Reviews for Grumpy's Sports Pub in Aiken, SC
Was looking for a dog friendly place to have a bite while I was in town to buy some hardware. Saw Grumpy's was pet friendly... outside dining so I figured I'd give it a go. Slightly confusing for a pet owner simply because the signs say to let the staffknow you're outside, but I didn't want to take my sidekick in and break any rules. Finally got that worked out by peeling inthe side door and asking if I could get a menu and that I'd like to dine outside with my dog. Took about 10 minutes for a menuto arrive and literally 3 different waitresses walked past without checking on a drink order etc. After 20 minutes, a waiterasked if anyone had helped me and I said they hadn't...took my drink order and about 10 minutes later, came and took my foodorder. 30 minutes to get a menu, drink, and order taken...let me say, that's the negative. The POSITIVE is, the food was spoton and absolutely excellent. I ordered the fried curd with marinara for an appetizer... AMAZING For dinner I ordered aReuben...and it was stellar. I opted for the upgrade onion rings...nothing special about them but the sauce with them was reallygood. All in all, I'd come back. I'm ok with waiting for quality food after it's ordered, there is room for improvement on theinitial menu/drink order and follow up for meal order... Read more
Went for lunch with my family and it was not real busy at all so we figured it'd be pretty quick. WRONG! We waited an 45-50 min... for our meals. The waitstaff was extremely slow and not attentive. And my son ordered wings and I had the rib eye hoagie, theywere dry and not real fresh. I'll try again sometime and hope for better results. Never know. Read more
Great place for wings! This is a great sports bar with classic bar foods. Plenty of tvs to watch sporting events and hang out... with friends. The wings are good plenty of sauces to choose from. The staff is great always greeting you with a smile. They haveinside seating and outside and if you need takeout they have curbside pickup. Read more
Service was great. They didn't bring out the appetizers until after we had our main meal. The pretzel bites were on the well... done side but still good with the IPA Cheese sauce. The wings were great but a little saucy. The po boy was terrific and thecurly q fries were outstanding! They have a huge selection of beer to choose from. We will be back! Read more
It?s pretty average bar food that could easily be better. Here?s the scoop. We dined outside since we had dogs with us and the... patio is dog friendly. They have 2 large tents covering the patio areas which is particularly nice if there?s inclement weather.There?s heaters in there that come on at 60°. Plenty of seating. We were greeted by Kavis (?) who was so polite and providedexcellent service. He was definitely the star of our experience. We ordered the fried pickles which we?ve had before. They?regood, really good. Not overly battered or greasy and they have a bit of firm crunch to them. I ordered an oyster basket(12.99)and with that came some disappointment. These were incredibly small and over fried to the point of the oysterdisappearing. Served with an average needs more vinegar slaw & fries. Fries are listed as hand cut, curly or sweet potato butall are frozen not fresh despite hand cut lending you to believe otherwise. The O rings are frozen as well. The sweet tea wasgood & Kavis was on point with extra lemon. Again, it?s just average bar food. Read more
The service is phenomenal. The staff works together to take care of the guests. They run each other's food, bring drink refills,... check in to see how people are doing, offer to change the TVs to a particular game, and seem to motivated to be there. The foodis delicious. They offer various sandwiches and entrees. Even the appetizers are good portions. The beers on tap are a widerange. Something for everyone! It's a smaller space than expected so it gets busy fast! I will be dining here again! Read more
Not a sports pub person as I don't drink or watch sports typically but this place always looks busy so wanted to check it... out. My first time there I wanted to go with something that they seem to be known for and saw lots of reviews mentioning thewings. I went with the boneless chicken wings and asked for a recommendation on the sauce. Waitress recommended sriracha honeywhich sounded right up my alley so I went with it. Boneless chicken wings did not disappoint. Came with either a side of ranchor blue cheese. I went with ranch. I also ordered a side of the sweet potato fries which were also very good. A few weekslater, I was craving some boneless wings so came back with the same order. Just as good as the first time :) Read more
Paid a visit at lunch time. Unfortunately, likely our last. The cost is unreal. Two teas, one order of corn dogs, one order of... fries=$20. Corn dogs were the same you?d expect from a grocery store and we were charged $8 for mini corn dogs. No side, nodrink, corn dogs. Fries?..due to the amount of grease MAYBE half were eaten. $6 fries. So a corn dog meal costs $16. Plustip?..$20. That?s a steak and sides at the steakhouse. Burger SLIDERS?.$12!!!! I know food costs have risen, but come on now! Read more
