I got some mozzarella sticks to go from here. Everyone was friendly and there were some funny signs on the wall. It's definitely a casual, laid back spot. The mozzarella sticks were great. read more

Grumps Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

Their restaurant is quaint and almost hidden. The food was ok but the Bloody Mary really brought the whole meal down for me.

My husband and I have been to the Grumps location in Crofton several times and have always been pleased. So, when we were in the Annapolis area and wanted to go to breakfast, we figured we would try their Annapolis location. We arrived just as they opened and we were treated immediately. The hostess gave us menus and explained we would be ordering at the register and then the food would be brought to us. This was something we were already aware of since they do the same in Crofton. My husband ordered the biscuits and gravy and I ordered the banana chocolate chip pancakes. Both of us found our food to be good. The coffee is also very good! My main feedback is that the restaurant became very loud very quickly. I don't know if it's just because of the layout and shape of the restaurant, but we found it very difficult to have a conversation despite the restaurant not even being very crowded. It made the meal a little less enjoyable. Again, the food and service was absolutely fine. However, if you're looking for a place to be able to enjoy a slightly more quiet environment and actually be able to hear the person you're with, you might want to go somewhere else. read more

I almost don't want to leave a review because I don't want to ruin the neighborhood/locals vibe. We just happened to stumble across it as it is out of the mainstream travel area. You order and pay at the front of the cafe and then they bring your food to your table. Your drinks are self service, which I personally like because I don't have to ration my drink until a server comes around. The food was hot, fresh, and tasty. Our server was friendly with everyone who walked through the door and was right there to make sure we had everything we needed. Not the annoying type of being there watching you eat but the walk by and check on you type. The prices were excellent. It appears that they have $5.00 breakfast and lunch specials every day. Oh my goodness, the desserts appear to be amazing. We had beignets which were delicious. They had several more desserts and milkshakes that we want to try. So even though we are about an hour away, we will be back at least 5 more times. We are looking forward to eating something different each visit. I especially am looking forward to trying the jumbo lump crab cakes. read more

Grumps Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

This fun quirky restaurant is just my style. I was staying at a nearby cabin for the weekend, and the owners recommended it Perfect for breakfast with a warm and friendly staff. I highly recommend the pancakes they even offer smaller sized portions of everything! It is important to know that this is a counter seating restaurant (no table service). The unique seating and ordering system may throw off some people, but I actually really enjoyed it. Coffee is help yourself so you can pick your own mug and your own flavor of coffee. Impressed me most was the friendliness and efficiency of the staff. When the couple behind me left the restaurant, it took less than 30 seconds for the crew to clear their table and clean it for the next patron. This is definitely my new local favorite read more

A friend and I stopped by Grump's on the recommendation of a local antique vendor. Excellent call! We were seated right away in a booth, and were instructed to order at the register. I ordered the Philly Cheesesteak Omelet and my friend got the Banana Grumpster (banana French toast). I heard my friend moaning over her food and had to get a bite. I don't know what they put in the sauce but it is so good-like tasting your lover's kiss as you drive away. Not gonna lie, that dish is one for the books! Don't miss a trip to Grump's! read more

This is a cute place, order at the counter for dine in and take out. We had some breakfast wraps and the beignets. All was very good. Staff were friendly and helpful. I'm excited to know this is here! read more

Breakfast is great. Love the pancakes, eggs, sausage, and potatoes. For dinner, the crab soup was pretty good- could use more Old Bay. The crab cake was not good., the crab meat was pink and had a sour taste. read more

Would not have written this review but had to drive to restaurant to get refund for substandard take out. Ordered steak medium rare and was overcooked and over peppered. Chicken fingers took two napkins each to get out the grease. "Manager" said could not give refund over phone and I would have to email the owner who was sleeping. Owners should empower employees to take care of customers. read more

Excellent burger, we ordered the "All Jacked Up" burger and it was one of the best we've ever tasted. It was 2 pm and we just wanted a snack so my husband and I shared and the split it up in 2 plates for us. The coleslaw was fresh and crisp tasting, a must try if you're a fan. It was quite packed for mid afternoon so that says much about the restaurant. Love the 80s/90s vibe! read more

Easily the most delightful eating experience in Annapolis, MD. You walk in and get a menu and a toy. What could be better than that? All the tables talk to each other. The place is joyful and the food terrific! I will return again and again. read more

Delicious breakfast options - I went traditional and had Eggs Benedict with potatoes and a side of grits. We sat outside after ordering inside and paying. Service was fast and nice - sitting outside was preferable to the inside with lots of people crowding to order and pay near seated people, but sitting right next to parked cars was not a great view. Still, I'd go back in a heartbeat!! read more

My order is always prepared inconsistenly. I received a signature omelet (Chelsea) with ONE chip of bacon...I didn't receive my spreads for my bread. The Crofton location is much better. read more

This was a cute little diner type place near Quiet Waters Park. After a morning of kayaking we came here and enjoyed a breakfast outside. Orange crushes and coffee for drinks and benefit ya and omelettes for breakfast were all delicious. You order your food at a cashier and then give them your table number and they bring the food to you. The tables all have their own toy with a number on them. Wry cute idea for table numbers. read more

I usually go to Grump's in Crofton, which is always good. Annapolis Grump's has been going down in quality for a while. Today they broke my back. I ordered a cheddar bacon cheeseburger well done with onion rings to go. Got home cut the burger in half and it was bleeding. I forgave the over cook onion rings but a bleeding burger is not good. Some of the wait staff looks like they just rolled out of bed, one was smacking chewing gum. When I called to complain, they act like I should not have and be happy with what they gave me. They act like I was attempting to scam them. Took the bleeding burger and over cook onion rings back, no apologies and the attitude was how dare you return bad food. Health Department will be getting my complaint along with pictures of the bleeding burger. If you want Grump's food go to Crofton. read more

This is my favorite spot in Annapolis. The breakfast is very good with very fair prices. The staff is always very friendly and get you seated pretty quick.

Grumps Cafe - Sabrosos Omelet and a pancake on the side - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

Food was good; coffee really good. Had the Huevos Rancheros with chorizo, biscuits and gravy and western omelette, crispy potatoes side. Huevos rancheros sauce was not what I was used to, chunkier and sweeter. Service was friendly. You order at the counter and get your own drinks, so not much interaction other than seating, ordering and picking up plates. Fun decor from the table numbers on toys to the random signage. The main negative is that the front door opens directly into the restaurant, so if you're sitting at a front table, you get a blast of cold air, if you go in winter, every time it opens, which is frequently. Would come again though, probably request a table further back :) read more

My buffalo chicken sandwich had almost no chicken in it. Very disappointed! Staff/environment were solid!

Horrible! Everything we ordered was bad. The Onion rings were burnt breading with no onion. The crab soup was tasteless mush. The corn beef was so dry you couldn't eat it. read more

The food here is amazing! It's like a local diner that serves pretty much anything and everything for breakfast lunch and dinner. The staff is amazingly helpful and do an amazing job of explaining you the ordering process. The funny signage on the walls and interesting decorations add to the amazing ambience.

Grumps Cafe - Omelette with a side of bacon and toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

Fun atmosphere. Poor quality food. Not worth it. I went here for bfast. Eggs barely cooked. Pancakes as dry as can be and bacon was served full of grease and had more fat than youbwould find by buying the cheapest Walmart bacon. Bacon is suppose to be fatty. But Grumps bacon was 90% fat if thats even believable. Waste of time and money. read more

Went in for breakfast first time today. Unusual way of ordering (assigned tables and order at register). Got eggs, bacon and potatoes. Potatoes were dark brown and cold. Definitely not going back. Extremely disappointed. Plus the waitress and staff wear pajama pants? Doesn't give you the feeling of cleanliness and professionalism. I understand it's small diner feel but really?

Good spot for brunch. Decent food, friendly service, and they have outdoor dining under a big tent (very grateful for that). The food was average for brunch food- not amazing but not bad either. Decent portion size too. My breakfast platter with a big orange crush was only $12. The staff was all dressed up in Halloween costumes which was fun and they were all very kind. They even wiped down my credit card before and after swiping it. I appreciate the covid precautions they're taking! It was pouring rain so it was really nice to get tent coverage from the wind and rain and still be able to eat outside. The only complaint I have is that the woman who brought our drinks couldn't remember which hand held the mimosa and which one held the orange crush so she was like "uhh I think this is yours" (the two drinks looked identical). My roommate and I each sipped ours and then realized we needed to switch drinks. Ideally during a covid situation, we wouldnt have to taste and swap drinks. Overall, good experience. I'll be back for more brunch! read more

Grump's cafe is a bacon lovers idea of heaven. Every normal breakfast item you could expect has a bacon-infused version. Food: if you're a bacon lover, you'll love the food here. They have a mimosa milkshake, unique twist on a classic. Definitely recommend Atmosphere: very quirky colorful design. The layout is different than most where you pay at the back of the store and order from there first and then you were seated with your party. Two out of the four members of our group had messed up orders but they were fixed after trip back it up to the cashier. read more

Grumps is a fantastic spot to grab breakfast lunch or dinner! Super busy on Saturday and Sunday mornings! I highly recommend you check out the whole menu as there are omelettes, sandwiches, waffles, and more! I usually get something different every time. The inside is really funky and fun with all kinds of decorations all over! I came in yesterday morning and got a pumpkin spiced waffle. It was so good! I also swapped my side of meat for a side of potatoes which I am sooo obsessed with. Definitely worth a visit! read more

Great place in the Hillsmere area next to Quiet Waters Park. We are fortunate to have this in the area. I recommend it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. My cousin who drove here from Boston stopped in here randomly to get something to eat while waiting for us to come home and she said it was one of "the best burgers she ever had". Thanks Grumps! Did I mention they have a full liquor license? :) read more

I had such high hopes for this small hole-in-the-wall restaurant, but it thoroughly disappointed. We ordered the chicken fried steak and eggs with grits and the Edgewood Benedict with crispy potatoes and a side of biegnets. The chicken fried steak was a pre-made frozen patty covered in what tasted like canned gravy served lukewarm - not good at all. The grits were salty and nasty, they tasted like they were made with last nights dishwater. The Benedict had a spoonful of mushy (NOT crispy as advertised) canned corned beef hash on each of the warm English muffins topped with an undercooked poached egg and a drizzle of canned hollandaise sauce. The potatoes were decent, but how do you mess up frozen potato cubes when you drop them in hot oil. The beignets... if you want a fried yeasty pastry covered in powdered sugar, this is your treat, BUT they are NOT beignets. They are more like cut up chunks of pillsbury flakey biscuits deep fried. Good, but not the Cafe Du Monde experience- at all. Service was ok, the ordering experience is interesting. You order at the counter and they give you a number that a pajama clad hostess assigns to a table with a dirty rubber dinosaur. You pre-pay (and pre-tip) and hope your service reflects the quality you tip for.... Overall I would not recommend and won't be going back. read more
