| - My fiance and I were in Mt Horeb for a short visit and discovered this place after seeing ads off the highway. Grumpy Troll Pub and Brewery is... a pub and brewery. I actually don't happen to like pub food all that much, since it seems that most pub eateries think you can throw garbage in a fryer and serve it and call yourself a restaurant. That doesn't seem to be the case at Grumpy Troll. We got fried mac n gouda cheese bites, beer cheese soup, a Reuben, and fish and chips. The mac n gouda cheese bites were quite good - if you've had mac n cheese bites elsewhere, then you can imagine what they taste like here. The beer cheese soup was not very good, unfortunately, as it was way too salty - it served better as a dip for fries than it did a proper soup. The reuben was good quality for a pub (not as good as what you'd find at a quality deli, understandably) and the fried beer battered cod was delicious. The beer battered fries were incredibly. Absolutely incredible, and I'm pretty neutral toward fries, but these were really great, even after hours later when I was eating leftovers.
I give the food that I had a 3.5/5. But I had some of the best beer in recent memory here. We got a couple pints of the Trailside Wheat Hefeweizen and immediately fell in love. We actually got 3 more growlers of the stuff while we were in town. We were so fond of this beer, my rating gets boosted from a 3.5 to 4.5/5 stars.
Downsides are that the pizzeria is not open on Monday. However, notably, a lot of places are closed on Mondays in Mount Horeb, so it's not specific to Grumpy Troll.
