Grievous Angel

From the genius mastermind behind LoveBird Almost Famous Chicken, Jeremy Brumley strikes gold again. Grievous Angel offers “deceptively good burgers + dogs.” They offer five different burgers, pictured is the Peppercorn Saint with white cheddar, sautéed mushrooms, black peppercorn sauce, and arugula. All burgers are doublepatty smash burgers on locally-made potato buns, and they are SO wickedly good. The “dogs” are Snap-O-Razzo maple-smoked beef hot dogs in natural casings, no fillers. The fries come crinkle cut and “angel dusted.” A few but not all of the sides are Cowboy Caviar with black-eyed peas, Ranch Slaw, Chili Cheese Fries, Spicy Fried Pickles, a Texas Chop Wedge, and soft serve or beignets for a sweet ending.

They have a full bar with house cocktails, wine, beer, cider, and mocktails. The barstools are a glorious light pink color and are quite comfy, maybe to stay awhile? The back wall of the bar has a stained glass “window” that may or may not have you feeling like you’re having a drink at church, sort of.

The service was excellent, the food was absolutely amazing, it really is my new favorite place. Maybe I’ll see you there sometime.
