Great service & coffee, solid breakfast food

Georgia Mallios

Nice spot for Sunday brunch! The blueberry pancakes were warm and delicious. Great service and overall experience.

There was egg shell in my biscuit and gravy Service was really slow there was only 2 tables for Service. The waitress was very nice and was going to comp the meal but I said no because I had ate half of it already.

Great home cooked breakfast for great price. Blueberry pancakes and omelettes were delish!

The food was cheap and you got a large portion, plus the staff was very friendly. We ordered french toast which was good, and pancakes which tasted fine but the texture was a bit rubbery. However there was a bad odor in the restaurant and some used napkins on the floor by our table which made eating there unpleasant. Adding one star because the staff gave a man who was down on his luck some hot water to make his breakfast outside, which was very kind.

We had not one, but two roaches join us on the table for our fine dining experience.Food was good for the price but didn't seem to be hot enough for freshly cooked food and not worth enduring the cellar like environment.The restaurant also had a very distinct smell of burnt scraps and heavy dust.

I’m surprised the reviews are so high. Worst thing: This place is really dirty. The bathrooms were shockingly filthy with a giant dead roach to boot. It smelled like they go in the bathroom to smoke cigarettes too. It smells like a giant dust bowl in this restaurant. The food was bland and their vegetables taste like they’re from a can.The people that work there are very nice and I hope they can improve over time. I wanted to give this local business a fair review even though I wanted to run away the moment I walked in. I should have listened to my instincts, but we stayed and ate our meals.

I ordered the French toast & oatmeal. French toast was very yummy, oatmeal was good but nothing special. My friend ordered the shrimp and grits. She mentioned she has had better but to me that item you need to order in a seafood restaurant. The bathroom really needs a good scrubbing plus dead bugs on the floor of the bathroom. Decor was dusty, fake poinsettias & it’s May. Our server was super nice. Owner of this establishment needs to have deep cleaning done and update decor. There was also a very sad dead plant that I had to water before I left just in case it could come back to life.

It's a very local eating place. The food was good and very inexpensive. I had a full breakfast with iced tea for $7.99! Can't beat that!

Friendly people and great location, but my food tasted awful. I didn't feel like I could fake it being good so I tried to avoid eye contact with the staff as I left. It was really sad. The food felt like it was straight out of a box. Maybe I just caught them on the day their line cook quit? Idk, not going to try a second time though.

Went on Sunday at 11:30 AM and they were closed with a closed sign on the door. The door was not locked and there were people inside eating. The time listing on Google says open until 3PM. They should update their time.

Do not sleep on the Grand Cafe! It is a quintessential diner with really savory dining options, prompt, attentive and cheerful service with no-frills pricing. Highly recommend!
