I know that this can be a problem, even in the finest of restaurants...but yuck. I hope he follows through and does all of the stuff that he says he's going to do. We used to go there all the time when it was Billy Jack's Burger Shack (they had delicious burgers!) but have only been 2 times since it's been Grumpy's. It took forever for him to get food there and then it was just chili and nachos. Ate there only once and it wasn't very good. Is the #1 burger award for him or Billy Jack's? May have to give it another try if he gets his issues resolved.

I went there twice a week when it was Billys Jacks............Good food, good service, nice owners. I have been there three times since and each time I felt like I was intruding on The Grump. Never again................Bring back Billy Jacks!

Didn't they just open recently? For a restaurant to be infested within a year of opening is just disgusting!! First Peggy's, now Grumpy's- I will NEVER eat at a place that has served food knowing they have bugs! If they can't be CLEAN without someone telling them to clean then they don't deserve our hard earned money!!

Bring back Billy Jack's. Went to Grumpy's once since Billy's moved. Not impressed!!!!

I must agree, bring back Billy Jacks!! A place where we could relax after work, have a few beers, eat a bite, enjoy entertainment, and when go home. Now it looks like a ghost town! Who voted them #1 burger? How many other restaurants involved, like NONE!! PSI

Candidate for the worst job of the year? - "The guy who actually sat there and counted 90+ rat turds!"

Good to know clowes waited till he was infested with rats to call an exterminator! I worked in that building for 3 years, when it was billy jacks,and yes it is outside and yes you get bugs and rodents that is why we had an exterminator come every week! Keep up the good work rick and for everybody' sake please quit trying to sell your sh*thole business and just sell the property and get the hell out of town! Or if you want you can just keep grumpys going because it is alot of fun watching you run it into the ground hahaha!

Great White North: Mouse in a bottle

Bob and Doug have a tip on how to get a free case of beer

see video

keith wakefield, you just cant stay off the internet can you, what a loser, you were yrs ago and still are, you think you can manage a bar/restaurant, huh, dont think so !! dont worry pretty boy, you cant manage a chicken coop not along manage yourself and your emotions and you big mouth, burger shack was shit hole yrs ago, or didnt you realize that cause you got your head up your ass!! the place was filthy, smelly bathrooms, and food was least desireable, just as a few other pp. commented days ago, so im not the only one knows that your joke..

Im glad I have gotten under your skin hahahaha!

taking up a petition, lets boycott keith wakefield and billy jacks, humm, nah that wont work, but we all will find something to annoy you.. hey will get back to you on that one stupid ass

Ok Rick! Hahahaha

When that place was Billy Jacks it was the most disgusting place I ever sat down in. I'm not sure what kind of food Grump’s has but at least it's cleaned up since then & has a working bathroom. But then again, I seems like some people will hang out in a sewer for a $1 beer. Get over Billy Jacks already!!! If that was your favorite place for a beer then it shouldn’t be hard to find another place to replace it.

Really your problem with "keith" and not the Rat dropping ? Am i missing something ?

You owned the bulding and never fixed one thing till you took over! Just sayin!

Rick you can keep changing your name on here, but we all know its you! Just sayin!

Is it such a crime for loving your place of employment and having so much passion for what you do? Keith really cares about his customers and that's why so many of them travel down to Largo and return again and again to Billy Jack's. I'm positive not one person continuously returns to Grumpy's for their friendly staff and personable service.

To put things into perspective there is more rat dropping than COMMENTS..

Too funny Brian!!

These comments sure went downhill fast!

Who had the rat problem again??? keep up the good work Rick! Hahaha

Can you say zero customers

The only thing missing from the pictures was customers. When Billy jacks was there the only thing you could take pictures of were people .....lots of people, sometimes toooo many people,,,, usually the only place you could sit was on the fence ......God I miss it .....thanks again Rick

So, the business is for sale? How does that work? Give him money for a failed venture and he gets to be your landlord as well? Regardless of what you thought of Billy Jacks l feel compelled to be an open book. Prior to our departure in August of 2008 we were paying $48,000 dollars a year in rent. Staring down renewal we had indicated a strong desire to stay but the chatter around town was that they wanted our business. I was actually sitting at Fairway ( The New Billy Jacks) when I opened his proposal. He lost me in the beginning when I was informed that snow and ice remove was my responsibility in addition to offering no support for ANYTHING in the old decrepit structure. Once I hit the $1100.00 per month increase we knew we were dealing with someone who thought they could do it better! The location is great but anyone considering a purchase should talk to Mary and I first... the books are open!

Hey justsayin, never had any rats when it was Billy Jacks? Building disgusting... absolutely! The owner of Grumpys owns the building and he's seeing "it ain't so easy"! For you Kenny... ditto! Come on down and boycott with the hundreds of people that are waiting for a table if you are smart enough to figure out the complex PSTA bus schedule? Sam, oh Sam, Keith's not a redneck... he's from fricken Illinois! I really look forward to driving by Bill's Super Gas in the very near future and seeing you guys sitting in lawn chairs drinking beer and talking about how great Grumpy' was... goodnight!

so tired of commenting and reading comments from bill and keith, your both freaking idiots and dont warrant a response... losers,losers,losers !!!

Yet you still responded, Janice. You're the idiot that does't know the difference between your and you're! Do we need to go back to 6th grade English class?

Oh Janice Appleton or JANICE A, its getting hard to remember all the made up names, e-mail adresses and passwords isnt it Rick?! and yes Rick we are laughing at you everyday. We told you karma would get you, I understand you being upset because everyone is watching you run your business into the ground, but 3rd grade name calling is the best you got? Hahaha! So now make up a new name or write in all caps Rick so we wont know its you again hahaha!

Well, well, well.....Grumpy's needs to be taken over by the citizens of Palm harbor. We want our bar back. and Janice or Rick or whoever you (think) you are should just give it up.!!!!

If it smells like a rat, or leaves droppings at 1026 Nebraska I can tell you why. Rick Gruber, Broker at Realtec Business Brokers, Palm Harbor/East Lake has been hired by Rick to try and sell what he claims is a business? Funny thing is this is the same Rick Gruber that sold us Billy Jacks and just feels horrible by what that rotten Rick Clowes would do to our successful business. No wonder the rat dung was so deep! For a 100k down and finance another 80k you can own this gold mine. Oh yeah, you get to pay Rick 5k a month for a rat infested dump! Janice A, hmmm?

My God, this just keeps getting uglier and uglier. After reading the immature ramblings on here, I wouldn't go to any of your restaurants!

listen up bill.. if you were such a great business man/ restaurant owner, you would have been able to arrange your finances so you could have kept billy jacks, but you didnt !! stop your damn belly aching and move on with your life!! you act like a child with all your whining and bad mouth talking, i wouldnt be all that proud of billy jacks anyway, the place was always dirty and unkept. worry about your own place and stay out of palm harbor !! YOU WOULD BE DOING A LOT OF FOLKS A FAVOR !! DOWNTOWN PALM HARBOR DOSENT CARE ANYMORE !!

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.

Rick....don't through rocks at Bill when your wife is a drunk herself! You are a disgusting businessman who seriously needs to have a good look in the mirror.

And I know I spelt throw wrong before the spelling police come on!

oh yeah that ugly mean old lady is drinking at 9 am.. furthermore she was bleeding and served food with blood in it, tried to pass it off as ketchup... yes, health dept has been called again, she needs to just go away,, what a waste..

jane you are so correct in your statement
