Went for happy hour and we had a great time. Server checked in with us regularly and the beer was good. $4 for a mug of grumpy goat IPA or lager and some apps were half off. read more

Terrible service. Absolute circus. Waited 15 mins to even order a water after being seated at our table. Ended up just walking out. Incompetent at best. Absolutely do not recommend as will not ever be back. Such a joke. If I could do negative stars I would read more

Thursday at lunch. Food took over an hour and they were not busy. After 40 minutes, we asked the manager what was taking so long. He said he called another call cook and put food would be just a few minutes. 25 minutes later, we got our food. One sandwich had a hair. No discount when we paid. Never again read more

GG just implemented a policy to charge 4% extra for transactions paid by credit card. If they're trying to annoy their customers, they're doing a good job of it. I paid by cash and the waitress "forgot" to remove the 4%. What a PITA!!! Their wings are pretty good, but everything else have had there is mediocre at best. Not the greatest food and a policy that will tick people off is a deadly combination!!! read more

Piece of broken glass was in my husband's food! Very serious restaurant health infraction! Food prep that can allow for such a serious error has very significant issues. Thankfully, he didn't swallow the glass, but needless to say this could have resulted in a very serious injury. read more

Not much to say. If you have no where to be and want zero interaction with your waitstaff this is the place to be. Granted you won't eat or drink but at least there is TVs. I think this place is only open due to the ignorance of its repeat patrons. read more

Good food but service was pretty bad. Waitress was extremely slow to take orders and deliver them. Say for several minutes between drinks waiting to place another order. And the place was not packed. Not sure we'll be back. It's unfortunate cuz the food and band were pretty good. read more

Probably one of the most unprofessional displays of management, staff, and bar staff. Witness almost all servers sitting at the end of the bar on their phones at one point. Servers are extremely rude at times. It's obvious by the condition of the bar itself whoever is in charge clearly cannot keep the bar-top clean but they have time to sit and chat with servers. Watched a couple servers take shots with their customers which is where a lot of my disgust comes from. Extremely unprofessional on behalf of the entire staff. All servers should be replaced and managers need to rethink their policies on allowing workers to drink on the floor. I will not return to this location or any others if this is how the place of business is ran. read more

Walked in, no host/ess. Asked a waitress if it was seat yourself, she said yes. So we sat at a dirty table which was the only one available. Waited for 10 minutes, no one came around so we left. Should have checked the reviews before we decided to try it... walked down the street to a much better dining experience. read more

Hands down THE BEST CHICKEN STRIPS I EVER ATE. Chili was good. Can't speak for the rest of the menu. They were out of wings so I ordered the strips a very lucky accident. read more

Had an excellent visit yesterday. Greeted immediately, friendly service, food came quickly, great menu choices (even healthy/protein/gf options, which is unique for a bar), food was great and environment was nice and clean. Music was old school hip hop which is fine for a sports bar atmosphere. read more

The management running this place needs a good kick in the a**. My friend warned me the service was bad here but I didn't think it could be that bad... We sat at ourselves at the closest table by the food window and it took about 5 minutes for someone to get our drink order. 3 servers/waiters were seated at the bar right in front of us eating with their boyfriends. After the second waitress asked us for our drink order it took probably another 5 minutes to get our drinks. Numerous times I watched waitresses and servers walk past food sitting out of their food window for over 5 minutes while they entertained themselves at the bar. I ordered their thai peanut chicken pizza which actually turned out great. After eating food, I got tired of waiting around for someone to take another drink order. I walked up to the bar and ordered a jack and coke, the bartender acknowledge me then proceeded to count his tips in front of me for a good 2-3 minutes before he even started making the drink while I just sat there and stared at him. read more

This is a good place to eat and the service is fast. I only waited 5 minutes for my wings and fries and the bartender never let my drink get empty without asking me if I wanted a refill read more

Our group was trying to decide where to watch the Iowa-ISU game so since my wife & I work downtown, we thought we'd check it out beforehand last week. The atmosphere was great for sports, waitresses friendly & the food was fairly good but their beer section needs an update. For a sports bar, they really need more of a wider selection. But...the thing that was the deal-breaker was our frightful discovery charging us an additional 4% since we used our credit card. The food/drink prices were a bit steep for what we got but to tack on some 'convenience fee' as well? You may be able to get away with that in a million or more person city but DSM? No way. Eh, we ended up watching the game with our friends elsewhere & will seek out other places going forward. read more

Not going to make it, nice concept, bar looks good, just dirty and unkept. Pretty gross to be frank. Staff should chat less and clean more, there is currently a 2:1 customer to staff ratio with 16 patrons, staff has congregated around a table while the bar and table clearly need wiped down. read more

Grumpy Goat is now adding a 4% fee for credit cards & debit cards. This is unacceptable. Consider me a former customer.

Stopped in for lunch and it took 15-20 to even be acknowledged by our waitress. We ordered a quesadilla and a wrap. After waiting an hour we walked out. In that time our waitress never checked on us or offered refills or maybe even mention to us that the kitchen was backed up. Almost the entire restaurant was empty and still nothing! This is the second terrible experience my friends and I have had at this location. We will not be going back or recommending this place to anyone! Zero stars read more

Food was okay. Service was terrible, by far the worst service I've had at a restaurant. We were the only table there for brunch and the waitress just talked the entire time to her coworkers and forgot our drinks until the food came outside. We had a party of 9 and two plates came out 5 minutes before the rest of the food. Clearly didn't care or want to be there. The restaurant also has a 4% charge added on if you use a credit card. I would recommend throwing money away before going here. read more

this place is terrible. literally terrible. if you want to eat frozen breakfast food from walmart then just go there. i've come four or five times and every time the food takes over an hour. no matter how busy. i'm not joking. not real maple syrup. no cinnamon butter. the food is always burnt. the service is always slow. steve mcfadden has to be a lazy cheap guy because this business could be amazing . my organs are going to corrode and combust and die for consuming this food poison. i will say this though, the godamn freshly SQUEEZED orange juice goes fucking crazy. like damn that shit is yum yum. also my friend never got her avocado. that's always important. don't come. read more

This bar has so much potential. Management and leadership is the worst I've seen in a long time. Waitresses and bartender seemed to be on edge the entire time we were there which reflected in the service we received. I've been to the GG Tavern in Ankeny and experienced the exact same service which was non existent. It took 25 minutes to get ONE beer and they were maybe at quarter capacity. AVOID THIS PLACE. Don't waste your time or money. read more

Service was completely awful (we were there much longer than we should have been...around 3 hours) - we were put outside on the on the patio in a storm and so water was getting on on us with the wind. Food was average...will not be returning. read more

terrible, terrible, terrible service. sitting here right now waiting for a french toast i ordered over an hour ago. took 30+ minutes for our waitress to even bring our drinks. she has barely spoken to us, so we don't know why our food is taking so long. the food that has shown up has been wrong. all this place is good for is a casual drink. read more

Came downtown specifically for the "Jimmy Buffett Friday" That they advertised on FB. This is a nice little pub, but their Jimmy Buffett atmosphere sucked. The live music was one guy playing stuff not even in the Troprock genre. Just because you serve a margarita and a cheese burger doesn't make it a Buffett event. Really disappointed. read more

Unfortunate lunch experience -- disorganized slow service, brown/wilted salad, no cutlery, and the server never brought our drinks. I mentioned this to management, and received no response. Had high hopes for this promising patio space, but I won't be back. read more

We walked in on Sunday(July 28th) afternoon around 2pm. No one greeted us - no one would even make eye contact with us. We seated ourselves - waited at least 10 minutes. During that time noticed a few other groups come in - looking around for direction and eventually seating themselves. Some went to the bar to ask for a menu. No wait staff ever took the time to look our way. We finally just got up and left. Not going to spend money in a place where they could have cared less we were there or not. A party of 5 probably would have spend a fair amount of money - but I guess that doesn't matter to them. read more

My co-workers and I were very excited for this place to open for a new Happy Hour spot. Unfortunately each and every time we have been very disappointed in our service. I hoped at first that it was growing pains but things have not improved and after last Friday we are not going to return. If waiting at a table for 15 minutes before being served, being served the wrong drink, and waiting another 15 minutes after your drink is gone is what you are looking for this might be the place for you. Friday there was a bartender and two waitstaff, the place was completely packed which is normal on a Friday after work, you would think they would staff for this. One of the waitresses was busy talking to what looked to be her BF because she was eating off of his plate instead of waiting on anyone. We watched two tables get up and leave because they were tired of waiting for service. So disappointed, we will take our business elsewhere even if it means walking a little further. read more
