Reviews for The Grove Restaurant in Upper Marlboro, MD

Wonderful experience with Tony and staff at The Grove. Hosted a Birthday Brunch with 12 guests. Food, Champagne, and overall... Service were SUPERB!! Planning more events at The Grove in the future. Thanks so much for being FANTASTIC!! Dr. Gail November202/ Read more

The service is on point in this place. Gary is an Excellent server. Beyond his attentiveness, I was not impressed with the... buffet the food nor he cost. First, the buffet is extremely small and you can't even request made to order eggs. You can onlyhave the scramble eggs from the carton. You can't request an omelet or over easy eggs etc. Secondly, they do not have a widearray of food on the buffet for example no cereal, oatmeal, or bread, Limited pastries and cookies, Third the chicken was bothgreasy and dry at the same time and all I saw available were thighs. Fourth the people serve you. All the above-mentioned issuesare a means to cut their cost and reduce food waste. Specifically, the fixing of plates for guest. If you want to fix my plateand serve me then have the option of off the menu and the buffet. Then you can serve the guest that wish to be served. Finally,I appreciate that pandemic has impacted the cost of everything but the carpet and tables need a remodel. The cost is $30 anddoes not even include one mimosa. There are a lot more options in the DMV with good food, better ambience, and a with a lowerprice tag. I would not eat brunch here again nor recommend to others looking for good good food. Read more

If I could give them NO STARS I WOULD. Bad service, or should I so no service. Taco Tuesday, it took 1 1/2 hours to get Tacos... and then they came out wrong. I do not recommend this place... So sad!!! Read more

In town for Father's day and we walked in. Luckily they had an opening as they usually take reservations. It was buffet option... only. The choices were good. The waffles were my favorite, no lie had 7 of them so got my money's worth out of the buffet. Theyhad an omelets station in the back also. Our server Kim was very nice and attentive. They also don't hold the bubbles if youlike your mimosas stronger. Read more

I have had many opportunities to dine at The Grove Restaurant.I have been very satisfied with the menu items, portion size and... service. All the servers, especially Gary, do a really good job of offering the best customer service possible. Read more

We were there for brunch and the service was great, but the food was less than adequate. The music was accommodating. There... were two sides where the food was being served, but only one side had plates. I made a suggest to have plates on both sides ofthe room, but nothing was done about it. People were asking them to have plates on both sides. I don’t know who the cookwas, but suggest a new one for brunch. I’ve been to this place for HH and the food was great. The charges they charged wereridiculous. Please get better with brunch! Read more

I dined here in on a Sunday afternoon in Feb. Although everyone was not totally happy with their meals, we had a great time,... and all 9 went home feeling fine. Why? It was because of our server who was excellent, and she went out of her way, with justone hour to closing, to accommodate us. The kitchen was perhaps in shut down mode which made the wait for the entrees a bitlong, and some items were unavailable. Our nice server made the most of the situation. We had appetizers - buffalo wings, crabdip and mac & cheese with braised beef. The first 2 were great, however the dippers for the crab dip were too few for our largegroup, so we asked our server for some chips. She graciously complied bringing us the best old bay chips - simply delicious withor without the dip. I did not taste the mac mixture bc it sounded weird. Three out of 4 who tried it did not like it. It’sgreat to go with a big group so you can try new things and share appetizers without filling up too much before your real meal. Most of our entrees were very good according to others in the group. Twopeople who ordered burgers (photo below) were very happy, and having tasted the sweet potato fries, I can say they weredelicious. The crab cake was a generous size and I heard no complaint from, without a doubt, the best cook at the table. Thekids meals looked good, and there were no complaints from the 2 picky eaters. Two of us ordered chicken curry (see the photobelow). Big mistake - like ordering fessant au glass at a seafood restaurant or pork ribs at a Japanese Steak House. Still thechicken was tender and the broccolis was good. Only the sauce was lacking, hey, but what’s in a name? If I’d never had REALcurry chicken, I wouldn’t have been disappointed, right? One person had steak which looked very good but, was reportedly overcooked. Still if presentation and looks are prime, that dish and all others deserve an A. Desserts were all Read more
