Grumpy's absolutely delivered. I had the fried chicken Benedict with pancakes on the side, and whew... you're gonna need to be rolled out of there when you're done. The fried chicken was crispy, the Benedict was packed with flavor, and the pancakes were the size of hubcaps. The hash browns were excellent too. Service was friendly and fast, and the atmosphere had that classic hometown breakfast spot feel where everyone seems happy to be there. Great food, huge portions, and prices that won't make you grumpy. We'll definitely be back. read more

Grumpy's Restaurant chain is a RECOGNIZABLE Jacksonville breakfast-to-lunch spot. I am easily starting to notice that each location is different. This time I was in St. Johns off of 210. This location has the Grumpy's name but does not have the Grumpy's taste and it RUINED my mother-daughter outing. Walking into the restaurant it has that welcome back feeling of being inside in a Grumpy's spot. The decor is modern farmhouse. The lollipop bouquet is the cutest and WARMEST invite into this spot. As all Grumpy's, the menu is full of American classics. My daughter and I had a short-stack. I couldn't resist adding the Roasted Turkey plate. My drink choice was hot chocolate. I knew something was OFF when I received the hot chocolate..."where's the chocolate drizzle? why does it taste like it's water based?" The waiter let me know it's the waiters choice on how it is served. *INSERT EYE ROLL* When the meal came it was easy to see the Turkey plate was MISSING items and looked like it had been sitting (I mean sitting gravy has look of non-movement). The waiter tried to COMFORT me by saying it was under a warm plate but after I questioned where were the cranberries and stuffing...she then responded with an OH! The Kitchen manager offered to bring out a different dish. Now for the pancake, at FIRST BITE my daughter says "I taste the batter" *insert the disappointed DEEP SIGH* The owner asked if he could remake our meals. Truthfully, this was the THIRD complaint so it was a big NO THANK YOU! He then offered to comp the hot chocolate and one of the meals. I boxed the turkey dinner just to get home and it to have the taste of excessive old oil. :-( smh! Not only did it make for an UNENJOYABLE outing with my daughter. It also made my hype about Grumpy's being the best place for brunch a complete LIE. I give them 1-star for being Grumpy's and 1-star for attempting to RESOLVE. This location needs to get host training, hospitality reenforcement, and a kitchen with care because BAE-BEEEE it's a miss me wit'it For spot the difference in my added pictures Image 1 (before) and Image 2 (after): * Dinner roll added Image 2 * Cranberry sauce added Image 2 * Bread Stuffing side item added Image 2 * Mash Potato on plate Image 1 * Mash Potatoin bowl Image 2 * Plate looks fuller Image 2 read more

Wow! In at 10 am Sat and place was jamming. Located in well kept plaza with multitude of shops and covered sidewalk area you could walk around while you wait. On wait list for party of 2. They provided coffee while you wait and there's some seating outside restaurant while you're waiting. Wait was maybe 15-20 min not bad. Seated at table, clean and inside was modern and well kept. Greeted promptly by Kylie and drink orders takes and specials provided. Went with big boy breakfast- with hashbrowns as sub for one of the meats and it was a big portion of hashbrowns. Really like that. Service was excellent, as Kylie checked in on us frequently and refilled coffee timely. Wait for meal was quick and items were hot and correct no problems. The biscuit was also very good. Will be back read more

Delicious breakfast close to my friend's house who lives in Saint Augustine. When I looked up on Yelp grumpy came up as one of the top spots for breakfast and we were not disappointed. The choices were perfect, and everybody enjoyed their Dish. One of our friends got the western omelette, somebody else got the biscuits and gravy and my friend and I split the huge seafood omelette and it was brought on two plates already split for us. The food was delicious. read more

The whole family went for a pre- Fathers day breakfast since I have to work on Fathers day. It was a very mellowing experience. We all sat at the community table which seats 10 people. I arrived a 9:30 am since Grumpys does not accept reservations. The hostess accomodated us when the entire party was present. It was good conversation and we all had mixed reviews about the food. Chicken and waffles were the star! On the hand the cheese grits had weevils present. The grits were not a not a good look. Our server was ok. The surf and turf omelet was not a fan favorite either but edible. Nice atmosphere and kid friendly with coloring plates mates and crayon Also, while waiting, a mini coffee and water hole is there for the taking. Grumpys was one of the first breakfast spot alone on the Westside in Jacksonville. I like the Grumpys in St Johns county. There is also a location near the beach I have yet to try! Thanks, Grumpys for a pre- fathers day I will never forget! read more

We came here for breakfast during the week. It's been a minute since I've been here and was excited to have breakfast at Grumpy's again. When we arrived we were shown our table. We were able to score the large round table with the lazy Susan in the middle. Our server was super nice, friendly, and was quick to grab our drink orders. I wound up ordering a hot cocoa with whipped cream. Our drink orders came out quickly and my hot cocoa was piping hot. It hit the spot. Onto food orders. I decided to order a short stack of pancakes. BTW their pancakes are HUGE with a side of bacon. My pancakes came out hot and delicious. They were HUGE and you get two of them. I wound up being able to only eat about 1.5 of the pancakes. They were sweet and delicious. I'll be back! read more

Visited here on the recommendation of someone local, and we were very pleased we did! The style of the restaurant is like modern warehouse, and it's cute--maybe a bit loud. We were in the front and it was hard to hear the excellent music. There is also outside dining for when the weather is nice. Our server was MJ. She was very helpful in making our selection. She was efficient, and very attentive. I ordered the corned beef hash with home fried potatoes and everything was cooked just as I requested. My cranberry mimosa was excellent as well. Coffee was good and stayed full and hot. My husband had the ham steak with eggs and toast. The orange juice tasted like it was fresh-squeeze, full of delicious pulp. Both dishes were massive portions and we will be having Grumpy's again tomorrow! Excellent choice for breakfast. Lunch at other tables looked great, too. read more

I have been to this franchise prior for a breakfast a few times, always a great meal, great service and value. This time I had a lunch, first time. Ordered a Philly Steak w/fries and partner got a veg omelette. The omelette was ordered with no tomatoes in omelette but asked for fresh on side, server, Kyle I believe , wrote it down and confirmed, sign of a good server. When delivered it had tomatoes in and cooked, which he immediately noticed and offered another to be made, but due to fact how busy place was, decided to opt for some fresh on side be brought out. My Philly, mind you I was not expecting a huge sub like at a sub shop, but will say was a lil disappointed when it came out, on a roll not much larger than a standard size like of a hot dog roll, I will say was a lil disappointed"underwhelmed". It was a proper sub roll style, just a bit smaller than expected. When opened to add pepper, that's when was surprised to see, maybe 1-2oz of Philly steak inside, very little and way overcooked pepper/onion adding and a little cheese, barely. The side of fries, usually a decent amount, was like a child size, pics added. The flavor was good, just light on everything. The sub/fries was a $15 plate, and for that much I was expecting a much better portion than what was delivered, sadly, left there not really satisfied for what was paid for what was delivered. Have always had a great experience at all three of the Grumpy's I have been to, this just wasn't a great food experience. Place is very open, bright and welcoming as well as all workers very attentive and always smiling, that makes for a great dining experience. Only building issue I noticed, gotta get those AC vents cleaned/serviced. They are often overlooked by management but alls yah need to do, is look up to see... I won't stop going there as we enjoy the breakfast always, maybe have to try another lunch option. read more

We ate at Grumpy's Restaurant in St John's this morning. I was craving Crab Cake Eggs Benedict. Regretted after the first bite. The food was cold and the meal was truly horrible. For the price we paid, I would have expected better. No second chances for our family. read more

It was our first time in Grumpys...seems very popular and keep in mind there is a decent wait 30mins or so if you plan to go at least over the weekend. You will get coffee whilst you wait tho! Kam our server was great and food was pretty good. Coffee is nice and not on the strong side which I like personally. read more

Eva was an amazing waitress! The kitchen could follow instructions that she writes on the ticket like when you say well done hashbrowns, and they are still raw in the middle. There are not well done. Poor Eva went back to them twice about these hashbrowns and they were still raw in the middle. Yeah, avocado toast is mostly toast with very little avocado. I would recommend that you skip that. The food is generally really good. It's just that the kitchen needs to pay attention, especially when you have to wait as long as you do at this restaurant and pay as much as you do at this restaurant. read more

Despite us going during a busy time, their method for keeping guests queued was fairly put together! Keep in mind, their intercom only projects to the breezeway outside the front door, so if you're waiting inside, keep an eye on the hostess stand. With it being as cold as it sporadically has been, the outside seating was delightfully warmed to keep us comfortable throughout our experience; I almost took off my jacket even! We placed our orders for a split-plate style experience and our dishes were perfectly suited for this. However, it seems that the request for two Au Jus' was a bit of a curveball for them, as the plates arrived 5 minutes after the mains were delivered to the table. Drinks will help that, though, and the Cold Brew Cocktails were wonderful and not overly sweet with our request of light whipped cream (: Once everything came together, it was ready set go! This was my first visit to any Grumpy's location and boy was I sold! The vegetable medley was so surprisingly refreshing with the addition of cooked cabbage. As the spice hound that I am, the Fried Chicken Benedict was a light heat, but ever so pleasant. The green bean side sang to my southern heart with the addition of a savory bacon presence and note. If you're all about sauce, maybe request more of the Spicy Hollandaise, as that did seem to be on the lighter side. The French dip was an absolute winner for me though! The Au Jus was absolutely DRINKABLE; the perfect blend of bold and comforting for this sandwich. Wait staff was warm and present throughout and I have no complaints, as it seems there's one server per the entire porch-side. Overall 10/10 will visit again! read more

The place it's nice Spectacular great service very knowledgeable with their menu The reason I'm giving 2 stars is very simple 1- kitchen staff not wearing hair net / except for two ladies who's who's were wearing baseball cap is ok 2- one man in the kitchen was touching his ear and face and didn't bother to wash his hands and touching food - LACK OF HYGIENE- he saw me and I was looking at him, and I didn't say anything- I prefer to do it here in this app instead, he was also not wearing hair net. Owner needs to pay attention to detail to see every staff member are performing their duties properly including their higiene while working and handling food for customers! I'm sure the owner don't want to know if clients suffered a serious illness due to lack of higiene problem. This is my fourth time coming in here and I'll come back to see if corrections have been made! read more

Finally tried Grumpy's on a Sunday morning. Super busy and people lined up inside and outside even with the pouring rain. The wait wasn't too bad for two people. Got seated at their outside covered patio. Even with it busy, our server was attentive and checked in multiple times and refilled my coffee at least 3 times. I ordered Grumpy's big breakfast with pumpkin pancakes, scrambled eggs, sausage links and grits with cheese. It came with coffee. The pumpkin pancakes were delicious without all the stuff they topped it with. I don't like candy corn and didn't think it was necessary so I scraped it off. The eggs were decent and the grits were tasty. I added salt and pepper to both. Sausages were just ok, nothing special. Love the diner vibes and menu options. Will go again to try other items! read more

Only plan this place when you can spend a LOT of time here. I've tried for takeout multiple times and again I had to leave after 10 minite wait. No server had time to take the order and the host can not. Sometimes, the wait for a table is also extensive. When you can be served, the food is average for a diner. read more

Grumpy's Restaurant in St. Johns, FL is a solid breakfast spot . I ordered the fried chicken Benedict--flavorful overall, though the chicken was slightly bitter this time. The pancake, however, completely stole the show: fluffy, golden, and delicious! . The restaurant itself is clean, spacious, and bright, with high ceilings that make it feel comfortable and open. Friendly service and a strong breakfast menu make Grumpy's a go-to for brunch lovers . read more

Clean restaurant, decent food and great service. We sat outside as the indoor seating was pretty crowded. My fried green tomato Benedict was very good though the hollandaise was a wee bit broken. Still was delicious. My husband ordered a standard breakfast plate with over light eggs. It arrived with hard scrambled eggs but to the waitress' credit, she ordered an over light even though my husband said not to worry about it. Great service here. We will return if we're ever in the area again. read more

We came in a busy time, it's Sunday 11:18am, it is packed! Everyone looks like they are having a great time in this joint! The employees are on point, chefs are communicating with their servers the servers are communicating with their chefs! It's awesome to see! Now just waiting on food. Okay so I had a plate that had 2 over and easy egg's, 3 bacon slices, hash browns, 2 blueberry pancakes with condiments. I also had a mimosa ( freshly squeezed orange juice and champagne ) Everything was heaven!! My husband had the grumpy omelette with an extra side of bacon, and two biscuits with gravy ( gravy was white with meat sausages). This is a definite must try if you have not tried it!!! read more

Third time is a charm!! Went with the family for a late lunch Sunday after church. The kids had the kids chicken and waffles and chocolate chip pancakes... they loved every single bite of their food!! The adults ordered Philly cheesesteaks, liver and onions, country fried steak and everything was well seasoned, hot and tasty! As always their freshly squeezed orange juice was AMAZING! The owner came to our table and we had a great conversation about how he started up the business and how he supports his staff members and cares for them. He even asked the kids if they were on the nice or naughty list and told them he hoped they get everything they wished for. Definitely worth giving it an another shot! Forgot to take pictures of the food... next time :) read more

My favorite place because of the home fries. Came in and sat at a small booth at 9 o'clock on Tuesday and waited and waited and waited plenty of staff and a few customers. Finally got up, went to the counter and got served. Then they handed me the wrong order, and then the order I ordered took quite a bit of time for so few people today, bad day except for (Maddie? ) my server at the counter. I asked for 2 eggs but I got 3, no idea if I paid for it or not.? There's a lot of breakfast places to choose from, let's tighten it up over here! read more

Stopped in for a breakfast togo. Got a bacon eggs & cheese with avocado sandwich on wheat. With homefries... Server was great with getting my food order & brought to me!! Def dont believe I got wheat bread.... cheese wasn't even melted... bacon was great but think you'd get more then 2 pcs. The avocado tasted like bagged guacamole & the home fries. Well tasted like bland uncooked potoes. Ive seen amazing plates from this establishment so I was pretty disappointed when I opened my container. If I do come back definitely won't be for this meal or anything that has "avocado " read more

The food is amazing. I've tried many things on the menu and have loved it all. The service is great as well. Typically they have a long wait on the weekend but they usually get you in faster than the time they give. I give it 4 stars instead of 5 because of the price. It's a bit pricey for breakfast food. Look to spend at least $50 for a family of 4 with 2 kids eating off the kids menu. A few dollars less per item and we'd go a lot more often. read more

Have been to Grumpys 1st time was great October 2025 3 more times in February, March, A bunch of kids standing by counter,coughing, talking about what they did last night,couple male waiters coughing on ,food,talking, flirting with other employees, most talkative prob server named Madison,I sat at counter always,these employees are unbelievable how can owner allow over a dozen employees stand and talk in a group? Make salads with their hands no utensils, I could go on and on the Hostess at door long blonde hair ,only person that has a Smile,make her Manager of the daycare atmosphere, will be spreading the word ,will not be back,it's a shame ,apparently owner does not care? read more

I'm giving to stars because the waitress was wonderful. She got our orders and our food came out quickly! The problem was the food! Eek I don't think the kitchen has salt or pepper in it? The eggs had no flavor and the potatoes had zero salt! Unfortunately we will probably stick with canopy road from now one because the food was just terrible. read more

Last minute late breakfast at Grumpy's. Clean and the wait was only 7 minutes, a treat.:)) server was friendly and the food came out fresh. My scramble eggs were lukewarm, probably ready before the Greek omelet my spouse ordered. All the food was tasty. The omelet was huge we could have shared. The ham steak delicious and the hash browns crispy on the outside. Let's not forget the coffee was perfect and the mug huge. Enjoy read more

I cannot believe this was my first time eating at Grumpys! Breakfast is possibly my favorite day and I have been missing out! Went on a Friday late morning. It was pretty busy which surprised me! But we were sat quickly. French toast is normally my go-to but I spotted a cinnamon roll on the menu and I am so glad I did. Often at restaurants it seems to me like they came out of a tin tray and were warmed up in a microwave. Absolutely not the case here. This cinnamon roll tasted fresh! And it was slathered in icing. Warm and gooey and absolute perfection. No notes. I also got a side of bacon so I could finish on a salty note and it was juuuust the right side of crispy and it was A LOT of bacon for a side. The coffee was also a perfect diner coffee and a great pairing with this breakfast. My friend went more of a lunch route with a Grumpys BLT. It was an excellent BLT. Also a side of potato salad (which of course I sampled) and that tasted like they made it pretty fresh as well. The exact right amount of mustard. I feel like with both the service and food they maintain more of a local diner feel even tho they are growing quite a bit lately. I would definitely go back anytime. read more

Firstly, the windows need blinds. Scorching sunlight will bake you if you sit in the wrong spot. We were on the wait list, got called and then the guy admitted he'd made a mistake and had a further 20 minute wait. Inside the restaurant there were a bunch of flies doing their thing. There's nothing visible to take care of them and patrons typically prop the front door open when they're waiting to be seated or to put themselves down in the wait list. We were a party of 4 who had a below average server and lackluster food. My whole party either had over or undercooked food. We had to send more than one plate back. Drinks soon ran empty, top-ups were of myth and legend. If the server had been attentive and frequent, some of this could have been avoided. I've been to several other Grumpy's. This one is not the one to visit, sadly. read more

I think grumpy was grumpy back in the kitchen today. I was grumpy when I left there today. It is the worst lunch I have ever had in the state of Florida since I've been here for seven months ordered the hot turkey plate. They were out of white meat said dark meat only the dark meat was little scraps of dry turkey had been pulled off the carcass the dressing was spread on the bottom of the plate no flavor whatsoever. The turkey gravy was horrible. Had no flavor did not taste like turkey on the lousy mashed potatoes, which looked like they were a few days old. They served brown gravy. I can't even tell you what the vegetables were except I think there were some cabbage in there absolutely horrible. I had the tuna chicken salad plate. They were out of chicken salad so give me an extra skep scoop of tuna. The tuna was full of large pieces of red onion. The salad around it was absolutely horrible tomatoes look like they were left over from a hamburger slice Kalamata olives that should've been thrown a week away slices of peppers that should not have been on the salad, brown lettuce and lousy blue cheese dressing they put six packs of crackers on top of the salad. I guess to make it look good. Took a long time to get our order food was delivered. No one came back to check how it was had to ask for a check to go back, which I dropped in the garbage can on the way out never again. I have been to grumpy's for breakfast once before there was great. I feel sorry for Mrs. grumpy and quite honestly I feel sorry for the employees who have to put up with the complaints about grumpy's lousy food. read more
