The food here is always amazing. Sometimes the wait can be a little long, but it's worth it. I highly recommend the corn nuggets with ranch!

For the last couple of years, Grumps has been just another burger joint to me. But I keep noticing that the parking lot is always packed. So we ventured in yesterday. It was packed but we found a table. She warned us that they were so busy that the food would be slow. She was right, but that's OK. My Swiss mushroom burger was so good! The spicy fries with jalapeño ketchup were awesome! I don't drink much soda, but they have Dublin Root Beer, which I love! My two refills added way too many calories! If your not on the clock, they do have beer and margaritas. Oh, and don't forget the free peanuts while you wait on your food. Winner! So, I guess Grumps is back in our rotation, at least for a while. read more

Fast and friendly service. Ordered the bacon cheeseburger with onion rings. Both were delicious. Also liked the ranch dressing that came with the rings and the jalapeño ketchup brought to the table. Stopped in during happy hour and had one of the "coldest beers in Texas". :) Also had some iced tea and it was also good; not watered down so was just right over ice. Nice laid back place to enjoy a burger and a beverage after a hot day working in a warehouse. read more

Great burgers! Love the jalapeño bun with my burger and the queso fries! Great food! Cool little place.

Came for my first time and was completely blown away by the ambience, service and quality. I visit Abilene about once a month and wish so bad Grumps had a Dallas location. They know what they're doing. Excellent. Thank you! read more

Great burgers, great atmosphere and great service. Who wouldn't want to stop, eat great food and take a picture of the grumps. Send it to that grumpy old person in your life. read more

If you ace a no-frills burger, you deserve every good thing that comes your way. I live 3.5 hours away from Abilene and was literally passing through just to transport a dog to their new home and then drive back to DFW. I needed fuel for the long trek back and thought this place looked pretty good. I am now trying to see if it would be crazy to make the drive again literally just for this burger. The place was packed at lunch time on a Saturday. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger and spicy fries. I waited 30 minutes and started to get kind of annoyed it was taking so long but I take EVERY BAD THOUGHT back as soon as I tasted the food. The burger was delicious. Everything tasted so fresh and it didn't leave me feeling gross and greasy like burgers tend to do. The "spicy" in the fries just means they're seasoned to the max with peppers. They also were extremely fresh, perfectly crisp, and I left no crumbs while I took my time enjoying them. If you live nearby and haven't been here, you are doing yourself a disservice. read more

We were craving a Grump's burger on New Years Eve, and to our dismay you were closed. We looked on your web site to be sure you were open, the site read open until 9:00 pm. We drove from out of town and ended up driving back home. Our tummy's were empty. Jane Ann and Lloyd McCord. read more

The CHILI is BANGING! Super delicious burger, crispy fries. Friendly staff. I got the collectors cup to show my coworkers.

Went back to Grumps with a friend from Huntsville. We told her she needed the experience. Lol we ordered southern slush and fried pickles and then got a bacon cheeseburger ... yes there was 2 slices of bacon this time and dirty fries with queso and chips. She could not quit talking about it. Y'all were spot on today!!!!! She said she was glad there were no grumps around her because she would gain 20 pounds lol. Good job grumps. I knew you had it in you!!! read more

Juicy, tasty, cooked to prefect ion!! Fries, onion Rings even Queso and potato sturdy chips. Service was outstanding. We were stuffed!!! Going back again!!!! read more

Good food. Great service. Less than wonderful acoustics when it's busy so not the best option for the hard of hearing.

Simply a great local joint. Really good food, super friendly and helpful staff, and a wonderful small local joint atmosphere. We can't wait to go back again with friends. read more

Love this place. Great burgers, jalapeño fried slices and ranch are amazing. Each time I have gone in the staff is friendly.

Good burger. Atmosphere is different and service is fairly quick. Due to construction harder to get to but easy to find

I tried the cheese burger with onions and jalapeños. Twenty five minutes passed before getting my food. There was only a couple of people dining since lunch already passed (I came at 1:10). When my burger finally arrived It took me two minutes to eat the whole thing. I did not mind the wait after the first bite; it was delicious. But I cannot imagine how long you have to wait on rush hour. I paid $8 for my food; I did not order fries and drank water. read more

Grumps Burgers - Burgers Near Me - Abilene, Texas

This place is pretty much an old schoolburger joint. No frills, just good food. I had a mushroom Swiss and it was great. Fries were good, onion rings were good. Service was quick. Drink selection is Dublin bottling company, which I though was a nice touch. Definitely will be back when I need a burger fix. read more

Awesome atmosphere, staff, food. This place has become my go-to for a great burger, fries, and a milkshake. Their BLT's are very good as well. Hidden gem in Abilene. read more

The food was absolutely fantastic! The service was even better as we got our food in about 5-10 minutes, The ambiance was very neat and well put-together. Overall the entire restaurant was absolutely amazing. I would definitely go again, as this is about as fast as a fast food place and better than a fast food place. read more

I take the work crew to Grumps on a regular basis, they have awesome burgers, lots of options, I love the chili burger, the queso burger, and the bacon double cheeseburger as well. Great fried pickles, onion rings are awesome. Highly recommend you visit Grumps! read more

It's definitely in my Top 5 burgers, the spicy bacon, the chuck, and the rest of the fixings were all delicious.

I had a regular burger with everything on it, my grandson had the mushroom Swiss and my husband had a chicken salad. All were delicious. We had fries and onion rings and fried jalapeños. Loved it all. Will be back for sure. Mia was our server and she was attentive and very sweet. read more

We stopped in while we were in town visiting family. The reviews were positive, and the place didn't disappoint if you're looking for good basic burgers and sides. My wife raved about her chili cheeseburger which was so messy in a good way that she resorted to knife and fork. My Swiss mushroom burger was one of the best I can remember. Fries and onion rings were both a rung above standard fast food offerings. Very tasty and well prepared. They serve several beers and interesting-sounding adult beverages, and while we're not partakers I did enjoy the selection of Dublin soft drinks that are kind of a rare find. The front entry area was a little dirty, and the burgers while adequate weren't huge. Only these two factors hold me back from giving 5 stars. We'll definitely go back the next time we're in town. read more

Best burgers I've had in Abilene! My go to is always the guac burger. Prices are fantastic. Servers are friendly. There are shelled peanuts to snack on while you wait for your food. Highly recommend. read more

Loved everything about this place. It's an awesome true hamburger joint. Not fancy or trendy, just good Texas vibe and good food. Kudos for having green chiles. Loved the dirty fries. Even the soft drink options weren't the typical Coke products. People must agree because this place was super busy on a Saturday at lunch. read more

Great experience across the board. The fried pickles are the best I've ever had, burgers certainly meet the hype and the staff were friendly. The family loved the peanuts while we waited for the appetizers to come out. We will go back! read more

Went in about 8:15 for a quick order of deep fried jalapenos for a movie snack. I sat waiting for them to call my name when I looked at the front and saw my food sitting there. I watched as the counter boy stood talking to the cooks with his back turned to my food. I sat watching it get cold when I finally went up and asked if it was mine. He said yes. I took it and walked to my car when I realized they didnt give me the ranch I paid ectra for. I went back in and the boy tried to tell me he was putting it all in a bag when I came up. No he wasnt. He was chatting with the cooks. He handed me the ranch and just looked at me. I asked for a bag and he slowly gave me one. Horrible horrible ervice. I understand its 30 minutes to close but come on! Dont gaslight me! I watched you!!! read more

Always good food. Perfectly cooked burgers, and fries. I love the sweet potato fries. The Dublin cola is the icing on the cake.

It's not a bad burger, but nothing special. Your basic Texas assortment of fried sides and a greasy burger. Not a place I'd crave or be in awe of. It's a clean location with friendly staff. read more

Grumps Burgers - Queso Burger - Burgers Near Me - Abilene, Texas

The first time we visited Grumps I can literally say it was probably the best burger I've eaten in a very long time. The meat was cooked to perfection and the buttery grilled bun was heavenly! The owner was there meeting and greeting which made the experience very pleasant. Skip to the next visit when we took along the grown kids and spouses. What a difference. Very average burger. Nothing special. Is that because the owner was no longer around to oversee things? Won't be rushing back for another. read more

Grumps Burgers - First visit. Yum! - Burgers Near Me - Abilene, Texas

Grumps is a small burger chain started about 15 years ago. They just recently opened at the old Pizza Hut building located on N. 1st near Westwood Dr. Atmosphere: a nicely done remodel of the old Pizza Hut I frequented with my family as a child. An elevated area near the front windows houses 3-4 tables. There is a long bar style table in the 2nd dining area with fixed stools that could fit a fair amount of people. The rest of the dining area is your usual tables and chairs. Lots of vintage decor around the dining rooms. 1 Star. Service: As u walk in there is a a handful of menus (sorry, I forgot to take a pic) in a cubby. It's a very simple menu with about 5-6 specialty burgers and 3-4 sandwiches. The staff was very friendly. Welcomed a couple of times while in line. The cashier was a pro. For a place that just opened she knew the register like the back of her hand. This made the long line move quite quickly. Food is brought out by a waitress calling your name and she is quick to ask if you need anything else for your meal. There is no true "wait staff,"-it is still a fast food joint-but the manager and at least one other staff member came by the table in the 30min we were there to make sure we were good and didn't need anything. 2 Stars Food: I'll just say it right off the bat, the food is nothing spectacular but it has some uniqueness to it that adds some "worth coming back to" properties. Don't get me wrong it wasn't bad at all. It just didn't hit a homerun, but was at least extra bases. The freshness of the meat is a big plus. These look like hand made patties. Probably 1/3 pound to start. That was a big plus. I feel that some salt could have been added to them however. The buns are average hamburger buns. Veggies seemed crisp and fresh. Cheese was completely melted, which is always a must. One of the "unique" items I mentioned earlier is their bacon. Apparently it is a jalapeño bacon and has just the right amount of kick. You definitely know it's there but it doesn't overpower. This leads me to my wife's order, which extends the uniqueness. They have a BLT on their menu. This is made with a good amount of that smoky jalapeño bacon and some fresh veggies on Texas toast. She really liked it. Son got his typical chicken strips. I normally wouldn't mention them except that it was a good sized order and the chicken (although looking like frozen strips) was cooked through and shredded apart like real chicken. Onion rings were very good. None were stuck together and had a nice golden fry on them. The fries are just ok. A tad too soggy for my tastes. My perfect fry is crispy crunchy on the outside and soft in the middle. Now, the homemade potato chips are impressive. The were nice and crisp to start. They did age quickly and got a little soggy the longer they sat (so probably wouldn't be too great for togo.) For those interested (we didn't have any today), they do serve Blue Bell ice cream as well. Looks like it's 4 flavors: chocolate, vanilla, cookies & cream, and strawberry. One more addition: they do have several à la carte items for your burgers. I've been told the Jalapeño Bun is a standout. I also remember there being grilled onions, mushrooms, quacamole, and green chilies. 1 Star Overall: Nice experience with fantastic service and decent quality food. We will definitely be back. read more
