Grumpy’s

As other reviewers stated, very friendly service in a clean, simple place with a few nostalgic decorations. My dad and I were the only ones dining in at 3:20pm and some might say the service was still a bit slow, but we were in no hurry. Then I noticed that a couple of people dropped by to pick up to-​go orders, so the staff were not slacking.
We both had a bowl of seafood gumbo and also a half po-​boy (ham for him, shrimp for me). And there were at least 10 other things that I wanted to order but didn’t because I would be stuffed (and at the end, I was indeed stuffed). By the way, the Unilocal description is inaccurate with respect to alcohol; they do have a few common domestic beers.
The bowl of gumbo was large and tasty but initially disappointing because the shrimp were quite small. I’m a fan of fewer but larger shrimp, although admittedly most gumbo I’ve had has had similarly small shrimp. I don’t know which way is traditional or if there even is a single tradition. Nonetheless, it turned out that we got so many small ones that we had a shrimp in every bite. The half po-​boys were equally generous (and mine had quite a few medium-​sized shrimp on it). I really wanted some boudin balls as an app and some ice cream later, but there just wasn’t enough room.

Down home cooking, delightful service, everything here is a good eat. Thank you!
Custom shakes made to order the old fashioned way… most excellent
Able to cater to special dietary needs
An absolute, rockin delight!
Sit back and enjoy southern cooking and hospitality at its finest!

So happy we stopped by! I love little finds like this. My husband had the club. He said it was great and would come back again for it. I had the grilled chicken Po Boy; the seasoning of the chicken and the grilled onions and mushrooms made it absolutely delicious! We will definitely be going back again. Everything was very clean. Service was excellent, loved her humor (:

Stop by after reading other reviews, we also like supporting smaller restaurants instead of the chain food restaurants. I ordered the catfish poboy with a small side order of potato salad. The poboy was great and potato salad was homemade which was awesome. Husband ordered catfish & shrimp platter, fish and shrimp were crispy and seasoned just right.
We will definitely stop back in when we are in the area.

I have been coming to Grumpy’s since I was in high school and I am now in my early thirties. I moved away and have not eaten there in a couple years. Today I ordered a cheeseburger combo and it is still as good as I remember it! I’ve always loved their big, thick steak fries with seasoning on them. Yummy! The hamburger is big, thick, and juicy. Just a little tip. Sometimes they can get really busy so if you are short on time call ahead and order. Also, the owner there is super sweet and when I was younger and used to call to order she would remember my name and my favorite drink and meal. That’s pretty cool. I would definitely recommend Grumpy’s!

A clean, southern diner. Ordered shrimp and catfish po-​boys. Dynamite. Still yearn for their flavor after sampling the legendary Johnny’s Po-​boys in New Orleans, which couldn’t touch these.
