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!

I live in Little Rock and have made 9 to 12 trips to the grumpy rabbit from its opening date today we had breakfast there I had my favorite the corn beef hash which did not resemble anything like the corn beef hash that I had had there in the past I was very disappointed. We’ll probably not return I am sad to say unless maybe for dinner.
The Grumpy RabbitResponded on September 5, 2023
I am so sorry we messed up your brunch. Were you here on Saturday or Sunday? I need to know what they did to the corned beef hash. Please contact me at 501.438.8005. The corned beef hash is also my favorite and no changes have been approved. I would like to compensate you for your meal. It takes an extra half hour to make your way out here and to not get the correct meal is unacceptable.

The place was solid overall…we sat upstairs and the crew was getting their morning going, it got much livelier after we left. Really cool older building, take a look around and take in some of the details the GC/owner kept from the original old building. Definitely give it a go if you’re in the Lonoke/Cabot area. I’ve now been for both brunch and lunch…try the burger if you stop in!

We live over an hour away so we don’t go as often as we would like, but it is always excellent. If you are looking for something off the beaten path give them a try. You wont be disappointed. My husband loves the steak or the pork chop. I always order the blackened redfish with grits. Amazing every time!!

This is a hidden gem! Brunch on weekends is popular, so reservations are recommended. The pancakes were delicious - huge and sweet. The thick cut bacon was cooked to a chewy perfection. My companion had the corned beef hash and raved about it. Neither of us could finish our meals. You will leave satisfied, and the pricing was more than fair.

The Rabbit never disappoints! The blackberry margarita was a pleasant surprise. The salad greens were a wonderful fresh mix, and the toppings of goat cheese and pecans complemented nicely along with the housemade dressing. The steaks were cooked perfectly to our taste. The okra was local and fresh, and prepared split lengthwise then fried in a crispy batter. This was not our first visit there and certainly won't be our last!

We visited on a Tuesday night. The atmosphere may be louder on weekends. The only reason I marked “value” down was that it is pretty expensive and the limited menu for dinner offers dishes that don’t really come with any side dish choices, nor any bread with the meal. Service was friendly and food tasted great and it’s a really funky little place that’s worth checking out!

We went for our anniversary before our sons baseball game. Everything was great. My husband had the duck, my son and I had the ribeye. We shared the peach crumble something. Our waitress was great and very attentive. The owner is very personable. They were training new wait staff so he was helping her learn how to present the food to the customers. 3rd time there and will return again and again. Next time I will stick with the carrot cake because you can’t beat it!

It was just “OK”. The Red fish was way over cooked to the point it was burned. I hated to say something but even the waitress noticed it. She took it back and the next piece was raw. I had the ribeye and it was good. The sides were good but again, nothing that was better than many other places. The dessert was very good. I’ve heard very good things about this place, maybe we just got it on a bad day. I also heard they got a new chef. Undecided if we will return.

We came for brunch, late in the day, so it was quiet. There are multiple dining areas which are each unique. We dined at the window table with a view of the Main Street. The brunch Bloody Mary was spot on including a spiced salted rim and a garnish that included an okra! Refreshing and tasty. All 4 entrees were good. The avocado toast was creative and much lighter than most. The toast was grilled thin soft pumpernickel, I think. It was garnished with mint. My companions ordered biscuits and gravy, swamp grits and corned beef hash that included top notch hollandaise. All we’re pleased. Service was delightful and efficient. The art work throughout was and additional treat for the senses. We’re planning a return visit for dinner!

Our first visit was during Covid. It was pleasant but the prospect of a 35 minute drive from a home that is blocks from the city's "restaurant row" just proves too daunting. The arrival of a new chef whose food we have been very fond was just the impetus we needed. As hoped, the food offering was uniquely inviting for the region and beautifully composed. What was particularly interesting was the involvement, by name, of the culinary team in the menu items. The wait staff is delightfully local but still a work in progress as they become familiar with a more complex menu requiring well-timed delivery. Did not have a chance to try the bar but the pre-set wines were very nice.
