Article and photo by Rob Roedel Senior Director of Corporate Communications: Arkansas Living How does a 29-year career educator manage to teach and operate two successful restaurants? To discover the secret, go see Angie Mix at Grumpy’s Getaway in Rose Bud. Mix began working in the restaurant business about 20 years ago and fell in love with it. Eventually she bought another restaurant, sold it, then opened another. About four years ago, she and her husband, Greg (also known as Grumpy by his grandchildren), opened Grumpy’s Getaway. The restaurant features a large space that is tastefully decorated and has a friendly atmosphere. The vibe is complemented by the very attentive staff. Grumpy’s serves as a local gathering place for fundraisers and other community events. During my visit, the parking lot was full, and the restaurant was packed with a variety of patrons, from church groups to retirees to business professionals. “I have a tremendous staff of dedicated employees,” Mix said. “We love watching our employees grow and succeed. We have built some strong relationships with our customers. Many of them are just like family.” Only the freshest, top-quality food is served. According to Mix, she won’t skimp, as her customers deserve only the best. I can attest to her commitment based on my visit. I was served an appetizer platter of delicious, golden-fried Southern goodness featuring Bang Boom Shrimp, Fried Green Tomatoes and Fried Mushrooms. Each item was fresh, not frozen, and was coated with her secret breading recipe. The homemade dipping sauce was a nice complement for each option. Daily lunch specials are served at Grumpy’s as well as breakfast. To read the full article, visit Arkansas Living Mix-ing it UP!  Comments are closed.
