what PEOPLE ARE sayING
about events
at big grove tavern…

“We were in town for a wedding; we ate lunch at Big Grove Tavern and also organized (and attended) a 25-person post-wedding brunch. Both were positive experiences. The brunch was a step above that….about a dozen breakfast and lunch dishes served buffet-style in a private dining room. As the organizer of the brunch, I made sure to at least taste each dish; without exception, all were excellent (and there were a lot of compliments from the guests on the quality of the food). One guest thought the fried chicken was the best he'd ever eaten; the vegetable skewers were really tasty, and the pea frittata was creative and delicious. My personal favorite was the rosemary potato hash with poblano peppers. We had a number of vegan and vegetarian guests, and the restaurant was very cooperative in making sure their preferences were met. The restaurant assigned two servers, who were so nice and attentive that I gave each an additional cash tip beyond the gratuity built into the bill. Beverages were refilled in the blink of an eye. The room was spotless, and quiet. I have to add a shoutout to the restaurant's private events organizer, Pamella, who was a joy to work with and made a complex task go smoothly and without a glitch (she and the restaurant owner were both on hand at the start of the brunch to double-check, a hands-on management style that I appreciate). If you are organizing a special event meal in Champaign-Urbana, I suggest looking at this well-run restaurant.

“ We could see that your folks were hustling hard and they made sure our group was never left wanting, from drinks and appetizers through desserts. I greatly appreciate how efficiently you set us up, and our experience at Big Grove Tavern.

Thank you for making it happen.”

"Pamella has been outstanding in her role at Big Grove Tavern as we have built our professional relationship! She has been dedicated and incredibly helpful in working with our office when we host large business parties and agent training lunches in their private (and beautiful) event spaces. We absolutely recommend both Big Grove and Pamella!"."
