Excellent little spot on the water. I highly recommend the house salad, add chicken. My kids both loved the chicken tender basket & the fried cod was also a hit. We love the ambience- it offers outside seating and indoor seating. We opted for the outdoors so we can watch the lake views. The staff was very friendly and quick with cleaning tables. read more

We had a great time at Stumpy's Lakeside Grill. The grilled shrimp were delicious -- perfectly seasoned and cooked just right -- and the store was such a fun place to shop! read more

The view and setup is charming. The food average at best. Onion rings were cold burger was ok and po boy had zero flavor. Made by highschool kids who haven't a clue. But if you want a cold beer and nice view it's worth it read more

Great local dive with excellent fresh food and a great location sitting right on the lake. There is a marina and lots of places to sit outside and inside whichever your preference may be. It's a cool place to hang out and also grab some delicious food. read more

This place is hopping! You get free chips and salsa. Chips are homemade and both their red salsas were very tasty. We went on Taco Tuesday. I got 2 grilled shrimp tacos at $3.69 each. They were prepared very well. Hubby got a HUGE "double down hamburger" -- it was 1 pound of meat!. It was very tasty. There's a condiment bar with fresh tomatoes, lettuce, onions, pickles, jalapeños, pico de gallo. The fries were fresh and crispy. I tried a Blackberry jalapeño margarita with spicy tajin salt on the rim. Excellent! read more

Stumpy's Lakeside Grill - Grilled shrimp tacos - American Near Me - Granbury, Texas

This is probably one of Granbury's most popular restaurants. It is a nice large restaurant that can accommodate a lot of people! You order up at the front where all the clothes are so you could shop while you're in line, and then you go find your seat. The bar and bakery are in a separate area. The line to order started from the door so we had to wait a while. Apparently they have daily specials, and on Fridays it's ribs hence it's extra packed. Unfortunately, they ran out of ribs by 7pm. The catfish basket I ordered was good, I replaced the regular fries with sweet potato fries and they gave a large portion. There's outside seating, you could sit by the lake and eat if you'd like! I would prefer to do so when the weather cools down. read more

Ehh... it was OK. It was a pretty cool place but the food is not so great.

Great atmosphere, plenty of tables and space for everyone. Drinks were amazing. Service was great. Food was okay...

No sure if it's me, or Stumpys, but I enjoyed my food more the past few times I was here. What did I have? The fish tacos, grilled. Very tasty, and the zesty slaw on top very good. So Stumpy's is still an order at the counter, grab a vibratory, pick up your food when vibrates. Works for me. Free tortilla chips, and salsa, are still available. Stumpy's also has a full bar, and a cold Shiner went well with my tacos. Indoor and outdoor places to sit. And the lake views are great no matter where you sit. read more

All food was great and being outside was great! The help was very courteous right on top of every thing. Love the gift shop many choices so many different choices. Hard to decide what to buy! Will go back always. The bakery is wonderful!!! read more

Stumpies has a unique approach to ordering and seating. Everyone places their order at the counter and is provided a pager disc. At this time your party or group can the select your seats- either inside or outside. We were in a group of 9, and the the staff arrainged extra tables and chairs together to accommodate our group. Our food was completed very quickly although the restaurant was VERY full.all orders for our party were very generous and prepared exactly as requested. When you pick up your order at the window, you can partake of their condiment bar which is next to the window, and also fill your own drink, as there is no waitstaff or servers.However, there is more than adequate staff that keeps things tidy and running perfectly. After you are finished with your meal, a dedicated Sweet Shoppe provides many after dinner sweets & ice cream, read more

Food was pretty decent. Nice toppings bar. Lake view was good. Please move the ordering to the tables because ordering from the store counter was weird and stressful due to the lines. read more

This place is a true gem! Adorable spot right on the water. Staff were so kind and friendly. We ordered the chicken caesar salad tacos, grilled fish tacos and double decker grilled cheese. Also got queso to go with the complimentary chips and salsa (better than Chili's I promise!) There were plenty of seating options both inside and outside by the docks. The outdoor section is tented and really clean and comfortable. We opted to sit outside by the water. Everything was delicious. Definitely one of the best grilled cheese sandwiches I've ever had. The fries and ranch dressing were so good as well. The star of the show for me was the Caesar salad tacos. Seriously a must try.My husband enjoyed the fish tacos as well they were his favorite. After we ate we shopped around the gift shop for a bit and chatted more with the staff. It was a lovely visit and we really enjoyed our little date right on the water. If you are visiting Granbury you must come here! It is clear why the locals love this place. read more

This was exactly the perfect spot for what we needed. Large group of 9, hungry, with kids, for a birthday. You order at the register then go find a seat. Tons of space, loved the long picnic benches on the water. The food was actually much better than expected - well prepared burgers and grilled chicken, and the salad was extremely tasty, very high quality ingredients. FYI the large salad is big enough to share with a family. The burger topping bar was a huge hit with the kids, they ate a million pickles. The fries were a bit dry and over fried, however. I didn't deduct any stats for this, but the grilled shrimp po boy was very underwhelming - almost no shrimp, the bun to shrimp ratio was way off. Needed a sauce or slaw to elevate the flavors. And lots of little shell pieces were left. Don't get this. I was impressed with the staff here: efficiently run, many polite young people waiting to hold open doors and quickly clean off tables. They keep it clean. Super experience. My favorite part is the cupcake/bluebell ice cream shop inside. The *wedding cake* cupcake is one of the best cupcakes I've ever had. Extremely moist and the perfect amount of frosting, not overly sweet. My second fave was the chocolate PB, followed by lemon blueberry. Some of the fruit flavored cupcakes were more artificial tasting but I still enjoyed for what they are. Also my kids enjoyed the shopping! I can see how this place would pack out in summer time. Very manageable in off season. read more

Amazing service & excellent food! View of the lake top it off. Be sure to grab some chips & Salsa read more

Stumpy's Lakeside Grill - Shrimp, chicken and Fish Tacos - American Near Me - Granbury, Texas

3 of us visited -one had a burger, looked good. I had Shrimp po-boy. Meh. Third had fish tacos - yuck! Biggest issue is the lack of friendly service - everyone seemed to hate their job so much. Not sure why I tipped, as you order at the counter then get up to pick it up at the window. Walking past unhappy employees made me wonder why. read more

Fun and popular lakeside spot--great for large groups, families with people of all ages. We had fish tacos, hush puppies, salads. You line up to place your order, they give you a buzzer and you pick up your order and add condiments from the vegetable bar. Some inside seating, lots of outside covered seating. Great spot for boaters, families. read more

Went for the first time and ordered the shrimp tacos, burger, onion rings and hush puppies for 89$ and it was a huge let down. That being said the cupcakes were amazing. The service was good and I enjoyed the lake view however not enough to save the overpriced stale and cold food read more

Holy mackerel the size of this salad was crazy big! It also was perfectly balanced with the right amount of sweet, tart, and salty. I would love to stop by here again when visiting Granbury. The restaurant was a little empty which made me sad because the food was so good. The location was right next to the docks, as it says in its name, so my husband and I walked around right after. i suggest you visit. read more

Stumpy's Lakeside Grill - American Near Me - Granbury, Texas

I don't fully understand why people enjoy this place so much. It's a run of the mail burger or taco place that is on the water that's it. The atmosphere is fine. The service nothing big. With the food lackluster at best all of it, I've tried the entire menu because my wife likes this place. I think she likes it because of the water. And that's why I gave it a three star instead of a one star. read more

So my grandpa use to take me, my sister and our friends to Branson, Missouri every summer to visit our cousin. When I turned 18, the trips stopped. It's been a long time since I've been to Branson, but when I first laid eyes on Stumpy's (including the sign), down a steep drive, right beside the lake, I was immediately reminded of the memories made in Branson. It just looks like a restaurant that would be in Branson. Restaurant: You order as soon as you walk in, it's a gift shop (again, Branson feel) and then walk down a hallway, passing a delicious smelling bakery, into the sitting area. There's a sitting area by the condiments bar and then a sitting area by the bar and sitting area outside, right up against the lake. I'm not a lake fan, so we sat in the bar area. We were attended to quickly and our food came out quickly. My fish was top notch and I ate all of it. My wife also ate all of her meal. We went around 2pm and it wasn't crowded so the noise ambience was at a perfect level. I can't imagine going on a Friday or Saturday night when it's packed though. It was a great visit! read more

Stumpy's is a Lake Granbury favorite apparently.  Best known for its outdoor seating by the water and boat access by the locals.  It's a small town lakeside store, counter service restaurant, ice cream parlor, and bar all rolled into one.  It's certainly kid friendly which keeps it locked in the very casual category.  Nothing fancy here as there is food all over the place from the little ones dropping it on the floor/deck and kids* running around everywhere.  So not a good date night or hang out and have a conversation kinda place.  But if you wanna roll in in your bathing suit, ball cap, and flip flops  - you'll fit right in here. The bar has massive cold frosty mugs for serving a variety of beers or margaritas.  They have a small selection on tap and the margs are made for fast order (pre-mixed with bottle pump flavors) - so don't expect a craft cocktail here.  I opted for the grilled fish tacos.  They were actually decent to my surprise.  The coleslaw tasted fresh and they had some slim sliced spicy jalapenos to top them off which was a nice touch.  While I didn't try it, the fried fish and shrimp baskets my mom got looked good, but it was just too much fried stuff for me.  The thing that turned me off was the fact there were no signs about not feeding the water fowl and fish.  They have no respect for the marine life there.  People were just tossing fried food to them and the staff was even sweeping the scraps of fallen food into the water.  You would think being part of the ecosystem there they would be more considerate of sharing the space.  Maybe with all the profits they could provide healthy food options for these creatures for the guests to feed and that could be a draw to come there.  But no - they are literally endangering these creatures by feeding them this stuff.  This was a big turn off for me and dropped my stars from 3 to 2. read more

So far is my favorite place in Granbury I love the atmosphere. I love the location right on the water. It's great.

We were looking for a restaurant on the lake that had a nice view. The majority of the reviews were high, so we decided this was our lunch spot to try while we're in the area! I'm confused by these reviews as the food was truly lacking. The fried shrimp in the tacos had a very bad flavor, which resembled dirty dish water. We also tried a fried catfish & shrimp basket which tasted alright compared to the shrimp in our tacos. The catfish was fairly average, fried in cornmeal. I just have to emphasize that the shrimp in our tacos genuinely made me nauseous and I'm usually not a harsh critic. Even if the shrimp had tasted good, it was generally a weird combination of flavors as it was melted cheddar cheese, a plain slaw, and jalapeños on the taco. The service was okay, nothing special. You order in what appears to be a gift shop area then seat yourself and grab your food once the pager buzzes. They also have a small dessert area with cupcakes and icecream. About $3 for one cupcake, which wasn't anything to write home about. Maybe we caught them on an off day, but overall, we were really disappointed and wouldn't risk trying it again. read more

Stumpy's Lakeside Grill: A Five-Star Gem by the Lake I am a seasoned foodie and can honestly say that Stumpy's Lakeside Grill is top-notch! This restaurant is located by the waters of Lake Granbury. It's a delightful culinary experience that keeps attracting us back for lunch and dinner. The food and the lake view at this place never disappoint; this is no exaggeration. First things first; let us talk about burgers. These are not your typical shapeless pieces of meat but rather juicy works of art that come with your choice of toppings from their burger bar. Fries are always golden and crispy but perfectly soft in the middle. Furthermore, their fresh, warm, self-serve tortilla chips - made complete with two salsa options are a nice bonus. In my opinion, the addition of queso to their menu would undoubtedly shoot this place into legendary status! Dining at Stumpy's involves the use of all senses. Our favorite tables are located outside where we can view geese and ducks glide across the lake's surface amid its astounding beauty. My daughter also loves feeding them and asks to go see the "quack-quack ducks" all the time. After dining here, you must visit the sweet shop. What I can tell you is that there is nothing like their homemade cupcakes or cookies- they taste so good! Also, make sure to check out the front area that has a gift shop. Our daughter has picked out a cute stuffed animal on several occasions. These are the small things that make this place extra special. One small piece of advice though; it gets crowded at times so whenever possible ensure to arrive early or on weekdays before 5 PM. Planning is advisable given the experience one gets at Stumpy's if visiting during popular hours or on the weekend. Their staff has always been nice each time we go which adds more to the friendly feeling that welcomes everyone who enters Stumpy's. We stumbled upon Stumpy's while looking for a place to eat using Yelp and since then it has been one of our favorite places in Granbury. This is a five-star paradise situated by the lake offering scrumptious meals, top-quality service, and amazing scenery. Make sure not to miss out on this delightful dining experience! Yum!!! read more
