I came here with a group of co-workers for lunch. It was a neat open space with a welcoming atmosphere and a large bar. They looked like they had a pretty great beer menu, but alas we were all on the clock. Service was attentive, and everyone enjoyed the food they ordered -- salads, wraps, and sandwiches. I ordered the chicken avocado sandwich, which was very messy to eat but also quite yummy. I loved their french fries. This would be a really fun spot to watch a game.

Gyro wrap with fries
Kimber M.

Megan took stellar care of us! It was our 1st time, and we were there celebrating my bday. She offered great suggestions and made sure we liked what we got. It was noisy, and felt a little bit like a "hooters lite" with the way the servers were dressed and the way some of the men were ogling them, but if you can get past that - they have an expansive menu.

Greek salad with grilled chicken
Nancy H.

One of the best greek salads I've had. Everything was so fresh and the grilled chicken was SO good. The portion itself is enough for 2 people. My husband got the buffalo chicken wrap with fries and he loved it. Big portion as well. 5 stars and will definitely be ordering again. Update: their buffalo parm wings are SO GOOD!

Good sports bar with plenty of drink and tv options available. Food is mediocre in my experience. Nachos were good after a long night out and they were open late.

Old Fashioned made with EH Taylor small batch and Luxardo cherries.

Grumpy Goat Tavern - Bullet burger with crispy French Fries.

The Grumpy Goat feels like a rustic supper club but with an energetic vibe and signature menu items highlighted with a goat. The Bulleit Bourboun burger and fries were outstanding, and I look forward to returning and trying a steak. We held a meeting for nearly 70 people in their back room and had helpful amenities needed and tasty food. People especially liked the skillet dip and sausage and peppers. Plenty of on-site parking too and an innovative cocktail menu in addition to standard beer, seltzers and wines. And I could tell from the conversations between servers and customers in the bar area, that there are many regulars who keep coming back here. I can definitely see why. Thank you again, Chris and team for an outstanding experience.

I went there twice. Once for dinner with my wife and daughter, and we sat in the dining room. The…read moreother time was with a friend and we sat in the bar area. See, Grumpy Goat consists of two indoor dining areas and an outdoor seating area within a slightly larger building also that has a locker room, golf shop, and meeting room. The food ranges from pub food, to sandwiches, to flatbreads, to great steaks. Both times, the bar area was louder and people tend to focus on drinks and appetizers there. There's a separate dining room beyond the bar area where full dinners seem more common. Given that my 2 trips were in November and December, don't have a good sense for the outside area. I could just see that there are several tables overlooking the golf course. On certain nights, they have live music. Great variety of drinks, appetizers, sandwiches/burgers, and entrees. Can go inexpensive, or can get a filet mignon and spent a lot. Filling choices. Prices are quite reasonable.

Culinary Fox Cafe - Cuban sandwich with side of potato salad

Checked this place out based on the 5 star reviews! It did NOT DISAPPOINT! Everything scratch…read moremade including soups, sauces, quiches and even the salad dressing! Pulled pork is Chef & owner's pride & joy, smoked in-house of course. Our table of three enjoyed the beef stroganoff soup, Italian wedding soup, Julienne salad, Panini and pulled pork sandwich and roasted veggie focaccia grinder all of which were OUTSTANDING. Chef sat and chatted with house and explained he makes everything from scratch except the buns and bread - those he gets from Turano Bakery. He even buys his produce from farms nearby. We will definitely be coming back time and time again. We especially want to try his "almost every" Friday Fish Fry. He doesn't run it every Friday but check the website and it will give you the next date. He said it is legendary and has sort of a cult following. Even recommended to order your fish orders a few days ahead as they often sell out. He will have fried and baked haddock and then a few other fish specials that change each time. Sometimes a shrimp or a scallop or a walleye feature. Service was terrific. Donna was very attentive and helpful! Plenty of parking! Don't let the exterior deter you...this is a terrific GEM of a place. Very small and cozy...about 7 tables. Definitely Recommend!

The location was on the back of a building along Randall Rd. There was a lighted sign which helped. Yelp directions got us there. The cafe was modest size with about 6 tables. Food was ordered along a counter. Ingredients were fresh and good quality. The service was good and the staff very pleasant. The wait time for the food was appropriate considering everything was made from scratch. I ordered a Cuban sandwich. It was delicious and was served with a side (I chose potato salad). There were cucumbers, tomato, and pickle as a garnish. My friend had the California Chicken Club and commented that there was fresh chicken breast not just lunch meat. We both enjoyed having lunch there and would return again. I recommend this little cafe. They also seemed to have many customers who picked up food for carry out.
