Despite the angry sounding name, Grumps Burgers never fails to delight us with their terrific cheese burgers, so it wasn’t a hard choice on where to eat on our way to watch the Cleburne Railroaders, a new professional baseball team in the American Association (not a minor-league team).

While standing in line to order, my kids grabbed the table in the corner!

The Granbury location is the original,  and has a big outdoor patio, so naturally it’s my favorite.  It’s also dog-friendly, and we take our new little pup with us almost everywhere!

Last year they also opened a Wiffle Ball field, which is open to the public and has bats, balls, etc.  You can also reserve it for parties, how fun is that?!

The Burleson location has an outdoor patio on the 2nd floor, and is located in Downtown Burleson, which makes for a nice place to take a stroll after dinner!

At the Cleburne location, we munched on the complementary peanuts while we waited for our food.  How long was the wait, well, we didn’t finish one hand of Uno.  Isn’t that how every restaurant review ranks speediness?

The cheeseburgers were delicious, and disappeared before I had a chance to take a picture.  My oldest son and I both got the jalapeno bacon cheeseburger, and really, the jalapeno bacon is AMAZING!

My oldest just wanted to eat!

In addition to selling Blue Bell Ice Cream, Grumps also sells Dublin Bottling Works Soda, which when added together make an incredible ice cream float!

Award Winning Jalapeno Ketchup Strikes Again!

12/13/16

Award Winning Jalapeno Ketchup Strikes Again with a win from The Chile Pepper Awards hosted by The Chile Pepper Magazine/McAby Media! In November, Grumps’ Jalapeno Ketchup was entered into the Chile Pepper Awards that is hosted by Chile Pepper Magazine/McAby Media, based out of Stafford, TX. The Chile Pepper Magazine, in its 30th year of publication, is the only “print publication dedicated to the spicy lifestyle,” says publisher Sir McMillen. The magazine has over 200,000 readers, including an international subscription base.

Now, back to the Jalapeno Ketchup!! – The Jalapeno Ketchup was entered into the Condiments – Ketchup division in the competition. Early in December, Grumps Headquarters received a knock at the door. Behind it, the most glorious little square box was being delivered by the local UPS man. BEHOLD, it must be some kind of major award for the Jalapeno Ketchup was inside (this would potentially be the second year in a row for a division title, so we knew it was something good)!

As we all jumped for joy, we couldn’t help but wonder what we had won – of course, The Chile Pepper Magazine wouldn’t just send this nice, heavy box for no reason…….. As we carefully tore into the cardboard box, another blue box was inside (sounds like one of those Christmas gag gifts where you keep having to open box after box…….) Well, inside the blue box, there was something special – The FIRST PLACE award for our Jalapeno Ketchup! We jumped for joy, took selfies with the award (and other photos), and posted them across our social media pages (our marketing gal was super excited, can’t you tell??)!

Grumps is very honored to have won this award for the second year in a row. Thanks to the folks at The Chile Pepper Magazine/McAby Media who voted! Looking forward to next year!

By Kathy Cruz –

A special presentation was made at Tuesday night’s regular meeting of the Granbury City Council to show appreciation to law enforcement and first responders. It was a continuation of an outpouring of support that began after the ambush of police officers in Dallas a couple of weeks ago.

Individuals and businesses in the community continue to give a strong show of support to local law enforcement.

Police Chief Mitch Galvan, Sheriff Roger Deeds and Granbury Fire Chief Brent Blackmon were present for the presentation by Carrie Bellamy.

Bellamy represented a group of individuals and businesses that raised money to provide employees of the Granbury Police Department and the Hood County Sheriff’s Office with Grump’s Burgers gift cards. Between both departments, there is a total of about 170 employees. Granbury’s Fire Station #1 will be receiving 225 cases of water. Each case contains 24 bottles.

Each gift will be accompanied by a letter expressing appreciation for the daily service, bravery and dedication exhibited by first responders.

The Texas Bucket List – Grumps

Published Feb. 14, 2014

Grumps to Partner with Support Our Soldier Program

Grumps Burleson & Grumps Cleburne, both based in Johnson County, will be partnering with another fellow Johnson County resident, Support Our Soldier, in a campaign that will begin May 2 and end July 30. The goal of the campaign is to gather items needed for our local Soldiers who are deployed and get them the supplies they want and need. Each store will collect the requested items and the items will then be picked up, put in care packages, and shipped overseas.

Donors can drop items in the provided boxes any day of the week and a list of requested items is provided below:

• Beef Jerky
• Slim Jims
• Microwave Meals & Soups
• Protein Bars (Cliff, Kind, etc…)
• Fruit Snacks
• Bags of ground coffee (no large containers please)

The Support Our Soldier program was started by Teresa Nelson, a Johnson County resident, in 2011. Her goal of the organization is to “care beyond the box,” in that she provides many other services to our soldiers abroad and when they arrive back in the states. Support our Soldier also puts on several functions throughout the year to help bring awareness to the community. To find out more about Support Our Soldier, please visit their website at www.SupportOurSoldier.com.
