Why go

Grimm Tavern is a $$ American spot with a 4.5 Google rating across 49 reviews, and the clearest signal in the highlighted reviews is the burger: one reviewer calls it the “Best burger in the hood,” with gluten-free buns available.

The tavern side gets a positive mention, too. Another reviewer praises the beer as “of course excellent,” with the burger and fries also landing well. Not every plate is a lock—the upside down cake was called dry by one reviewer—but the return-trip intent is there, with trout and steak named as reasons to come back.

Lovely addition to the neighborhood! The beer was of course excellent and the burger and fries were also really tasty. The upside down cake was a bit of a miss for me—a bit dry and not enough fruit. Will return to try the trout and the steak!
