Grumpy Joe Restaurant

Grumpy Joe is one of the newest food joint in town. It is located along Leonard Wood Road, Baguio City. They serve pizza, pasta, and sandwiches among others. 


You'll definitely love their food IF you are a fan of Jollibee-tasting-spaghetti. Personally, it was a disappointment for me coz I'm not into the FIlipino style kind of tomato sauce/ base (especially the flavored ready-to-cook type of tomato sauce which was obviously used on their food).

We went here mid afternoon, ambiance wasn't that inviting. Staff were friendly and attentive to their customers though.


I find the food really ordinary and pricey as to the food's quality. On the right is their "Grumpy Joe Fried Chicken with rice and potato salad". Being one of the resto's signature dish, I was expecting way more than what was served.


"Chili Con Pizza Wrap" which I find weird coz it's stuffed with  ham, bacon, onions, cream, and some cheese. Not to mention that the dough inside was not cooked. They claim it's mozzarella however, I cook pastry and I sure know what mozzarella tastes and looks like; I surely know how to differentiate cheese from uncooked dough. Cut the story short, I ended up eating 1/4 of the thing and didn't pay for it.



Still would recommend coz you might like it. Plus, I might have ordered their wrong specialty. I won't give my rating on this one, I'll just leave it to you guys.

I came in really hungry expecting for a great dining experience but unfortunately went out grumpy.

  1. Aww i feel you. i had just lunch there today and i was very disappointed
    1. the food was cold. My sister ordered 'Combo b' and she had a plate of cold spaghetti and buffalo wings. (expected much because of the price).
    2. they did not change her plate, instead just placed it in a microwave (awful!)
    3. i ordered for their Grumpy Joe burger (claiming its their best seller) and oh my! i was very disappointed. the bread was already soggy because the oil was dripping into the bread. there wasn't any special mayo sauce. the patty was like seasoned with salt and pepper only and it was dry. I could have had army navy burger for the same price and enjoyed it.
    4. the burger was on a wooden chopping board like thing and all i could think was salmonella. I wish they lined it with wax paper perhaps or covered half of the burger with foil, with all the oil i had in the burger dripping into its surface, ooohhh salmonella that's it. And
    5. the pineapple in the burger!!!! what a loser. its not even del monte nor dole pimeapple slices. it was small and not even sweet. it was bland.

    I will never ever eat there again.It will leave you grumpy

    1. I see a lot of posts on FB really satisfied with their dining experience here. I wonder if it depends on the one who serves the food or what. But I'd rather go to Zio's to get my money's worth and be really happy with my food :)
