Dollar and a quarter draft pints of OPBRB!! Best deal in town...

Hey Patrick!
Looks like the beer prices might be a hit with customers. The last few times I've driven by Grumpy's it's been very busy with a full parking lot and lots of people inside.

Lets break down the article... shall we? Ricks face on the sign is hilarious considering he is so popular in not only Palm Harbor but all of Pinellas county. "Electronic issues" only took six months to correct... maybe he didn't have the money? The new Point of Sale system is probably necessary so the employees keep their hands out of the cigar box. I really don't blame them seeing how none of them have been paid since opening! As for the menu changes something really needs to be done? In closing, things have been better than I expected? Are you freakin kidding me!!! Does he mean he has nine customers instead of eight? In all due respect Mr Brownspot how long can a business survive with even thirty people drinking $1.25 drafts? Summer is coming and I don't see Grumpys survivng!

WAKE UP PINELLAS COUNTY COMISSINORS -!!!!!-- More drunks getting in there cars driving away with open beverages ---- or walking down the street to the next joint on a un lit street and side walk !!!!-- Makes you feel -- REAL ---safe-!! Peggy O Neals Restaurant --- NOT-- Open till--- 3 am ----has BOUNCERS NOW !!! Downtown turning into next YUBOR CITY-- -- WHAT HAPPENED TO THE GREAT!!! FAMILY PLACE-- WE HAD IN THE PAST ---????? RESTAURANTS SHOULD ALL CLOSE AT--11 PM --THERE NOT BARS !!! THERE RESTAURANTS !!!! WHAT A JOKE ---!!!!!

Ron Stagenhorst.... Huh?

Hey, Sunde! Don't let the cars in front of Grumpy's fool you. People park there for the pizza place and thirsty Marlin, too. Ron Stagenhorst: You're right. Downtown Palm Harbor is not the way it was in the Gay 90's (1890's , that is) when Peggy's was the Post Office, and the roads were muddy ruts with dogs laying in the middle of them at high noon. It's mostly taverns now and Grumpy's is a welcome and excellent addition to the mix, no matter what the Rick Haters say. Sunde, you DO know if you write about Grumpy's, the haters will crawl out from under their stone bridges and spew their venom, right?

WE WELCOME GREAT BIZ AND RESTAURANTS---TO DOWN TOWN PALM HARBOR --!!!-- RESTAURANTS DO NOT HAVE BOUNCERS AND STAY OPEN TILL 3AM --- NOT GREAT PLACE TO TAKE FAMILY -- SEEMS- COUNTER PRODUCTIVE !!! WE ARE NOT YUBOR CITY !!! BUT GETTING THERE FAST !!-- NO HATERS HERE !!!-- HOPE THEY ALL GREAT SUGGEST --- BUT -- LET RESTAURANTS BE REAL RESTAURANTS -- CLOSE 11 PM !!! AND STOP DRINKING IN STREETS --- SIDE WALKS--AN IN CARS WHEN LEAVING AREA !!!

I've driven by the place a few times when the patio is packed as well as the parking spaces, so they must be doing something right. Which might points back to Patrick's comment about cheap beer!

i have eaten there a few times, and its always good before shift change, at night i prefer to stay with nachos or tacos the owners are cooking and at least they cant mess that up, live music is horrible, i dont stay if they have live music..

GREAT BURGERS, GREAT SERVICE, GREAT PRICES... YES, BUT ONLY BEFORE THE OWNERS ARE THERE, THEY ARGUE, FIGHT, VERY UNRULY AT TIMES, THEY ARE WORSE THEN THE MUSIC, SO GO THERE IF YOU MAY, BUT ONLY ON DAY LIGHT...

Anyone who can set foot in grumpys after what that criminal rick did to billy Jacks has alot to say about you as a person! if grumpys is doing so well why is rick trying to sell it for 375,000??? Because its worth nothing and he is hoping to rip somebody off again!!! Typical mr. Clowes

And sunde you know that billy Jacks did not move out of town it was forced out! I just really hope somebody doesnt come down to florida and buy grumpys for the ridiculous 375,000 rick is selling it for! I hope they realize they will still have to pay that criminal somewhere around 4,000 a month rent! To any of you mathematicians out there you can never sell enough cheap beer, as you call it, to turn any kind of profit! and then the vicious circle starts again. This isnt ricks first time doing this just a shame so many people let him get away with it!!

And Mr. Brownspot I am so sorry to have crawled out from under my stone bridge to spew my venom! I hope that I have not offended you in any way, for im sure your opinion matters to someone.

I get that the prior regulars liked the Burger Shack. It had a party atmosphere. I went there at first after the prior tenant (Hooker's ?) flopped and they sold out to the Burger Shack folks who must have assumed the Hooker's lease. The burgers were inexpensive as was the beer and the service was okay. I remember one of the people I was sitting with once said about the service, "hey, what do you expect when 20% of a bill doesn't amount to that much?" Over time, the cleanliness of the place started to decline, along with the service. Mainly my experience was outside on the patio. Had to hold my breath when I used the bathroom. The building will never be the Taj Mahal, but those bathrooms were disgusting. Then, I noticed the kitchen wasn't as clean as it once was and became only a beer customer, and only when someone else wanted to go there. In comparison, now when I go there in the daytime, I get terrific service, with an odd laugh. I get good bar type food, the kitchen is clean and the bathroom is clean. Overall, the place is cleaner. Don't know much about evenings there, or the music. Maybe I'll stop in one night.

I've stayed quiet long enough! I am appalled to hear that Rick and Betty have been telling people that we have moved back to Michigan and Code Enforcement played a role in our departure. Think about it... they own the building! Truth is they saw a chance to capitalize on our successful business and presented us with a lease that was freaking laughable! Without dwelling, please know that Billy Jacks Burger Shack is alive and well servicing our customers at 1479 Belcher Road South in Largo ( between east Bay and Ulmerton). After all that they have done to me and my family I would at least expect them to stand on their own merit and stop riding my coattail! Our true friends and loyal customers we see often... Grumpys can have the leftovers!

Hey what were the lyrics to that old "Billy Jack" song?

Oh yeah - "Go ahead and hate your neighbor, go ahead and cheat a friend". Mmmmm, looks like a prophetic set of words.

Hope to see you back in THIS area soon, Mr. McLemore and wish you continued success.

"Anne".

I do not know the owners of the former Billy Jacks. I do know that the food was good, the place was packed, people were happy, and I always looked forward to wing night and a cold draft beer. Mr Grumpys place is the polar opposite.
