Grumpy's - Diners Near Me - East Dennis, Massachusetts

When in Hyannis/Dennis area, we've frequented The Daily Paper for breakfast. On a rec, we visited Grumpy's last Thursday (off season). Place was hopping. Feel like they could expand and make full use of the added space. Our server was great. Well, call us converts. Absolutely loved everything we tried. Cornmeal pancakes were delicious, eggs & homemade sourdough toast great, and imo best of all the home made corned beef hash and refried beans. The hash in particular I would say is probably The Best we've ever had - and we get this pretty much every time we go out for breakfast. That's high praise. One bite and you know there it wasn't out of a can or jar. The shredded corned beef was so light and tasty and the cubed potatoes perfectly cooked and mixed in. You'll want to order another helping to go! read more

Grumpy's definitely lived up to the positive reviews! The food was STELLAR! The eggs were cooked to order, bacon was plentiful and delicious, toast was well buttered, pancakes hit the spot and homefries were flavorful and cooked perfectly! The coffee was strong and delicious. We got a muffin to go and it was also amazing. The whole experience was fantastic. It was a busy place, even at 11a but the service was on point and attentive! Cute little place full of locals and vacationers! read more

Arrived about an hour before closing. The place was still hoping. The atmosphere was nice, fishermen motifs. We ordered the apple, cheddar and bacon omelette with raisin bread. We also ordered a side of baked beans. The omelette was ok, a little rubbery, maybe even overcooked. So glad we ordered the baked beans, they added needed flavor and were good. The raisin bread was very tasty, and good texture. read more

A disappointing breakfast at Grumpy's in East Dennis. Poached eggs overcooked, ersatz 'hollandaise' from a mix, and a din such that all conversation with our breakfast companions was drowned out. The noise level was atrocious. The others said they enjoyed their food but no one finished their food. I was aware there'd be a significant wait and didn't want to go there but our companions selected this spot. We used to go quite often in the old days. Now that we live in the Upper Cape I doubt we will go there again. read more

Grumpy's - The sauce was ersatz, the poached eggs were fully cooked through and hard and the hash dry. Sauce or runny eggs would've solved that issue - Diners Near Me - East Dennis, Massachusetts

This is a very casual, breakfast diner-type spot! We were visiting but based on my observation, it seems to be a hang out spot for locals. The staff seem to be friends with a lot of the diners. I got the homemade hash Benedict with hash brown and the portion size was huge!! I had to take half of it home, although I wish they gave more than one hash brown. Their cranberry nut muffin is the best thing since sliced bread. read more

We came here on Memorial Day for lunch. We walked in and were seated promptly at the counter. The interior is what you'd expect from a fisherman themed diner and is a fun vibe. The clam chowder was excellent and my Reuben with pasta salad hit the spot! The cornbread raspberry muffin was a great finish to the meal. Worth a try if you're in the area! read more

I heard the current owners are retiring & and hopefully selling, but I didn't want to take a chance on not ever having those cornmeal cranberry pancakes again! It's been a few years but I still remember them. Especially as it cranberry harvest season on cape again. I zipped over to grumpy's on Friday morning and the place was packed. No parking to be found. I had to drive around three times and finally get a spot, maybe everybody's having the same feelings about the place as I did, because they're just consistently good breakfast. So I ordered my cornmeal cranberry pancakes & they did not disappoint. (of course you could have them with blueberries or I suppose other fruits, but something about those warmed cranberries was special). Three huge delicious pancakes arrived with syrup and I added a side of sausage. 2 large links were delicious, wish I had more than two because these three huge pancakes were more than I could eat. I had leftovers the next day and enjoyed them tremendously too. I had friends that enjoyed their breakfast of fried eggs, English muffins, and a side of regular pancakes. The coffee there is OK and service was excellent. And 3 meals came to $49 which seems rather reasonable these days. The room is big and loud, today there's lots of locals having a good time so nothing wrong with that. It is the off-season, Hurry in and enjoy. read more

I had seafood cake Benedict and home fries. The hollandaise sauce was house made and quite good. The seafood cakes tasted almost sweet, which means the seafood was fresh and the cakes were not deep fried. The homefries were great too: crisped on the outside and soft in the middle. The place is cozy, wood but well lit. There was a line waiting to get a table and in spite of that we were seated quickly. The service was polite and food delivered swiftly. The portions were large. Our only problem was too many specials and menu choices. All in all I wish we lived closer- we would be here a lot. read more

It's a very dingy, a bit dirty, nostalgic place. Coffee was watered down but unlimited! Service is excellent, I didn't expect much, but with those prices at least I expected a cleaner place, the carpet seems to have never been cleaned. But for a tourist place, many people don't care about that, Food was good overall will I come back? No DM for more info! read more

Grumpy's is our go to breakfast/brunch place to go when we are on the Cape. As we say 'we go for the muffins and we stay for breakfast'. The muffins are incredible, all of them although the corn muffin is pretty standard. All the others are soft, large. And have loads of flavor. The blueberry ones are loaded with blueberries. The breakfasts are just as fantastic. The hearty breakfast (3 eggs, bacon, sausage, and choice of home fries, hash browns, etc.) is a great deal. And their other selections are done very well too. Menu is extensive with both breakfast and lunch selections and the specials are posted on chalkboards around the restaurant. The staff, most of whom have been there for years, are very friendly and helpful. Seating is all tables and counter space. They will configure tables to accommodate most group sizes. Depending on when you go expect that you may be waiting outside for a table but the wait is worth. If you don't mind sitting at the counter let the host know when they come around to check group sizes. Counter seating is sometime more readily available. They don't take reservations. read more

Great breakfast spot hope it continues even with new ownership. Only issue really is finding a parking spot. Maybe ride your bike there!

Well I have officially jumped on the Grumpy's bandwagon! We stopped by for breakfast on a Sunday in February. I did not expect a line but indeed there was one. No worries it moved right along. I opted to try the homemade hash and cheese omelet and upgrades for a muffin instead of toast. That was a $2.49 upcharge but their muffins are well worth it. The omelet was quite large but at $15 it should be. I watched as many plates went by and each one looked tantalizing. This is a place you definitely want to visit and I am sure to return as well. Btw if you want muffins to go... and you WILL want muffins to go. Order them right away or you may disappointed. read more

Grumpy's has been a favorite of ours for awhile and it still does not disappoint! Went for breakfast and the portions were huge. Two of us had omelets, one had the eggs Benedict and lastly an order of pancakes. We all left with very full stomachs. Can't wait to go back! There was a wait for a table, but the staff was really kind and it moved along pretty well. read more

Food selection and portions are great! The service is wonderful. It's like having breakfast at your grandmas house. Views are really pretty if you get a window seat. And if you're lucky enough to be staying across the street at the Sesuit Harbor House like I was then it's an extra bonus. read more

Local vibes and delicious food! I've been coming here for over 20 years and it's consistent every time. Their portions are generous and they have a huge specials menu displayed on multiple chalk boards that rotates with new choices every so often. They have a great system for waiting and the tables turn pretty quick. The staff is extremely friendly and some of the servers have been there a long time. A vacation to the cape wouldn't be complete without a breakfast or lunch at Grumpy's! read more

New favorite breakfast spot on the Cape! Our entire family swears that Grumpys is the best but we somehow hadn't been in yet. We stopped in this morning for a quick bite and weren't disappointed. Atmosphere is quaint and comfy. Similar to many of the other great breakfast places around. They have a decent amount of parking, but it definitely would fill up fast. It's obvious that on weekends and during the summer... there would be a wait here if you come during regular breakfast hours. I ordered the Eggplant Benedict, which was unique, but so delicious. I would absolutely get it again. Their hollandaise is perfect and there home fries are super flavorful. We left with full stomachs. read more

We had the Cape Cod Reuben, made with cod. The rye bread was toasted to perfection and buttery, the fish was crisp, the fries were crispy. Overall great lunch experience. Limited parking is the only downside. There is a large selection of breakfast items also. Would recommend checking out if nearby. read more

Unreal Breakfast. Reasonable, delicious, and well run. Would travel from other cape cod towns to enjoy again.

Oh boy we are coming back again on this trip. We love this place. It has a family mom and pop feel to it. Many of there dishes are homemade. It was very had to choose from. I recommend picking sides and sharing. You get a little of everything. The muffins are a must have. That stuff is crack so beware. It is served warm, grilled and some other way I can't remember. It was so fluffy and moist. Never had anything like it. The fish cake was . My goodness, it was tender flakey with a slight crunch. You can't pass it up. Our waitress made us feel like family. Actually the whole staff did. Some of them have been working there for over 31 years. It really shows how much they value their customers. No reservations. They do have a line out the door. They are quick though. The host comes out and takes a count of how many are in your party. No names or Cracker Barrel style "we will send you a text". Make sure you stay in line and have everyone with you. read more

If you're ever in cape cod I'd definitely recommend this spot. Only issue is you might have to wait a bit for a parking spot and to get in on the weekends. I had the home made corned beef hash Benedict and it was awesome and person was with had the seafood cake Benedict which was also delicious. The service was great and attentive and the ambiance was relaxed and comfortable. I know if I'm back on the area I will be back to try out some of their other dishes. read more

Grumpy's is heralded by local residents as THE best restaurant in Dennis, Massachusetts. And I'm here today to tell you that they are right! Don't let the long line of people waiting to be seated deter you. Just think of it as an indicator of how good the food must be, that people are willing to wait. Grumpy's gives you the feel of a diner/family-style restaurant, with great service that ironically feels like "southern hospitality". Everyone you encounter has a smile on their face and makes you feel at home. One thing I want to highlight that isn't pictured, was the grilled blueberry muffin that I ordered. It's hard to put into words how soft, fluffy, and buttery it was--but the crunchy outside and melt-in-your-mouth inside worked perfectly together. I ordered the corned beef hash omelette and they had to use at least 5 eggs. It was enormous!! One of the best omelettes I've had. The come fries were cooked just how I like them, soft but with a subtle crunch. If you ever find yourself visiting the Cape, add this place to your list! read more
