"We stopped at the Grumpy Goat in Ankeny on our way to the airport to drop off our sons. We had intended to eat at a couple of other places but they were fully booked for Mother's Day. My son remarked that the fact that the Grumpy Goat was only half full should have been a red flag. Upon looking at the menu, my wife was interested in ordering the cheese bites but was taken aback by the steep price of $17.50. We decided to skip that and my son ordered the Elvis Burger, only to be disappointed that they were out of bacon. We found it unacceptable for a restaurant to be out of basic ingredients like bacon. I opted for the Root Beer Burger, which was decent but the bun-to-burger ratio was off. To make matters worse, the price we were charged was double what was listed on the menu. Our other son ordered the Caesar Salad with grilled chicken, but was disappointed by the small portion size and lack of flavor. My wife and I decided to skip ordering altogether and eat in Des Moines after dropping off our sons at the airport. After two beers, a salad, and an average burger, we were left with a bill of $72. We recommend saving your time and money and dining elsewhere."
