Grumpy's Cafe

Went here for breakfast both days we were in Cleveland. Great little breakfast/brunch spot. The staff both days were top notch and the food was great! Plenty of gluten-free options and they even have dedicated equipment so there is no cross contamination between their regular meals and gluten-free meals.

A friend of mine and I went here to brunch which of course we read about for forever and were pleasantly surprised. They had gluten-free pancakes which I really enjoyed and the wait at first seemed long because of how many people were waiting outside. The server said it would take 20 to 25 minutes but it only wound up taking about 15 it gave us enough time to walk around the park catch up and walk back in time to be seated. The vibe is really nice it's casual dining and kind of has a diner vibe. There are lots of bright colors inside and the hostess the desk looks like the front of a VW bus. There is art for sale on the walls inside and everything is a splash of color and is vibrant and beautiful.

It's breakfast time again, and Grumpy's is at the top of everyone's list. I decided to find out why. My mother and I decided to give it a try. The first thing I noticed was the extensive gluten-free options. My wife is GF, and I could appreciate it on her behalf. I ordered the corned beef hash with a side biscuit and gravy. What I can say is I'm impressed it was made from real corned beef, and it was not mush from a can. That being said, it was a little too dry for my liking. It was also very simple, just corned beef and potatoes. Nothing exciting or groundbreaking. The biscuit and gravy were also good, but nothing to give accolades about. Definitely not the best in town as some people have described. My mother got a French toast breakfast. As you can see from the pictures, it's just a French toast breakfast. Good, but exactly what you would expect. The sausage was a little overcooked and hard, but some restaurants don't know about the steam method. Perhaps it's done by choice. Overall, it was a nice breakfast. I'd come back again, but then again, we liked Lucky's better.
