Grover’s grub grabs your tongue

It’s Sunday night, you have invited all your friends over to watch the big game, and you are about to go pick up wings at one of those major chains to have snacks for the night. 

Before you hand over your money to the corporate chains that care more about the money than the food, think of Grover’s Finger and Wings. 

Michael Graham, owner, created Grover’s as a quaint, locally owned, restaurant that serves everything from country fried steak for breakfast to fried green BLT’s for dinner. They have five tables inside and three outside that stay filled. 

He is the only one of his family that works at Grover’s, but where Grover’s truly shines is in the title of the restaurant: Fingers and wings. 

With 18 different flavors, including the traditional hot, mild and barbecue, and more unique flavors like Dijon horseradish, Cajun Ranch, Asian sweet chili and curry, there is surely something everyone will enjoy. They even have a 100-wing or finger item on the menu to cover those really big gatherings. 

I ordered the honey barbeque wings and could not have been happier with the result. 

The wings are plump, juicy and delicious. One wing is about the size of two wings from Wings To Go. They are served with a very generously sized helping of ranch; this is great because you don’t have to worry about using all of it before reaching your final wing. 

Food is not the only place that this local gem excels. 

Milkshakes and desserts are a fantastic way to finish up your meal after a plate full of wings. Flavor burst ice cream cones are the new craze at Grover’s. 

These are soft-serve ice cream cones that are vanilla mixed with different flavors like chocolate, banana, strawberry, cherry, grape, orange and more. 

Topping off the homely restaurant is popular music in the background, songs like “Teenage Dream” by Katy Perry and “Say Hey (I Love You)” by Michael Franti and the Spearhead were a couple of the songs played on the jukebox. 

The place isn’t a first-date type of restaurant. But when you are looking for great food in hurry and a friendly environment, Grover’s is the place to go. 

Grover’s is located at 9418 N. Davis Hwy. The hours of operation have just been extended to 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.
