| - On a random Tuesday morning, my best friend Lisa invited me to breakfast at one of her favorite breakfast spots in Tremont. If you want to know anything about Lisa, just know that she LOVES good food and isn't shy to say when she doesn't love something. So since this place came highly recommended by her, I knew I had to try it. Plus, I love the Tremont neighborhood so that alone made the 25 minute trek worth it.
Though I went during the work week, the parking lot outside Grumpy's was pretty full. I can't imagine how hard it would be to find a spot during the weekend. Anywho, once inside, I found the interior to be nicely decorated although smaller than what I expected. The waitress acknowledged us right away and allowed us to thoroughly study the menu. (I basically have to read the entire menu before making my decision. It's annoying, I know, but the waitress was patient and I greatly appreciate that!)
So after studying the menu, I finally decided on the sausage gravy and biscuits. Lisa ordered an omelette (forgot which one, sorry) and a side order of the strawberry french toast. Both portions were pretty large. I found my dish to be pretty basic and honestly, a little disappointing after Lisa's rave review. But, the saving grace was the amazing french toast! Lisa let me taste hers and let me just say, I would definitely make a second visit to Grumpy's for the french toast alone. I would also order one of the classic dishes next time.
Overall, Grumpy's offers a wide range of menu items and is worth a visit, especially since it's located in the cute Tremont neighborhood. I would return, but I would make sure to atleast have a side order of that amazing french toast.
