Grumpy Gary's at Dockers

I had such a great experience at Grumpy Gary’s at Dockers! I visited for lunch around 11:30 a.m. on a holiday weekday with a friend. The website suggested making reservations (which was super easy to do online), though at that hour they weren’t really necessary. By the time we left around 1:30, the place was definitely starting to fill up—so it’s smart to reserve ahead, especially during busy times. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with friendly smiles and great service. The staff were welcoming, attentive, and made us feel right at home, which really set the tone for a relaxing meal. The shrimp tacos were absolutely delicious—packed with flavor and perfectly seasoned. We also tried the blackened dolphin (mahi) filet, topped with a key lime tartar sauce that was tangy, refre

All indoor seating. One room is asking a canal and has a band Saturday evenings starting about 6:30 pm. There is another room but attached. We left before the band started so can't say how the sound would be. Wait staff was attentive and helpful. Went for the Grouper Reuben although I prefer it with cole slaw. It was quite good (although for the best, go to Monahan's in South County, RI). Be aware that they include the tip in the bill.

I wish “Grumpy” only described the name of the establishment. I sat at the bar during a “busier”stretch, not completely packed, but clearly a bit understaffed. I ordered the buffalo shrimp appetizer and the Grumpy Burger (to go) at the same time. The shrimp came out in a reasonable window. They were a nice size, but overall the dish was just okay and a little underwhelming flavor-wise. Well, it ended up being over an hour from the time I received the appetizer before the burger was ready. That kind of delay, especially for a burger is tough to overlook. And to be honest, the burger itself was extremely underwhelming. Nothing about it stood out, especially after that kind of wait. And the tomato? If that’s all you have, just skip it. The bartender seemed overwhelmed and didn’t really ac

Food was delicious and reasonably priced! I went during my layover needed something delicious quick and filling! And that it was! Waitresses was super welcoming too! I ordered the appetizer sampler, the soup of the day was lobster bisque and I got the greek salad. My sister had a chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries and the bang bang shrimp. All meals were well proportioned and filling!

Fantastic food and our server, Suzanne, made it fun as well! Ordered hubcap seafood tacos (one each of blackened shrimp, grouper & mahi tacos). We split a grouper reuben with fries, which were delicious. Second time here and will be back. Wish they were closer to home!
