Babcock's Grove House

Classic American dishes served in a historic building in downtown Lombard. There is a small bar that looks like it was originally there serving local craft beers. Cozy table seating inside along with one booth near the front and another near the back of the restaurant. There is outdoor seating on nice days. Available parking on the street. Before 4p it is counter service. You order at the cashier and they bring your food and drinks to your table via a number they hand you. After 4p it is full table service. Food was great and everything seemed fresh. All the elements of my Green Goddess salad tasted fresh picked. The creamy garlic mushroom soup was delicious. Perfect for garlic lovers. The wings were also delicious and new to me. There was a subtle pickle flavor that really worked and was great with the dill sauce they drizzle over the wings. We had a very enjoyable lunch there and would be happy to come back and try everything else on the menu!

This place is delicious! Food was fantastic. You walk in and order at the counter, are given a number and then food is delivered. Their selections are delicious and fresh and we were all really happy. Kids portions are way too big so that was the only call out. Will def come back!

I have to say first that I pretty much only like medium rare burgers and this restaurant doesn’t serve them that way. So it’s a little unfair to rate them on their burgers but that’s what I ordered. The server said it would be well done, but i decided to give it a try. I got their pub burger. It was ok. My wife had the ginger carrot soup, it was not to our liking. The hummus was ok. The fries were quite good. My son likes his burgers well done, so he was happy. The food came very fast. The service was great, the owner gave us a 3 minute history lesson on the building which was very informative.
