Grumpy's - Bellingham

I HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT!! This was my first time ordering from here and the only reason I chose this place was because of the ratings. I ordered a chipotle bacon burger well done!! With lettuce. The first red flag for me was the lettuce. It literally look like they took the first two pieces off a head of lettuce and slapped it on my sandwich. But whatever I took the lettuce off and bit into my burger to check and see if it was well done like I asked. My burger was pink inside

This is what the 99 Restaurant wishes it could be. Very friendly staff, very good food. Back seating area needs an update (the back of a bench literally fell off with a bang while we were there).

Came here in a Sunday around 5:30, it wasn't packed but pretty steady. Out waitress was nice but really quiet. The appetizer was served with plastic plates that had grooves in them from knife cuts, which made us feel like they couldn't really be properly sanitized, and also had the feel of a cheap, back yard cookout. We got the stuff mushrooms which were okay, and then two burgers which weren't good enough to finish. Everything was cooked well, just seemed like low quality, very greasy meat and the sides (we had the fries, onion rings, and sweet potato fries) were clearly frozen and had absolutely no seasoning at all, not even salt. The single stall ladies room had a paper towel roll on the counter that had a gross, soggy top and middle from everyone needing to touch it with wet hands. The soap dispenser is not properly mounted to the wall, and there were baskets in clear view with random odds and ends in them, mostly what looked like trash. The decor both in the bathroom and dining area was very dusty, with bits hanging from the lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. The window sills next to our table were littered with crumbs and dust. The decor itself is pieced together and not very cohesive. The staff was very friendly and hard working, definitely the best part of our experience, but we would not choose to eat here again.

(Rating 1-5) Presentation Haddock: 0 Portion Haddock: 2 Taste: 2 Review: The haddock was extremely thin; had no flavor. The Haddock originally came with a cracker crumble topping. I did not have the topping due to a dairy allergy. The rice was dry. And zucchini was good, but only received a very small amount. Presentation Chicken: 3 Portion: Chicken 4 Taste: 2 Review: The chicken was dry. Both mashed potatoes and green beans were very very good. Many complaints around the the restaurant about their orders.

3.5 Stars The place is clean and the service is friendly and courteous. The food is generous and good. Most people will find the portions large. So you will not leave hungry. In closing the food is good, service is good but no real stand out here. I didn't see any wow factor. I will definitely be there again though.
