Service was good. The food sub par. The restaurant is filthy. I had an unknown thing in my rolled silverware. Witnessing them feed wildlife off of the same sheet pan that is most likely used for human consumption is a scary thought. Poor judgement on their part across the board. I am sure I hear the theme song from "Deliverance" when I walk by this joint. read more

Grumpy's Cafe - What is in my rolled silverware? - Desserts Near Me - Rockaway Beach, Oregon

Hashbrowns came out barely cooked. Eggs whites were runny and not cooked. Asked to have hashbrowns browned & crispy before I knew the eggs were not cooked well. Eggs were cold when it came back. Cook and waitress argued with me. took one bite to see if I could eat it. They finally took the meal off of the bill. If you like under cooked food, and rude people, this is the place for you. read more

Horrible service and bad food. The staff was rude and it took forever to get our meal. Once we got our food the chips were expired. Would not recommend. read more

After a day of sightseeing at Cannon beach we were cold wet and tired. We were taking a scenic drive back to Hillsboro and decided we wanted a something warm to drink. As good fortune would have it we discovered Grumpy's Cafe in Rockaway Beach OR. As soon as we walked in the door the staff greeted us and made us feel at home. Long story short, we got a coffee and tea and stayed for dinner. We had the Clam Chowder and it was the best we ever had. It was hot and thick like we like it...very hearty! Most amazing service Friendly staff! They love what they do! No one is grumpy here!! Really loved their fresh baked goodies!! And death by chocolate banana bread. You won't go wrong when you go to Grumpy's Cafe read more

I get the name is Grumpy's but holy shit it was the worst service I've ever had. The food was awful. I couldn't get a refill on my coffee so we had to leave the "cafe" and go through a coffee drive thru. It was so rude and god awful I felt like I was on a hidden camera show or something read more

The food was fantastic and, name and ample humorous signage to the contrary, the service was welcoming and friendly. Recommend buying a pastry for the wait if one exists and be prepared for a delicious old school breakfast. read more

Nicest servers, fast and delicious food! One of the best places in Rockaway. We had a hard time finding good food during our stay, but this was one of our favorites. read more

After finding everything too busy for breakfast we ended up walking in this shithole. There was a lineup but the waitress is in her hundreds and probably should retire, like seriously lady, get a young kid willing to work for pennies and go play with your great great grandchildren. She gets us seated fairly quickly even though this TINY place was packed. We honestly were not expecting to get much seeing how they only had three people total running the place. We get our scrambled eggs flat like pancakes and they seriously need to learn the word salt, the potatoes tasted like I just pulled them outta the dirt. My husband ordered without cheese omelet which they didn't do but he says it was still good, you guys are lucky he's a wannabe "Vegan" or we maybe bitchin more. The place was old AF I mean pealing paint and obviously been there since the Depression and they have never thought remodeling might improve their business success but unless they tore the whole damn shithole down that's impossible with the small space called a restaurant. Once we sat for ten mins and after Dino lady told us she doesn't take orders that's the guys job who's literally doing everything but pouring flat eggs on the grill. Because they have like two businesses in one it seems. He was quick and dressed like he was comfortable but you can tell he wants a real server, old lady is probably his mother and he feels bad because she can't survive on her SSI. I just wanna hug her, she looks like she's early stages of wtf?? Food came out within mins of ordering, which was strange considering the service to get our order taken to begin with. The food was good. It really was, it wasn't the best but I certainly wouldn't give them one star. You princess who expected prime 5* service when you saw the obvious run down shithole are just privileged and need to check your damn standards. Seriously. We were in and out in about 30 mins. That's pretty awesome for servers and a restaurant that's obviously as old as potato dirt. It was cheap as shit too! Two of us had breakfast and a coffee for $23. I'd go back. read more

Exactly what you'd hope for in a beach town greasy spoon. Great atmosphere, tasty food (especially the eggs benedict), and friendly service.

Good food. Servers/owner fit the name but are kind. Better than most in this area which are having a hard time keeping help. I would definitely return. read more

We come to RB a lot and somehow had never eaten here. We finally tried it and had an all around great experience. We were greeted and seated right away. The place was clean and decorated for the holidays. Between us all we got to taste most breakfast items. The food tasted scratch made and the meats were quality. The prices were really reasonable too. We got some pie to go. Service was prompt and polite, no grumps in sight. read more

On the plus side: their food is decent. Their menu is greasy-spoon diner fare. The waffle I had was fluffy and filling. My husband had the biscuits and gravy with eggs and links and enjoyed them. They had non-dairy creamer options for their coffee, and I appreciated that. On the negative side: service was horrible. When we walked in, there were two servers behind the counter with their backs turned. Maybe they were busy? No biggie. But after several minutes, people stood to collect their checks and more people formed in line behind us. The waitress appeared aloof to everything but eventually--and slowly--began to help everyone. We were seated and the other server took our order. He seemed distant as well, almost cold. I asked him not one, not two, but three different times for a glass of water. We got our food quicker than expected but none of the servers checked on us to see if we needed anything else, how the food was, etc. We paid the tab up front and left feeling disappointed. Until Grumpy's Cafe stops living up to their namesake, we won't be back. read more

Food was not only terrible but the 3 bites I did eat was cold! Apparently no one turned on the fryer so not only were 4 tables served before us but everything and I mean EVERYTHING was cold and un edible! I keep giving this place second chances but NO MORE! Do yourself a favor go to Parkside in Garibaldi. read more

We have eaten here the last two mornings. We all enjoyed everything we tried. The food was great and Mary was a blast. We were in the restaurant when the party that left the bad review entered. It's a tiny mom and pop restaurant. They wanted a table for 16 in a restaurant with booths and small tables. We were impressed with how composed Mary was as she tried to accommodate them. My suggestion is to come early and enjoy! read more

Service was horrible, we came in before other groups and noticed they got their orders and food before we were able to place our order. We asked what was going on the the waitresses were both very rude telling us we had parties ahead of us and we just had to wait our turn. They finally took our orders and we started seeing the pattern. More and more people were coming in and no one was being helped, no drinks and no orders. Not sure what is wrong with this place, has potential in such a small town but the service needs help. Would not try again or recommend. read more

I hate to do this, especially during Covid, but during this time things should be kept a little cleaner. We completely lost our appetites while drinking our coffee due to a fingernail/toe nail that was laying on our the table. We brushed it off but couldn't stop thinking about it so paid for our meal and left with out eating. read more

The two servers were sighing every time we asked for something and didn't give us silverware or water. The food was not good and the wait was over an hour. When i went to pay the bill the cashier clicked the 15% tip option for me when i wasn't going to tip because of the poor service, they were rude to children and overall the experience was very bad. DO NOT GO HERE! read more

Service was poor. Food was greasy spoon food, which is fine but JFC very expensive for greasy spoon diner food and poor service.

A small diner in a small coastal town. Nothing fancy, but large portions, good food. I have been here many times. It is very family friendly. The service is good. Not fast, but friendly. I do not agree with the negative reviews at all especially the MAGA review. I think that reviewer must have woke up on the wrong side of the bed. read more

Huge pancakes, and great homemade biscuits and gravy. Always love coming to Grumpy's! read more

Friendly service, hearty portions. No frills, but I feel like I got my money's worth. Will visit again when I'm in Rockaway.

The food was really good. The one server did a great job! The danishes looked delicious but can't have on our keto diet!!

They do not wear masks and really are grumpy! When I asked why, the response was they don't like people, so they stay in the kitchen. Would you want to eat that food? What other rules are they not following. read more

The bacon, eggs, and toast were really good. I was really looking forward to the hash browns, but they were cold, as if they were from the day before and they semi-reheated them. My son liked the apple juice and eggs. read more

It's pretty much the Only breakfast spot in town so...The pancakes are huge and delicious. Who can finish these? The biscuits and gravy were classic and perfect. The French toast, pretty good. Yes to bacon. The place is small but the staff does a good job getting everyone served. And they re not really that grumpy, just " coasty." It's classic, American breakfast pure and simple. Try it. read more

Grumpy's Cafe - Pancakes, bacon, eggs over easy. Biscuits and gravy . French toast with bacon and eggs. - Desserts Near Me - Rockaway Beach, Oregon

Great food! I got the breakfast sandwich with their homemade chocolate milk. There wasn't much seating, but there wasn't much of a crowd. I went around 10am on a Thursday. The waitstaff were attentive to refills and other questions. The dining room was clean. read more

Food is bland and inconsistent. A hard biscuit and gravy one day, stale and inedible hash browns the next. You never know what you will get. I asked why they didn't put salt on anything and they told me the owners are allergic. How anyone can run a restaurant while allergic to basic seasonings is beyond me. Service is usually mediocre to terrible, depending on how busy and who is staffed that day. Servers tend to be short and rude. Living up to the restaurants name, grumpy... however I don't blame them because i know for a fact the owners don't pay well and overwork their employees. I also know for a fact that the owners dip their grubby fingers into the tip jar and take a share of the tips meant for their workers, they also take a share of the credit card tips and put the taxes on their employees check. Ambiance is always frazzled as if they were a large restaurant bustling with people and servers unable to keep up with demand, despite the fact there are only 8-9 tables jammed into a tiny tacky restaurant plastered with tasteless decor and still sporting last years Christmas decorations in the middle of April. If you decide to go I suggest you buy the coffee and brownies at the front desk because the brownie comes from a Ghirardelli box and has nothing to do with grumpy's lack luster culinary nightmare. I hope they fail and make way for a cafe who will actually capitalize on the location. We need a good breakfast place around here that treats its customers with respect and dignity. read more

A definite 5-star restaurant! Prices are great for the gigantic portions you'll receive. Beware of the pancakes. They are FREAKING HUGE. Bigger than your face. Order just one, trust me. Unless you haven't eaten in a year or weigh 400 pounds. The biscuits and gravy are some of the best I've had, highly recommend an order of those. Eggs and hashbrowns are cooked to perfection, but the bacon was a little over-done for me. Most folks like crispy bacon, so I won't complain too much on that, especially because it was still delicious and they use nice, big thick slices of bacon, not the shrimpy, pathetic greasy strings we get in Texas. The decor is fun and beachy with painted walls and kites hanging from the ceiling. The service wasn't too grumpy at all, and the natives visiting the restaurant seemed quite happy to be there. Could be the amazing food, or the absolute crap weather on the Oregon Coast that day. We stayed at Tradewinds Motel on Rockaway Beach, which was wonderful and right across the street from Grumpy's Cafe. Win-win! read more

We came in and waited at the door for about two minutes before being acknowledged. In the meantime, we watched a younger gal scolding another older woman for who knows what? After having a table cleaned off we were seated. Utensils brought. Then again listening to another scolding. Something about leaving the till in middle of ringing up. The older woman was trying to get some pie an desserts to go for another table. I do need to mention, what happened to having long hair pulled back in food handling? Plus a dog that was Not a service animal under another table. Not sure if these folks would pass dirty diner. There was another table of 6 that got tired of waiting, came and paid for their drinks and left. Another man who got service and told sorry for the wait with a , "ya know how it goes". Listened to another scolding from the gal in dreadlocks to the older woman.( I know I would have told her, I quit) I told my husband well wait 2 more minutes. Man who had been waiting got his order. We still were not acknowledged. We got up to leave and the dreadlock gal finally noticed us saying, "Sorry were very busy" Why couldn't that have been said earlier? At least brought coffee and waters. I think 20 minutes is way past waiting. My number one issue with Grumpys, NEVER argue or scold someone in front of customers earshot or sight, 2. If you are that busy, stop by the table and say something. Not a good experience. read more

Sooooo.. this by far was one of the worst establishments I've ever been to. If I could give negative stars I would. This is the perfect place to go if u want bad service and terrible food. When we first arrived (party of 11) we literally got our drinks at different times and to make it worse the drinks were served in dirty cups. This was only the beginning, it took FOREVER for the lady to even offer to take our order, she literally went to every table before coming back to ours. I have a mild suspicion that it was because we were all "of color". When she finally arrived we all ordered and one of my friends asked if her hash browns could be extra crispy... well the server literally told her, well you get what you get, the cook starts the hash browns before you order, so hopefully there's some crispy ones in there. At this point we should've left but we were starving and it was Memorial Day so we decided to wait it out and hope the food is better than the service.. we were def wrong! All of our food came out cold! Literally barely edible. The ham steak was literally like a rock! Even the pancakes were disgusting! The kids wouldn't even eat it! We ate what was edible and left. This was a terrible restaurant with awful service. Half of us had to go to the Corner store next door to get food.. and that was more satisfying than Grumpy's Cafe. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone! They need to work on customer service and hire better cooks. This restaurant makes Rockaway Beach look bad! Needless to say we will NEVER go back read more

Awesome food! The bacon was thick and I asked for mine on the crispy side . Had great music playing the whole time my boyfriend and I enjoyed our breakfast! Fast service and our food came hot! read more

The food reviews didn't look the best, so my friend and i just ordered hash browns. It took 40 minutes for someone to bring "left over hash browns to snack on until the fresh ones are made". At that point we said forget it we'll just take the check. 20 minutes AFTER asking for it, we find out you have to walk up to pay. While standing in line, the man yelled at the cook and spoke with upmost disrespect. The coffee is burnt. My family was not impressed with their eggs beni. This place is a NO GO! The people next to us also ordered about 30-40 minutes ago and the guy just came up to them to tell them they don't have what they ordered.... This place is a joke read more

Walked in and was greeted by a literal robot of an old woman. Asked "what do you want?" in a cranky tone, without saying a word beforehand. Never refilled my water, the teenage boy also charged me for a coffee he never gave me. This place joins Ricks Roadhouse as another place that only accepts locals and treats them as human. Two stars, only because the man behind the counter said "thanks for coming in" when giving us back our check. Food was relatively cheap, but you get what you pay for! You may not have many breakfast options in Rockaway but do yourself a favor and just stay away from here. read more

This was one of the worst restaurant experiences I have ever had. We sat down and waited for 10 min before I could order a coffee. While we were waiting too long for our food one of the waiters had an anger outburst with the coffee creamers in the waiter station that made everyone in the restaurant feel uncomfortable. The servers were stressed having all 10 tables in the restaurant with people in them and we're not very polite when anyone asked a question. I overheard the adjacent table say they were afraid to ask for ketchup. All of this and more which made it the worst restaurant experience ever. We finally left the restaurant before we got all of the food we ordered and we will never go back. I recommend going to any other restaurant in town. read more
