Your Next North Shore Brunch Destination

Looking for the best brunch on the North Shore? Grove at Briar Barn Inn in Rowley, Massachusetts, offers seasonal, farm-to-table dishes with a focus on local ingredients and global flavors.

Set within our post-and-beam barn restaurant, Grove invites guests to relax in our farmhouse setting - or soak up the remaining weeks of outdoor dining on our patio!

With cozy season around the corner, Grove is beginning to transition from summer to fall flavors. Our menus change frequently, but you’ll always find brunch classics like eggs, pancakes, pastries, burgers, sandwiches, salads, and of course, a side of bacon. Sip on our rotating iced coffee flight, almost bottomless mimosa, or a seasonal cocktail to pair with your meal.

Grove offers brunch service on Saturday AND Sunday! We recommend calling or booking a reservation online to make sure we have availability, or to ensure we are not hosting a private event.
