People were coming out quickly but no one was ever taken in. 45 minutes later our table was called only to find the table hadn't been cleaned or set. Enter server, who had never seen a smile before apparently. We got drinks taken but needed time to decide. That was the last time we saw her until I asked another server to finally order. We did order but the food was not good at all; swimming in grease. Getting a drink refill was near impossible with yet another different server having to do that. After the meal a fourth person had to bring boxes and a to go bag. Our original server, who did nothing, finally brought the check. I understand weekends are busy, however, there was ZERO interest in us or our patronage. Couple it with the blessing out the cook was getting from a "manager" in the kitchen I'll be giving this place a hard pass for a while. It definitely did not live up to my previous experience. As for ambiance I can honestly say there was none. If you want alcohol for breakfast it might be the right spot because all the service happened at the bar.

The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming--truly a "come as you are" kind of place, which made us feel comfortable right away. The menu is impressively extensive, with something for just about any craving. We ordered breakfast, and everything was spot on--eggs cooked to perfection, food served hot, and my hash browns were exactly how I like them: perfectly crispy! The coffee was hot and kept coming, which is always a big win. A special shoutout to our waitress, Cassy--she was an absolute delight. Friendly, attentive, quick, and efficient, all while making sure we never felt rushed. She really made the experience even better. The pricing is great, and there are plenty of specials to choose from. If you haven't checked them out yet, I highly recommend it--you'll be very pleasantly surprised

Don't judge the place by its exterior. Walked in and is a very relaxed, roomy restaurant with table like many of us eat at in yesteryear at home. Country table I think they call it. Big black board on wall with specials. Very detailed menu also. Cell service is not existent inside but I did see and use the guest WiFi. Several ladies serving or taking orders so service was great. Menu is pretty extensive but I finally settled on the Reuben and went with the soup as a side. The Reuben was delicious. Not overloaded like some try to do it but also not lacking. Delicious!. Now I know soup when it is 80 outside but she sold it well. She also did not oversell it as it was as good as she said. Loaded potato with bacon and cheese and broccoli. Wow. Cleaned it all up and washed it down with some truly awesome sweet tea.

The staff checked on us often with that perfect balance of no-nonsense efficiency and friendly Southern hospitality. You can tell this place runs on routine, experience, and pride in the food.

They're normally pretty crowded, especially during brunch hours, but don't let that scare you away. Even when there's a wait, they usually move people through pretty quickly. The staff has always been friendly and the atmosphere is busy but welcoming. One of the best things about Grumpy's is the amount of food you get for the price. The portions are HUGE and the prices are still reasonable. This is one of those places where you can come a little short on cash and still leave with a very full belly! Good food, big portions, friendly service, and consistency across locations. Grumpy's is easily one of my go-to brunch spots and somewhere I recommend all the time.

I think that is a testament to how good and how popular they are. Everyone was very genuinely nice offering great service. Our meals were cooked to order and were served hot and fresh and in just the right amount of time. They had daily specials to choose from or order right off the menu. Orange juice served in mason jar mugs. They are happy to customize any dish for you. We ordered the country fried steak and gravy with home fries and scrambled eggs with cheese. Also served with a biscuit. They offer assorted jellies etc. We also ordered a build your own omelette with home fries and an English muffin. Portion sizes were perfect. The home fries were done right and very flavorful. Eggs and omelette were cooked to perfection. The gravy for the steak was not your average bland gravy. It was perfect sausage gravy and very thick and flavorful. They have a variety of hot sauces available for the eggs. Hardest part was deciding what to order because everything sounded and looked so good. Grumpy's is a small casual place. Feels like your favorite small diner. Not loud despite being busy and a full house. They have benches and outdoor games to play while you wait to be seated. They close at 2pm and they do offer lunch entrees if you don't want breakfast. We thought it was fantastic and will be visiting their other locations around Jax as well. Highly recommended!!!

The exterior is clean and simple. When you walk in, it's clean, simple, and a bit Chip and Joanna-esque, which I love. I was quickly greeted and told I could sit anywhere. I was given a menu and their drink menu. After being off coffee for a week, I saw that they make their own coffee syrups, so I got an iced decaf almond milk latte with their salted caramel syrup. While I waited, I looked over the menu. I really wanted to try the french toast or the waffle, but opted for the bacon, egg, and cheese on a croissant and cup of their cheese grits. The latte came out quickly and tasted exquisite. Sometimes you get decaf and it tastes watery, but not this latte. My friend ordered a salad with grilled chicken on top. Everythign came out quickly. The first thing I noticed were the cheese grits. They were delicious. Rich, creamy, and flavorful. Get them. The bacon egg and cheese on a croissant was also really good. They sell coffee at their shop to bring home.

It was just after noon on a Friday when we arrived and there was a 10-minute wait for a table. Upon being seated, we were presented the menu. We both considered ordering the Reuben Sandwich but I opted instead for the Club Sandwich on Ciabatta (as recommended by our server) and a side of Seafood Chowder. We both just ordered water with a slice of lemon to drink. Our server eventually came back with my wife's Reuben sandwich served with a bag of chips and she also had my cup of chowder, commenting how the club sandwich will be served shortly. My wife liked her Reuben, with tender meat and sharp sauerkraut. She also liked how the rye bread held up to the strong flavors. My chowder was equally good but it wasn't served with crackers. We waited a while for our server to return so I could ask for some crackers but she went ghost on us. Finally, more than 10 minutes after my wife was served her sandwich, a gentleman, who we can only assume was the manager, came over to ask if I've been served my club sandwich. Of course I pointed to a clean table to indicate no sighting of my sandwich and I also asked for some crackers. A few minutes later, the same man came back with some crackers and apologized for a mix up in the back. That's when I told them to forget the club sandwich so we can be on our way. To the manager's credit, he had the club sandwich boxed up and gave it to me free of charge. He was very apologetic. I was still a bit miffed and thought about leaving the sandwich there but my wife convinced me otherwise. Needless to say, service wasn't at the forefront during that dining experience. Despite the service mix up, however, I was still inclined to give this place 4 stars for the taste and quality of the food. The staff can have some inconsistencies and I tend to believe that's not the norm for this establishment which has earned high marks on Yelp.
