Description

Perched on Rush Lake, the Grumpy Minnow delivers hearty, inventive comfort food with standout chicken wild rice soup, memorable sandwiches (artichoke, chipotle) and a famed carrot cake. The lake view and varied menu draw crowds; service is generally friendly but drink quality and kitchen consistency can be uneven. Fried items and fries are hit-or-miss, and some fish sandwiches feel over-breaded. Expect a casual, bustling atmosphere, occasional waits, and a small hospitality charge added to the bill.

Closed for good. It's over now. Goodbye! Farewell! Adios! Just adding a few more characters for my public service announcement.

The customer covered the bill, so I'm unable to share the price of the burger. However, I can say that it was surprisingly impressive for a small neighborhood bar. I would definitely suggest coming in for a few pints and a double meat burger after a round of golf.

For our entrees, my brother had the Hangover Burger, which includes an egg, hash browns, and bacon, but he chose a vegetarian patty. My mom went with the Cuban sandwich and fries, my dad had the Grumpy Pulled Pork with chips, and I selected the salmon once more. Everything was absolutely delicious. My salmon was fantastic, and make sure you don’t skip the dinner bun—it was the best bread I’ve had in ages. The chips were just as good as the fries, so you won’t feel like you need to upgrade. Overall, the wait wasn’t an issue at all, and even if it had been, it would have been worth it. I highly recommend this place!

Only stop for drinks, no food place didn't appear to be very clean for that early in the afternoon, Floors looked like they were never cleaned from the night before.

Me and my sister took our mom here for the margarita mother day special. When we got here we went up to the bar and all of the employees totally ignored us. The two bartenders then started talking to each other about how they aren’t gonna use the last bottle of tequila for the margarita special and we told them that we drove an hour there for the special just for them to tell us that they can’t make them for us while making 4 infront of us. Very disrespectful and very rude employees. Never had such a bad experience at a bar before this one. Will never come back.
