What a great setting AND amazing food. It's such a hidden gem in a quaint town off of 40 in Arkansas. Definitely worth making the stop. We had the gouda mac and cheese as well as soup and salad. Everything is sourced locally. The staff was awesome and we even met the owners. They were so gracious with their time. And their history with the town is heart warming. Highly recommend! read more

I have been twice. Food is very good. They are very attentive with great service. The decor is amazing for an old downtown business. Impressive!! I've had a steak that was delicious. The second time was a burger that was big and juicy. It was nice to go to place where they cared about your dining experience and wanted you to be completely satisfied. Recommend!! read more

Great service! Had the black-eye pea hummus...It was delicious! Loved the decor and grumpy rabbit theme

Sort of a little hole-in-the-wall restaurant, but we'll worth stopping in! A rotating daily menu wit specials each day, all have been scrumptious. They do special meals and menus for holidays and special occasions, which are well worth your time. They have a real (and creative!) chef that puts a lot of love and effort into what comes out of his kitchen. For a southern palate, I strongly recommend the orange soda collard greens! If you're passing through Lonoke, this is a recommended stop. Full bar, very friendly staff, and best of all, great eats! read more

For a small town the GR has the food down pat! Kevin the GM has a tight running ship there and all the servers are very friendly and attentive to what customers want. We blew into the GR on our way to TN on Saturday and found the place on the main drag of a little town that now we know is famous for raising "Goldfish" for the country! Who would of thought! Anyway Kevin talked to us about the property and the town to 15+ minutes we ordered the blue cheese Fettachini with a small salad and split it. That was just super delicious! Congrats to the cooks, staff and owners who made that leg of the trip a real experience we will never forget.....PS, get a GR tee shirt because really who isn't "Grumpy".........Ken & MJ from Texas read more

Food is overpriced, and very slow service literally stood at the door for 20 minutes before anyone acknowledged us to take us to the table. I wasn't impressed with the breakfast at all. For a small town that doesn't have many food options, maybe try to lower prices. read more

We ran in for lunch after my Sister In Law said yes to the dress in Brinkley. This place was incredible. We had the tots - which were perfection. There were burgers, salads, meat loafs and all of it was excellent. The best thing though was the incredible service. Cassie was our waitress and she was warm, welcoming, helpful, all while she was busy as hell. Cannot recommend more highly. read more

Awesome, awesome, awesome! I don't care where you are from, it is worth the trip. Service was great. Food was incredible and the Mrs loved the attention to detail of the building. Absolutely one of the best places to eat in Arkansas. read more

The wife and I dined there on a Saturday for lunch. I had the hamburger, it was awesome, the wife had the Cobb salad, she said it was good as well. Had the mozzarella sticks for an appetizer, while good and quit large, they came to the table lukewarm, not hot, like they were ready and sat for a while. Waitress was okay, she made a lot of trips doing only one thing when she should have multi tasked. They were not real busy, thank goodness for that. Overall experience was good but could have been better. I will try them for an evening meal meal and see how good it is. read more

Day 3 of a drive across country - California to Tennessee - my mom and I were staying outside of Little Rock, Arkansas in Lonoke, and I was tired of road food. Did a restaurant search and Grumpy Rabbit was one of the suggestions that came up. So glad it's the one we chose! The food was delicious - omg, the poutine - the staff was warm and friendly, and the whole vibe was fun, fancy, and funky without being off-putting. read more

This is a find and must visit place when visiting Little Rock area. Worth the few minutes drive. Wonderful delicious food and very addicting. I can't wait till I am able to visit again. read more

Can't believe this place exists in a such a "small" town. Everything about this place is fantastic... food, service, atmosphere. You have to see it to believe it. Can't wait to go back. read more

The carrots are delish! My favorite is "The Board". Drinks are good too. The atmosphere is nice.

I happened on this place and was so glad I did. I don't usually write reviews, but this place shouldn't be kept a secret. Like other reviews I read, it doesn't look like much when you first walk in, but when you're escorted down the hall into another room, there is a very nice bar and dining room. I didn't see the whole place, I was told they have a patio and upstairs with a bar as well. The building is very old and interesting, decorated in great taste. Great ambience. I ordered the grilled pork chop. I travel continuously with my work, and I've had $50-$60 pork chops in, so called five star restaurants that don't come close to the one I had at the Grumpy Rabbit. Very impressive flavor, really tender, and plenty big enough for big eaters. The staff are all very friendly and professional. They take great care to make sure everything is as you like it. My expectations were exceeded. If you're ever in the area, definitely go check this place out. Very worth it. read more

We stopped in here on our way back to Dallas after a random Google search for lunch places. So glad we did!! It blew our expectations out of the water. I got the Swamp Grits. Delicious!! My dad got the Corned Beef Hash and he said it was the best he'd ever had. read more

Amazing food cute downtown great wait staff. Steak and the gouda mac and cheese amazing. Worth the money

We pulled up about 2 doors down on Front street on a Sunday morning for brunch. We could see that the place already had some traffic but we were excited to try this place that was rated highly on Open Table (where we made our reservation prior to arriving). I will say that the hostess and the servers as well as the manager were incredibly friendly. I'm not sure they saw my request for a window table on my reservation, because I certainly requested one via Open Table, and so noticed we were seated in the middle of the floor where we could clearly see s couple of booths and a window table available, but they were so nice it really wasn't worth making a fuss over. The menu is pretty straight forward and we know what we like. We came for the pancakes. We had the coffee first, which was SUPER AWESOME (Westrock brand, apparently; you know we HAD to ask lol). They serve cocktails on Sunday morning, y'all!!! They have a special license that allows them to. SCORE. Okay so the food comes out. Looks amazing, but definitely could have been warmer. Tasted great, though, in spite of that. Besides, the place started to fill up pretty rapidly after we were seated, so the kitchen was definitely under pressure. I'd strongly recommend this restaurant and I'll definitely be back! read more

This place will surprise you. Don't give up when approaching from the surrounding hotel area off Exit 175. It's clean, modern, and the food was fresh and tasty, the beers nice and cold. read more

Very low key in appearance but don't let that keep you from going in. They have daily lunch specials. I was there on a Friday which was Fried Chicken day. Oh my that was the best fried chicken. The crusty was light but flavorful and crunchy. My lunch date and I enjoyed the food and the server was busy but attentive. We stayed and visited about 2 hours and nothing was said. I will be back! Thank you! read more

Definitely worth getting off the interstate!! The atmosphere and food were amazing. Check out the patios up and downstairs. Such a great space. We shared a chicken Caesar salad and the swamp grits which had crawfish, shrimp and red fish in a wonderful sauce over grits. Kevin and Becky were so friendly! This will be a planned stop each time we pass by Lonoke. read more

Driving through and found this gem! Super-friendly staff and AMAZING food! Located in a super cute area that is easy to find. We were greeted by every citizen the moment we started getting out of our van. Lonoke, Arkansas does it right! We are definitely adding The Grump Rabbit to our list for our next trip! read more

Fantastic food, great ambiance, service was lacking. The food was excellent and I felt like it was reasonably priced. It took a little while to make it to our table, but the restaurant was busy and when we got our food it was hot and didn't seem like it had been sitting. We ordered desserts to go and they were excellent as well. The service, on the other hand, needs some improvement. Our waitress was very polite but very very inattentive. She was eager to accommodate, but seemed unfamiliar with the menu. Like I said, the restaurant was very busy, so that may have contributed, but for the price I definitely expect a little more attention. It wasn't so bad that we won't go back and the food is good enough to draw us back. read more

Delicious food, great service, clean, decorated nicely, quaint downtown area, friendly service, accommodations pleasing to the wye

Treat yourself to a dinner at The Grumpy Rabbit!! My husband and I went there for our anniversary, and we were quite impressed. We went online to make a reservation, and they included a special occasion option. Since we told them it was our anniversary, they reserved a great table for us upstairs at the window. I thought it was a very nice touch! We ordered way too much food because we wanted to try a few different dishes, and everything was good!! The crawfish poutine fries were super yummy and a HUGE portion. It's easily shareable. For dinner we ordered the blackened redfish and the Gouda Mac with chicken. Both dishes were excellent, but the Gouda Mac was the best bite of the night!! The chicken on it was absolutely delicious--worth the add on. Again, huge portions. We took lots of food home. The carrot cake was outstanding as well. The restaurant has great atmosphere and decor. There are bars both upstairs and downstairs which was nice. Our server, Sydney, was very good. Honestly the only complaint I have is that there are several large TVs hanging on the walls, and they seemed out of place for this type of restaurant. They really should get rid of them in my opinion. Overall we had a great experience, and we will be back!! read more

Super Easter brunch! Excellent spicy shrimp and grits! Husband had red eye gravy and loved it! Service was great!

We were driving through Arkansas on a road trip and this restaurant popped up as an option. I'm sooo glad we stopped. The staff and owner were just fantastic. I mean, EVERYONE was smiling and friendly, especially our waitress Chloe. The food was great too! I'm not sure we'll be in that area again but if we are we will definitely go back. Highly recommend! read more

Fabulous ambiance and scrumptious food! It is definitely worth getting off of I-40 for the experience. The carrot dill vinaigrette is delicious--as is the carrot cake. Highly recommend. read more

Three of us visited for a lunch. The Wednesday special was rigatoni with Bolognese sauce with homemade ricotta. The special comes with one side which could be mac & cheese (with rigatoni?), mashed potatoes (??), a dish of greens ( cooked with orange drink (???), or a side salad. I opted for the side salad. One of us ordered the greens based on the waitress's recommendation. (He was not impressed; neither was I based on a small taste). The rigatoni and sauce were reasonably good. The teaspoon of ricotta was on the grainy side. (We thought Parmesan would have been a better choice.) A third companion ordered a Cobb salad and asked for crackers. The salad was good; the crackers arrived at about the time he finished the salad. The wait staff needs time in grade and training. We thought the spot difficult to justify battling I40 traffic coming and going from Little Rock. read more

My husband and I decided to try the grump rabbit for lunch one day. When We get to the restaurant ,we asked where can we seat, the reason to ask is because my husband had angle surgery, he can't go upstairs. We saw first floor had a lot empty tables, but when ask waitress where can we seat, the waitress said you have to go upstairs, so other waitress on the upstairs will get a tip. We said we can't go upstairs, the waitress said," oh we have elevator " my husband said if something happen and elevator won't work , i can't get down. The waitress still want us go to upstairs, then we said we are going to leave now. Then they said, you can stay at first floor now, but it was too late. We will never go Grump Rabbit again. read more

Well worth getting off the interstate and passing up fast food. My family of 4 enjoyed a late lunch. Friendly staff, great food, adorable atmosphere. read more

Super cute find on our travels across the country. Scott the server was so pleasant and professional. He recommended the tots as an appetizer...,, yummy and the blackened red fish. I got the house salad and it was a generous portion with the tasty signature dressing. I'm taking the extras with me! Ok, the fried pie dessert...Yes ma'am I would take another if I had any room! Try it! You won't be disappointed! read more

Tried this at lunchtime today with thoughts of bringing friends for dinner, but so glad we came alone first! It was nothing we expected after reading the reviews in the paper. It was not upscale by anyone's definition. It was more of a sports bar with huge TV's everywhere you look. We were looking for a nice, quiet place to enjoy good meals. All a matter of what you're looking for. The Grumpy Rabbit is not for us. read more

This is a great family owned restaurant that i have been to a few a times. I have eaten brunch, lunch and dinner and everything that i have tried has been really good. The only thing I have a problem with it is a bit pricey but i understand it is an upscale restaurant so i would only go there on a nice occasion but other than that i would not go there casually. read more

I was excited to try this place due to the reviews. We stopped here around 12:30 on a Sunday. We were driving from Memphis back to Longview and then I still had to drive to FT. Worth. I thought we would save time and beat the church crowd which we may encounter in Little Rock. Yeah, that was not the case. I had called ahead to make sure it wasnt too busy, and the girl said she would make a reservation for us. great, we are on our way! We waited a little bit to be seated, but not too bad. It was the food that took so long! Our waitress was kind and told us twice that the chef was sorry. They were backed up from a Birthday party they were having. Im pretty sure the party was related to someone there, but it ended up taking them 50 minutes to get us our food. They did ask us if we wanted something while we were waiting so I said some hummus. of course the pita was an issue as they had to grill that, but they brought it with chips, at first. tt was good, but the when they finally brought the pita, that was great! We got our food about 10 minutes later. My breakfast potatoes were cold BUT I didnt say anything. I had eaten the pita bread so I really didnt need to eat the potatoes. :) i really thought they would have given us the hummus on the house, but they did not. Just disappointed I guess, as my expectations were higher due to the reviews. Im hoping management can learn from this review. It would have been nice if someone told us it was going to be a long wait before we had been there for 40 minutes waiting to sit and then after we ordered. It made for a very long day for me!! read more

We got here early passing through. The service was quick and professional. The redfish with tomato cream sauce (with crawfish) over cheese grits was delicious. My wife's wedge salad was fresh and paired with a nice, fruity house Chardonnay. read more

Clean, good tasting food, efficient service, and fair prices. Would come here again!

my friends and I came in for lunch today and the server and the host was amazing but the person bringing out the food wasn't so pleasant she brought out chicken for a salad and my friend order salmon who also stepped outside for a phone call so another friend said something to the young lady who brought it and she went complaining to our server and I heard her say " you never put in anything wrong so either you did or he is bulls*****ing me ... and that was very rude of her so if you go don't say anything to her just speak to your server read more

Arrived in Lonoke sunday morning to charge the car for a few minutes, just in time for the Grumpy Rabbit opening time. Wonderful experience enjoying the building, staff and food! Ask to see a picture book of the renovation. Special shout out to our radiant server Cassi! read more

Stopped in while passing through Lonoke. We chose this restaurant because they offered outdoor dining but we were seated on the back patio which had little air circulation and no fan. Flies were terrible. Granted, it is July but this was disappointing. Service was good. Our food was good but hard to enjoy with the heat and the flies. read more

WOW! Bastille Day Dinner! Excellent set menu perfectly served with an optional wine pairing. It was like an Event! There is something about everyone being served the same courses at the same time! A shared experience! Just sit back and relax! Lots of young staff executed the evening without a hitch! Cheers to the chefs, the kitchen and all wait staff ( who all came out at end of the evening for a bow to a loud applause! How French!)! Looking forward to the next EVENT Sept 15! read more
