We came back to have the hamburger and fries. We've eaten the high price items and the lower end and have never been disappointed. I could only eat half of my meal, and my husband ate almost all and was stuffed

What an amazing evening from the Bourbon bar (with a dozen fresh oysters) to our dinner, all was perfection. The staff is attentive and seems to anticipate your every need. And the food? Prepare to be dazzled and satiated. While this is not an inexpensive restaurant, the value and experience is well worth the investment.

About the restaurant

Our vision for The Grumpy Rabbit is to serve both Lonoke residents as well as people from surrounding communities and visitors passing through town. We want Lonoke to thrive and be prosperous and believe that leading by example and running a successful business will attract others to the area and inspire similar investment. Our hope for The Grumpy Rabbit is that as an anchor for revitalization, it will become a central location that draws foot traffic to historic downtown Lonoke. Additionally, as we employ both full-time and part-time staff, we are excited to bring new families to Lonoke, and know they will love the area as much as we do!
