Family Owned for Over 45 Years!
Originally built in 1933 by the Bertorelli family, the property was known as Maple Grove Tavern and remained in their care until 1949. After a brief change in ownership, it was sold to Lillian “Grandma” Ingraham, who, along with her granddaughter Barney, ran “The Grove” until Grandma’s passing in 1979.
The Capps family had been regulars at The Grove for years—sharing good times, making friends, and building memories. In 1980, Gerry and Dixie Capps decided to turn those memories into a new adventure and purchased the beloved establishment. Their sons, Todd and Tom, carried on the family tradition, running The Grove through the late 1980s until 2003.
In 2003, Todd and Sheri Capps became the sole owners, proudly keeping the spirit of The Grove alive for another 20 years. After four decades of memories, they decided it was time for a new chapter.
That next chapter came with Todd’s daughters, Candace and Sam, who brought a fresh new vision while honoring the legacy their family built. After some thoughtful planning, a few updates, and a touch of remodeling, “The Grove” was reimagined as “The Groovin’ Grove.” Candace leads the way in creating a welcoming, music-filled atmosphere, while Sam, our talented bar manager, crafts the delicious cocktails guests have come to love. The space has evolved into a cozy, lounge-like environment featuring a revamped menu, live music, and the same great burgers that generations of guests have enjoyed.
At The Groovin’ Grove, our goal remains the same: to create a place where you can enjoy great food, great fun, and lasting memories.
Thank you for being part of our story.
— The Capps Family
