| - I just don't know if I'll be giving Grumpy's another try. Our brunch there was just one of those not really memorable things. Nothing stood out as being great....nothing stood out as being really crappy either. It was just "ok". In fact, given the choice between Grumpy's and Lucky's the other morning on our way out of town, we chose Lucky's even though it was definitely more expensive.
After reading some of the other reviews, I can probably guess why our experience wasn't fantastic.....we like to order eggs. While I am a huge fan of pancakes, I generally base my opinion of a place on an egg dish (I feel like I'm starting to sound like Wylie Dufresne of wd~50). If eggs don't pass the standard, then I'm not likely to go back. I ordered the eggs benny, one of my favorite dishes, it was bland and the hollandaise, well, it sucked to be honest. I still find it strange that if you asked for an egg "soft" in Cleveland, you will usually get a runny egg white as well....and that's what happened here too....who likes a runny egg white, "soft" references the yolk!! Home fries were not pleasing either.
I do like the fact they feature local artists on the walls, but it's not really anything unique to them, pretty much EVERY place in Tremont does that.
If I ever do make it back here, I will probably have to order the pancakes, but no matter how good they are, I will still judge this place on their crappy egg dishes.....there are far better places in the city for breakfast and brunch for me to go back to (Le Petit and Tremont Tap House come to mind immediately).
