It's no surprise that there are signs of dissatisfaction! The restaurant had only two other tables with customers, so it wasn't busy. We ordered a burger and a sandwich, but it took an hour for our food to arrive. When the sandwich finally came, it had a small piece of meat overwhelmed by a large portion of salad, and the bread seemed stale and sliced an inch thick - it was awful. The fries were all clumped together in a big mass. With two servers, a chef, and several other employees in such a small diner, it was definitely not necessary.

That was my first time in old grouch for something to eat, and it was amazing! I was with my family, so we had to get a table that sat people, we found one in the next room that was decorated in elvis memorabilia. that was cheesy and funny! all their foods are homemade and it is delicious! everything is made to order, so there is a small waiting period, but it is so worth it! definitely worth going for a meal when they are in the drum!

We were drawn in by the name of the Restaurant...it is a true hole in the wall but well worth the stop. Truly home cooking, clean and fun. We were amazed at the lower prices and good food. Would go back for more next time...we are in Drumheller

Quirky and interesting setting. Bring a friend to share the gigantic and delicious homemade grauchosaurus burger.

Where to begin? You’ll walk in this place and the decor will overwhelm your senses. The menu is somewhat confusing. But the food is really good. But for the first five minutes you’ll be busy looking around. We had some great food. Homemade buns, great...fries and perogies.
