Stopped in on a very hot day out riding motorcycles! It was very comfortable and clean! The food was good had a chicken salad. Will definitely be back to check out their activities! Stop in and see the gang at Catalpa Grove Tavern and make sure you read the menu pretty interesting how the place got started.

Great place. A little out of the way in Central Illinois but worth the trip. Imaginative sandwiches ( I recommend the "Hot for Teacher Burger") and the naked chicken wings were massive. Can't wait to go back. Just of Wyoming IL on Illinois Route 17

A perfect place to stop in if you are out on a motorcycle ride. The food, drinks and atmosphere is great. They have an outside bar and stage. Would be a great place to see a band! Make this a stop, it is worth the drive / ride.

The staff at Catalpa are amazing! They were nice, biker friendly (duh, right) and fun to be around! They were one of the stops on our ride the day we went and they were ready for anything. I personally did not eat but quite a few of our group did. I did not hear one complaint about the food! Everyone who ate something said it was delicious! Ibhave plans to ride back out to eat and pick up a purple tank top, if they have it in stock by then! I did not get out of there not spending money tho... I got an awesome men's mechanics shirt that I LOVE! The skull chair is beautiful and we took a pic on it. The atmosphere is so relaxed and easy going. I def recommend this place if you are out for a ride, are out that way and feeling some hunger pangs.. You will not be disappointed, the area is beautiful. Great outdoor seating for a group on picnic tables or you can go inside to eat and be just as comfy. Do be careful in the parking lot as it is gravel, but if you ride safe you'll be fine. If you don't, do not blame them you were advised. Most def a place to revisit and have fun at!
