    Amazing staff snd food!!! Had a double hamburger and onion rings along with a Lemon beer. The bartender was hot and recommend this beer. Ordered food was fast and do good we will comeback. The restaurant was extremely clean and many friendly people inside. Parking was easy and plenty of space.

    "Left GRUMPY afterwards!!!" -Location and vibe of restaurant is cool. Can't go wrong with two garage door windows. Opens up to spacious outdoor seatings. -Bar decor (see pix.) Anything on tap is usually good. There were a few local brew offerings. My timing was off, got a last half pour and Keg needed changing. Pretty sure i got a half old half new pint. Very flat "bootsy." -Was hoping for a super bomb, smashed burger. Fixing was fresh, but nothing amazing that stands out. Beef patty had more of a "over smashed, on the grill too long" flavor then anything else -Onion rings wasn't crispy. Kid likes the tots. Hopefully they kick the burger game up a notch. We pass by all the time heading East on 80.

    Repeat customer! Friendly service. Ordered~ Crispy Chicken Sandwich 5/5 Onion Rings 5/5 Tater Tots 5/5 I just love the friendly warm vibe of this place. Outside dining is perfection in nice weather. Recommend!

    Grumpy burger  with fries, onion rings and chocolate custard shake!
    Carl M.

    Chocolate custard shake: 5 stars, but next time I'll ask for it in a beer glass, instead of an ocean-polluting throwaway plastic cup . Grumpy burger: 5 stars, no complaints! Yummy!! Burger bowl: wife polished it all off. She is Polish, after all...5 stars. French fries: 5 stars, 6 if I could do that. Fresh, hot, appropriately salty. Onion rings: overcooked for my taste but wife liked them. There was one that was less cooked than the others and that one was perfect. 4 stars. House made sauces: quite good but a little of the dilly ranch goes a long way. Still, 5 stars. Atmosphere: pleasant. Big tv for the sports fans, lovely fireplace in the corner. I want to sit next to it on my next visit. Neat and clean restaurant. 5 stars. Service: cheerful and friendly. 5 stars. Beer selection: meh. Only one dark(ish) beer and it's a boring one. I hate IPAs, so I like to see a nice porter or stout on a beer menu. I skipped beer since there was nothing really for me. 2 stars for that. Price: $46 for the two of us. On par for the current market if you ask me. Well done, Grumpy! We will be back!

    Chili cheese fries and cookies and cream milkshake
    Doc P.

    Wonderful customer service!! Staff is super nice! Great smash burger, really good crispy bacon!! Chili cheese fries were super good too, fries nice and crispy, chili nice and hearty. Really good milkshake as well. Overall great experience!

    Smack bugger and tots
    Jorge G.

    I was on my way to a different bugger establishment but then thought about supporting small businesses. Let me tell you this place did not disappoint. The food was delicious. The place was very open, had plenty of seats inside and out, and had a bar. They also had TVs everywhere to enjoy sports games. I had the double smash with cheese added jalapeño and and order of tater tots with a side of grumpy sauce. Omg the bigger had amazing flavor , the patty was perfectly cooked. The tots were nice and crispy. I'm glad I stopped by to support them.

    Grumpy burger with cheese, onion rings and a grilled chicken salad.

    Had lunch here after seeing it from the freeway. The Smashburger I ordered was very good. The house made burger sauce was excellent and the produce was fresh. My only issue is that the burger patty was a little too thin. The menu says it's a quarter pound patty but when smashed, get's pretty thin. Perhaps a 1/3 pound patty would be a better choice. The onion rings were good and the ranch dressing to dip them in was flavorful. There is no table service but employees stopped by the table a couple times to make sure everything was good with us. The restrooms were clean and properly stocked with towels, soap, etc. This was a good experience and I'll be back.

    Krispy Chicken Sandwich, undercooked
    Megan T.

    We placed a pick up order for a burger and chicken sandwich, both cut in half. They did not notice that half the chicken sandwich was raw after it had been cut. Hope they didn't use that knife to cut other patron's food. Otherwise, onion rings, tots & ranch were good. Burger was decent, but messy. Order was ready for pick up on time.

    Order ready Buzzer

    Newly opened burger joint in Auburn working out the kinks in service. 12:43 on a Wednesday & the lot was full(shared lot with Black Bear Dinner) 20 wait was stated when we placed our order, no prob. Ordered Grumpy cheese burger, Grumpy burger,tots, onion rings & a chocolate custard shake. Sat outside,heat lamps @ the long community bar. All the outdoor tables were full. Inside fireplace tables were also pretty full. Seating at the bar as well. All the food was delicious, however it took about an hour from ordering to be notified by the ready Buzzer for pickup. Smash burgers were thin, crunchy on the edges, grilled onions, tomatoes, lettuce, pickles. Tots were hot & crunchy with a dill ranch dip similar to tartar sauce, excellent. Onion rings were lukewarm but plenty of crunch. Four or five TVs inside running sports reruns. Numerous local craft beer on tap,but they were outta four of them. Wine also available. I'm hoping they will work out the hiccups,get the crew in sync & remain successful. Most likely will return.

    Found this little gem while driving up out of the Sacramento valley fog. It's a smashburger place! YUMMY!!! We both had a bacon and cheese smashburger, him plain, me with everything! It was mouthwatering! Of course they offer variations and other things like chicken sandwiches. Not sure what other sides they have but I had the fries, which were perfectly crisp and my husband had tots, also nice and crunchy. They have several beers on tap and soft drinks. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The inside has several tvs and is comfortable with a varity of seating.

When you walk up to Crooked Lane Brewing, you notice the exquisite architecture. It stands out, as it should! When you get a little closer, you notice the big tinted windows and a beautiful patio for outdoor seating. **Bonus!! They are pet friendly for the patio area! When you walk in, it's vibrant, very modern with very high ceilings. It's a very big a spacious area with long tables and tall chairs throughout. There is a long bar top with tall chairs, too. Behind them, is a window where you can see the fermentation vessels. **fun fact Throughout the various stages of brewing, the beer is moved between a few different specialized tanks, each with a specific name. My friend was already there, and I walked up to the front and checked out their beer lists. I really liked that they had craft hard seltzers. Those are so delicious in a hot summer day. I went with the pomegranate raspberry orange... aka, the Pro! They had plenty to choose from. They were nice enough to give me a few tasters. They also offer a few wines and they had 2 frozen icee machines twirling with frozen Lemon Berry Seltzer and frozen lemonade I walked with my drink to sit with my friend. While looking around, I saw that they sell the chips from a local merchant called The Crazy Gringo.. who I have purchased salsa/tamales from at the Auburn Faith Farmers Market (Thursdays). There are shirts, snacks, mugs, and more. A wedding just happened to finish on the other side where there is more outdoor seating. **Bonus, this is a great place for big gatherings whether it's a birthday or another type of gathering, book it here!! While sitting and chatting, you can smell their delicious pizza. So I walked up to grab a menu and ended up ordered the pepperoni & sausage pizza.... yes, with ranch! They brought it out to us with cheese and peppers, too. I would compare it to a small size, definitely bigger than a personal size pizza. Great amount of toppings... mmm!! This one is pretty good. It was great without ranch, but I had to try their ranch and that was tasty. We hung out there for a while and it really started to get busy. Sometimes, there is a taco truck outside and it smells super good Crooked Lane Brewery is family-friendly and offers beer flights. They have a few TVs for sports. The food here is limited as there is no in-house kitchen, but features rotating food trucks. In house they offer pizzas, small bites appetizers, salad and sandwiches. They occasionally have events like live music and trivia nights, and I like that they support the women's Iron Rose Football Club. Next time I'm here, I'm going for a beer flight!

Everything that my friends and I ordered was VERY GOOD. We all ordered a different type of fry on the side and they were all VERY GOOD. This is the kind of place where every thing on the menu is VERY GOOD. It is definitely not the healthiest place you could eat at because their focus is on the food being VERY GOOD. Nevertheless, even the healthy options like the mushroom ciabatta sandwich and the zucchini fries were VERY GOOD. Toasted to a perfect crisp, buttery, freaking delicious. The restaurant itself has a local charm. The ambiance is dictated by what the locals need, not the city people coming in to rent a lake house for the weekend (myself, my boyfriend, and his tech friends). It's refreshing to be somewhere that feels more like a genuine small town tavern than a flashy restaurant that covers itself in flowers and sculptures to be a photoshoot op for you and your girlfriends.
