    Custom made bacon and olive calzone
    Lucy T.

    Grumpy's is a pretty good little Italian place in Cullman. I came here for dinner one night with my friend Julia. I got a build your own calzone and added bacon and olives to it. They also gave me extra sauce. It was so delicious and cheesy! The restaurant itself is small and part of it looks sectioned off to look like a family dining room. The only thing I wish could improve is having an itemized check. I like to see everything on my bill versus just be told a total amount to make sure everything is correct.

    We stopped in after looking for a pizza place on our way through North Alabama. Thank goodness we decided on Grumpy's! The food was amazing. Cheese bread as a starter, roast beef sandwich (soft bread and delicious filling), meat pizza (a large is HUGE), small veggie, chicken Alfredo and chicken Alfred carbonara. Everything was great! The only down side was the LOUDEST FAMILY I HAVE EVER HEARD were sitting by us. Like, it was unnatural how loud this family was. We will definitely be back!

    We had actually struck out at a couple other locations, closing early (on a Saturday?) and or just closed. Next up was Grumpy's Itailian Grill. As you can see it kind of worked out, since they scored a perfect 5 out of 5. The outside isn't anything fancy, but it provides 4 walls and a roof, so good enough! We walked in and were immediately hit with the amazing smells being produced from the kitchen. I'm not one that typically craves Italian food at restaurants (see my other reviews for why) .... but, if we lived closer, I think Grumpy's could become a regular spot. Service was really good, surprisingly they weren't in character - we kind of expected the service to be a little .... well grumpy. Late for a lunch, they were still pretty packed out, but still had room to seat us when we arrived. The menu isn't crazy either, Half a dozen starters, half a dozen sandwiches, half a dozen pasta dishes .... and a handful of specialty pizza and calzone choices. I went for the meat pizza (add green bell peppers). Very surprised when it cam out looking like brick oven pizza (no brick over here though). This pizza was legit good! Plenty of toppings, crust had a little crunch to it but not too much, house made marinara had just enough but not overly done. These guys know how to make a pizza! My wife had the baked spaghetti and it came with garlic bread. The baked spaghetti wasn't bad, a solid 3 star, but the bread stole the show!! Easily 5 stars. Oh, our brioche app with tomato and onion and balsamic glaze was pretty good too! Great customer service, very reasonable prices and really good food! Try them out!

    Life changing bread.

    We were looking for a late lunch in Cullman and it seems most of the town shuts down for a siesta or high tea or something. We may have been a little grumpy ourselves when we finally found something to eat on a recent Saturday excursion. But by the time we left, we were all smiles and our bellies were definitely full! For an app we got bruschetta and toast and I liked that it was really fresh and light. (4/5) The baked spaghetti was good, but I wasn't crazy about the sauce so I gave it 3/5. But that piece of garlic bread on the side ... oh my goodness! I could eat that every day for the rest of my life. 1000 stars for the garlic bread! Thank you Grumpys for curing our hangry attitudes... and also for being an hour away from me so I don't have to buy a new wardrobe for all the weight I would gain!

    Medium calzone!?!?! Are you sure!?!? This thing is massive!

    Wow!!! Huge portions. Calzone was great and totally filled with toppings. Great beer selection & live music. Food was hot & fresh.

    Sweetest little server. Haven't had great success in great food in Cullman Al. The Italian food here was mediocre. We were very hungry so it was a Cullman has to offer. Wanted to order a Calazone, unfortunately they did not offer personal sized Calazones

    My mom read an article in Southern Living featuring this restaurant as the best in Alabama -- or…read moresome similar lofty accolade. We were pleased to find it was in easy driving distance for us, and so off we went to give it a go. Located in the small downtown of Oneonta, we didn't have trouble finding nearby street parking during lunch time. Although the entrance and exterior is low-key, the interior is spacious, airy, and just classy enough for a restaurant that walks a nice line between a finer dining experience and an accessible but high-quality lunch spot. Lofty ceiling, exposed brick, etc. It wasn't super crowded but they were doing a solid business for a midweek lunch. Our waitress was spectacular. She was an older Latina woman with a moderately thick Spanish accent; I'm not sure if she gave us her name. She walked my dad to the restroom when we first arrived, patiently answered questions (both menu and non-menu related...my endlessly curious dad can and will chat up anybody!!), and provided great recommendations. She brought us to-go drinks and boxes without asking (though we definitely needed them!). She was just so perfectly attentive, warm, and gracious. HUGE kudos! Their menu consists of pasta dishes and upscale American and Italian classics like filet mignon and chicken Parmesan. They also have a few more lunch-y items like a steak sandwich. Entrees come with bread and salad for the table. There are jars of delicious, buttery, smooth and herbaceous olive oil waiting on each table to go with the bread. It was perfect with the warm rolls that were brought out to our table. We couldn't stop eating it. The shared salad was large and loaded with fresh vegetables and other goodies, including banana peppers, olives, tomatoes, and red onions. The house dressing was lightly acidic and enjoyable. We got a plate of fried ravioli to share to start. It was delicious! The cheese was SO gooey and there was no shortage of it inside the crispy, salty, breaded ravioli. The dipping sauce wasn't overly sweet and complemented it perfectly. For entrees, my dad ordered a blackened chicken salad, my mom got fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and vegetables (I know she kept mushrooms and peppers but asked for no broccoli), and I got crispy chicken Parmesan. They will grill the chicken if you prefer. This came with my choice of one of my three pasta sauces: tomato basil, Alfredo, or creamy tomato basil, which is half and half tomato basil/alfredo. At the encouraging of our waitress, I went with the creamy tomato basil. Everything was absolutely delicious. My dad's salad was probably the weak link though was still quite tasty -- serves him right for getting a salad at an Italian restaurant. ;). It was huge and the chicken was cooked very well, not at all dry. Mom absolutely loved hers and was very impressed at how beautifully and subtly all the different flavors played together. The creamy tomato basil sauce on my pasta was absolutely fantastic and a great recommendation. The spaghetti was cooked perfectly. My chicken Parmesan was maybe the *tiniest* bit overcooked (edges were a little chewy), but the inner pieces were succulent and the breading and melted cheese on top was delightful. Everything tasted so fresh and flavorful. It was truly a delightful dining experience. This would be a great road trip for special occasions like an anniversary or even just for a fun way to treat yourself. Please give them a try if you're anywhere nearby. I hope to return in the future despite the distance.

    The food here is amazing and it's all priced really well. The service is nice and friendly and…read moreeverything is very clean. If you're in Oneonta definitely stop by and try this place!
