Grumpy Minnow - Stanchfield

I'll start by saying the wait was around an hour for our food (4 people on a Sunday afternoon), BUT that was the only negative. We were seated immediately and warned of the wait ahead of time. The table featured old Trival Persuit questions which kept us entertained (and the wait didn't feel very long). I ordered a whiskey on the rocks (rail), their Citrus Salmon and the Spinach Artichoke dip to share. My drink was HUGE. I have never received a rail drink this large before. Be warned lol. The spinach artichoke dip came out PIPING hot with house made chips for dipping. It. Was. Fabulous. Would highly recommend (could also save some to put on top of a burger). Next was the meal. My brother ordered their Hangover burger (breakfast burger with an egg, hash browns, and bacon) with the vegetarian patty. My mom ordered the Cuban sandwich with fries, my dad ordered the Grumpy Pulled Pork with chips and I, again, ordered the salmon. Everything was DIVINE. My salmon was amazing and DO NOT skip on the dinner bun, it was the best bread I've had in a long time. The chips are just as good as the fries, so don't feel like you have to upgrade. All in all, the wait wasn't even an issue and even if it was, it would have been well worth it, I highly recommend.

G O O D F O O D ! I have been here a few times now, and I am in AWE of the menu selections and the well prepared meals. The Kitchen is on point! As in most rural establishments, the service is hit or miss, but, that the way it goes. However, the Lake View makes up for the staff shortcomings. The other thing I like is the consistency of the quality of all the different things I've dined on here. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

Best crispy chicken sandwich I've had! Service was great and food came out quick. Highly recommend

I 'm giving the 4 stars for the many previous times we ate here. It 's always been amazingly. Monday was less than par. The shrimp linguine was awful. The Pasty No flavor sauce over under cooked noodles. The every thing baked potato was the size of a egg, no butter came with it. Minimal bacon as well. Seriously not the best experience we 've had there. We will go back as this was a one time me only disappointment, we hope!

My husband and I were in the area staying at a friend's cabin for a long weekend. They recommended The Grumpy Minnow for a late lunch early dinner. They let us know right away that there is almost always a wait. We waited close to 45 minutes and were bummed to not have anyone check in update us during that time or even be at the outside bar. The outside bar had empty plates and glasses at each seat and despite waiting to order a drink as the host mentioned we could, no bartender or staff ever came to the bar. There were a good amount of empty tables the entire time we waited. When we checked in to see where we were, the host gave us a time and then a while later came over and said they messed up and it was our turn. We got seated and ordered right away as we had worked up an appetite. The food and drinks were good, the wait was long, and when we left, the line was to the door and tables almost all empty so not sure if it is a lack of staffing or what but it seems to be a promising location with tasty good but be ready to wait or come at times less busy (weekday lunch time maybe).
