General Info

At Big Grove Tavern, we celebrate the true sense of the word tavern. The heart and soul of a community, the tavern is a warm and welcoming place bringing together both visitors and locals. Our mission is to source local and farm fresh ingredients whenever possible - not only to create delicious dishes, but to also help support our neighbors. Our name comes from a large stand of trees called, "The Big Grove," which offered shelter from the wide open prairie skies during the earliest days of our community. Now known as Busey Woods, you can still see the remnant of Big Grove in Urbana today. Whether you're from Champaign, Urbana, the University, the surrounding towns or a visitor -ALL are welcome at Big Grove. Eat, drink and think local.At Big Grove Tavern, we celebrate the true sense of the word tavern.
