I had a great experience at this establishment and our waitress Sylvia was very knowledgeable and awesome conversationalist!
Kept everything direct and too the point!
For anyone who hasn’t eaten here yet in your life!
YOU ARE MISSING OUT!!!
PULL OVER OR TURN AROUND AND COME EAT AT GRANDMA’S KITCHEN TODAY!!!
We’ll start with the good. The staff was friendly and attentive and it place looked like a nice diner. It was clean and although the place was full, it wasn’t noisy or distracting.
But we didn’t go there to meet the staff or be in a room. We were there to eat. That’s where the problems start.
To be clear, nothing was disgusting or rancid. It was all edible food. It was just extremely subpar. To start, we got coffee. Honestly it was just coffee flavored water that was lying about being coffee.
The best part of the meal were the eggs. I ordered mine over medium. The best thing I can say about them is that they were indeed eggs that were cooked to just above over medium but not too above that it ruined them.
The thing that saved the bacon was that it tasted like bacon. It was thin and cooked right. Nothing to write home about.
The hashed browns tasted like they were previously frozen. Again, not disgusting, just not good.
The pancakes, something any diner should have no problem with, had problems. They were indeed big and fluffy but they weren’t thoroughly cooked. The flavor was there but after a couple of chews it felt like you were chewing on batter. It had the consistency of peanut butter. Not a fun experience.
The syrup was like hot syrup flavored water. You’d think it would help with the weird batter flavored pancakes, but it did not.
All in all this was not a good experience. To top it off, I paid over $50 for this atrocity. This really felt like I went to a friend’s grandma’s house in the 80s and she lived in the middle of a food desert and tried to feed us with as much fake, albeit edible, food she bought at a box store.
I didn’t give this place 1 star because they tried. Everything else about this place was okay. I wouldn’t tell people to avoid this place like the plague. If you want over priced food that isn’t that great then by all means swing on by. You will be fed. And you will pay a lot of money for it.
For a place called Grandma’s I’m expecting everything to be cooked in lard, to have real maple syrup, fresh butter, and portions of food that is supposed to remind you that your grandma is trying to overfeed you because oh honey, you need to eat more.
Honestly, next time I’ll just go to a Denny’s. You should do the same.
4 star for atmosphere just because when it’s a full house, there’s not much noise cancelling panels. It’s all like an open floor plan which can be very loud for hearing impaired individuals who need to be able to hear conversation within a large group. It was loud when we were there but I think if we had gone at a less busy time it would have been quieter. Otherwise it can be like a loud cafeteria. The location is right next to some shopping places and a nice gift shop inside Hunt Drug. It’s just off Broadway but not directly downtown which makes it much easier to get to. The free parking is a bonus. I definitely recommend trying an early breakfast or brunch here.
Another day I tried the taco salad. It was really good! Much better than chain places. Everything was fresh. The waitress even gave me hot chocolate at a discount since she saw I was cold and shivering a bit. That was very kind and showed her caring skills in hospitality and the service industry. Thank you
