“A place to meet a friend and be a friend.” For over 20 years, Grumpy’s Mexican Cafe makes you feel at home every time you visit. They ensure you leave happy and with a full stomach. How could you not with the generous portion sizes? Some of their Must Try favorites are the Chicken and Waffles with Twisters or the classic, Chili Cheese Enchilada plate. You’re sure to fall in love with this place just as I did. After my first visit with my family, I went back two weekends in a row. Three weekends at Grumpy’s back to back. No regrets.
