼

Beakie is their party planner. Yes they can host your party! Try it out. Big room .

The chef has an aversion to sauces. There was no gravy on the poutine , no blue cheese on the black & bleu burger and no dressing on the salad .

Great patio , friendly staff and tasty food!

YUM! Will make a kids grilled cheese as well as naked chicken tenders with fries .

Very cool vibe...and the pork belly is always awesome!

Get the Mac and Cheese as an appetizer to share!

Don't miss a look at the beautiful driftwood hanging over the bar .

Try the Bloody Mary

Best outdoor seating in Champaign-Urbana.

Variety, farm fresh foods

Seasonal menu and outdoor seating .

The bartender Steve is hot. And amazing at making drinks.

The tomato sauce with the Bistro Filet is amazing!

Ask for Sam, she will take great care of you!

Minimal and sleek atmosphere. Not too stuffy not too casual .

Get the homemade pretzels . No, seriously, GET THEM.

The changing popcorn flavors are phenomenal!

Don't be fooled by the "tavern" in the name... this is fine dining food worth the price.

SAVE ROOM FOR DESSERT .

If you want to pay for expensive tiny meals, then this is your place

Avoid the green beans . Undercooked, too much lemon , and the beans themselves are old and wrinkled!
