Grampa's Restaurant

Grampa’s Diner in Dania Beach is a true local gem, especially for breakfast lovers. The omelets are perfectly fluffed and generously loaded with fresh ingredients, making every bite a delight. Their eggs Benedict consistently earns high praise for its spot-on execution, with rich hollandaise and perfectly poached eggs. One standout treat is their black & white muffins—these are a must-try, with a unique crispy, crunchy texture that sets them apart from anything else in town. If you’re a bagel fan, you’ll be blown away by Grampa’s: the bagels are huge, authentically made, and bursting with that real New York-style chew. The portions here are famously large, so you’ll never leave hungry, and the service has that classic, friendly diner vibe that makes you feel right at home. Whether you’re fueling up before a flight or just looking for a classic breakfast spot, Grampa’s delivers comfort food and bakery delights that keep locals and visitors coming back for more.

Although the order counter is the same, it is important to inform them in advance whether you will be dining in or taking out. The order counter staff is extremely professional and friendly. There are also a wide variety of freshly prepared delicious food options.

Old style with Katze’s Deli Corn Beef. The best Corned Beef sandwich in the area. If you’re in the area, it’s a must stop. I had been in Dania Beach last year & ate here. This time I was 4 miles away in Hollywood Beach & made a quick trip over just for this sandwich!

It's a nice sized restaurant. They have breakfast and lunch options. They have a bakery where you can buy fresh bakery products from candy, condiments, eggs. The food was good. The waitress was a little short in explaining options. I had the burger and didn't know it came with 2 sides. The fries were good. We did get a few things from the bakery to go.

This place is a wonderful modern twist of a throwback that is all it's own. I loved the corned beef eggs benedict with home fries, I recommend them. Grandpa's Restaurant is a great way to start your day in the middle of all the crazy.

Yum. My husband had the Reuben..very authentic and good. I had egg salad sandwich...stuffed high with egg salad, and a fabulous tomato slice plus fresh onion slice. Would totally return and try other menu items. And we bought some black and white cookies they bring in from NY. They were fresh and soft and good.

This restaurant has changed in the last couple of years and we feel for the better. Our food was fantastic. Our waiter Sam was great . He was attentive and informative. He brought our food and topped off our coffee with a smile . We bought some backed stuff like Rugalla raison and walnut apricot variety, which we had later in the day, and they were great also . It was a great experience all around. Grampa's is as good as it's ever been .

Highly impress with their service and friendliness since we walked in… we were a big group and some restaurants will be challenged to accommodate us but they just open a room and have us all together. Food was amazing, wow the knish was delicious and so the pastries/ cakes and bagels we ate. Great choice to come… will be back for sure!!!

We had 3 hours to kill since the flight kept getting delayed so we took a drive down Federal Hwy. Saw a sign on the street Grampa's Bakery, so we decided to go for a coffee and pastry. Ok... no bakery on premise but this place has been around forever serving great breakfast and deli. Located right off of SW 1st in Dania Beach, this is one of the last South Florida bagel delis and dinners. I heard they closed for a while but they're back serving fresh bagels and from what the server told us... great breakfast. I was impressed with how spotless it was. Cappuccino was excellent and so was the peach rugelach. We got there about 49 minutes before they closed and everyone inside couldn't have been nicer. Definitely on my list to go back for breakfast.

Good service. Had soup and 1/2 corned beef sandwich. Delicious big bowl of chicken soup although not served that hot. Corned beef was very fatty and lacked taste, Which was not the taste on previous visits. Took home a black and white cookie which was so dry and tasted stale. So disappointing since it was supposed to be a treat off my regular avoidance of sweets.

Always good food and nice people My LEO was full of lox. Good strong coffee Always come here when in the area

Grampa's Cafe has a charming, welcoming vibe and a solid menu. We ordered the Caesar Salad Wrap, which was a bit dry and lacked flavor, but the California Chicken Wrap was fresh and tasty. The real standout was the Bacon, Egg & Cheese with Chive Cream Cheese--absolutely amazing! Warm, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. Service was friendly and quick, and while not every item hit the mark, the highlights definitely made it worth the visit. We'll be back to try more!

Bagels here are great. I will say it is a bit pricey. We went in and ordered food to go, and it was a bit hectic, but the wait wasn't long. The workers were very nice. We tried the tuna melt, and the chicken wrap as well and both were great. But do be prepared to spend a little more than the norm.

Came to Grampa's Cafe in the early morning on my way to a symposium because I had heard great things. The ambiance is that of a regular diner, nothing special. The service was friendly and attentive, although I believe the silverware was plastic. My Pastrami, Egg, and Cheese Sandwich was sinful and delectable. The home fries that came with them were good, just needed to add a bit of salt. The coffee was very good as well. I would return for that sandwich alone if I were in the area, but I'm curious about the other menu items as well.

Was in the area and decided to try Grampa's for lunch. Seated quickly, waitress took our drink order and explained em we hadn't dined there before. While perusing the menu I took a look around the restaurant. Very clean and up to date. Up front they have take out orders and frozen soups, and order things like cream cheese's and desserts and of course delicious looking bagels. My Husband and I both ordered chicken salad sandwiches on rye served with a scrumptious fresh pickle. Chicken salad was tasty and not very chunky ( I like it that way). I ordered cucumber salad as a side. Not the best I've had. The coney was cut way too thick causing it to not absorb the flavoring. My husband ordered the potato salad and did not care for it. Also said it was too chunky. The women's bathroom definitely needed updating. I'll say no more on that. Over all the food was good, and for the area I felt a little pricey. We ordered half a pound of tuna salad to go costing around $19 a pound and a few bagels for tomorrow. The bagels look amazing!!!

We took the Grandkids for breakfast / early lunch before a movie. I had been here years ago and my grandchildren knew about it and asked to go here for the pancakes so we couldn't say no. We parked in the shopping center next door because there was very little parking out front. We waited a few minutes to be seated. There is a deli section and a small and had a lovely server who was so nice to the kids. There were a lot of tables inside but they were very busy. The boys ordered pancakes and chicken fingers off the kids menu . We had a BLT and more pancakes. The food was delivered to our table promptly. The boys loved their meals and we were happy with ours. The prices are a little higher than I would expect for a BLT but the food was good. We will be back when the grandkids want more pancakes!

In short: a New York bagel style deli that was established in 1957. I've had this bookmarked for some time after reading good reviews, and since I was in the area I decided to check it out. It located perpendicular to the Jaxson's ice cream plaza. And there's parking storefront as well as the side. Service: we were a party of 5 at 1015am and seated immediately. Our server was nice but a bit off putting when my friend asked what was gluten free on the menu. The server said"nothing is". This is 2024, we are all adults and realize gluten intolerance is a thing. Anyway, we figured out what she could have on our own. Management should educate the servers on what is gluten free on the menu Another thing is that my friend and I asked for everything bagels on the side, I mentioned to the food runner that they didn't come out and then 10 mins later had to mention again to my server. It was a bit busy so I understand. Food: Our server was very thoughtful and brought us a complimentary blueberry muffin. It wasn't fresh but it was tasty. I had a farm fresh Omelet, hash browns and an everything bagel on the side. The omelet was decent but had a funny taste to it, I couldn't quite put my finger on it. The bagel was just okay... considering this is a NY style deli I expected top notch bagels. But maybe this isn't what their speciality is. Overall it was a decent meal but i can't say it's anything to write home about. I would come back and try them again if in the area to see if this was just an off day flavor wise.

Food is good. But again we get a crotchety old lady for a server . Takes all the joy lot of coming here . Best waiter is the young dude with a tattoo. He's cool. Maybe as for him. He is super nice and chill. Bagels are yummy. So I'll keep coming . F it . Hate them old lady servers though. Believe me !

Had a breakfast there, good bagels. The eggs were runny but the coffee was decent. Went back for lunch and got the Carnegie Deli pastrami sandwich. $20 it was good but wasn't very lean. Oh well, that's pastrami for ya, it's always a gamble. Good service for dining in. Take out counter forgot my mustard

NEEDS TO BE ON THE MAP!!!! This was a true gem to find. We were actually on our way to ihop and found Grampas cafe. Ample seating. Appears to have enough staff. Serving both the bakery and the restaurant. We found out the for sale sign is for a truck that's been sitting out there since the early 1990's I believe it only had one wheel. I share this story because our waitress Brook, was very personable. That's the service you can expect. I only wish more places like this were that attentive. As far as the food, I ordered the greek omelette. Apparently everything comes with their famous bagels. They were as close to NJ bagels as you can get. The cheese blintz were perfection. A+ everyone! Keep doing what you do best. That's why you've stayed around this long.

First time here but it definitely won't be my last. I had gone there planning to get the corned beef hash, but I was told that the corned beef was canned so I opted for the pastrami sandwich instead. It came with a choice of macaroni salad, coleslaw, or cucumber salad. I opted for the cucumber salad and I'm so glad I did. It was so delicious and so fresh tasting. As far as the pastrami sandwich I have to say it was the best pastrami I've had since leaving NY but I wasn't surprised at all since they use Carnegie deli meat. My husband had the eggs Benedict with perfectly crispy hash browns as his side but home fries and choice of tomato is also available. The server was good and he was friendly although he seemed a bit overwhelmed yet it wasn't very busy. We ordered bagels, cream cheese, nova salmon, tuna salad, egg salad, baked salmon salad (SO DELICIOUS) and some chocolate rugelach to go. We really enjoyed everything we tried from there and as I said, we'll definitely be back. Got to meet and speak to Clive, one of their amazing employees and that was a major highlight of my visit there!

Food and service was fantastic!!! Super fresh, came out very quick, and the portion size was plenty!! I got the New Yorker bagel on an everything bagel after seeing it on someone else's plate walking in and it was fabulous!!! Would definitely go here again! Our server was also super friendly.

This place has been opened since 1957! A true institution in south Florida! Love the remodel! It's airy, open, even has a space for events. Well done. Service was prompt and while we didn't have to wait too long for the food to come out, everything wasn't hot. The server brought out three pieces of coffee cake that was delicious. My 3 egg western omelette was tasty and the hash browns were nicely crispy. For some reason, the food wasn't hot so it went cold by the time I was almost done. The everything bagel was nice. But other than that, it was satisfying.

We were traveling and visited this cute cafe near our hotel on Easter Sunday. We were worried about their availability but this cafe is larger enough to sit or grab on the go. Our server was friendly and attentive when greeting us and taking our order. They have LARGE coffee cups which I loved!! The food itself was delicious and served within 20 minutes of ordering. I would recommend grampa's!

Place seems to be known for their bagels and pastries. Was pretty popular with a line for take out and to sit for dine in. plenty of seating though. we only waited for about 15 minutes. Food was ok could use more flavor, I just got simple classic two eggs and cheese, wheat toast, bacon with hash browns. also shared a bagel as they are pretty big. should've asked for more cream cheese

Service was pretty quick. We ordered the Soup & 1/2 Sandwich. We both got the Matzo Ball Soup. I got a Pastrami Sandwich and my husband got Tuna Salad. We didn't realize how much soup they give you because we thought it was a half portion. Our server mentioned that they have containers that she could put our leftover soup in and said that most people don't finish their soups. The flavor of the soup was really good! My husband prefers a little crumblier matzo but said it was still good. They didn't have a lot of baked goods in their display since it was later in the day. The bagels that were coming out of the kitchen looked good. I wouldn't mind coming back to try a bagel.

Food ok if you don't change what they offer. For a breakfast I ordered "crispy" home fries and "crispy" corned beef hash. Both came soggy! In addition there is a 3% service charge! I usually pay a 20% -25% tip but in ALL cases where a restaurant charges a ridiculous "service" charge I deduct that off the tip! This is my 2nd AND last time here.

Dope spot for the NY Jewish deli vibe, if that's your thing. For me, I am always in search of the best rueben or pastrami sammie, so it was an awesome spot to check out. Service was fast and accurate. The lady reminds me of the soup nazi a bit, but it is just that direct NY sort of demeanor. Very authentic to what they are going for. The kineshes were awesome. We got brisket and potato. Id have either one again. My buddy got the tuna salad and was happy. I got the corned beef rueben and was also pleased. Not a massive serving, but I was full for a while. They use Carnegie meats, if that matters to you. Parking was free and easy. There was no line when we went. There is also a nice bakery up front for takeout stuff. Is it Katz's? No. Is it the best thing I've had so far in South Florida. Yes. Stop in and enjoy. I think you'll be pleased.

Landed at around 6 am and were starving after a 5 hr flight and looking for something open near Hollywood Beach. Yelp again saved the day and led me to this place. Typical diner vibes. Reminds me of watching the show Alice when I was a kid. Our server Louann was attentive and brought us a free coffee crumble cake-like appetizer. I added a star just for her. I could tell Louann knows some stories around these parts. Ordered 2 breakfast platters. Added bacon. They came with either hashbrowns or grits and toast of your choice and or a huge homemade bagel. The rye bread has a good strong rye flavor and the everything bagel tasted freshly baked. The cream cheese must be homemade because it sure wasn't Philadelphia. The bacon was little fatty and not crispy like we like it. The coffee was perfect and not weak. Wait back to the grits. Listen, we don't have these in Vegas. What the heck??? Added cream, butter and a bit of sugar and it was heavenly. So, we came back 2 days later because I couldn't stop thinking about these dang grits while trying to enjoy the beautiful beaches. Return visit, saw a sign about farm fresh eggs for sale $3.99 for check. I'm thinking this is a real thing here. We didn't have Louann :(The man was ok but definitely not a Louann. We ordered another breakfast platter and added sausage, biscuits and gravy with an added egg. I kicked my hubby under the table when he was asked hash-browns, tomato or grits. We got GRITS :) We will go back again before we leave I'm sure and I'll try to take some pics so you too can fantasize about grits while laying on the beach.

Little irritating when the hours printed on their website and menus along with what they have posted on yelp indicate they close at 4 PM and at 3:38 PM they tell me the kitchen closes at 3:30 PM so be aware

best dang coffee I have had from a diner hands down!!! also great food options. we got all different omelettes and all were good options but let me say the bakery breads were just as good!! the service was quick and you can tell they hustle. cute vibes and ambiance for a diner - more modernized

This cafe is such a great little spot! They have fantastic breakfast & lunch options. It cost $76 for 2 meals, egg salad & cookies (to go). Not too bad. Service was fast & everything tasted fresh. Check out the photos for a few to go options for out of towners that are looking for a quick hotel bite or people that are about to go to the beach.

The bagels at this place are massive. It's a charming little hole in the wall just south of the Fort Lauderdale airport. My omelet was pretty solid but I was way more impressed with the breakfast sandwiches and biscuits and gravy my parents and my wife got. This place is totally perfect to kill some time before a flight.

Everything was so good. The service was super fast and the wraps and sandwiches are always so good. The sides are also super good and fresh. The portions are a good size so you can definitely make two meals out of it. Would definitely recommend

There's definitely a NYC deli vibe here. It may be the many transplants that work here. Expect a wait for weekend breakfast/brunch. Bagels are huge and yummy. Pancakes are delicious, but can't recommend the cheese Danish. It's a ball of dough with a little bit of cream cheese. Even the waitress did not recognize it as a danish. Overall a good place to have a meal

We went there for breakfast ordered a power omelette. It was tasteless even with the veggies. The everything bagel was delicious. I am not sure I would order this again and even visit.

first visit here (and first time in ft laud) , we were searching for a nice breakfast spot, and we originally landed in first watch (yes, i know). while speaking to our uber driver, he questioned our choice and recommended that we visit Grampas for breakfast, and we took a detour here, and I am glad that we did. The service, 10/10, the food, the bagels just so good. the ambiance of the restaurant was so warming, it felt like being in a new york diner. the only thing we did not like was actually the potatoes, just a little to thickly cut to where the center of the pieces felt undercooked. come here for your next bagel craving!

Such a terrific place to grab breakfast or a quick lunch in the Dania Beach area. Tasty food, friendly service and a clean, bright ambiance. When you enter the building, you're greeted with a cute little market area where you can shop for an array of different items & they also have a deli counter and bakery with a wide selection of meats, salads, pastries, cakes, etc m. No matter what you're in the mood for or if you're a picky eater, they have something for everyone here. Our server Deana was very kind, attentive and helpful when my father and I dined for lunch the other day. She was accommodating when I asked to modify the orchid salad (remove goat cheese, add red onion) which turned out to be fresh & delicious. If you're a bagel fan, they have a ton of options available. Love that their breakfast menu is available even during lunch hrs! The only thing that's a bit inconvenient is the parking. It's limited with very few spaces out front and along the side of the building. There is parking available across the street in the shopping center where Jaxson's is, but I can't attest to whether or not your vehicle will be at risk of being towed parking here so park at your own risk. Highly recommend Grampa's if you're in the mood for quality food in a diner setting! One of the best of its kind in Dania.

They have a large menu but we were the around 10 am and so opted to get breakfast. It was busy, but they were able to seat us quickly. I ordered the Breakfast Plate ($ 7.99 - (served with Home Fries or Grits. Choose Toast, English Muffin or Bagel.) I had 2 scrambled eggs, home fries and a plain bagel. My eggs were cooked perfectly and the homefries were well seasoned. I was seriously disappointed by the bagel. It was very fluffy, not at all dense and was HUGE. I am used to (sorry to say but true!) far better bagels from up North. There was a good amount of cream cheese. 2 people ordered an omelette- $11.99 that has 3 eggs, served with Home Fries or Grits and Choice of Toast, English Muffin or Bagel. One got the Western (Ham, Peppers, Onions, Eggs and American Cheese - $11.99) and she said it was delicious. The other got the The Greek ( Eggs, Feta Cheese, Onions, Spinach & Tomato) - $11.99 and he said it was ok, the spinach made the eggs a little runny. We all enjoyed the homefries (which i much prefer over hash browns) So we would definitely go again and try other things!

Best breakfast and bagels by far I live 12 miles away and I go here for bagels and breakfast not daily but ever other week Good staff and service Limited parking

Ok finally a decent breakfast place where we don't have to spend an arm and a leg... I have my favorites but unfortunately the prices have gone so up, it's just as much as paying for dinner!!! Absolutely loved my Pastrami Swiss Egg sandwich! My mom cornbeef hash browns eggs great! But my sis french toast was just mediocre. By the way bagels are good here too! Will be back for sure & try other plates!

My husband and I went to have breakfast at 11:30am. The place was busy but not packed. The place is big and clean. It's a bagel diner run by great people. The waiters are attentive.

We were nearby post cruise at the Tru Hilton hotel for a few hours before heading to the airport & wanted a bite to eat. Gramp's was nearby so we walked over which was only about 8 minutes. It's right near Jaxton's ice cream, which we had been to many, many years ago. We were seated within 15 minutes. Service was very quick. We ordered: 1 plain & 1 everything bagel with cream cheese, 1 roast beef wrap with fries, 1 burger with fries & 1 hungry woman egg white wrap w/home fries. 1 coke & 4 waters. The bagels are massive. Everything was hot & it came quickly. It was all delicious. We took a chocolate chip muffin & jelly rings to go. I would definitely come back if traveling in the area. $70 plus tip for 4. Parking lot out front.

Definitely a place to come for some good breakfast! Everything was made to perfection & so fresh! Happy we came here to enjoy a nice meal before our flight. Thank you Grampa's cafe !! Service was great to & place is super cute!

This place was a recommendation to try. The food was good and filling. The service was good. Enjoyed the large windows and natural light while dining in a window seat. The flow of diners was steady. As one car left, another parked in that spot. Coincidentally, as I was reversing out of my parking spot, someone pulled up and waited for me.

I have been driving by this restaurant for years in Dania Beach and never knew this place existed. It's a quaint family run restaurant. The food is awesome. The staff is very friendly. The service was very attentive to my needs. I highly recommend this place.

When I'm down in Sunny South Florida for work, Grampa's Cafe is my breakfast spot. They have a great menu selection of just about everything you could possibly want. I really enjoy their Blueberry pancakes because they're so good. They can get busy during prime morning rush, especially on the weekends so plan accordingly.

A stop at Grampa's has become a tradition when ending our Miami cruises and heading home to Orlando. The bagels sandwiches are amazing and the service is always great. They are kind to our son, who is disabled, and work with his dietary restrictions to make sure he gets to enjoy our visits as well. My husband is a born and raised New Yorker - he says Grampa's is NYer approved.

Great spot for breakfast. Hot coffee, bagel or toast egg sandwichs and other options. Speedy service / they stay busy! Parking lot was packed. I didn't try the babaka but it looked well made!

Great local spot with friendly service and delicious food! I was staying at a hotel about a 10 minute walk from Grampa's and headed here for breakfast. Definitely a mix of locals and tourists, but they moved people in and out quickly (without rushing people) and served the food up fast! I got 2 eggs scrambled with hash browns and a bagel on the side and was shocked at the value of this meal! $9 for nice, fresh scrambled eggs, a hearty portion of homemade hash browns, and a delicious, fluffy bagel. Also, our server was excellent! I'd definitely come back if I ever find myself in this area again.

Traveling in from the northeast we stopped here for lunch. We were greeted by friendly staff and delicious aromas. Kathleen was our server, and she was amazing. The food was exactly what we were looking for. Being from NY I was so pleased to discover the perfect diner style French fry. Which is such a rarity outside of New York. We decided to return the following morning to try their "best in Florida" bagels. And we were NOT disappointed. Service was excellent, shoutout again to Kathleen for stopping in to check on us! Food was great. Restaurant was clean. The takeout area was doing great business as well. 10/10 will definitely return next time we're in the area.

I love it American style breakfast In here amazing food & delicious comfortable. convenient location, clean and comfortable

Cute restaurant with good food! The bagels are the hit at this restaurant, so make sure you get some to try. Beware that there is limited parking and can be tight getting around the building to find a spot. Service wasn't the best. I think we just came at a bad/busy time.

Customer service was everything . Their bagels and so fresh and huge. Everything taste so fresh.

The matzah ball soup was great as was the brisket, corned beef and turkey. Nicely redecorated too!

We came here for lunch and we were very happy. It is near the Fort Lauderdale airport on US 1 S of Stirling Road. It is very clean and very welcoming. The waitress was very attentive and was patient with the group that I sat down with. We had a mix of deli sandwiches and Greek Salads and the food was very good. The portions are very generous as well. And very yummy! I can tell you that the pastries looked delicious though I didn't have any. Take a peek around the place and look at all of the pictures and the newspaper reviews! They are all very interesting! My only issue is the parking. - I had to park in the lot next door which houses Jaxson's ice cream - I don't know if I would constantly do that especially on a weekend because there are signs posted not to do that. You can and will be very happy!

First time @ Grampa's & it won't be our last. Breakfast was great & the bagel to die for and to top it all, we had the best waitress Ms. Renee!
