I've been on a quest for Prime Rib! So, I decided to try Grumpy's. Always ordered rare, which means…read moreyou get medium rare at all the places I've tried. I've had tender, cut with a fork prime rib years ago, but I cannot this elusive cut anywhere in the Lehigh Valley. The places I've tried were all good, but none were great! I've tried prime rib at Millers Ale House, Prime Steakho.use, Texas Roadhouse, Outback, Longhorn. While the seasoning and taste varies from place to place; the one common element is having to saw the steak with a knife to cut it. This results in excessive chewing of the meat. This really reduces overall enjoyment of the prime rib experience. To get what I want from a prime rib experience will probably require paying $60 plus dollars and a long drive from the Lehigh Valley. Grumpy's of course serves smoked prime rib. I love smoked meats but not when it comes to prime rib I discovered. So, I won't be getting the $32 dollar, 16oz prime rib there again. I will be ordering the blackened bleu cheese burger with bacon and the ribs again! Onion rings a must for me. The side salad (adds $2) is excellent! Not just iceburg lattuce. I chose cole slaw as a side' it's good but their style of pink cole slaw is not for me. You get a piece of corn bread, but it's tiny and totaly underwhelming compared to cornbread elsewhere. The staff is courteous, attentive, and friendly. The ambience leaves much to be desired. To me feels like a bikers bar, which it is not. At the end of the day Grumpy's gets a B+ in my book and I will occasionally visit for lunch or dinner. Note: Their Au Jus is highly recommended and is not served with the meal. Must be asked for and you'll be glad you did!

It's packed with Americana and has a really homey, laid-back feel. I wish it were closer to where I live because there were a lot of things on the menu I'd love to come back and try--especially the Creole/Cajun options. This visit I went with the wings and the gumbo. The wings were smoked and really good, and the gumbo was just as tasty. It also looks like they can pack a crowd in here--they've got a bunch of live music acts scheduled through January. If this place were closer, I'd be here a lot more often. That said, anytime I'm heading back to Lehigh Valley Sporting Clays, this will definitely be part of the same-day plan.

I've been trying to figure out exactly how to express my experience at Keystone BBQ.. mainly…read morebecause, it never had a chance to happen! There were two guys working the grill and prep station making sandwiches for the 3 customers ahead of me. At first I thought maybe they were just trying to get their orders rolling before taking mine.. then 5 minutes passed.. still wasn't even greeted.. normally I'd expect something like "Hello, we'll be right with you!" But not even an acknowledgement that I was standing in front of the register. Between 5-10 minutes there were two couples that had lined up behind me and ultimately left because no one was taking orders or acknowledging the customers in line.. finally, after 12 minutes of waiting I walked away without ever having been greeted or acknowledged in any way. No eye contact, no smile, nothing. But, since I was there to watch them prep the three sandwiches for the customers ahead of me I can tell you that this place is just like any other fast food restaurant. Nothing is fresh. Every piece of meat or food I saw them prepare was cold or frozen and then heated up. They also use Sweet Baby Rays bbq sauce, which admittedly I like, but I think seeing huge containers used to fill up their squeeze bottles just put a bad taste in my mouth overall. If I'm you, I'd remind the owner by not eating at this place, that good businesses are ones where addressing your customers presence and welcoming them to your establishment is your #1 priority outside of the actual quality/taste of the food.. for comparison, look at how Chick-Fil-A runs their business..

I mentioned it was my first visit and the cashier came around and explained the whole menu. The ambience is very respectful to our armed forces. Very humbling to be sitting amongst pictures of individual stories of heroes. They offer the Pepsi product and specialty sodas for drinks.

Service is typically at the bar, however I have historically received table service when they were slow - it really all depends on the bartender and the crowd. I ordered their mushroom and swiss smashburger and paired that with a side of sweet potato fries. The burger was good flavor but with how thin the patty is, I would have liked a little more mushroom and a little less arugula. I also would, in the future, add that second patty in there to beef it up a bit (no pun intended). The fries were perfect and crisp outside with a soft warm inside. I do wish there was a caramel or syrup dipping sauce with them but they again had good flavor as is so it's not a big deal to eat them plain. I'd say overall McCall's is a great option if you're looking to try some good craft beer, watch a game, or just get a simple bite to eat.

The full menu can be seen on the wall behind the counter. You have the option to order a Smoker's Sampler or one of Q's Gourmaq & Cheese. They also have sandwiches and dinner platters available. This time around I ordered the Smoker's Sampler. You have the option to get two, three, or four meats. I decided on jerk chicken, beef brisket, ribs, and salmon. The four meat sampler comes with two sides. I chose Mac & Cheese and Elote. Everything was fantastic! The meats are tender and the sides are flavorful. The jerk chicken and ribs are top tier.

The sides were Mac n cheese, Pineapple mango slaw, and etole. All great matches with our protein. The owner was very accommodating. He answered all of our questions and made our experience as good as it possibly could be. The decor was outstanding with incredible artwork everywhere. Here's the catch! You just don't know when they are available for sit down service. They are small to large group oriented. Meaning catering is the priority. If they are contracted for an event, they may not be open for sit down service or take-out. So, Ownership recommends calling ahead to see what services are available.

Unfortunately, there was a strong cold draft at floor level, leaving our feet uncomfortably cold throughout the meal. The hostess was sweet and greeted us with a smile. The food service was unremarkable. Our waiter was not particularly friendly nor personable. The drinks were a weak start. The red sangria was poor. The bourbon cocktail was an odd mix of bourbon, apple cider, and other elements--an awkward, Frankenstein-style whiskey sour that simply didn't work. Worst of all, both drinks were served in thin plastic cups, which immediately cheapened the entire experience. I ordered the falafel sandwich and specifically requested a toasted bun. It arrived not just room temperature, but cold. I sent it back, and it returned burning hot... the bottom soggy... literally too hot to pick up... with no browning or color change, clearly microwaved. Microwaving is not toasting. At that point, the sandwich was inedible. I removed the bun entirely and ate just the falafel, which was dry and largely tasteless. At this point I knew coming back to this restaurant was a mistake. Food timing was another issue. The dishes took roughly 45 minutes to arrive after the drinks, possibly longer. We were all getting annoyed and what started out well when we first walked in turned negative. I wasn't impressed on my first visit years ago... and this second visit confirmed it. Between the poor drinks, cheap plastic cups, ridiculously long wait (with no explanation nor apology), and careless food execution, there's no reason to return.

We were 7 so I put our names in the waitlist (no reservation) and 5 of our party arrived early. Unfortunately they do not consider you until the whole party arrives. The 7th thought we would've seated without her so she didn't show up until half an hour later. Once we told the hostess our party was complete, we waited another ~15 to get a table. You can imagine those who arrived early are getting impatient. Good thing is that our server put everyone at ease and host-crisis averted! Almost everyone ordered steak and everyone was super happy with the quality of meat. Of course the Texas size overwhelmed us and seeing so much leftover was sad (all staying in hotels and no way to take doggie bags). One highlight of the meal of the cactus blossom- none of us have had it. It was fun.

In the meantime that everyone around us was cleaning up their station and see what happened Our waitress was too busy doing her side work to check back on us or see if we needed anything else. I had the ribeye steak and it was cold when it came to us. The potato was old like it had been sitting there all night. My sister got the sirloin and shrimp. Her food was also cold. She ended up taking it home with her. You usually know what you're getting when you come to one of these establishments, and you are good with that. Wanted a steak. This experience was very disappointing. I don't live near here so I won't be returning to this location. I've been to other ones that are better. Judge for yourself.
