The Grumpy George Pub & Grub

After seeing the buzz around the redesign, we’d been eager to finally visit Grumpy George’s, and boy, did it not disappoint! This renovation has successfully transported the dining experience, creating an atmosphere that is wonderfully reminiscent of a cozy, authentic British pub. The overall setting is warm and inviting—a perfect spot for a relaxed meal. But the real stars of the visit were the plates coming out of the kitchen. The undisputed champion was the Fish and Chips. They were, simply put, PHENOMENAL. The generous portion of cod was encased in a golden, perfectly crisp batter that was light and airy, while the fish inside remained moist and flaky. This is a must-try dish for anyone visiting. We also sampled the house burger, which was a very strong contender. Juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked, it was a genuinely satisfying take on a classic. Grumpy George’s has done a superb job blending a great, evocative atmosphere with truly outstanding pub fare. If you’ve been wanting to visit since the redone, don't wait any longer—it’s a clear success.

Grumpy George's was a treat for sure! Seating was readily available both at the bar and for tables, our party of 3 tried the Fish N Chips (because you have to give a new pub's fish n chips a taste), their Grumpy George's smash burger, their scotch egg and sticky toffee pudding. The service was great, definitely commendable. Their smash burger was good, was a double patty and well portioned, their fries/chips were well cooked, cut, and seasoned (seasoning especially! This goes for the fish n chips too) and the burger had a good portion of caramelized onions and an... Interesting sauce. It was not bad but we couldn't figure out what exactly the sauce was supposed to be. Still good! The fish and chips were commendable. There's definitely better out there, but not much. The tartar sauce was delicious and the fried fish was nice and crispy. The scotch egg was probably the weakest thing we ordered, the egg itself was good, as was the fried exterior but the sausage bits in between left something to be desired. The sticky toffee pudding was definitely the star of the show. Whenever toffee pudding is available at restaurants like this I always try one and I must say this is one of the best I've had at a pub. The ice cream on the side was very nice and sweet. The syrup was delicious and the cake portion was perfect. Get the toffee pudding.

We came here 2 1/2 years ago when this pub opened at the Georgetown square. It has a great location but unfortunately that’s the only thing going for it. We came back after Gordon Ramsey included it in his kitchen nightmares show. Although the ambiance was a little better, the food had not improved. We had the Scotch Eggs which were burnt and the Welsh Rarebit, which looked like a grilled cheese was absolutely unappetizing. We noticed that several other patrons were enjoying their Fish and Chips. We were pleasantly surprised when the bill came; the waitress had taken off the food and just charged us with drinks. When we pointed this out to the waitress, she said “of course.” We applaud that kind of service. We hope the restaurant will improve their food offerings.😀

My Hubby and I recently saw the Grumpy George's relaunch featured on Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares. The owner's newfound knowledge and food looked amazing so we decided to give it a try! We've never eaten British cuisine before so we were excited to experience the food! I just got out of the hospital so I'm craving good food! My Hubby and I also missed Valentine's Day because I was in the hospital so we needed a nice outing. The restaurant has a ramp that is handicap accessible (thank you!) and a small area of outside seating. The inside is cozy and stylish and looks like the traditional English Pubs we've seen on TV. The servers were absolutely great! They were attentive, friendly, and on top of everything! There was hardly any wait time for our appetizers and main dishes. It wasn't very crowded because we got there before the dinner rush, but there were still a decent amount of customers. The Food: Since we've never had traditional British food, we weren't sure what to expect. All of Gordon's menu items from the show were available. The menu is short and sweet, but still a variety. The prices are just a tad higher than your average sit down restaurant, but the servings and food were well worth it. We ordered the Scotch Egg of course with piccalilli and it was delicious! We've never had one and it was a great first experience! My Hubby ordered the Lamb Shepherd's pie, and I ordered Fish and Chips with a side of Creamed Cabbage. Hubby really enjoyed his Shepard's Pie! The Lamb adds a great, unique taste as opposed to the ground beef we usually use. My Fish and Chips plate came with Tartar sauce, Ketchup, and a small dish of mushy peas! The beer battered fish was one of the largest pieces I've ever seen! It was cooked to perfection! It was crispy on the outside and melt in your mouth, buttery tender on the inside! It was delicious! The fries were also cooked well. I had a drink called "Fancy a Cuppa Pimm's" which came in an iced chiled copper cup that kept it cool! The Strawberry and Cucumber flavors were great and I enjoyed it! However, in my opinion, the absolute STAR of the show was the Creamed Cabbage!! I've never had it before, but I love cabbage. I've eaten cabbage many different ways here in the south, but never like this! Let me tell you..it was THE most delicious cabbage dish I've ever eaten! It had cream, cabbage, peas, and small pieces of smoked bacon. This combination is fit for the Gods! I'm not kidding when I say that I was so sad when I ate the last of it. I would drive hours just to have it again! The Sticky Toffee Pudding dessert was also very delicious! If I had to offer any constructive criticism, it would be what other people are saying about the lack of seasoning. The Shepherds Pie and the fish batter were a little under seasoned. I'm not a big fan of restaurants putting a lot of salt, pepper, or spicy stuff on things. If a customer wants more, we can just use the salt and pepper provided at the table instead of it being served too salty or too spicy..So, when I say it wasn't seasoned enough, I mean it was less than the minimal amount of any type of seasoning needed for that dish. However, because everything was cooked perfectly, the lack of seasoning was forgivable. We just salt and peppered it ourselves. I've never had Malt Vinegar, so I didn't know what it was when I saw it on our table. I read today that it goes well on the fish, so I'll try that next time too. I wish the server would have mentioned what it was and its purpose for us non British folk! Also, our table had a broken leg that wobbled a bit. Not a huge deal. Overall, it was a great experince! It was especially a treat to taste Gordon Ramsay's recipes from his traditional British background. He taught the cooks here well! It was also good to see the familiar staff. We've been telling all of our friends about this unique British Pub experience as well as the great food! I have to go back to the hospital for another surgery soon and will be craving good food again after. So, we'd love to return to the Grumpy George!

After seeing this on Chef Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmare, my wife and I had to visit this place since the change looked fantastic. The service and staff were exceptional and very attentive. The food itself came out quickly, warm and tasty. The atmosphere was cozy. We tried the scotch egg 5/5. Shepherd' pie 4/5. Cooked great, but a little under seasoned. Fish and Chips 4/5. Cooked to perfection with the fries, but again slightly under seasoned. Creamed cabbage and pees with Smoked bacon 5/5. Best cabbage my wife ever had! I don't particularly like cabbage but I loved this dish as well. Only major complaint was the physical table were we sat to eat. Very wobbly, and when I inspected it, there was a strip of material attempting to balance one of the legs.

A smashing British pub in the heart of beautiful Georgetown! My pork and sausage scotch egg cook was on point and crispy. The pub atmosphere is cozy and the wait staff are super friendly and attentive. A great local hang out for good drinks and tasty food. A must try!

I visited The Grumpy George on a busy night, and despite the packed house, service was impressively quick. The food arrived hot and fresh, making for a fantastic dining experience. Scotch Egg (10/10) – Absolute perfection. The yolk was beautifully runny, the seasoning spot-on, and the crispy exterior was just right. The delicious pickle topping on the side added a great tangy contrast. Fish and Chips (9/10) – Nearly flawless. Served piping hot, with a golden, crispy batter. The very ends were slightly too crunchy, and the fish itself could have used just a touch more seasoning, but overall, excellent. The tartar sauce was outstanding. Mushy Peas (10/10) – A surprise highlight! Incredibly flavorful and far superior to versions I’ve had elsewhere. A must-try. Sticky Toffee Pudding (10/10) – Moist, rich, and decadent. The sauce was divine, and the pairing with ice cream made it even better. English Garden Cocktail (8/10) – A unique and refreshing drink with a pleasant floral note. However, it tasted slightly watered down and could have used a bit more intensity. Overall, The Grumpy George delivered an amazing British comfort food experience. The minor critiques didn’t take away from an otherwise stellar meal. I’d absolutely return!

Supposed to be an Irish pub, but it’s just like any other bar/restaurant but with less options for lunch, no salads or soups and the only dessert is sticky toffee pudding. With that being said the smash burger was excellent! Greasy but flavorful! My partner had the fish and chips and he said more crunchy batter than fish, dish served with big steak fries. I’m not sure why the menu was so limited, no Rueben sandwich either..

Not impressed. Only a few menu items. Lighting was dark. Expensive for the quality and atmosphere. Ann

What a delightful night. This was the first time we been here since shortly after they opened. Our first visit wasn't fantastic. This visit was much much better. The place is narrow and can get loud. We were still able to talk at our table. The food menu is somewhat small. There are options for most tastes. I had the chicken Caesar. It was excellent and I highly recommend it. My wife had the fish and chips and was very happy with it. I do recommend finishing with the sticky toffee pudding. It was a great finish to the meal. Lots of options for cocktails and beers as well. Looking forward to going back

This was my second time eating at the grumpy George and unfortunately the second time wasn't as good as the first. Come on consistency. Both times I ordered the fish and chips. The first time they were so tasty that I went back for seconds. I won't say the taste was completely missing, I was more disappointed with the portion size. The fries we're half portion and soggy and so was part of the fish. I ordered the food to go, so was pleasantly surprised when I opened the container to find what appeared as a half portion. It was as if someone said I want half, put the other half in the other container. I won't say I'm not returning but if I do I'll definitely check my order before I leave the premises.

I've been looking for a good authentic pub in Central TX but unfortunately have not found it yet. We went in on a Sunday afternoon. It was not busy. Service was good and friendly. There's a good variety of beer/liquor. Food was meh. The batter on the fish and chips wasn't great - it was thick rather than crispy and flaky. And it was one giant piece of fish shaped like a log. Comes with ketchup, tartar sauce, and mushy peas. We had to request vinegar. I was looking forward to the peas but they were awful. They had an odd flavor to them that I couldn't pinpoint. The shepherds pie was also just ok. It was mostly meat and I don't think it's made with fresh potato (seemed like boxed potatoes). It honestly reminded me of a Stouffers meal. The inside was neat and clean yet cozy and pub-like. I'd return for a pint but not for the grub.

Hard pass on return visits. "Oh, I failed to design a good customer experience? I better blame the help!" --Karen

A bit of a letdown considering they were featured on Kitchen Nightmares. Unfortunately, none of the dishes impressed us. The scotch egg was cooked well in that it had a crispy exterior and soft boiled center, but the outer layer was very bland. The burger was a greasy, saucy mess and weirdly, the sauce did nothing to add to or complement the flavor. The shepherd's pie was probably the best of the three but that's not saying much as I don't think it's that difficult to make - the mash was ok and the meat component tasted one note. Service was extremely friendly and on point. We were helped right away and checked in on several times, so many kudos to the waitstaff! The overall vibe gave "sleek pub" and felt very cozy as a nice casual hang out spot.

Love the atmosphere and pub-style food. The glazed carrots and Welch rarebit toast are family favorites. Service is friendly and attentive. Grumpy George has become a regular go-to on our rotation of restaurants on the Square.

This is one of my favorite hidden spots at the square. Not only I come here often, but evety time I have a great time. Intimate, yet open to mingle. I love the service and the drinks are fantastic! Come take a look at this spot. It's definitely worth it!

The service was superb. The fish and chips is delicious dish. The ambiance is suitable for date night or a friend's night out.

This spot nails it inside and out. It has that classic authentic pub look with a few local touches and modern accents. The drinks set the tone. My wife had the seasonal apple cider whiskey sour and loved it. I went with a cold, crisp pint of Harp which was perfect. For starters, I ordered the pastrami salmon. Honestly it was a top 5 meat experience for me, and I eat carnivore 90% of the time. My wife had the Welsh rarebit toast, which came out creamy and rich. The toast and side salad paired perfectly in both flavor and texture. For mains, I went with the shepherd's pie. The mashed potatoes were fluffy and smooth, roasted just right, and the filling was everything you want it to be. My wife had the Grumpy smash burgers with honey glazed carrots. Everything was flavorful and cooked perfectly. We finished with the sticky toffee pudding. The flavor and consistency were spot on, rich, warm, and comforting. It was a little small for sharing, but still worth every bite. The service was friendly and attentive, and we had enough space to relax and enjoy our meal. All around, this place delivered from start to finish. Great design, great food, great drinks. 10/10 recommend. I will definitely be back for darts and a pint with some bros.

I came here twice It's like they say "don't order seafood at a steak restaurant ... or is it steak at a seafood... nevermind.. The first time I had the Fish and Chips and a Guinness - it was great. I felt they could have given me a few more fries but nonetheless - I was satisfied - well almost... I got the sticky toffee cake with ice cream and that sealed the deal for me. 10/10... however.... The second time I came, I got the smash burger - what a mistake. It was as if you told someone to make a "smash" burger and they cooked two patties and then smashed them together and put it between buns from HEB. It was also way over salted. There was no enjoyment and it dripped everywhere. To add insult to injury they gave me fries with the burger despite the waitress saying it didn't come with the burger... that means I ordered a second serving of fries .. they have good fries though I'll give them that. I will try this place one more time, but I'm losing faith.

This place is cute and the staff are very friendly. A lot of their beer options are found to be bottles but they do have a good amount of options on draft. I had the Old Speckled Hen draft beer which was very good.

What a nice place to enjoy English pub drinks and food. Clean and friendly service. Will visit again.

Since we live near Georgetown, after waiting for some months after the Gordon Ramsay makeover in March of this year, we opted to stop in with another couple for lunch on a Tuesday afternoon. There were a few tables of people, but by no means was it crowded. It took almost 10 minutes for a server (the only one) to stop by and apologize for the wait and brought water and asked about a drink order. We ordered a few different beers and waited another little bit to have those brought out (he was also the bar tender). Then, another 10 minutes while he settled the other table's checks, he came to take our food order, again apologizing for the wait. We weren't in a hurry, so it wasn't a big deal for us. We placed our orders (2 of us had fish & chips, one had the Shepards pie, and one had the daily special Rueben sandwich). We also ordered and shared a Scotch egg, which was wonderful! The food arrived in a short amount of time and we dug in. The fish portion was huge, nicely battered, and served with a mountain of thick cut fries along with mushy peas in a small cup. The Shepard's pie was hot, full of chunks of lamb, gravy, and mashed potatoes, and the Rueben also came with a large portion of fries. After we finished (the only small complaint was that the Rueben didn't have enough Russian dressing on it and caused it to be a little dry) we opted to share a sticky toffee dessert between the four of us. Ambiance: 10/10 Service quality: 10/10 Service time: 8/10 Food quality: 9/10 Price: 9/10 Overall a good lunch that held us well into the evening. We will likely return, but hopefully the service time will improve.

Loved the ambiance! It was a rainy day with football on, perfect spot. Had the Scottish Eggs and Fish and Chips. Only compliant is would have like another egg. Food and drinks were great! Would like to try the shepards pie next time.

Came in for a Thursday lunch upon recognizing the restaurant from the show. We were seated immediately and decided to try the creamed cabbage & peas with smoked bacon for starters. For mains, we ordered the Grumpy smash burger and shepherd's pie. Overall, the burger and fries were amazing, cooked and seasoned well. The shepherd's pie presentation was beautiful but lacked a bit in seasoning under the hood. I really wanted to try their 'New' old fashioned but will have to next time!

We went on the first night of the soft opening after the refresh and a week later and the food was excellent and service was timely and attentive, considering how busy they were. The Shepard's Pie was hearty and very tasty, the roasted carrots were exceptional, and the Fish & Chips was also very good! The fried cod loin was perfectly done as were the steak fries and the mushy peas were a perfect complement, but the fresh-made Tartare Sauce was perfect and the best I've had in decades since making it at Piccadilly and Luby's with scratch-made mayonnaise lots of chopped sour pickles and fresh parsley. It's a great place with the ambiance and vibe to match the English Pub concept and the restaurant should only get better with hard work everyday!

When it comes to The Grumpy George, I'm torn between giving it 3 or 4 stars. It really deserves something right in between. I ate there last week with family and I appreciated the ambiance, even if it's a bit too clean, too new, too shiny to deliver the pub feel one gets used to visiting venues across North America and even the UK and Ireland. That said, the food was good, albeit a little bit expensive. We got the fish and chips and it came with just one piece of cod. Thankfully it was a large piece, but I've seen reviewers previously complain that they didn't get so lucky. Maybe it would be better to serve 2-4 pieces instead of one? Perception matters... The taste was good in any case and my husband really liked his mashed peas. Fries (excuse me, chips!) were also good. The glazed carrots as a side were tasty and not too overwhelming, easy to pair with whatever dish was on the table. Surprisingly The Grumpy George did not have tea bags of any kind but they were kind enough to boil some hot water in a mug for my mother in law who had a sore throat that evening. I happened to have some tea bags with me (a lady has to be ready for any circumstance!) so that solved the issue. The service was good, and we didn't have to wait long to get seated, even on a Saturday evening. So it all worked out. Now, would I go back? That's the question... If invited, sure. But on my own? Unlikely. I have experienced more exciting pubs elsewhere, although I will admit that Texas in general doesn't have a whole lot of options...

"Grumpy George", an English pub in Georgetown, Texas. A novel idea and definitely a courageous stand in a city surrounded by Brisket and Tex-Mex. I applaud the owner for taking this venture on. Authentic Fish and chips has always been one of my favorite dishes to enjoy, yet hard to find here, along with Asian and Baja style Mexican food. I'd just read that this restaurant was a Gordon Ramsay's, "Kitchen Nightmares" make over, that would air later tonight. So I wanted to eat here before it became famous. I'm not sure what the challenge was before. The menu is simple, definitely not "Cheesecake Factory", but maybe that's what they needed. We ordered Fish and Chips and the burger. Everything is cooked to order so it took a normal amount of time. There were a few folks inside, and everyone seemed to be enjoying their meals. Although, it seems like they could use just one more server. The two here were humping. I'll let you be the judge. Come on down and check out the Grump. Michael C. - Georgetown, Tx.

So, we decided to pop in and have a night cap. For us, a night cap is 8:00pm. The Grumpy George is a nice, 'dive bar' (Meaning), it's our kind of place. Mostly adults, but child friendly. The lady next to us said the Fish and Chips are fantastic, and a house speciality. We will be back. Stay hungry and thirsty my friends...

We came here after watching the kitchen nightmares episode to see if it had improved. I think it did slightly, they did take the pork belly sliders off the menu which was my favorite. My friend got the fish and chips, he said the breading was light and crispy on the fish. It was a beefy piece of fish when he wished it was two strips of fish instead of one. The smash burger was yummy according to my other friend but she couldn't finish it all. I got the fries and bangers and mash which were divine and I don't usually enjoy sausage. The remodel of the restaurant looked awesome also! I will definitely be back with more friends! I hope the place is successful because it is lovely!

My wife, who's a big Ramsay fan, and I visited Grumpy George after its recent appearance on Kitchen Nightmares. We tried the Rarebit Toast, Scotch Eggs, Crispy Fried Shrimp, Shepherd's Pie, and the Bangers and Mash. The toast was disappointing, with a topping that resembled cheese wiz and tasted burnt, neither of us had more than a bite. The Scotch Eggs had a perfectly cooked egg interior, but unfortunately, the outside was burnt, overshadowing any enjoyment. The shrimp was decent but nothing remarkable. The Shepherd's Pie was underwhelming, with a lamb filling that tasted like sloppy joes topped with overly crisp and dry mashed potatoes. The Bangers and Mash were essentially mashed potatoes with sausage reminiscent of what you'd pick up at HEB, with the sausage doing most of the heavy lifting. It also had what I can only explain as pickled caramelized onions The Bloody Mary was enjoyable, but the New Fashioned cocktail was overwhelmingly sweet, tasting like pure syrup. I'm not typically a picky eater, and it's rare for me to dislike Shepherd's Pie, but I found myself swapping dishes with my wife because I couldn't finish it. Given the steep prices, even judging by bar food standards, the overall experience simply wasn't worth it. The only thing we finished was the shrimp, and the Bloody Mary's, which doesn't feel great for a 150 dollar lunch

Great service. Ran Out of some food but will return for it! What we ate was fantastic. Fish and chips and the Pudding/desert. The staff was awesome sauce.

There are a lot of things that are difficult about downtown Georgetown (The Square in particular) these days. Parking is terrible. There is construction. And prices for anything food-wise are very high. The Grumpy George shares allk those problems. But there is something different. After hiking from the parking spot I could find on a Saturday, I stepped into the cool air and dark confines of a wonderful, family-friendly pub. The service was immediate and and warm as I sat at the bar. Of course, in a pub, I ordered a Guinness. The pour took several minutes and was PERFECT. The prices on the menu are...pricey. $20 for fish and chips woth a side? I didn't try it so I'm not knocking it just giving a heads up. the atmosphere, honestly, makes it worth trying. I had the pastry wrapped sausage, delicious! Despite the inconveniences I have made Grumpy a meeting place for my friends visiting from Austin. It is a wonderful environment. You can start a day on The Square there, finish it there or just stay put. I'll dock it a star for prices but I still enjoy a pint there.

Grumpy is a great addition to the Georgetown Square. We three stopped by for Apps and cocktails. This is a British-themed bar with some interesting brews on tap. Our Apps were large and our craft cocktails were good pours. We saw some food travel by and the fish and chips looked tremendous. They have some interesting Brit-themed food such as Pork And Sage Scotch Egg and Bangers And Mash. There are TVs if you wish to catch a game, a long bar with plenty of seating, large booths, and plenty of smaller tables. Grumpy reminds me of the Kenny Fort Pub in Round Rock in a good way.

Flew all the way down from Salt Lake City Utah for my friend's wedding and one of his friends recommended this Pub, walked in and completely loved the atmosphere and the ambiance of this establishment. Our server Jules was fantastic, dedicated and accommodated every one at our table while being able to have conversation and make jokes. What a server !?!? There were these rude, arrogant and disrespectful ladies down from us who already had enough to drink and were rude to the waitress they were met with the exit door really quickly so everyone else could enjoy this amazing pub !!! Guinness 10/10 The Grumpy Smash Burger 10/10

Nice little bar in downtown Georgetown. The bartenders are friendly and prompt. They have a really nice cocktail menu! The drinks are great! Austin/Dallas prices for sure hehe but I'd love to go back.

Such a cool place! Everything I tried was delicious- and the fish was huge on the fish and chips. Had some great cocktails and amazing service!

It was good - no major issues or complaints. We drove from Waco just to eat here. We got the scotched egg and he enjoyed it as well as the Shepards pie. I got the smash burger... but it wasn't a smash burger. It was just a normal burger. The patties were thick and shrunk way too much that half of the bun was empty. The cheese tasted ultra processed. I feel like I could have made this burger at home myself. Smash burgers are iconic and something people in the area crave because of what should be a high temp and fast cooking time char. Service was great though. Our waitress was attentive and checked on us multiple times. The wait time was quite long. We ordered and didn't get anything for about 40 minutes. We were the one of the two only tables and we were the first ones whose orders were taken, so it wasn't slammed busy. There were a couple of guys who came in with pizza and stayed at the bar, which kinda put us off because we were hungry. Overall, the food was good, just not nothing that we felt like we were missing out on. Not really worth the drive, but just very mediocre.

Came for lunch a few weeks ago and the food was delicious. About the best fish and chips I've ever had, batter was seasoned and crunchy. Sheppards Pie was also good, it had great presentation. Will definitely go back again.

Pretty "plain Jane" for a place that's supposed to be an English pub. We had guests with us who are from England and they weren't impressed by the food or ambiance . Kind of embarrassed that we took them there to try it. First and last time for us.

Staff has no social skills. The service is painfully slow and the food was definitely not worth the wait. Chef Ramsey would be sorely disappointed. What a squandered opportunity. @Karen S We were there today 3/1/25 around 12:30 pm-1:30 pm. Seems to me that I am trying to help you understand, but you just aren't hearing me.

Nice place with friendly staff. however the Scottish Egg needs some work and the bangers and mash needs more liquid gravy so youre not eating potatoes and onions with a little gravy. Wife thought the fish and chips were tasty.

Awesome place! My family is new to Georgetown so we never got to try it before the Kitchen Nightmares show, but we came in today and truly enjoyed it! We had the fish and chips, fried shrimp and the favorite was the double smash burger. Oh Lordy it was good! The atmosphere is great to! Love the decor!

The best burger in Georgetown! Perfectly cooked and juicy. Bun and fries were very good. Also got their burrata heirloom tomato salad and it was amazing. Ingredients were fresh and the dressing was light but flavorful. Like summer in my mouth. I added shrimp to it and this was the star of the meal. They butterfly grilled it with a slight char but it was still moist and tasted very fresh. The ambiance here is super fun and aesthetically moody but upscale. Service was excellent. Definitely a great place for drinks. Hubs got a Negroni and they did the one big ice cube thing so I'm sure their cocktail selection is top notch--will have to come back to try them.

Food was sooo good. Burger was delicious, fries were crispy and on point! And bangers and mash were very flavorful and delicious (: Drinks were nice and strong too! Can't wait to go back!

Was in town for my wedding a couple of days ago. Stopped by here because it sounded good. I was wrong, it was delicious. The food was phenomenal, the beer was cold, and the cocktails were perfect. Our server Jules was very attentive and happy to serve even though there was a table of very loud and obnoxious and frankly drunk people right down from us. I believe I saw one of their reviews while signing in, so ignore those. Over all, I would recommend stopping here for good food and drinks and excellent service. 10/10

The food was so delicious! The atmosphere was so welcoming and beautiful! Our waitress Jules was kind and attending and bubbly! She was an absolute delight to be around. Me and my family will ABSOLUTELY be coming back to dine here!

I got the fish and chips and it was really good. Fish was hot and fries were yummy. Fish was a good portion and crispy.

When my friend and I looked at the menu, it was decent. The vibe felt kind of like off in a way. It didn't feel like it would be from England where pubs are a thing.

Grumpy George's English Pub in Georgetown, TX, offers an exceptional dining experience that's hard to beat. From the moment you step in, you're greeted with excellent service, and the food is served quickly without sacrificing quality. The fish and chips are a standout--huge portions with a light, crispy beer batter, and the fries are perfectly cooked, maintaining their crispness. The crispy shrimp appetizer is another highlight, complemented by a delicious homemade dipping sauce that elevates the dish. The creamed cabbage and peas with bacon are nothing short of mesmerizing, with a complex flavor that leaves you intrigued and smiling when you finally figure out the secret ingredient. To top off your meal, the sticky toffee pudding is a must-try--it's the perfect, sweet ending to a fulfilling meal. The real charm of Grumpy George's, however, lies in the family owners, who are kind, humble, and hardworking. Their genuine nature makes the experience even more enjoyable, and it's clear that they're dedicated to creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere. It's an establishment you'll want to visit and support, not just for the food, but because of the incredible people behind it. We will ALWAYS have a meal here every time we are in Georgetown!!

Do not eat at the Grumpy George Pub in Georgetown TX. It was featured in one of Gordon Ramsay's shows but has gone downhill significantly since filming. The episode aired recently. Terrible food bad service and grumpy staff. Not a good representation of British Food. Reality: after a 50 minute wait for 'bangers and mash', the mash arrived cold and the server was a sour puss. Terrible food. Gordon Ramsey has not fixed this place. Only good thing during the 'meal' was Old Speckled Hen beer! We didn't finish our meal and left in disgust over the quality and lack of proper care from the kitchen. Avoid the The Grumpy George at all costs. Bad representation of a 'British Pub'. Gordon Ramsay needs to be aware as this place will be closed by EOY latest.Reality. Very burnt scotch egg. Not good, combined with terrible service and staff. Avoid this place. As a Brit I'm ashamed of the lack of food consistency and quality.

Food? Great. Drinks? Great. Service? Great. Only problem was a table of cackling Karen's in the corners who got cut off and thrown off for coming in absolutely wasted. Thanks to the staff for taking care of them professionally and quickly. HAPPY BIRTHDAY JULES!

Great dinner. Friendly owners. Servers also. Recommend it. I saw it on Kitchen Nightmares.

Tonight's special, blackened chicken and andouille pasta was out of this world! As a native Louisianan, I can attest this was tasty!!!

We go every time we are in Georgetown, amazing food great atmosphere and service. Nice little walk in town to site see.

Was desperate to try this place out because I had heard that it was a British pub/restaurant fare. The beer selection here is on point if you're looking for a good quality Irish/English beers. The food is straight up, traditional English with all of the staples, fish and chips, shepherds pie, and some good fried seafood. We were greeted at the door and had really wonderful service. Absolutely loved our waiter. The ambience of the restaurant was mellow yet was absolutely a dive bar atmosphere family friendly but not a whole Lotta kid items here if you're looking for something to get for the Kiddos. Overall for great spot for some great beer. My only complaint was everything is obviously deeply fried and there's no salad or lighter options if you're looking for something healthy. Their grumpy burger is freaking delicious but I'm frustrated that there's no onion lettuce or tomatoes to go with a burger just meat, cheese and bun. If you're into that this is your spot but if you like a little bit of green or something crisp to go with your burger this place will not be for you.

the only thing to get here is drinks and fish and chips. I use to love the Scotch Egg. Tried it tonight, absolutely disgusting, no flavor, or seasoning. I rolled the dice on the Shepherd's Pie. I about barfed. Ground up dog food is what it reminded me of. No Vegs. Just ground up meat (of some type) and bland mash. Never again!!

Well, I had a GREAT time. My husband is always on the lookout for a good shepherd's pie and he enjoyed this immensely. The Reuben egg rolls are excellent and on sale during happy hour. The fish and chips are very well done, flaky and delicious. The service is excellent and the iced tea is fragrant, which is odd, but very delicious and refreshing. We will definitely go back for another round... especially if we're looking for drinks and appetizers.
