    Funktapuss tonight
    Jim W.

    Grumpy's is the consummate Falmouth dive bar. Kinda reminds me of the old Ranch House which was in Marshfield. Old video games and pool tables and lots of signs and stuff to look at all over. If ask for a soda, no free refills. (Lots stars for that) Marty at the door was very cool, the bar staff couldn't care less. So unless you're coming to see a band you absolutely love and this is close, don't bother.

    Walked into what this place on a whim! I had heard Carol was fantastic and we should go say hi! What a place! Unbelievable atmosphere! A very cool joint! Thanks for the cold beer!! We will be back!

    Definitely a place to mingle with the locals. Recently they have done some improvements on the bar itself. There is now an air hockey table along with the two pool tables and dart boards. A new Juke Box as well, though it will blind you if you look at it in the dark. Very flashy. Some new bars and bar stools have popped out throughout the bar. Last I was there they had tape up and I heard rumor of some nice booths moving in... Unfortunately the burrito bus is no more, so no food here unless you bring it yourself. Sunday afternoons there is a jam session and people occasionally bring their dogs, at least in the summer. Sometimes during the week they pull down the projector screen and play movies or wii.

    I've always loved Grumpy's. Always. I've had a lot of good times here over the years hanging with the locals and generally speaking being debaucherous. Since the last time I was here they have taken out the wood stove and put in really nice booths. I mean REALLY nice booths. In that section of the world, there are very few places I can say that I truly have always had fun when I arrive. That section of the world can be...how do I say it?...snotty. Grumpy's has just the right amount of light, and they have porches outside that you can bring your beer out to when you smoke your cigarette. Music your thing? Aside from having bands during the weekends, I happened on Sunday to stumble into a jam. If you play instruments or sing and are a nice person they let you on stage with them. Seriously, you must go here. Seriously.

    Margarita and Captain & Coke. Loved our booth!

    Owners leave bartenders overwhelmed so they ignore 50% of the bar. And they're dickheads about it.

    Looked at many choices for our first night in Falmouth. This was a great choice! We didn't know…read moreit, but it was their first night re-opening too. We got both fresh offerings of oysters to start.- so good. For beverages, I had a Maine IPA & Kate had a pear pressure. We really enjoyed them both. Kate got the Seafood Pot Pie. The good news is we try each others meals. An absolute home run! The scrod, lobster, scallops and shrimp were perfect. Add in Newburg sauce asparagus and spinach, top it with a puff pastry to soak up the sauce-10 out of 10. There is a reason it's a house favorite. I had the baked seafood trio. Shrimp, scrod and scallops, with baked potato and asparagus. 2 u-15 shrimp, 3oz of fresh Chatham scrod and 3 local scallops, done in a lemon beurre blac. A small portion of each but delicious. The baked potato was just like you would hope. Asparagus was underdone, by our tastes, but not knocking the rating over that. Overall 8/10. Will try the blackened mahi mahi next visit. Kate's not budging from the seafood pot pie Our server Taryn was nice and busy. They have runners who are all over the place. Owner? out picking up plates and checking every time to make sure we were happy. Nearly half of my life was spent in the front of the house-that's how I treated every person I encountered in my establishments. This place was crazy busy. Every server, food runner, host etc had a genuine smile. Customers were happy, among them, many locals. Our take; if you are here for a few days or a while, make it a point to enjoy a meal here. Pretty confident you'll be happy you did.

In my experience one can tell a lot from a restaurant's name. With cliche names like "Quarterdeck," "Fisherman's Catch," etc. it's almost guaranteed to be average at best. I don't know why but it's usually true. I got a clam roll which turned out to be a mistake. I got it because I wanted a smaller portion than the platter. But the clams were oversized for a roll and too few in number so it was hard to eat. Good for a platter but for a roll, smaller clams and more of them would be better. But the clams though were fresh, cooked correctly, and the batter was decent, not outstanding. The roll was toasted and buttered, and a small lettuce leaf completed the sandwich. My biggest complaint was the tartar sauce, homemade, which was a disaster. Tasted of little more than plain mayonnaise. Unfortunately the fries were almost room temperature. I wasn't going to say anything but when the waitress came by and asked I told her. She apologized, took them away, and returned with a new platter of fries, a very large portion, and scaldingly hot. I was no longer so hungry but ate a good fraction of them, as leaving them after she brought a replacement just seemed rude. They weren't very good though; greasy and the oil didn't taste fresh. To drink I had a "mocktail" version of a Moscow Mule. It was way too sweet. Without the bite of alcohol it needed something else to tone down the sweetness. It wasn't cheap either. I should have just had a plain ginger ale. I would recommend trying someplace else instead. Lots of choices in the area.

From the second we walked in, the whole place just had an amazing atmosphere. The ambience is honestly one of the best parts about dining here -- you've got that perfect Cape Cod waterfront vibe with the boats in the marina, the breeze coming off the water, and the way the light hits the harbor around sunset makes everything feel super relaxed but still special at the same time. It's the kind of place where you can actually enjoy your meal without feeling rushed, and just take in where you are. On top of that, our waitress Ashley gave us outstanding service. She was genuinely so nice and welcoming right from the start, constantly checking in on us without ever being overbearing. You can tell she really cares about making sure people are having a good experience. She answered all of our questions about the menu, gave great recommendations, and made sure everything came out perfectly. It's rare to get service that feels that attentive but still natural, and she really made our night better. And the food was amazing. Everything came out fresh, hot, and full of flavor. You could tell it was made with care and not just rushed out. Between the service, the ambience, and the quality of the food, this was easily one of the best dining experiences we've had in Falmouth. We'll definitely be coming back, and we hope to get Ashley again next time!

You could feel the energy as soon as you walked in. The bartenders were definitely in the weeds most of the night, but you'd never know it from their attitude -- still friendly, still smiling, and somehow making me feel like I'd been coming there for years (first visit, by the way). Grabbed a veggie pizza (solid choice), a cold beer, and settled in for a couple of hours of great local music and that perfect "this is exactly where I'm supposed to be tonight" vibe. If this is what a random Saturday looks like here, I'll be back.

    Review: Jack's Restaurant and Bar - A Tale of Two Temperatures…read more​If you're looking for a spot in Falmouth where the vibes are high but the Celsius is... conservative, Jack's Restaurant and Bar is your destination. ​I went in with high hopes and a healthy appetite. Here's the breakdown of our culinary "Goldilocks" experience--except nothing was actually hot. ​The Order ​The Boneless Ribeye: This steak was seasoned to perfection and tender enough to make a grown man cry. It had the soul of a five-star meal, but the temperature of a brisk October morning on Old Silver Beach. I'm convinced the chef cooked it beautifully and then gave it a pep talk in a room-temperature hallway for ten minutes before sending it out. ​The Scallops: My companion's scallops were seared wonderfully. They looked like little pillows of heaven. Unfortunately, they were also roughly the same temperature as actual pillows. Delicious? Yes. Did they require a scarf? Possibly. ​The "Lukewarm" Mystery ​It's honestly an impressive feat of physics. To have a crust that crisp on a ribeye and a sear that golden on a scallop, yet have both arrive with the thermal energy of a glass of tap water, defies the laws of thermodynamics. ​Pro Tip: If you're the type of person who always burns their tongue on the first bite, Jack's is your safe haven. You can dive in with the reckless abandon of a seagull hitting a discarded fry. ​The Verdict ​The food at Jack's is legitimately tasty. The flavors are 10/10, the bar scene is lively, and the service is friendly. We didn't even send it back because, frankly, we were too busy enjoying the flavor to care about the lack of steam. It's the only place I've been where the "warm" welcome applies to the steak, too. ​Final Score: (Four stars--would have been five, but I had to check my ribeye for a pulse to see if it was hibernating.)
