Grumps Crofton is the BEST! We came on a busy Saturday morning with our two dogs, and the staff was very accommodating and found us a table in their warm outdoor tent. The menu is extensive, and covers all bases for both breakfast and lunch. The staff (mostly high school kids) were so kind and all went the extra mile to ensure we had a great experience! All of our food was amazing, I really love their sausage, and their coffee and cold brew or free refills. I love taking out of town guests to this fun, quirky diner vibe for breakfast!

Cool place. Unusual seating/ordering. You tell them how many in your party then wait on line to order then go sit at the table they put a number on for you then they bring out your food. Coffee and soft drinks are self serve. Food was very good! Despite the line when I walked in, it moved quickly and food came out pretty quick.

I finished a workout class nearby and was famished so I decided to try a new café. I am happy that I found grumps Café. The food is fresh, the servers are nice, and the beignets are absolutely delicious. The blueberry pancakes and the cinnamon butter Were also a nice touch. The potatoes are hands-down, one of my favorites. It can get quite busy, so definitely come when you can

No frills and quirky restaurant where the staff wears pajamas. Came here for breakfast and it was delicious. Coffee options were plenty and delicious as well. Highly recommend the shrimps and grits, and French toast.

Cute concept of a classic diner! This is a chill place where there's no need to get dressed up because the staff where's pajamas to serve breakfast! They serve all day breakfast: which makes them a favorite for dbabe! And the food comes out hot and quick! Always seasoned to perfection and I really enjoy the chicken and the eggs- which came first ?! Lol and Babe switches up what he gets but this time he got a meat omelette! You can create your own drink: fountain drinks and coffee... Babe always makes our coffee- I'll say surprise me because they have a few to choose from- and I like surprises (only the good kind) and then we feast! It really gives an at home feeling because the coffee is made in the real mug. I definitely recommend checking them out if you're in the crofton area !

My waffles were perfectly crisp while also sweet, the portion was perfect for someone who doesn't love a huge breakfast. Grumpys is a casual breakfast spot - stopped by with a few friends while on a road trip! we got our food fairly fast and still warm (the best part).
