It's unfortunate that every once in a while, a customer comes in determined to complain about everything. During my visit, the staff was friendly, patient, and genuinely trying to provide great service, yet this individual was rude, disrespectful, and seemed impossible to satisfy. No matter how kind or accommodating the employees were, nothing appeared to be good enough. The staff handled the situation professionally and with much more patience than many people would have. It's a reminder that while most customers are appreciative, there are a few who seem intent on spreading negativity. Thankfully, one difficult person doesn't reflect the quality of the restaurant or the dedication of the people who work there. read more

I consider this a great local place with good food and excellent family like service.

Sometimes you just want a good sit down type of breakfast! So I ended up at Grandma's Restaurant! Got the corned beef hash & eggs. Asked for the hash browns to be extra crispy. The portion was good enough for me to make it two meals, since I usually don't splurge too much on breakfast. Definitely would come back to try the other items on the menu! Service was great! read more

We went here for the first time and order huevos rancheros, we didn't like it. The sauce was one note and potatoes were burnt and greasy. Sorry we are not so picky but the food was ok. read more

Stopped in here for a late breakfast around 2pm. They close at 3pm. Everyone ordered something and for me, I could not make up my mind between the Fish & Chips, and the Eggs Benedict. I came for breakfast but I remember their fish was pretty good from the last visit. So I got both! I love that they offer "half portions", so I got a 1 piece Fish & Chips, and a half order of Eggs Benedict (1 egg with house potatoes). Everything was excellent. For the five of us, the total came to $109, which is outstanding considering we ordered six entrees. Prices are great for what you get. Service was nice too. Can't be it. read more

Came in for pie and coffee because most non-corporate restaurants offer pie...unfortunately, there were only two fruit options...and neither were good. (and no ice cream to help with the dryness). The coffee wasn't great either, quite bitter. We sat outside, which was very nice...but only because the inside smelled like sewer. Our waitress was nice, but it felt fake. IYKYK... read more

Pros: Foodserver is very nice, funny, happy, works HARD and takes an accurate order. Food is aesthetically pleasing. Bathroom was clean. Cook makes food EXACTLY how ordered. Cons: Steak was COMPLETELY inedible. Usually I am cursed with the gristlely steak. This was my boyfriend's turn. I have NEVER seen him have to spit bites out into his napkin before. He could not find one edible bite, sadly. (Steak and eggs.) My pancake sandwich had no flavor. Pancakes were blah. I didn't even take the leftover home. And I generally LOVE pancakes. We were never checked on, (server was working alone and busy, so I understand.) Indifferent: We didn't notice anything scream 'Grandma'. Unclear of the name. Seems to have a good patronage. Especially from Veterans visiting the VA. Ammends: When Server brought the bill, he inquired about the meals. I politely mentioned the inedible steak. He kindly removed $10 off the bill. With all of the MANY restaurant options in the area, sadly, we made the wrong choice of where to spend our money. No reason to return. read more

We kind of just stumbled on this place while looking for a new breakfast place and I am glad we did. It's reasonably priced, food is good, and staff have always been super friendly. I like that it has indoor and outdoor seating. read more

I have been coming here since I was a kid. My mom and nana would always get the open face sandwich. That was quite some time ago, but even though they have changed locations the quality of food is still top tier. Great home cooking. I like to come here when I am missing my nana and want a bit of nostalgia. Service has always been great and staff is always friendly. Cute place to take your family for a nice meal. read more

My husband and I stopped in here for breakfast while visiting the area. It is a small little place that has indoor and outdoor seating. We got greeted right when we walked in. Our server was super friendly. It has a small town friendly feeling to it. We ordered the spinach surprise omelette and the vegetarian omelette. Our omelettes came with potatoes and toast. They let me substitute a pancake for my toast. There was a lot of food and the prices were very reasonable. All of the food came out hot and fresh and very tasty. We will be back next time we are in the area! Thanks for a great breakfast! read more

The service was good. The food unfortunately was not. The cod was so tough, it couldn't be eaten.

Great food amazing service. Very kid friendly and make cool versions of the food to peak their interest. Potatos are fresh not frozen bulk stuff from Sysco or US Foods. And the coffee can be drank black because it actually has flavor and isn't super acidic. read more

The bacon cheeseburger w/onion rings were really good. The restaurant has been there for 45 years! My dining partners had the breaded tenderloin. They loved it and they are from the Midwest, where the tenderloin was born. The service is very kind and attentive. The inside is old diner style. We will be back. read more

Good food, great customer service. Ashley was our server and she gave great variety of recommendations. I had the kelbasa omelet , delicious. Mom had the waffle plate, also good. Hubby had steak and eggs. He approved. Child had chicken stripe and steak fries. Also good. read more

Food was decent but $26 for 1 persons breakfast is wildly out of control. Haven't been back. I have been choosing a to buy a breakfast burrito from another establishment on ocean ranch Dr. I love breakfast and would love it if their prices were reasonable but I got . Mind you I ordered regular breakfast. Eggs, bacon potatoes, and toast read more

Very good breakfast experience with tasty waffle, eggs and bacon. Perfect to get the day going.

Great breakfast and friendly service! I really liked the vegetarian omelette. Loaded with lots of veggies and cheese. The home fries are very good. My kids got the teddy bear pancakes with egg and bacon. Their sausage links are great. They kept our coffee full. We'll be back, thanks! read more

This place is a hidden gem! I only found them when I visited one of the establishments next door. I tried their veggie omelette, which was delicious. My husband had the Chinese chicken salad and he devoured it. Service was quick. Place was pretty busy when we went. All in all, I would say this is a pretty solid spot for breakfast or lunch. read more

Food was good. Service was really good. The reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because they didn't have one option for vegans. Not one thing without eggs or cheese. Oh wait.... Oatmeal. No one goes out to eat oatmeal. ‍ read more

The food was good but nothing special. I had a burger that was cooked well but lacked flavor, and my mother had pork chops that were tasty but a bit overdone and tough. We arrived around 1:30, and the restaurant was nearly empty. Unfortunately, the staff's conversations were quite loud, which made it difficult to enjoy the atmosphere. While it wasn't the most pleasant dining experience for us, I might consider giving it another try in the future if some improvements are made. read more

Hit this place on a Sunday morning. Servers are on top of things, good service and ready with more coffee at all times. I ordered biscuits and sausage gravy with sunny side up eggs. Food came out in a timely manner. My only gripe is the sausage gravy was lacking on the bits of sausage and wasn't big on that aspect of flavor. I sat up at the counter and was happy to see they were broadcasting soccer on a tv. I liked this place, a wide variety of patrons and a nice positive vibe. read more

We had the best lunch today! We came to this restaurant for the pork tenderloin sandwich (Midwest specialty) and my SO said it was the best version he had locally (he was born and raised a Midwestern). Only diff, according to him, was instead of using a special machine to flatten it into a large circle, it was butterfly cut into more of an oblong. But the thickness and taste were spot on. I had the garlic burger and house made chips. This burger was borderline gourmet. Whoever is cooking absolutely knows his stuff. Perfect burger to bun ratio. The chips were fresh and crunchy. Had to add a little salt but not an issue really. And all the food was very fresh, from the entrees and sides to the condiments. The service was super friendly and prompt, we chatted about the pork tenderloin sandwich a bit. A bit of a drive for us but we'll worth it! read more

Wanted to love this place as it's close to me and I'm a huge breakfast person. Sadly, I left disappointed with the food not meeting high standards despite a high price. My omelet was good but not much bacon despite substituting sausage for more /and at 18.95. Friend chose biscuits and gravy and said it tasted " doughy". It wasn't good. The service was fine, there was outdoor and indoor options, but for the price it just left us unimpressed sorry to say. 25$ plus tip for omelet and cup of regular coffee If an ocean view instead of a parking lot, I might justify some of this but I think menu was too much, too confusing, and nothing that really stood out being special. I'd prefer a couple choices that were really delicious than lots of mediocre. read more

Sold!! We used to go to the breakfast club every now-and-then, until the owner closed shop and moved to Arizona, and since then, we have been looking for a place that offered that home-cooked feel and taste. I had heard and seen of grandma's restaurant, since we also go to Felix's and Big Bob's pizza so it was time to give Grandma's a try with hope this establishment will be our new breakfast and maybe lunch spot when we don't feel like cooking. What a gem!! With all that said, we have officially made this spot our go-to definitely for breakfast. The prices are reasonable, the staff were attentive and friendly, and breakfast for the 4 of us who came was delicious. One can really feel at home here without the over-priced meals and fancy decor. read more

My family and I stopped here on our way to the beach and we all loved it! Upon arriving we were able to get right in and be seated at 2 booths in the back (great for our large party). And we were greeted right away with our drink orders. I ordered the French toast, and my son got the kids pancakes. His pancakes were in the shape of a face (sooo cute!). The food was hot and had good flavor to it. The coffee was also fresh and tasted good. The woman who was in charge of our drinks was on top of it! She was constantly walking around making sure we were taken care of. The staff was super accommodating and polite. It's a good spot to check out if you're in the area! read more
