Honestly I think GRRM's "style" is basically the same as Tolkien's, he just revels in the edgy bullshit and isn't nearly as good at writing in general. I like the style, though, and I think the criticism of their description of scenes is (in both cases) tiresome and overexaggerated.
It is from the dull part of the book, when the main characters are screwing around doing nothing, failing to advance the plot whatsoever and nothing is happening. No elves, no Aragorn, no Rohirrim. Tolkien vividly describes their meals, though.

Oh, that reminds me: Epic Rap Battles Of History: J. R. R. Tolkien vs George R. R. Martin.

For me that works because describing that meal is an interesting way of introducing the characters and showing what they are like
