Grumpy's on Main — Restaurant in St. Bonifacius

COZY AMERICAN DIVE-BAR EXPERIENCE AWARD 🥇 BEST PIZZA IN TWIN CITIES AWARD 🥇 OFF THE BEATEN PATH AWARD 🥇

Arguably the best pizza this reviewer has ever had, outpacing even St Paul Italian pizzerias. If you want to take a quiet & quaint day trip out to the western suburbs of Minneapolis to the tiny town of St Bonifacius Minnesota for pizza, make SURE you make ‘Grumpys On Main’ your destination. Stopped by Saturday March 2nd 2023 about 2:30 pm after a day of shopping nearby. We knew what we wanted, but it’d been a while since we’d been in. The moment you pull up you realize you’re taking a step back in time as this bar/restaurant has many of its original features for your eyes to behold. Creaking floors and doors and a long wooden bar with window cut-outs showing the other non-barstool side of the place greet you on arrival. There is an outdoor fenced-in seating area with tables. Numerous large flatscreen TVs adorn the walls, each tuned to a different sports event. No need for dressy garb here. Regulars and old-timers at the bar will stretch their necks and stare to see ‘who walked in’ and soon as they find they don’t know you, they turn back to their tap beer & buddy conversations. Good selection of beer on tap and bottled beer, and spirits as well. We ordered a large pizza and a couple beers. Pepperoni, ham and green pepper. Nichole was our bartender and Alicia was our pizza server. They were both prompt and courteous. THE PIZZA IS DOWNRIGHT AMAZING. There’s so much fresh cheese melted on it that you’ll need napkins immediately. It is not greasy at all. Crust was medium thin and perfectly baked. Everything tasted fresh and ingredients were flavorful, the pizza’s red sauce was robust and no too tangy, just right. Once you take your first bite you’re hooked for good. Supplied at the non-assuming bar tables are grated Parmesan and red pepper flakes in restaurant glass shaker bottles, salt & pepper, plastic forks and small paper plates. There is no server on duty so you’ll need to communicate directly with the bartender for all orders. It was easy to speak to her between the window cutouts from our table. Other tables away from the cutouts will require you to walk to the bar for your orders. As with most things good, there was a wait time while our pizza was made, then cooked. It took about 15 minutes to receive our piping hot gooey cheesy pizza. We dug in immediately, and you know that OMG feeling you get when you taste something amazing? …well this was it. Two very cold beers rounded out the meal. It couldn’t have been any more the perfect American dive bar pizza experience. Highly recommended...

I'd give those plays absolutely no stars but I have to hit least one. Thus was probably the worst service I've ever had as well as the worst food I've ever had. I had to wait 45 minutes for burnt onion rings under cooked chicken strips under cook french fries and then you clearly states mayo but is really miracle whip which there is s huge difference between the two the server told me that mayo is the same and I should have asked asked she also stated that she would not apologize for it n told me its my choice to pay for it or not n if not I'd be put on the walk out list this made mcds look like a 5 star clearly they don't care about their food or customers since this was the first time I have been here to eat n honestly I'd call them in to the better business bureau it's that bad I will never go back not will I ever recommend anyone to eat there by far the...

Would go to this place for drinks and ive heard the pizza is decent but I would never eat here again. We ordered burgers. The bartender seemed to double as the cook and we didn't see a kitchen at all just a place behind the bar for prepping food. im pretty sure the burgers were microwaved. The Fried appetizers were ordered along with the burgers was terrible! This was literally the worst food ive ever ordered at a restaurant/bar. I wouldn't have fed it to my dog. Now I love dive bars and im cool with a certain amount of grime and poor quality cause that's all part of the charm. Why the 2 stars? If I wanted to go to a place and pound back 12 beers with some buddies and play pool id be happy to do it here. Just make sure you eat...
