โข Color TV
โข Batch 1000
โข Turtle Hunter
โข Solon Summer Series Peach Pecan Pie
โข Stouted Nut Roll ๐

A specialty Big Grove-themed coloring book will be available for the kids. And we’ve added a from-your-table scavenger hunt with prizes. No chalk contest this year, unfortunately.
Our chefs will be doing a smoked pork shoulder taco special and the bakers are whipping up Sweet Corn Cheesecake and cupcakes! Our fabulous service staff brings the goods to your table.
We’ll have live music from 12-6, made up of former and current staff members.
We’re grateful to be celebrating a seventh anniversary. Back in 2013, we weren’t sure if we’d even have a one-year anniversaryโand it’s been a fun ride every day since. This year’s been a doozyโbut we believe we can celebrate responsibly. We’d be honored if you could join us.
As in year’s past, we will be open on Labor Day Monday ๐
