    Bavarian style pretzel, mozzarella sticks
    Jackson W.

    Went here after a long day of riding in Stratford. The service was terrible, 10 mins to even bring us drinks. we were starved and it took forever for appetizers to come out. I will say the appetizers were great. Bavarian style pretzel and mozzarella sticks were both very good. Then the main course finally came out. We all just got a large order of chicken tenders. They were mediocre at best. Then finally we got our check and left. we spent almost 2 hours there. never going back.

    we stayed here and ate dinner here twice - it was pretty good! i really enjoyed the tavern and bar area themselves, it's a nice place for sure. our waitress the first night was awesome, super sweet and attentive. the second night, i couldn't say the same but it was okay. i ordered their special maple burger and found it to be just okay, nothing too special. their carrot cake was yummy as well as their version of a mudslide. the tips were incredible - very tender and seasoned very well. they ran out of mashed potatoes :( but the loaded baked potato was a delicious substitute and i really enjoyed the broccoli. overall, i would definitely recommend.

    Bison burger and smoked honey maple fries

    Loved the food, especially the smoked honey maple fries and the whisky burger and bison burger! Thanks to Tracey for the wonderful service and making this a perfect lunch spot after a big hike! (Just did Table Rock - recommend that too)!

    Good food. Nice atmosphere. Friendly staff. A tiny bit pricey but when you're the nicest place in town you can charge what you want.

    Super friendly service. The gentleman went out of his way to take care of me and my 2 kids. Chicken…read morefingers and pulled pork w/ fries were great! Definitely recommend this place.

    Meal: Lunch, eat in…read more All Ratings out of 10: Quality of food: 6 Food to Spend Value: 6 Quality of Service: 6 Overall Rating: 6 When you are out hiking in remote places, your restaurant options are limited. Before heading to Beaver Brook Falls, we decided to find some lunch and discovered Grampy's next to the IGA grocery store. It looked like a fun spot so decided to check it out. Grampy's is definitely simple. It is essentially a big trailer for the kitchen and order taking with a covered outdoor patio for eating. They focus on sandwiches, burgers, and hot dogs, though they have other options as well. I went with one of their Overstuffed Grinders: Sweet Italian Sausage with Peppers and Onions. I didn't order fries but my son did, so I decided just to have a few of his. I had also read about the fried dough so got an order of that, too. The "grinder" really wasn't a grinder, at least not by my definition, but rather a hot sandwich on a hoagie style roll. The sausage had a good flavor but wasn't exceptional, but the bell pepper and onion was done quite nicely. It was a good sized sandwich and definitely didn't skimp on either the sausage or the veggies. The fries had a wonderful flavor and tasted fresh cut. The fried dough was delicious and was nice and fluffy on the outside and more dense in the middle, kind of like an elephant ear. There was powdered sugar, cinnamon, and syrup at the condiments table so you could sweeten up the dough any way you wanted. They also offered all the typical condiments, including hot sauce, for the grinders, dogs, and burgers. We didn't get dessert, but they had a number of ice cream options as well! The setup is simple, but on a beautiful day sitting outside is quite delightful, making it feel like we were at a picnic. Almost every table, including the condiments table, had a push bottle of hand sanitizer, so though I couldn't use running water I was able to get my hands clean. The bathroom is a port a potty, but they didn't seem to see much use and were actually quite clean. Grampy's was a fun stop and a great lunch spot. The food wasn't amazing, but it was good and tasty. It seemed a bit pricey, but the portions were pretty large, so I really couldn't complain. If you are looking for a good and easy lunch stop while hiking in the area, Grampy's is a great option!
