Food is good and decently priced. As a born and raised local every time I've gone in or used the drive thru the waiters/waitresses have been very polite. Their fresh OJ is great too! read more

I / we have been eating breakfast & lunch on a weekly basis including a Bible study / fellowship luncheon with a group of men every Wednesday at 11:00 am for the past several years. Here are my / our experiences and observations: 1. After trying just about everything on the breakfast/lunch menu, I have yet to had a bad meal. The food is always done just right and the flavors excellent. 2. The service is amazing; when your not looking the coffee mug, water or cold beverage glass is always kept full. Often the waitress will come around to check if all is okay. The waitresses are very well dressed and groomed with personalities to match. 3. The restaurant is very clean with a touch of home environment. What are my favorite meals: Breakfast: Their "Waffle (plain or Belgian), eggs (cooked to your liking), bacon or sausage (patties or links) combo" is awesome. Lunch: They are known for their burgers, fry's and onion rings - the best. The same can be said for their Patty Melt and French Dip sandwiches. Awe heck, all the sandwiches are GREAT! They offer a couple of various flavors of soups daily, all very good, especially their Lobster Bisque when available! YOU KNOW A PLACE HAS TO BE GOOD BY CHECKING OUT THEIR PARKING LOT. From 7:00 am until 1:00 pm the lot is usually full, however their seems to be a good turnover. WAIT FOR A SPACE TO BECOME AVAILABLE, YOU WON'T REGRET IT !!! PS: No, I am not an owner or am I being paid to give this review. I am speaking for myself and many other of my acquaintances. read more

Good meal, though I ordered two of the same meal to go, and they prepared one. I should have picked up the problem, when I got the bill, but I was on cruise control, at that point, and there were two boxes in the bag, so I figured everything was copacetic. I was disappointed, when I opened the first, because I'd wanted pancakes with the meal, and there weren't any. Then I opened the second box, thinking it was the other meal, but it was the pancakes for the first. So we split the one meal, which, it turned out, was fine. Tasty and filling. I'd go back, but be clear about what I'm ordering. read more

Stopped for breakfast on way to Malakoff Diggins State Historic Park to go hiking. Service was fast and food was good. Rating would have been higher but they charge to split meals. Had Monterey Omelette and good portion of bacon in omelette and home fries were crispy. read more

Humpty Dumpty remains my favorite takeaway but this time I eschewed the drive-in and had the whole diner experience. I had some time to fill while my windshield was being replaced nearby and I was able to have lunch at a leisurely pace without feeling rushed. The menu is fairly traditional, but much more extensive inside. The prices are excellent for the quality and portions. I had fish & chips, which was served with salad and fries and a roll and butter--3 pieces of fish and all this for, like, $16.95! Th fish as a little greasy this time around, but otherwise, still one of my favorite places for comfort food. read more

Never have I ever seen a drive through diner! I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and appreciated the convenience of the drive through. I ordered the french toast meal, which was delectable. The french toast was eggy and warm and sweet. I appreciated the accompaniments, like "maple" syrup, butter, ample napkins and utensils. I also appreciated the ample coffee and frapuccino options, with an array of milk alternatives available also. Service was super polite. I will be dreaming of that french toast for a little while longer! read more

Normally I don't get the corned beef hash with eggs but thought i would try something from my regular. It was crispy and eggs were cooked perfect... but I will go back to my regular. Service is always nice and friendly. Even if there is a wait at the door it goes pretty quick. It's a place that anytime I go to Grass Valley it's where I will go before I hit the road to head home. Place has lots of seating, and even an upstairs. Can get a lil loud but you can still hold a conversation without yelling. read more

After a long morning of driving up to Grass Valley, someone recommended this restaurant to us saying that it was the best and I think it's fair to say I did not disappoint! We were immediately seated and our orders were taken right away! It was a very homey, small town breakfast joint that was very lovely. My boyfriend ordered the Humpty's breakfast while I ordered the grilled turkey sandwich with a side of cottage cheese. They were DELICIOUS! Probably the best turkey sandwich I have ever had! It was loaded with turkey and the bread was very buttery and crispy. My boyfriend finished his plate also! This is a must if you're in the area! read more

Everyone is super friendly, and it seems to be a very popular restaurant with reasonable prices. However, I was disappointed with my meal of two eggs, turkey bacon, and hash browns, as everything lacked flavor. In contrast, my husband and friends practically licked their plates clean. Overall, I'll give this restaurant four stars. read more

Classic diner, recommend a chocolate chip waffle or french toast with banana& berries. (Can't go wrong with a burger either if it's lunch) still crave a marshmallow shake from time to time too. read more

My brother moved to Nevada County a few years ago so he's constantly on the lookout for places to check out. During my most recent visit, he recommended we grab breakfast at Humpty Dumpty before heading home. There was a line when we arrived but we were seated within 5 minutes. All of the cooks, hosts, and servers are constantly moving... and you'll notice all of the servers are female, good looking, and all wearing tight black clothes. I'm sure the owner did this on purpose. Regardless, they were all working hard tending to multiple tables, going up and down the stairs, etc. Menu has everything and anything you would want from a classic diner; breakfast, lunch, salad, drinks, ice cream, etc. I was torn between breakfast or a burger.... I ended up getting a bacon cheeseburger, cause why not. My burger was cooked a little over (well done), but it was exactly what I had in mind. A no frills type of cheeseburger and didn't try too hard. Simply a basic but flavorful bacon cheeseburger and the fries were hot, thick and crunchy! My brother and a friend ordered Humpty's Favorite; 2 eggs, bacon or sausage, hashbrowns or home fries + 2 pancakes! Servers kept the coffee flowing so my glass was rarely empty. All in all, solid spot. read more

Paid $16 for a breakfast burrito with barely any meat and literally no cheese. Asked for American to make it classic and cheesy and not one bite had cheese in it. First and last time, so bummed because it could've been soooo good but who doesn't want a cheesy burrito :/ read more

I've been to Humpty Dumpty Kitchen a couple of times now. The first time, I had a patty melt that was really yummy -- classic diner comfort food done right. This time I decided to try breakfast and ordered the mini breakfast with eggs, bacon, and blueberry pancakes. The pancakes weren't my favorite, but everything else was tasty and fresh. What really stands out here is the service -- everyone is so kind and attentive, and it feels like a real local spot. Even though breakfast wasn't my top pick, I'd definitely come back to try other things on the menu! read more

Humpty Dumpty sat in a town (Grass Valley Ca) Humpty Dumpty had great food (local diner everything homemade) All the local folk and all the visitors could not stop talking about what Humpty Dumpty was all about (I would never have known about this place if not for my Uber driver) I didn't do the historical research of this Establishment. Only thing I know is they renovated the property in the early 2010's. The other thing I know is they were around as a local diner for at least 60 years. They have tables and dining facilities on the 2nd floor. Food is your local diner does well. They make their own hollandaise sauce for their Eggs Benedict. Waffle and pancake batter home made. Free coffee refills and you would need to ask for water as water is brought to you on request. Service is your local diner does well. While I'm sure each server has their own area, I noticed they all work together by pitching in to their co servers area. Price point keeping up with inflation; that's all I can say. If you're in the Grass Valley area and looking for a meal, albeit breakfast, lunch or dinner, and you want a diner atmosphere, go here. Humpty Dumpty Kitchen certainly stood the test of time read more

The food is always consistent and delicious! The service is fast and respectful, I can't believe I've lived here 6 years and haven't once dined at this gem! I can't forget the inside of this place, it feels like your in a cabin but also at your grandparents house in the woods, it's that cozy! I've been coming again and again after my first time eating here, you most definitely have to stop here if you are a local or just passing through. read more

Met dear friends Jim & Tracy for breakfast, coffee was good, eggs Benedict was fantastic. Service was friendly, quick and attentive - lots of refills on coffee. I ordered the EB with the included option of hash browns. Those were also perfectly cooked to a golden color. I don't know what it is about this place, but everyone appeared happy. Staff and patrons alike were making eye contact and smiling. Apologies - was so hungry I ate before taking a pic. read more

It's a great local spot. Similar to a Denny's. The service was good and the food was decent. Don't click on the menu from this website. I suspect that is where I downloaded malware onto my phone. It doesn't connect and I've had all kinds of problems since then. read more

Went there for breakfast with my wife. We both got the spinach Omelette. The omelette was cooked to perfection. It was fluffy and the ingredients included spinach, mushrooms, onions. We'll try lunch there next time. The hash browns were also wonderful. Definitely recommend Humpty Dumpty Kitchen for breakfast! read more

Prices were decent,food taste great, clean restaurant overall Although there was only 1 server in the early morning during the days I've been,very friendly and attentive but could you use the help when big groups come in the door read more

Today (dec 19th) my friend and i decided to go out for bteakfast on a cold and rainy day. Humpty Dumpty is the locals favorite for a big bteakfast! It is located on Main street in Grass Valley. Today i shared the humpty dumpty special .2 eggs scrambled with 3 strips of bacon with hash browns AND 2 pancakes! Such big portions! Love the crispy bacon! My friend got the meatlovers special (technically not on the menu). Full of sausage and bacon and ham. Huge! Also got a side of biscuits and gravy to go. They are always busy but they get the order out quickly! They also have a drive thru and counter seating. If you have friends coming in for the holiday then this is a great place for groups! The staff is friendly and the coffee is flowing! They also have a lunch menu ( see my previous review). Always see my receipts so you know how much everything is! Great casual place with consistently good food! read more

after a horrible food experience, had a bad experience with their servers, complained to the owner which was when I saw why the problem exists; he's a brainless fool; thinks he's always right even when obviously he should have tried the food and he would have seen, actually tasted how horrible it was. food was horrible, service was bad, owner was downright brainless. The restaurant looked nice from the outside though, hopefully he will get some better cooks and servers read more

Went thru drive thru Sunday and Friday same week ordered the exact same thing and was totally different each time.

I would come back and try something different. read more
