    Today our group met at the infamous Grumpy's. Sometimes I order... sometimes I don't. Today I thought -- let's get something delicious. I went with the avocado toast with a poached egg -- and I truly wasn't sure what to expect. What I didn't expect? This ginormous feast. Look at all that avocado -- not the tiny smear so many places give you. Fresh sprouts? Yes please. Poached egg? I'll probably skip that next time, but still beautifully done. And a full bowl of fruit on the side. The service was outstanding -- and with about 12 of us in the group, that's no small feat. I didn't catch the server's name since someone else generously covered our meal (thank you, mysterious breakfast hero ), but everything was absolutely perfect from start to finish. As someone with celiac -- aka gluten-free required -- it's always a win to find a place where I can go out and eat like a queen.

    I came here for breakfast after watching the sunrise, so around 7am. It's close to town center and the beach so that's a plus! Walking in that early, it was fairly empty and i sat by the bar. I was greeted immediately and was brought out my drinks (water & coffee). I ordered corned beef hash with scrambled eggs and Swiss cheese, hash browns, and a biscuit. It came out fairly quickly which was nice. The servers were also super nice and attentive. And as a bonus, I think this place originated in Jax so you're going somewhere local technically. Definitely a must!!

    We were in the area to run some errands this morning and decided to have breakfast here. The restaurant was pretty full inside but we were able to get a table fairly quickly. They have indoor, outdoor, and counter seating. The menu is big and offers both breakfast and lunch options. I had the vegetable and cheese omelete with hash browns and rye toast. The serving was very generous and tasted great. My sister made her own omelette and chose sausage, mushrooms and cheese. She also loved her meal. Service was good from our server, Jeremy. They also serve drinks and had an adorable drink cart decorated in red, white and blue colors.

    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.

    Tusi place is amazing. The food is great and the service is everything. The ambiance is family friendly. This is my must go to place in Jacksonville

    The food and service was amazing. It also really cute inside. We didn't have to wait long to be seated. Peach mimosas was my favorite.

    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.

    Grumpy's Country Breakfast

    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.

Also got pancakes & bacons, vegan mexicali wrap and size of haus fried (potatoes cubes). Portion size was huge, we could only finish half the food. Everything was delicious & if you get the vegan mexicali wrap, 100% would recommend trying with the hot sauce with it. Food and staff were great, but I am not sure if it was worth 20-30 mins wait and the hassle of parking. Would definitely go back but will not be a regular place for us!

We went on a Friday night and it was quite busy. We lucked out finding a good parking spot; but had a 20 minute wait. We had anticipated this and went to the bar; only to find it was equally busy! We had to put in some effort to get a spot at the bar and order drinks. The prices seemed very reasonable: a Corona Light was just $3.75, a TacoLu Margarita was only $9, and an Aperol Skinny was $10. After about 15 minutes our table was ready and we were seated on the patio. It was cute and festive as well. Our server, Avery, came over immediately and brought us some fresh chips and salsa.....yum! We all decided on tacos à la carte which were all around $4 or $5. There were a few more pricier options and there were so many different choices made with chicken, beef, pork, seafoods and there were even vegan options. My daughter and I both had one carne asada and one Deb's Verde, (chicken with a light verde sauce.). Both were small flour tacos but both varieties were piled high with meat. I liked both of them very much. My husband had one carnitas taco, one Baja Fish taco, and one Taco Rosa. He said the carnitas one was good, the Taco Rosa, which was ahi tuna, was unique, and the Baja Fish, which was fried fish, was awesome. Overall our service was really good and everyone really enjoyed their meals. The prices were very favorable so we'll probably visit again the next time we're in Jacksonville Beach.

If you're in the mood for comfort food, the biscuits and gravy are phenomenal, some of the best I've had. But they also nail all the classics , French toast, bacon, eggs, you name it. I do have to be honest as a coffee lover, the coffee was a letdown for me. Neither the hot brewed nor the cold brew impressed, so if you're picky about your coffee you may want to manage expectations there. Stick to that fresh OJ though and you won't be sad about it! One major bonus, the restaurant is really big with a lot of seating,and we went on weekdays without ever waiting for a table. In a breakfast spot, that's a big deal. Overall a really solid, reliable breakfast spot. We'll be back next time we're in Jacksonville.
