    Great service Daniel was friendly and attentive. Our group were happy with our food and service. Portions were generous. Dad joked that you definitely won't leave here grumpy great food And they keep the coffee mug full. Menu has many options. They were also very busy but they had plenty of staff to accommodate. Great casual beach breakfast brunch spot.

    Finally made it out to a Grumpy's location here in Jax, thanks to a recommendation from a fellow Elite we all know and love -- Chef James D! Sunday brunch at the Neptune Beach location was a real treat. Heads up: parking can be a little tricky unless you're driving a truck . We arrived around 11:45 AM and were quoted a 15-20 minute wait for two, but ended up snagging a cozy booth in the back within 5 minutes -- love when that happens. Our server was fantastic: knowledgeable about the full menu, quick to recommend specials, and impressively handled making our alcoholic drinks despite how busy the restaurant was. I ordered one of their classic breakfast combos (either #2 or #3), while my plus one went with the day's special: a steak omelette. Both dishes were hearty, piping hot, and gave a real bang for your buck. Grumpy's marketing team has reached out to me before offering a complimentary meal in exchange for social media content. I hadn't taken them up on it -- but after finally experiencing it for myself and being genuinely impressed, I'll definitely keep them in mind for future collabs. I can't sell what I haven't tried myself - full transparency. It's definitely share worthy. Huge thanks to James D. for the solid recommendation! Left very happy with the service, food, and overall vibe.

    Service is always awesome here. The servers are good at anticipating your needs and providing things before you even know you need them-- today was our servers birthday and she made the experience so much better. Food is HOT & Fresh! ***Pro tip: Berry butter is delicious. Get your hash browns "scattered & crispy". For bread options...get the Asiago. Trust me.

    We were on a road trip to Jacksonville Beach and decided to order pickup breakfast at Grumpy's while in JB on 12/21/24. The reviews looked good for the most part so we ordered and picked up breakfast for our room. The restaurant is cute and nicely decorated and was filled with people. It looked encouraging. I ordered the Ham n Cheese omelet thinking that it should be perfection. Unfortunately, it wasn't! It was so dry and tasted weird. Overcooked. I was starving so I didn't want to drive back and wait again for a new order. My daughter ordered the seafood omelet and her order had the same problem, dried out and didn't taste well. We couldn't finish them and threw them away. We had also ordered a Belgian waffle to share and luckily, it tasted ok and the maple syrup was good. So disappointed. Our server was Cameron. Our sad little breakfast cost us $60. We will not be going back.

    Having the #6 - $13.99 and Black coffee - $3.79! For that price it had better be Really Great Coffee Corned beef hash. I'm ordering it stacked with over easy eggs crispy corned beef and crispy hash browns and sour dough toast. We'll see what we get,,, Stephanie did a great job and I always like sitting at the counter of a cafe atmosphere restaurant. I had to chuckle when it came upside down but the flavors are great and that's what really matters isn't it?! All in all, worth the money! But the coffee leaves a lot to be desired in the flavor department costing them a full star and a thumb. Since we all know coffee is an important indicator and essential to a breakfast place's reputation.

    Hubby and I really liked the St. John's location but this location is closer to home so we decided to check it out. It was a busy Friday morning, we did have to wait about 20 minutes for a table. The hostess and other staff were super friendly. Our server was attentive and helpful. I ordered a bacon, egg (over medium) and cheese croissant with hash browns as my side. Hubby ordered the Grumpy's country breakfast with scrabbled eggs, sausage, French toast and added a side of hash browns. I loved my breakfast sandwich! The over medium egg was cooked perfectly as was the thick cut bacon. The croissant was buttery and lightly toasted inside. The hash browns were phenomenal! Salty and crispy. Hubby's country breakfast was yummy, too. The sausage, French toast, maple syrup combo was delish. Grumpy's never disappoints but this location was even better than expected. We will definitely be back very soon!

    This is one pancake- I added blueberries-huge

    We tried this spot today for brunch. The wait was about 10 minutes when we arrived which wasn't bad. They call your name on a speaker system once you check in and when your table is ready and man is it loud. Too loud honestly. They have inside and outside seating and we waited for an inside table. Our server, Stephanie, was really great! Happy to answer questions, upbeat and very sweet. She honestly was the highlight of our meal. The pros and cons were as follows: Cinnamon roll was 9/10- we shared that to start but it is sweet so be prepared. I had one pancake and added blueberries and it was HUGE- I couldn't eat 1/3 of it, but a bit too dense for me 6/10 Cheese grits were not warm enough 3/10 Shredded hash browns again not warm enough 5/10 A mimosa and a poinsettia were OK but very weak with champagne 4/10. I left over half of the second one which is not normal for me. Hubby had the breakfast platter. His opinion was eggs were scrambled but overcooked 4/10, pancakes way too dense 6/10, breakfast potatoes were good but not warm enough 6/10, bacon was good 9/10, he ate the meat that came with mine and chose the sausage link 5/10. They offer brunch and lunch every day. The menu offers many different options. I just wished the food was better. They give you huge portions but we like better tasting food as opposed to large portions.

    Grumpy's was worth the wait! My favorite breakfast item was the Madd Breakfast Wrap which was delicious with some hot sauce and ketchup. You can't go wrong with getting their hash browns on the side, or ordering the classic style breakfasts. It was a pretty big restaurant and is always packed whenever we go. It's perfect for a brunch moment after church or on the weekend. Definitely recommend!!

    Thanksgiving Day 2025 meal was made awesome with the help of Metro Diner! They advertised on…read moreFacebook for Holiday carryout meals and we wanted to try something different this year (it was Publix last year). Having read that Metro Diner specialized in the comfort meal American food area, I felt that would be the choice for a great Thanksgiving dinner - at least a lot of potential. This review basically focuses on the carryout process and dinner prep and eating. It was easy to sign up for the dinner of my choice. I chose the 4-person meal package. There were options for larger groups, or for single as well. You get to make some picks on certain items. I chose to have the classic turkey dinner that included stuffing, white mashed potatoes, and green beans. Mexican corn was attractive, but I don't live in San Diego anymore! LOL. Of course, when you're from Detroit, you better have some cranberry sauce too! The meal was basic and certainly I could have picked up other things in area grocery markets if I had chosen to. My time for pickup was 11 am Thanksgiving Day. I got there 10 minutes early and it was PACKED with people dining in when I got there. It was very impressive. ALL the servers were intensely on the move but for all the busyness, the employees, customers at the tables and those waiting seemed pretty happy for the most part. After a few minutes inside, I let them know my name and order and thought the wait would take a while due to the crowd size. It didn't! It was totally on time! Kudos to Metro Diner for expertly handling such an astoundingly heaving number of customers on this day! When you get the carryout Thanksgiving meal, it's prepped for you in aluminum containers. You receive instructions on how to cook them and how long with the package. We were eating after around an hour and a half after baking and it was pretty much what I was hoping for! They gave lots of turkey! I think they brined it up pretty well - it was delicious! The potatoes, stuffing and green beans were awesome as well. I would say the gravy was overly salty, but other than that, I look forward to doing this again sometime. I do plan to go back and get an inside the eatery experience after the Holiday Season. But for now, I have much gratitude to Metro Diner for giving us a GREAT Thanksgiving Day dinner for 2025! Recommend: VERY HIGH

The room hums with easy conversation, the kind that makes you relax before the coffee even hits the table. I went sweet with the Crescent City French Toast.

It was unapologetically indulgent and did exactly what brunch should do, it made the morning feel like a small celebration. My wife went savory with the fish and eggs. A simple whitefish fillet, seasoned and grilled on the flat top, paired with fluffy scrambled eggs and a side of baked apples. The fish was spot on, clean, tender, and quietly confident in a way diner fish rarely is. Places like this earn regulars the slow way, by being steady. Good food, warm service, and no pretense, just breakfast done right. 4 out of 5 A dependable neighborhood diner that makes mornings better.
