“Really nice staff Really good food“

“It was our 1st time trying Grump's. We had heard of them by word of mouth. Nothing but rave reviews & a must try spot we were told. They were right! I got the regular cheeseburger with onion rings with a root beer (it was the best root beer I've had in ages) & my husband got the Burleson Special Burger, dirty fries & a root beer. We really enjoyed our burgers they were beyond good, very juicy & full of flavor. The onion rings were good but they were just average. The dirty fries were ok just plain fries with onions & jalapenoes thrown on top nothing special about them. If they would add bacon bits & melted cheese OMG those would of elevated the fries, but that's just our opinion. We will return those burgers, were delicious! If you haven't tried them you're missing out on some great burgers & a friendly, attentive staff.“

“Went quite a bit when they first opened and then stopped dont know why for sure but went back fri night because I saw an add for shrimp and grits and it was very possibly the best I've😍 ever had wife had pizza with Wagyu steak equally as good. Need to ck this place out you wont be disappointed“

“Excellent vegan and vegetarian buffet. Great price and selection! Two hot food bars, salad bar, sandwich bar, dessert bar, hot and cold drinks. Awesome meat substitutes used in tasty dishes prepared by their chef. College cafeteria setting.“

“Great atmosphere 🥰 Staff is wonderful to their customers 😀“

“Mckayla did an excellent job serving us. The food was delicious. She checked on us quite often. She is an excellent waitress.“

“The food was excellent, but the atmosphere and service felt unusually heavy, which made the visit less enjoyable than it could have been.
Food
The entrées and sides were the highlight of the visit — well‑prepared, flavorful, and worth the price.
•Garlic Caper Salmon — ***** ($22.00) Perfectly cooked, great balance of flavors.
•Blackened Rainbow Trout — ***** ($20.00) Seasoned well, cooked just right.
•Iced Tea — **** ($2.99) solid, nothing to complain about.
•Banana Pudding — **** ($8.00) Tasty, comforting dessert.
•Bread Pudding — *** ($9.00) Decent, but not as strong as the other dishes.

•Service & Atmosphere
This is where things fell short.
The service felt detached, as if the waitress was distracted or simply going through the motions. The overall vibe in the restaurant — felt unusually downcast, which affected the dining experience.
•Would I Return?
I would absolutely visit this franchise again, because the food is worth it. But returning to the Burleson location specifically is questionable based on the atmosphere and service during this visit.“

“We came early this morning to have breakfast. We had the pleasure of Rocio to be our waitress, She was simply Awesome!!! If you’re ever in the area come in asked for Rocio, she will definitely make your day. The manager Marina is simply Amazing as well…Thank you Ol’ South in Burleson. We will definitely be back!“

“Best mom and pop shop around :) food is always fresh and hot“

“Shout out to Becky today in taking care of our group of 14 today! Great service and great food!“

“Me, my wife and her family were looking for a place to have breakfast today. It being Christmas Day, I know that the pickin's we're going to be slim. We went to 1 place and got completely ignored. So we said let's try Waffle House on Renfro. There was a place for all seven of us to sit and they weren't completely slammed, but yet they were still busy. I'll tell you, I've been coming to this location for at least 15 years and i've never had a bad meal here, ever. Today was no exception. The way that the staff worked with each other in tandem with the servers was something to watch. Surprisingly, our waitress and the other ones that were there, kept cool under pressure and handled us with grace and attentiveness. Everyone seemed to be in a good mood and was in amazing spirits since it was Christmas. So big thanks to the entire staff that handled the 7 of us and as well as everyone else that was there today!“

“I visited for the first time due to Andrew Sevener performing and loved the atmosphere. Everyone was extremely friendly from the time I walked in. One of the bartenders, who was working near the stage, kept my drinks safe while I went to the bathroom. As someone who's frequently out alone, I couldn't have appreciated that more! Then Kim texted me my picture with Andrew and invited me back. What a nice group of people. It was my first time in Burleson, TX and I felt very welcomed. The food and drinks were great as well. No doubt I'll visit again. Highly recommend!“

“Best ham on earth! They even serve lunch!

“First time I'd been in about 10 years because the food wasn't very good. This time it was worse. We were served very very old meat, or almost rotten. They did not charge us for the food. Their food is still terrible. Drinks are OK. Food sucks!“

“Excellent customer service I am from Louisiana and this place tastes like home Excellent corn meal fried fish Red beans and rice Gumbo Beignets Shrimp Oysters Clean dinning room They make you fill at home“

“I am not reviewing this place as a lover of how amazing it is compared to other places. I am reviewing this place, because this is a casual restaurant where the workers are relaxed. It makes for a great first job for high schoolers.

I do love the fact they always show you the food before they put it in a bag to give you. That's unique. 👍“
