The sign at the front counter said it all: "Fast food is not good. Good food is not fast." I read other reviews and was just as happy with the service and quality of food. Prices are very reasonable for the quality and quantity of portions. Overall, we had a great experience at this restaurant. We posted several pictures of our food. We also had the BTL, children's grilled cheese, a few malts, and a sno-ball to go. Everything was good and left is with no disappointments or regrets. We had a large order and we did have to wait about 50-60 minutes for our food, but I guess we expected that after reading other reviews. I might suggest that you order ahead and take out or arrive when it's ready and eat in. read more

Super clean place, including the restrooms. We had burgers. Had mine on a poboy with a Barqs in the bottle. Perfect and the service was impeccable read more

I wonder if it's called Grumpy's because that is how you feel after you wait over an hour to get your food. It was very hard not to walk out. I has never taken so long to get food ever. There was one larger party of about 10 people and another couple of women seated when we arrived. We ordered just after we walked in. My husbands side salad came after 30 minutes. 40 plus minutes later his red beans and rice with sausage was served along with my cup of gumbo. My shrimp salad came out 5 minutes later. The food tasted good. It was hot and fresh. It just took too long to be served. Did they run out of something and have to go buy more? As we left we noticed the car we had parked next to was now in a different spot and facing out when it had been in when we arrived. The service was unremarkable. After taking our order and bringing water the waitress never checked on us. She never explained why the food was so slow or if we needed anything while we waited. Other customers complained about the delay with the food. read more

Grumpy's - Red beans and rice and cup of seafood gumbo. - Southern Near Me - Paradis, Louisiana

We stopped by Grumpy's after our airboating tour. Loved the food and atmosphere. It felt like an old diner. The female server was very helpful to us tourists. I was a PoBoy rampage when we were in New Orleans so I ordered a shrimp poboy. It was decent! Freshly made for sure. We had a catfish PoBoy and that was awesome! Fried chicken PoBoy was good. Friend Cauliflower .. Yum!. Onion rings to die for! It was a fun experience ! And had decent food! read more

Good, homemade food. Everything is priced very cheaply, daily lunches and family operated. Great service.

Great place to try my first gumbo ever was very surprised with how it did not taste like fish but filled with great flavor next time I will definitely ask for more rice. read more

Grumpy's - First time eating gumbo and it is not what I imagined does not taste like seafood one bit filled with flavor. - Southern Near Me - Paradis, Louisiana

Stayed in houma and wanted to meet a friend from Kenner halfway. Lol there was really nothing halfway but saw this place with good reviews and decided to try it. Place is easy to miss bc no big signs really so look out for it. Such a nice comfy place to eat. Our waitress was definitely amazing and friendly. The definition of southern hospitality. Had a caramel milkshake, oyster poboy and mozzarella sticks. I have nothing bad to say. The oysters were fried really well the batter was tasty. The mozzarella surprisingly has a lot of gooey cheese it was better than a lot of mozzarella I've tried and the batter was good. If you like mozzarella sticks. Try it. Friend had the special corn and crab bisque in a bread bowl. The soup was flavorful. Bread bowl was okay nothing special. read more

Grumpy's - Great lunch! Thank you! - Southern Near Me - Paradis, Louisiana

The food was great and the price was fair. The only thing that annoyed a bit was that it was really slow.

I think it's called grumpy cause you leave that way after eating :) it's definitely not the service as that was excellent and courteous and sweet. Don't order the side salad as it should be called side lettuce as it's just shredded iceberg. Sorry but a salad is a mix of greens. The gumbo was ok but like someone else said it's tiny shrimp and shouldn't be. Wasn't much else in it but tasted just ok. Had the hamburger steak and that was just mediocre as well. Small town diner feel but food lacked for me. I was thinking it was going to be good with a slogan like fast food is not good and good food takes time. You should add quality ingredients to make the latter true. read more

Heard that they had good burgers. Order myself a regular cheese burger and it did not live up to the hype. They used frozen beef (which is not really a problem) but it had a funny taste like, they didn't cook it long enough. The beef, It was hot but watery. Also idk why they love Elvis so much, all the pictures of him in the restaurant just seems so obsessive. I'll give them a second chance soon, and I WILL be writing another review ;). read more

Definitely worth the stop on the way to Grand Isle. Soft shell crab poboy and shrimp Poboy were excellent. read more

Such a cute little restaurant! Been coming here since i was a little girl and lovee it! The food is soo good, never disappointed & the staff is always super friendly and accommodating! My favorite is the roast beef and some cheese fries!! read more

Stop by after reading other reviews, we also like supporting smaller restaurants instead of the chain food restaurants. I ordered the catfish poboy with a small side order of potato salad. The poboy was great and potato salad was homemade which was awesome. Husband ordered catfish & shrimp platter, fish and shrimp were crispy and seasoned just right. We will definitely stop back in when we are in the area. read more

I have been sitting here for an hour I told the waitress and she said sorry they got slammed. There were six customers in front of me

This place is really clean. The service is friendly. The crawfish kickers were excellent. Hopefully this address listed below will help: 14822-14830 Highway 90 Paradis, LA 70080 United States Back to the review. We had the poboy sandwiches. Chicken and Shrimp. It was good. It's worth finding. read more

I had the shrimp poboy. It was delicious. Shrimp was battered and fried very well. Crispy on the outside, and soft in the inside. The restaurant was simple, clean, and friendly. If I find myself here on this side of Louisiana again, I will surely return. Oh and the crawfish kickers were awesome! read more

Grumpy's - This is 1/2 of the shrimp poboy. - Southern Near Me - Paradis, Louisiana

The food was absolutely delicious!!@ The staff was very friendly and helpful, I will definitely visit there again...a gem in a forest!

Waited 1 hour & 20 minutes for a hamburger on French Not complicated???? It must have been more complicated than it sounds??? This sandwich was 9", they had 1 (one) 6oz Patty Cut in half, how cheap can you get, no fries, bill $9.95. Don't waste your money, I like supporting local but they are not even in the ballpark to please the customer.......... read more

This place is awesome! I wanted to try everything on the menu, but I stook to the seafood. The po-boys, soups, side salads, crawfish pies, and crawfish popper things were delicious. No doubt dessert would've been good, too; if only I had room left for it. read more

I love the food I love the people they treat you like family ever time you go in I wish the would update but overall I can't say enough about how good their food is love their roast beef sandwiches read more

The cheeseburger was on point Saturday and the bread pudding was amazing. If you're in the area definitely stop by you will not be disappointed read more

Really good home cooking! I have been here about four or five times in the last two months. I have tried many different things on the menu and so far everything was good. Has to be some of the best onion rings and potato salad. The breaded pork chop dinner is delicious and so was the hamburger steak and spaghetti and meatballs. Oh dont forget to get a chocolate malt. Classic diner style atmosphere where the service is always good. Sometimes it may take a little while to get your food but they cook to order and its worth it. I will be coming back here a lot! read more

Stopped on the way home from casino. Friend told us about this place., but was better then they said. This place on the outside looks like it's not open. When you enter things are different. It has a 50's diner motiff. Only one waitress. But the food was exellent. Started with the cup of gumbo. Like mama use to make, okra with lots of shrimp. Could use a little smoke sauage and a crab claw, but still good. My wife had the hamburger steak with steak fries and gravey, very good. I had the Soft Shell crab with crawfish corn bread dressing and a delish white sauce. This was so good i could cry. All in all this place was way better than expected. Would stop there everytime we pass. read more

The food was good and the service was nice. It just took FOREVER to get our food. I had a hot sausage po boy and my fiancé had a club sandwich. We shared some fried mushrooms. Sandwiches shouldn't take that long to make, but we were there waiting for about 45 minutes. We were the only customers at the time so it wasn't because it was busy. The food was really good though just had to wait way too long for it. read more

Excellent food and customer service! The cheeseburger was juicy, hot and delicious. The "sweet tater tots" were awesome!! My part had a Local Flavor certificate, and it was gladly accepted with a smile. They were very friendly. It was my first time there, and I DEFINITELY will be returning!!! We eat out up to 5 times a week, so we now have another great place to put in our rotation. Thanks Grumpy's!!! read more

A clean, southern diner. Ordered shrimp and catfish po-boys. Dynamite. Still yearn for their flavor after sampling the legendary Johnny's Po-boys in New Orleans, which couldn't touch these. read more

As other reviewers stated, very friendly service in a clean, simple place with a few nostalgic decorations. My dad and I were the only ones dining in at 3:20pm and some might say the service was still a bit slow, but we were in no hurry. Then I noticed that a couple of people dropped by to pick up to-go orders, so the staff were not slacking. We both had a bowl of seafood gumbo and also a half po-boy (ham for him, shrimp for me). And there were at least 10 other things that I wanted to order but didn't because I would be stuffed (and at the end, I was indeed stuffed). By the way, the Yelp description is inaccurate with respect to alcohol; they do have a few common domestic beers. The bowl of gumbo was large and tasty but initially disappointing because the shrimp were quite small. I'm a fan of fewer but larger shrimp, although admittedly most gumbo I've had has had similarly small shrimp. I don't know which way is traditional or if there even is a single tradition. Nonetheless, it turned out that we got so many small ones that we had a shrimp in every bite. The half po-boys were equally generous (and mine had quite a few medium-sized shrimp on it). I really wanted some boudin balls as an app and some ice cream later, but there just wasn't enough room. read more

I remember my mom taking all of my brothers and sisters from Bayou Gauche to a special event, going to Grumpy's, Ms. Ann was always there to take our order and it was the only restaurant that had real nacho cheese for there cheese fries! It always took a little time to get your order but when it came it was the BEST! read more

Went here tonight for the first time and Ann the owner was our server and I have to say on top of amazing home cooked food she was the nicest most enjoyable person to speak with! We live in Hahnville and have gone to every place around here to eat and this was the best by far. I highly recommend the gravy fries and white beans!! Oh and they sell snowballs! If you good home cooked deliciousness, great service and attitudes grumpys is the place to go!! read more

it's our first time visit Been waited for the waiter a while before she showed up Nice lady but food was not good all was instant quick like from the boxes not real home cooking and pricey! kinda disappointed We will not come back read more

So happy we stopped by! I love little finds like this. My husband had the club. He said it was great and would come back again for it. I had the grilled chicken Po Boy; the seasoning of the chicken and the grilled onions and mushrooms made it absolutely delicious! We will definitely be going back again. Everything was very clean. Service was excellent, loved her humor(: read more

I have been coming to Grumpy's since I was in high school and I am now in my early thirties. I moved away and have not eaten there in a couple years. Today I ordered a cheeseburger combo and it is still as good as I remember it! I've always loved their big, thick steak fries with seasoning on them. Yummy! The hamburger is big, thick, and juicy. Just a little tip. Sometimes they can get really busy so if you are short on time call ahead and order. Also, the owner there is super sweet and when I was younger and used to call to order she would remember my name and my favorite drink and meal. That's pretty cool. I would definitely recommend Grumpy's! read more
