Babcock's Grove House

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.

5 stars is not enough for Babcock's. The young staff is lively and efficient. Our server, Lydia, was on point with her recommendations. I had the chicken schnitzel, which was piping hot and served with mashed potatoes that tasted like homemade and perfectly seasoned mixed vegetables. Oh! Be sure to try the fried pickles appetizer! They're thinly sliced and not overly salty. My husband enjoyed the meatloaf, also served with mashed potatoes and mixed vegeys. Save room for dessert! The banoffee pie was heavenly. I cannot wait for my return visit.

We met up with an old friend for lunch here and it was the perfect spot. Our first impression when we stepped inside was that this was a cool space. It was a beautiful day outside so we ended up eating in their outdoor dining section. They explained we could order from inside and then they would bring the food out. They had some really unique items on the menu such as Buffalo cheese curds, new England shrimp rolls, pulled pork pie, as well as gourmet burgers, schnitzel flats, and a fried chicken sandwich which I had and would definitely recommend. The prices were very reasonable (I can only vouch for lunch) and we had a great experience overall. Will definitely make this one of our go to spots in Lombard.

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!

My husband's and my favorite Lombard spot! I always go for the Unity Vibration Kombucha Beer, but their wine selection is usually good too. You also have to get their cheese curds. so good. All of their food is awesome. The place has a great ambiance. The owners and staff are super nice! We've been coming here for 6 years and will definitely miss it when we move.
