Found this place to be perfect for a Thursday evening out with my husband and 5 yr old son. It was about a 10 min walk from our hotel (Shilo), it was lively, so we didn't have to shush our son constantly, the food was yummy - my hubby had the chili (spicy), I had the pulled pork sandwich (bbq sauce was tasty), and our son had a cheeseburger. After a few drinks and our food, we took our son into the game room, where he could race his little heart out.. .. fun for everyone.
P.s.  We found the service  to be good -  we were seated quickly,  and our waitress was very attentive.
We ate upstairs. The atmosphere was really good. Many TVs which they changed to meet out request.
The food was typical "Bar and grill" food and was as good as expected for this type of venue; good but not great.
Bottom line; decent food, fair beer selection, good service, priced reasonably and a good atmosphere.
Good place for a kickback night or to catch a game.
I'm only able to speak to the service and the beer, which unless it's flat, it's all good in my book. Â We stopped into Grumpy's after dinner next door so that we could grab a drink and the boys could play some pool or watch sports. Â We were greeted by a very nice sever who ended up sharing her entire life story by the end of our visit. Â The part about this place that turned me off is the lack of attention everyone gives you while you're there. Â Multiple times I had to go looking for our server to order more drinks or pay our check and I contemplated just leaving because it was so ridiculous. Â Furthermore, when I finally did find our server she gave me a story about how the table in front of us stiffed her after sitting there for hours....can we say unprofessional! Â
Cool place if you are looking for a chill atmosphere and enjoy billiards.
The food was fine, maybe three stars, but the atmosphere gets it another star. You eat upstairs and there was a lot for kids to do, video games, sucker crane games, foosball, pool tables, etc... Each cost many quarters, but they had a blast.
The service was fast and value was reasonable.
Decent Bar food, fun atmosphere plenty of pool tables and TV's.
Don't go here expecting great service because in all the times I have been there, we have always had horrible service. They are usually under staffed and it always takes forever to get a drink from the bar. However, the atmosphere is fun and it's a great place to play pool and hang out with friends watching sports.
This place is about the atmosphere not the food. The coctail servers tend to be hot snowboard chicks and the guys in my party usually enjoy the view.
Good for kids until 10pm when they kick them all out.
Lunch for 9 people
The service wasn't the greatest but the waitress was attentive and brought us water pitchers as we emptied them. Â I did have to flag down a random employee to let them know I needed a table for 9 (nobody greeted me). Â They would not allow us to bring in the dog :( since the patios require you to walk through the inside.
The fries are delicious. Â If I'm in Mammoth again and go here, I will make sure to get fries. Â They are those kind that have seasoned batter, yum! Â The burger was also pretty good, and for $8.50 I was satisfied.
"Tenders & tots" consisted of a huge basket of tater tots and chicken fingers. Â Didn't try them but my cousin said they were yum.
My aunt got the cobb salad and that was really big--she didn't even eat half. Â She also, enjoyed her meal.
Do you want to go home with a grumpy stomach? Â How about a grumpy mood? Â Wanna hang around a bunch of grumpy looking people? Â Look no further than Grumpy's Sports Restaurant!
My Grumpy's experience begins in the parking lot, where the restaurant sign (a creepy looking hick with a long, flowing blonde mustache and psycho eyes) gives me a massive panic attack. Â
"What kind of place is this?" I ask my friend. Â "The only place around with beer and free wi-fi," she says. Â "It's a sports bar, but at least it's not football season." Â Desperate for some beer and wi-fi, I go with it. Â We find a decent-ish table by a window and order a round of beers. Â
Panic attack resumes when I realize that a dead wolf is staring me down, its skin stretched out on the wall like a painting, its face and eyes directly above my head. Gross. Â These beers better hurry up.
Beers are pretty decent and so is the service, so I try to do some internet stuff. Â Yeah, it's not happening. Between the dead wolf, the 15 TV's surrounding me, the leering clientele, the drunken sing-alongs, and the slowly rising temperature (there's no A/C and the sun gradually heats the place into a sauna,) the atmosphere is horrible. Â The place is filled with miserable people on painfully awkward dates, sloppy-belligerent screaming sports fans, and dopplegangers of the guy on the sign: frowning creepers with mad-eyes. Â The only people who aren't grumpy are the wait staff and bartenders, who are all, for some strange reason, extremely hot, smiling young ladies. Â Wait..... is this place owned by Hooters?
We order nachos, which sound kinda good....and taste okay....but not good enough to make up for the ambiance. Â We leave frustrated and cranky. Â That night, we both have horrible stomach problems. Â They can only be from the nachos, because those were our dinner. Â We both have the same symptoms: severe stomach/intestinal pain, nausea, bloated, etc. etc. etc. Â I fall asleep in agony. Â (I normally have a stomach of steel and hardly ever get food poisoning--I can usually eat or drink questionable food/water sources with no problems, so the food must be REALLY bad for this to happen.)
Conclusion: Â Beers and service are pretty decent. Â Atmosphere and food are terrible. Â If you enjoy bad dates, bad moods, panic attacks, dead wolves, and food poisoning, then go for it.
I know why it's called Grumpy's, it's how you feel after the 20 minute wait for a BLT! Â Food is definitely bar quality at too high of a price. Â No refills were ever offered for the soft drinks but I blame that on the understaffing more than the waitress who was very nice. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.
Yelp offers a 15% discount if you "check in" when you are there. Â Trust me, it's not worth it!
Awful. We brought our friends and their three boys here for dinner a few weeks ago. I got foodborne illness from a barely-cooked veggie burger and tasteless fries. The worst part? The waitress forgot to put the kids' orders in, so the adults all had food while the kids had to wait another 15-20 minutes. Then when she brought their food, it wasn't exactly what they wanted. For our inconvenience, they gave us a whopping 10% off the bill (btw, Grumpy's offers this same coupon in local free magazines at VONS). In summary, the food is sub-par and unsafe, the service is non-existent, and the atmosphere is mediocre at best.
Review Source:My 3rd visit was aweful. I ordered the same burger as my last two visits so I can rightfully compare between them. The first two visits were ok although my coworker on the second visit was handed slop that was supposed to be Gumbo looked nothing like it and spilled everywhere by the server. Â He never even apologized to her, to clean up or offer anything and seemed snooty in addition to that mess.
I was giving this place another try...fool that I am. Â I believe in chances to do right. Once again I ordered my Pastrami Burger with Bacon and they asked me how I wanted the meat cooked and I answered med rare. Â When the meal came, the burger was not hot or fresh. Â It was cold and the meat wasn't even pink inside. So I asked the first waitress who walked by if she can replace it. Â She honored my request but came to me the second time without the bacon, and the patty was still not med rare, hot or juicy.
Once again I had to go ask for the bacon since it was an extra money and they offered to give it to me on the side. When I got the side, not only was it tasteless like it was cooked in the microwave..it was even overcooked hard. Â That is how I knew it was microwaved. Â Meat doesn't taste that way any other method of cooking.
The manager heard about my situation and came by to engage me about it. He was very nice and assured me the meat was fresh made as was the bacon not microwaved, but I'm not some doofus who doesn't know the difference. Â I've tried to microwave bacon before thinking it would be faster. Â It makes the meat tasteless and hard not crispy but hard like a piece of plastic. Â I wanted to believe him but as much as I cook food in various ways, I know the difference. Â You cant fool a person who knows food, travels all over the country and eats everything.
I may or may not ever be back although he said to come back and gave me his brothers name (which I've forgotten already) so they would take care of me. Â
There are other places I can go to eat here. Â Just disappointed in this places inconsistency in service.
Holy cow! Do not walk but run from this place! It's infested with drunk, loud, obnoxious a*holes. Makes me Grumpy!
This place feels like a bar in the middle-of-no-where Texas, if you know what I mean! I had not 1, not 2, but 3 drunk people falling on me while I sat there for 30min, all the while shouting over other people to my friends to try and have a conversation. Btw, none of those 3 people apologized. Then, the 4th drunk person was playing "let me beat you with a belt" with his girlfriend, after hittin his gf a couple of times, he misses and hits me! wtf? I was an inch away from kickin him in the gonads!
Service staff is nice and attentive, too bad they have to serve such a horrible group of customers. NEVER coming back again!
A chill place to eat, drink, and play pool in the deadness that is Mammoth.
But any menu that has a juicy lucy on it gets points from me! I saw this thing on the food network once, and I've been wanting to try one ever since. It's a burger with cheese and bacon INSIDE of it. An awesome way to have a heart attack and die, basically.
Sooo it just tasted like a bacon cheeseburger to me, so I was a little disappointed, although I'm not sure what I was expecting it to taste like... Magic, perhaps? I was pretty high at the time, so I guess that's not out of the question.
Good fun! Pool tables, fooseball, Guitar Hero, pinball, jukebox---It's like a fun arcade for adults. Add cheep beer and it gets that much better!
Foodwise, they serve the typical bar menu, which consists of burgers, salads, sandwiches. Nothing really stands out. Everything felt very heavy, esp their fish and chips.
Come here for drinks, pass on the food.
This is completely based on a single experience with a single thing. Juicy Lucy burger and the fries. Ok, that's 2 things, but it was "one" thing because it came together.
We (the brother and I) found ourselves here because after a hard day of riding, he was starving and remembered them having big portions. We planned on getting the Juicy Lucy (new on their menu, waitress said 2 months old) and then getting the nachos to just snack on while we relaxed a bit there. Well, we never made it to the nachos. We KILLED the fries, then cut the burger in half and both said "I'm done." Nice portions? Yea. Definitely. Now, I won't say everyone should just share their food there, I don't eat THAT much per sitting and I don't think my brother does either; however, I will guarantee that this burger will satisfy everyone short of Joey Chestnut.
Now, as to the actual eating experience. I was more than happy. First, for some strange reason, it is SOOOOOOO hard to find a place that can do fries well done correctly. I don't know why, but it just doesn't seem to happen for me. Here, they were absolutely perfect. Nice crunchy outside whilst still having that nice potatoey inside and yet not dripping with oil. Huge bonus points for getting this right for the simple fact that so few others seem to be able to.
Now the burger itself was quite good too. The bun was nicely toasted and the patty was thicker than the bun. Yea, you read that right meat thicker than bun. The meat itself was cooked well. While it was dripping with juices, it certainly wasn't dry. Plus, it wasn't super greasy. The melted cheese and bacon in the patty were pretty damn good too.
Holy sausage-fest, but what else would you expect for a pretty divey sports bar in a ski resort I guess. Â Hung out through 2 waitress shifts, the early shift had a super friendly low-key waitress, second shift was more of the party girl who kept disappearing, but this isn't the type of place you visit if you're looking for quality service, but is the type of place you go if you're looking for Bush in a pitcher.
I ordered the cheesesteak sandwich. I mean who the hell makes a cheese steak sandwich with cheese whiz only onions on a warm hoagie (I couldn't help but chuckle when I read that review below). Â That said, this was my first cheese steak with cheese whiz, so I can't discuss the authenticity of the damn thing, but I retract all comments in previous reviews about cheese whiz as it wasn't half bad. Still wouldn't make it at home, but overall the sando was pretty tasty. Â The meat was decent, not superb, the bread was the same, so the best component was the slightly spicy cheese whiz.
I'm guessing that the bartender had some sort of tie to philly. I commend him for turning off the Yankee-Red Sox game, but question his choice of switching to a philly-marlin game, even though it was really hard to sell him on the pirates-padres game (I mean they're both hot right?) but he was able to find a vacant t.v. for me to park that game, so I Â give them an extra star for accommodating me on crappy games. They even found a spot for my buddy to show hockey playoffs. Â Changed my mind about adding a star, not really worth bumping them up to 4, but I'll give them a half-star and round down.
Lots of TVs all over the place... great for ignoring the person you're with if you need to... hopefully you shouldn't... stop watching the tellies... or keep watching... anyways...
Had a hankering for some buffalo wings so we ordered the giant basket of spicy wings... turns out... there's nothing buffalo about these wings... oooh so sad... but then... they're called spicy wings... NOT buffalo wings... our mistake... the spicy sauce was a bit sweet... and not all that spicy...
Also had the Tenders n Taters which were... you got it!! chicken tenders with french fries... the tenders came with a side of their spicy sauce... the same sauce that came on the wings... the fries were good... slightly translucent and crispy... just how i like them...
There are also pool tables in the back for you to enjoy...
We came here for beer, hence the neutral rating. Â We had eaten at Roberto's and needed some cold ones to wash down the tortillas and shredded machacha. Â The interior is weathered and classic and the sports channels were perfect for those evening NBA games after a day of riding. Â
Word to the wise: take your buddies and friends here. Â Leave the kids or take them to McDonald's. Â They'll thank you for it!
If what you're looking for is fried food, Grumpy's is the place for you! Â We had dinner here after a full day of skiing and I was hoping for food that wasn't fried - I couldn't find anything healthy at Grumpy's. Â
I ordered a chicken strip(4) dinner with fries. Â The waitress asked me if I wanted 2 or 4 pieces... Â I should have opted for 2 pieces instead of 4. Â Wanna know why? Â I only ate one chicken strip and barely had any of the fries.
Need I say more?
Good Nachos, friendly waitress. Didn't stay here too long, but it was pretty cool.
Wouldn't mind coming here again. It was nice and clean, 2 levels, lots of TV's in the bar area, and a pretty relaxed atmosphere.
Unrelated, but a bonus: Watching the crazy girl with no socks throw her gloves in the middle of the street and cry at the street corner.
I went here w/ a buncha friends one night. Â Their restaurant area was closed so all seating was upstairs in the bar. Â It wasn't very crowded, as it was the beginning of the snowy season..
I had their steak special, which was 10.95 for an 8 oz steak, scalloped potatoes, and veggies. Â The veggies sucked pretty bad, but the steak and potatoes made up for it, sort of. Â My boyfriend had this soup that was amazing though. Â There were sausages, chicken and okra in some tasty broth.
Service here takes forever, but I wasn't really complaining because it was so cold outside that I would have sat around trying to avoid going outside anyway... Â On another day it would have bothered me.
As others have said, the food here is a step below the already mediocre chow most sports bars you find anywhere.
The waitstaff sucks. Â We waited way too long for everything. Â They do nickle and dime you with tiny print and the proportions are huge, we wasted over half the food we ordered. Â
The only nice thing is they had a hockey game on when we were there. Â Too bad we had to sit on shitty green plastic lawn chairs that you get at Lowe's for $4.99
If I could give it zero stars, I would.
DO NOT GO HERE.
The waitresses do not do anything, and it's hard to flag anyone down, bussers included. Â
I ordered a salad and that came messed up. Â (I asked for no onions, and they added more onions. Â WTF!?)
They also took forever to prepare food. Â I mean, come on people..it's a frigging salad! Â We stayed 1.5 hrs and 1 hr was waiting around to prepare the goddamned food.
Then, I went to Von's afterwards to grab some food for my friends. Â Found the same exact salad there for $5 instead of the $20 they charged me.
BTW, take out costs $1 extra (hidden fees, wow!) and gratuity is included for parties of 6+. Â They charged me gratuity when I didn't want to give it to them, so I made them run around even more to earn that.
No wonder this place is called Grumpy's.
As a restaurant Grumpy's gets 2 star, as a bar 3 star. Ate here probably for the last time on 9/1. The double cheeseburger was boring and the "GIANT" chili dog was too. As others have said, it's average bar food.
I've been eating here since it was in the old spot further down the road and you could play volleyball across the parking lot. It just seems to have lost its soul.
TIP: One huge plus in my book is that they have Rogue Hazlenut Brown on tap.
The food is not great, the ambiance is pure family-kid craziness, and the wait is always at least 3 minutes for a Saturday night dinner. Â However, they do have a decent bar area with TVs a plenty. Â It so happens that ski season falls during March madness, so sports bars are important. Â However, i'm not sure this is a Sports bar? Â
The bar staff is always super friendly and fast, so i'm never too "grumpy" (ha, ha, i crack myself up) waiting for a table.  This is the kind of place you might as well order a burger or chicken wings and just roll around in your greasy self.  Wash it down with a few beers and the  free popcorn and you'll be passed out in bed in no time.
Their kitchen closes at 10pm. Â That includes the desserts. Â Boo.
Hooters-like food without the orange shorts. Â Lots of seating. Â Lounge area downstairs.
Considering the area, it has a decent selection of beer. Â Blue Moon tastes good like I remembered it. Â One of the few places that serves Fat Tire as well.
Lame. Â Food is OK. But this is not the Grumpy's I knew from Sun Valley, where they had legitimately the best burger in town for a lot of years.
Our waitress was the greatest and the service was passable.
But the place was empty on a sunny Saturday afternoon. What does that tell you?
Not great......
The fries are definately frozen Ore Ida. Â But the beer is good, the bloody mary's are definately tasty and they have the following play options: Â
* Â pool tables
* Â foozball
* Â way too many tv's with sports on
* Â pinball
* Â free cheddar popcorn
* Â lots of video games, including golden tee and ms. pacman
On a day when it is cold, windy, wet, rainy and generally un-fun you can get moderately priced, huge servings of bad pub food and great beer while playing the afternoon away.
It's not your typical sleezy sports bar - it's open, is well lit, and has a full menu and enough beer on draught.
It's also fairly big. They didn't have the downstairs open when I was there, and the upstairs wasn't crowded.
The staff was more than willing to let us sit there for a couple hours and watch the rest of the game even when we weren't ordering beer (though we got more towards the end of the game).
