The Grove - UPPER MARLBORO

In the city for Father's day and we went in. Fortunately, they had an opening as they usually had reservations. It was only buffet option. The elections were good. The waffles were my favorite, no lie had 7 of them so got my money out of the buffet. They also had an omlet station in the back. Our server Kim was very nice and attentive. You also do not hold the bubbles if you like your mimoses stronger.

I had many ways to dine at The Grove restaurant. I was very pleased with the menu items, portion size and service. All servers, especially Gary, do a really good job to provide the best customer service.

I have here on a Sunday afternoon in Feb. Although everyone was not completely satisfied with his meals, we had a great time, and all 9 went home feel good. Why? It was because of our server that was excellent, and she went out of her way to close with only one hour to pick us up. The kitchen was perhaps in the shut-off mode, which was waiting for the Entrees a little long, and some articles were not available. Our nice server made the best of the situation. We had starters buffalo wings, crabs and mac cheese with braided beef. The first 2 were great, but the divers for the crab dive were too few for our big group, so we asked our server for some chips. She has graciously followed us to bring the best old bay chips with or without diving. I didn't taste the mac mix bc it sounded strange. Three out of four who tried it didn't like it. It is great to go with a large group so you can try new things and share appetizers without filling too much before your actual meal. Most of our entrees were very good after others in the group. Two people who ordered burgers (photo below were very happy, and the sweet potato fries tasted, I can say they were delicious. The crab cake was a generous size and I did not hear any complaint from, without doubt, the best cook at the table. The children's dishes looked good, and there were no complaints from the 2 picky eaters. Two of us ordered chickens Curry (see the photo below). Big mistake like ordering Fessant Au glass in a seafood restaurant or pork ribs in a Japanese steak house. Nevertheless, the chicken was tender and the broccoli was good. Only the sauce was missing, hey, but what's in a name? If I never had REAL Curry Chicken, I wouldn't have been disappointed, would I? One person had steak who looked very good, but, was reportedly cooked. Nevertheless, when presentation and appearance are excellent, this dish and all others deserve an A. Desserts were all delicious and cheap from pecan pie to ice sunflowers, and not to forget the delicious cheesecake. Most of us agreed to come back, maybe for brunch or Sunday dinner, but a bit earlier next time. (It seems that people have seen the photo I have taken from the tables and chairs (over 18,000 times). So go out and fill the seats, not you!

Love comes here after a round of golf. The food is always good and the service is wonderful. Ask for Gary.

I live in the Oak Creek Community, and I have frequented this establishment often. Most of the times, I have been underwhelmed with all aspects of the restaurant. However, I can truly say that my most recent experience far exceeded my expectations. The service was excellent and the food was delicious! I believe they are under new mgmt and I think they have a new chef. Keep doing what you are doing Grove...it’s working!
