"This spot is inside Platypus. This is the best tofu in the world. Separate fryer for my vegan friends. It’s magic in a cube and you gotta splurge and get all the dipping sauces. Is that excessive, absolutely! But who cares, you’re in The Grove. Don’t be boring."

"I visited this restaurant while passing through town on my way back to Chicago. It had a high rating on Google, so I had to check it out. And let me tell you, I was not disappointed. I placed a phone order and the staff quickly made sure my food would be warm upon arrival. They asked how far I was and I said about 30 minutes, to which they responded, "Perfect. We'll start preparing your food now and make sure it's ready when you arrive, nice and warm." I ordered the popcorn chicken, caramelized brussels sprouts, and roasted cauliflower. All three dishes were amazing and exceeded my expectations. The owner Grant was nice enough to ensure I was completely satisfied with the takeout order before I left. That included me doing a taste test before leaving. I highly recommend this restaurant and the bar next door is also a nice place to visit."

"The first thing you see is that beautiful mural on the side of the building! 🌈 The vibe inside is cool with a large bar and indoor and outdoor dining. The food menu is small but packs a punch. The delicious chicken bites come small or large and we opted for fries (one size only). I suggest sharing the fries since there are so many. I prefer skinny fries myself, but loved the homemade ranch to dip them in. They offer Jarritos sodas and Sugarwitch ice cream sandwiches, which I will try next time. I love the Grove for many reasons, but add Eat Duckbill to the list!"

"We tried the popcorn chicken fries sprouts and the cauliflower. Everything was well seasoned and tasted great. Just wish the sides of veggies were offered in a half size. The cauliflower was very very well seasoned. They had a live band setting up. Hudai was the name of the band. They sounded good 👍"

"Grant, the owner and chef, seriously has figured out some real magic here. I got the popcorn chicken, fries, and caramelized brussel sprouts with buffalo and ranch. EVERYTHING was so good!! I don't know the secret, but the chicken was perfectly tender, but had the perfect crispy crunchy outside. Chicken came with pickles that were definitely made in house and so yummy. The buffalo and ranch are also clearly made in house and they're amazing!! His take on the buffalo sauce is REALLY unique - it's got the typical hot sauce vibe you'd expect but there's a sweet and complex twist to it that makes it stand out AND keeps you wanting more! The ranch is nice and thick and definitely does not have any of that hidden valley. There were definitely some complex umami magic happening with the brussel sprouts too. I normally don't like them, but they looked so good in pictures and reviews I had to give them a shot and I'm glad I did!!"
