Clawson Residents Sad to See Grumpy's Close

Several areas residents were sad to hear that Grumpy's in Clawson will be closing its doors at the end of the month.

The 50s style diner, which opened in 2007, will close on March 30, owner Doug Doney said Thursday. Doney did not want to comment on why they are closing but said he does not have plans to reopen.

"We've had great support from the people of Clawson and the customers in the area. It's been real helpful," said Doney, who owns Grumpy's with his wife Wanda. "We're sorry that this thing is going down the way it's going down."

Many Clawson Patch readers posted their feelings about the closing on the Clawson Patch Facebook Page.

Lisa Bartley said that she loved the Mac Truck Burger, Mark and Kimberly Middlewood said they enjoyed everything we were able to try on the menu.

Cindy Burlager posted, "We will miss them, great food and wonderful hospitality. So sorry to see them go. Frequent lunch spot with co-workers."

Allison Joy McCulloch said, "We went out to dinner there last night and were so sad to find this out. We love it there! We walk there all the time in the summer and our daughters love to get ice cream after they eat. How sad!"

Melissa Mayer posted, "Boo, my 3 year old loves eating there. He loves the cars! Guess we'll have to take one more trip."

Grumpy's, located at 230 S. Main Street in Clawson, offers burgers, fries, shakes, deli sandwiches and more in a distinctly vintage atmosphere.
