Grumpy's Toledo

I got the southwest garbage salad and mac and cheese and it was soooo good! Friendly staff and a very clean and cute atmosphere!

First time at Grumpys and overall the food is really good. I had a bowl of their chili and the sawbuck (I believe that I spelled that correctly) and I got a free oatmeal raisin cookies for it being my first time. Chili you could tell was made in house including the tomato base which made it one of the top Chili's I've had at a restaurant. The sawbuck was really good with the crunchiness of the toasted bread with the juiciness of the meat was great. The cookie was both soft and had that amazing outside crust you look for. The only "argument" I have is that the sandwich is served with potato chips and it is slightly expensive to eat there. For two of us with waters it was roughly $30 without tip.

First time visit for us, went during lunch on a Friday. Got a perfect parking spot and was sat right away! While I only grabbed a picture of our Mac and cheese (so comforting and delicious) but our entire lunch was scrumptious! A little pricey for what we got - (cheeseburger and Mac and chicken sandwich Mac and two drinks), but would definitely like to try a few more items on the menu.

So let's start off by saying this is my first time at grumpys the staff was great the vegan veggie was great the salad was a salad not Manny dressing options for vegans buy hey you win some you loose some. So I came in to grumpys for a quick bite, I thought the place was nice so I decided to dine in I order every single vegan item off the menu(I tend to believe I'm a traveling vegan food critic) so again I'm eating and from one plate to another I get to the VEGAN impossible burger. I talked to everyone here so I stopped a random worker and told them that the burger was under cooked and could it be remade to go because I had finished everything else the worker told me no it's vegan it's suppose to be like that and that's cooked more than what we usually cook them so no. So I ask for a manager and she says to me No I'm the owner(CASSIE) nice to meet you ( had to ask the other employees her name cusbshe never gave it) I'm like I've been vegan over 7 years and thats not done she then says well we not remaking it we can take that one and put it back on the grill and that's it. I usually don't do bad reviews but it was imperative that I publicly share this experience. I wish nothing but luck to any business owner but that by far was the worst experience I've had in years. I really wish this was social media so I could tagged the city's health inspector. And btw before grumpy decides to reply and warrant their nonsense I recorded the whole thing and will be more than happy to post that if need be

Excellent vegan options. The sweet potato burger (pictured) was terrific and unique. Serving it with kale chips was great. The chalk boards to your left when you enter have even more vegan options and there are great vegan desserts too. Service is great as well.

The food at Grumpy’s is always great, but the serving/kitchen staff needs to take their time a bit more to read the orders. Two times in a row now they’ve forgotten an extra side that I paid for, and not made substitutions for the items that I’ve ordered. Again the food is always wonderful, but for the high price I expect my food to be right at least most of the time.

Wow. This place is awesome. Super fast and delicious! I ordered the kitchen sink... one of the best sandwiches I've ever had!

Vegan brownie was super yummy for sure. This place closes early so I dont have the option to come here ever. I got out of class early and got to try it out. It's nice. Wish the hours were extended a bit. Or added on saturdays!

Private event on a Saturday night. We filled the space with 75+ and an excellent buffet was provided by the Grumpy's team. The menus hit all their menu favorites. The Mudhens were in town so the area was very crowded. Free parking was rough. This is the original location, and I've been here several times. Always positive. As of February It is under new ownership. The new owner, Vanessa, is very much on top of her game. Wish her great success in her new venture. There were issues with a license and currently they have no beer, wine, or spirits. They hope to have beer and wine very soon. Check out Grumpy's and give Vanessa a shout-out.

Every Saturday we look for a breakfast spot and this place was recommended quite a few times. We were the first ones in for breakfast and the menu had a ton of options. We had the French toast sandwich, the cheese and sausage scramble and all the flavors were amazing!

The service was not friendly. We got two "garbage" salads. The regular one was good but the vegan one had little flavor.

The vegan Reuben was AMAZING! The poppyseed dressing for the vegan Garbage Salad was delicious! We definitely recommend this place. Everyone was so nice. Vanessa, the new owner, was a wonderful host. You won't be sorry you tried this restaurant! Go now! Loved the decorated tree as you walk in, too. So inviting.

I ordered a mini takeout salad and asked for it to be tossed. The dressing came on the side, which wouldn't be a big deal if the salad container wasn't the size of my fist. That's why I wanted it tossed. The "chili lime strips" are full size, stale corn chips. In my opinion, (and apparently a few others) it's way overpriced for the size of the salad that you get. A $14+ salad could be a bit larger, or at least served in a container that doesn't make you lose half of the ingredients while you're eating it. When you also add a tip and they don't bother to read the instructions, that's just the cherry on top. I guess I really did get a garbage salad.

First, I want to say that I grew up going to Grumpy's. Mr. Horn, the previous owner, called me Squirt and I am proud to say that I was one of the few individuals who could make 'Mr.Grumpy' himself, smile. I loved coming here for their BLT, Ruben, and Garbage Salad and so far the quality of the food hasn't changed, it's still as amazing as it was when I was little. The ambiance on the other hand... leaves a lot to be desired. Ever since Mrs. Grumpy, Connie, passed away and the ownership of the restaurant was changed shortly thereafter, I've seen the restaurant slowly lose the character that it once had. The inside walls used to be covered with local art, the hardware sign from the original business that was in the building and pictures of Grumpy's patrons throughout the years. Now, you walk in and its, quite frankly, boring. I'm so so disappointed in the fact that the new ownership thought that modernizing the decor was a good move. It's literally lost all the life and charm that made me excited to go to Grumpy's. I'll be getting takeout from now on because there's no longer a reason to eat in at the actual restaurant. Sad

I have had so many friends, family, and coworkers rave about this place I finally tried it and got it door dashed to me at work one day. I got a southwest garbage salad and ordered an extra salad dressing with it. I didn't have high expectations for it because it's a salad but I was extremely surprised at how delicious and satisfying it was! I couldn't stop eating it and was full after eating it until the end of my work day. It is really pricey, like $15+ for a salad but it definitely was worth it and worth getting again. Just not something I can go to on a regular basis.

I don't get the legendary status this place holds amongst the Toledo lunch crowd. Yes, the garbage salad is good, but has anyone tried anything else? I ordered the Bologna sandwich with extra onions and I received the sandwich pictured. One onion slice. It was not thick cut as advertised and also was cold somehow, even though it was grilled and picked up on time. I will say the bun was good though. If this was $5 I wouldn't be upset, but they charge $11.00 for the sandwich pictured and a bag of chips. 3 stars for good salads and sides. The rest of the menu is lacking in my opinion.

Thankful for a recommendation, as I really enjoyed this downtown Toledo sandwich spot! Came here for a business lunch with a longtime friend, and we have very different taste buds, but both of us enjoyed it. Plenty of street and lot parking nearby, an ideal stop before a Mud Hens game. Friendly customer service, short wait for a midday table. An average noise level. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable, and understood that we were there for business and didn't rush us. I appreciated a nice surprise afterwards when the person at the checkout gave us both a complimentary home-made cookie as first-time visitors! I'll definitely return on my next stop to Toledo!

This place isn't the same anymore very disappointed , drove a very far distance to have a garbage salad which isn't tossed anymore and overly priced lettuce was old. Also the local art and pictures are gone with the charm.

Visiting Toledo/Maumee area? Then you need to come here to eat! Our visit was at the tail end of lunch on Friday. The waitress was not that great and seemed a bit grumpy, haha! Maybe that's part of the job requirement. I can overlook this silliness as the food was amazing! The menu does not say the sandwiches come with anything but both of ours came with plain wavy potato chips. Order: Mikey's Chicken Deluxe Grilled, hot boneless chicken breast on a grilled onion bun with muenster cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato, pepper rings, grilled onion, Honeycup mustard & mayo. $12 O-Ring (pic on my wife's review) A toasted bagel with Honeycup mustard & mayo. Layered with home cooked corned beef, cooked salami, Swiss cheese & onion. Warmed up, juicy, messy & divine. $10 Wow! The Mikey's Chicken Deluxe was super tasty. My mouth did a happy with each bite I took. The ingredients paired very well together. The honeycup mustard had a sweet taste to it and seems to bring everything together. ****first time visitors all get a free cookie**** You get your choice of peanut butter, chocolate chip or oatmeal raisin. ****kids get a free cookie every time they visit**** The cookies are regularly priced at $1/ea. There were 3 of us so we got one of each. These cookies were pretty good but not worth buying one on a future visit.

Passing thru town we stopped for lunch and what a lucky spot to find. Delicious, healthy, fresh, they have it all going Added charm was to see the local fire department stopped in for lunch, that was our first clue that food would be good here. Most of them ordered a salad so I did too. Amazing! My husband ordered a BLT, the bread was magical and the lettuce and tomato fresh and crispy, with a thick layer of crispy bacon. We will definitely stop again next time we are traveling I75 thru Toledo.

This is a great little sandwich shop! I ordered the O-Ring: "A toasted bagel with Honeycup mustard & mayo. Layered with home cooked corned beef, cooked salami, Swiss cheese & onion. Warmed up, juicy, messy & divine. $10" It reminded me of a Reuben sandwich but better because it was on an everything bagel instead of Rye bread. The sandwiches come with chips and a pickle spear. Kids always get a free cookie, and we got some for being first time guests! Those were tasty!

Just a reminder that the general opinion of most people in the Toledo/Sylvania Area is: Your pricing of your food is way out of line. Especially from other Restaurants in the area. The employees seem to rude & nasty as well. From what I've been told, the woman owner prefers it this way, as she is on the "nasty" side, herself. Please try to do better!

My wife used to work in the downtown area we usually stay downtown and eat at all the restaurants so I can be truthful to say from peace is always been a good place to eat

Irony. IRONY, I say!! Grumpy's is chock full of irony! How so? Well.... The restaurant's name itself is quite ironic, because nobody in the place seems to be the least bit petulant! Rather, the staff is friendly, cool, helpful and FAST! I get seated quickly, my order gets taken quickly, and the food comes quickly. Helpful? Yep. This most recent time in, one of the ladies in the front even noticed that I fed some quarters into the parking meter (like I always did!) On my way out, she was so kind as to tell me that during the week, I didn't need to pay. Nice. Want more irony? How about name of their best known item: "The Garbage Salad." Now, I've eaten garbage salads that actually do taste like refuse, but Grumpy's rendition certainly isn't one of them. It's awesome, in fact. Great combo of flavors and textures. And, it's filling enough that it certainly stands alone as a meal. Had enough irony yet? No? Well then here's some more. I lived in South Florida for years, YET, (possibly) THE best Cuban Sandwich variation that I've eaten is made right here in T-Town! Grumpy's "The Babalu" has become so ingrained in my consciousness that I can't drive down South Huron without thinking of either Desi Arnez or Renato Sobral. The bun, in my opinion is actually better than the Cuban bread used in the original version, and the addition of mayo really seems to help! Throw in super fast service, hip atmosphere and pretty good prices, and we've got a winner here! There are, however, two things that I'd like to see from Grumpy's: Weekend breakfast/brunch, and, a Glass City version of the muffaletta named, perhaps, "The Phoebus?"

The chicken in the salad tastes like it comes straight from a bag and I paid $17.50 for a salad missing half the ingredients (all of which also probably come from a bag).

Stopped in for a garbage salad, because of all the great reviews. It was excellent. I saw some tasty looking sandwiches go by, wish I could have tried one, but I was too full. Staff was very friendly. I brought a toddler with me and they were quick to bring a high chair and crayons for her. Thanks for great food and service!!

Sandwich, Salad, Wrap sort of place with fantastic reviews... My friend and I yelped this place and it was not bad. It definitely wasn't an ultimate favorite for me because I ordered the Hawaiian Wrap which is ham, cheddar cheese, and pineapples. Wasn't a fan of the wrap because the pineapples weren't grilled...and I heart grilled pineapples. My friend LOVED her "Garbage Salad" though. The Poppyseed Dressing is two thumbs up and a lesser known fact is that they SELL said dressing in small ($4), medium ($6), and large ($8) sizes. Yayyyy~ Loved the cookie from the check-in ...minus 1 star for not grilling the pineapple, but 4 stars for great service, selling dressing, yummy cookies, and the garbage salad. :)

I just happened to be passing through the area and this place had some great reviews and a high rating so I decided to give it a shot. The area is nice like a little downtown area. Parking is mainly on the street. There is a lot directly next door however, I think is residential. There is a sign in the lot that any violators would be towed. The place looks great on the inside, like place that could be a regular hang out spot. I just ordered a carry out seeing as I was just passing through. The service was friendly I got he pork-belly BLT. I love pork belly and have a high standard for how it's cooked. I did not like this sandwich at all. The pork belly was cold and tough like jerky, it was very hard to chew. I'm use to pork belly having a crispy crust and almost just melting in your mouth. I suppose it could have been an off day for the cook. The spicy mayo was great, the vegetables were good and tasted very fresh. The meal came with a bag of chips and the advacodo was extra. Because of the great reviews I would try again and just will stay clear of the pork belly.

Vegan garbage salad was better than expected ! I'm passing by Toledo from NY and this met my standards :). Thank you to Casey for walking around and ensuring everyone was happy with their order. Love that we found this little gem in Toledo.

Good sandwiches but they are a little on the pricey side. Service was descent but the Mac and cheese I ordered took a long time to arrive. Maybe I'd go back another time.

Grumpy's on the go! I've eaten in Grumpy's and had a pleasant meal. My husband and I had our picture taken to go on the wall. I had the jackfruit "pulled pork" sandwich and he had something with a lot of meat in it. We both enjoyed our meal. Today, I had an opportunity to try Grumpy's on the go. I always love food truck day and was happy to see them. They have a great plant based menu and had the same great options on they're food truck! I had the plant based garbage salad which was delicious. At first I thought it was a little pricey, but when It was more than I could finish, I found the price point was just right AND they came to me, so I was able to save time which is valuable. I'm looking forward to trying the eggplant BLT on my next visit.

In from Columbus and was so excited to go back to where my daughter and son-in-law had their rehearsal dinner 21 years ago. Ordered two vegan southwest salads and they came with cheese, and stale corn chips so had to reorder. The Nantucket salad with grilled chicken (very good) and fresh fruit. only had 6 blueberries and one medium strawberry sliced into 5 slivers. A huge salad, but mostly iceberg lettuce for $17.50! Disappointed.

went to Grumpy's for the firstime yesterday. absolutely hands down great food. wait staff friendly and work as a team so you never want for anything. The place was spotless despite the noon lunch hour rush. The atmosphere in the dining room with tall ceilings and brick faced walls was very cool. Atmosphere near the bathrooms not so much...but clean ....we loved this place and will be back!!

We decided to try something other than Pacos on the way back to Detroit and am super glad that we did. It was not easy to find with all the construction, but there is ample parking. It gets a good lunch trade, but it was raining and we had no problem getting a seat. My Babalu (Grumpy's take on a Cuban sandwich was excellent. The roast pork was full of flavor and I really enjoyed the lime and garlic mayo. The cole slaw was also good. The chicken deluxe was also spot on. This restaurant is also vegetarian friendly and next time I will try the Beyond Burger if it's still around.

I love when I take out my trusty Yelp App and ask for help, and it leads me to an awesome establishment. Today was that day. I typed in healthy food nearby and Grumpy's pops up! A place that was actually on my radar, but sadly hadn't made the effort to get there. Today I made the effort. With my mother and daughter also in tow, we traveled only 1 mile to our lunch destination. We got there just in time to take advantage of the free afternoon parking. Yes! Once inside I quickly discovered that this was thee lunch spot. It was very busy. For a minute I thought we would have to wait, but seconds later we were taken to our table. The menu has a little bit of everything. There were tons of options for the health conscious such as gluten-free, meat alternatives, and plant-based menu items. I order the Homemade Sweet Potato Vegan Burger that came on a whole wheat bun with Avocado, Red Onion & Dijon mustard. Yummmmm! It came with a side of delicious Kale Chips! My mother had the Ivan's Veggie Burger. It was noted that it was the best veggie burger in Toledo. We both agreed that may be true. That veggie bread it was on was amazing! I wanted a loaf to take home! My daughter ordered the Tony's Turkey Burger, which also had Avocado, Red Onion & Dijon mustard on it. She ate every single morsel! We all agreed that we must return very soon. Grumpy's on the Go is located in the heart of Downtown Toledo. Check their website for their food truck locations and hours.

Well, unfortunately what was once an institution, serving awesome food, has been taken over by a new owner, and it's very clear that if continuing on the current plan, it's gonna be history, and fast. The only item worth buying is the garbage salad. What a shame that everything else that we ordered wasn't anything like it was before. Good luck Toledo with this one... Another gem headed towards an unfortunate demise.

Went back to Grumpy's today after not having been there for about 10 years. Took my husband (his first trip to Toledo!). This institution is as good as ever. You've gotta love the consistency! I had my old standby of egg salad. My hubby had the hamburger. Daughter had the lox, mom had the pork belly BLT and dad had the Sawbuck. As usual, all of the sandwiches were excellent. My husband eats burgers everywhere and he raved about this one. Of course we had to do dessert (why come to Grumpy's if you're not going to eat dessert??) and it was fabulous. Had the chocolate banana cream pie and the coconut cream. Both were great as usual. It's nice to see that some things never change!

I have come to the conclusion that Toledo is not exactly a foodie's paradise. With that being said, I wanted to visit at least one good restaurant during my short stay, so I came to Grumpy's on my last day in town. Ordered the full size garbage salad. Best way to describe this is a casear salad with 3 additional cheeses, grilled chicken, candied bacon, raisins and tomatoes. Of course it has poppyseed dressing, instead of cesear. One word: Delicious. I can see how this is a very successful, hopping business in downtown.

Stopped here for lunch on a Thursday and the place was packed with the lunch crowd. We waited about 10 minutes, not bad. The parking lot was full, but if you can find a spot In street it is free from 11am-2pm. Great sandwiches and salads. It's a great place in downtown Toledo. Recommend the garbage salad and Rueben.

I ordered the turkey club on bun. The burger was good, just could not grasp what all the hype is about. I was waiting for that wow moment, well it never came. My burger came with a handful of Ruffles potato chips and a pickle, more like what I would have at a picnic or birthday party. With so many good restaurants in Toledo, hard to justify $12 for the burger. After drink, tip and tax, not sure $20 for a burger is worth the value. I liked the décor and my waitress was professional, just the value wasn't there for me.

While I don't really have anything personally against grumpy's their hours are very very short and they don't seem to very convenient for anybody downtown it's a surprise me how they still stay in business even though their garbage salad is excellent please extend your hours or have some night time hours for the people of us who work thank you

Stopped for lunch near closing today and was not only welcomed, but served by the owner! AND, it was HER birthday! She definitely goes out of her way to be there for her customers. We had the amazing garbage salad and the yummy veggie sandwich. Also enjoyed delicious homemade cookies afterwards. Although we were last to leave, no one rushed us! And we were thanked for coming in. Class act all the way! Highly recommend this Toledo staple!

Heading back from Detroit we decided to stop in Toledo for an early lunch on our way to Kentucky. On the map search popped Grumpys, and oh my, what a great leap of faith to stop instead of just grabbing some fast food off the expressway! So worth the added time to our travel. Their chicken soup is truly the best homemade soup I've ever had and my husband's chili was delicious as well. Then came the grilled chicken sandwich and we were in for a treat! Simply wonderful!

Stopped in for lunch with a friend when we were in Toledo for a conference. Saw the great reviews and we were NOT disappointed! The atmosphere was social as the tables are close together. It is a breakfast/lunch spot, so this was not bothersome. The decor made good use of the older downtown building with exposed brick walls and the high ceiling. This did make it a bit loud. Don't expect to come in and have confidential business conversations. The food was some of the BEST deli food I've ever had. When I looked at the menu, there wasn't a thing I didn't want to try. The combinations of ingredients all sounded tasty. My friend is gluten free and was able to get her Rueben on gluten-free bread. I ordered the O ring sandwich which came on an everything bagel. When our food came out, it was fresh, flavorful and absolutely delicious! Looking at my friend's bread, and she agreed, it was some of the softest, fluffiest gluten-free bread I've ever seen. I checked out others plates and they looked good as well. There was a case of very tempting looking desserts as we walked out. Good thing for my waistline we had to get back to our conference. The service was very quick and friendly. The restaurant itself was clean. I'd highly recommend Grumpy's!

Garbage Salad. TO-GO. A large was more than enough to fill me up for lunch that day, and the following day. Because it doesn't matter if your breath reeks of red onions afterwards. And no, chewing 3 pieces of your favorite gum doesn't really make it go away. So try to cover all your daily conversations in the morning before your lunch break. Ordered a couple of salads for pick-up on a weekday lunch rush for myself and the coworkers who absolutely adore this place. Experience was super smooth- guy who took my order was overwhelmingly friendly even in the middle of the rush- and was very patient with me when I kept calling to add-on orders. They have ample parking in the a lot and in the street which is a plus. You also get a free cookie if you check-in on Yelp or Foursquare! Place looked really lively and hospitable. I shall return...to try it all.

I love the garbage salad - it is my favorite & the cookies and sandwiches are good too - but when the truck came to our workplace - all the garbage salads were lined up on a table with the cookies, etc. Since I have a late lunch I wondered how long they had been sitting out and the girl who worked there said almost 2 1/2 hours!!! I asked her why she did that and she said she didn't want to run back and forth to the refrigerated truck - I was not about to eat a salad with chicken, cheese and bacon that sat out almost 3 hours! So, unless I can be assured that that would not happen again, I am not buying from there again - that's just food. safety 101

I love Grumpy's. I have been here a few times and each time it has been wonderful. The ambiance is homey, but not too small and tight. There is plenty of seating...and they have wifi with outlets behind just about every table so that you can plug in devices, just in case. The service is top notch and I have never been disappointed. At the same time, though, there isn't someone at your table in your face constantly asking if you want something. The menu has tons of selections...anything you can have a taste for, they probably have it. Even when they have been busy, they have moved quite smoothly and I have never had to wait long, or at all. I finally tried a cheeseburger last week. It was OUTSTANDING! The way the meat was seasoned was delicious and the bun was just right, soft, buttery, and not soggy. I have had a few of their deli sandwiches and salads before and all tasted perfectly fresh and were stacked perfectly. Their potato salad is good...almost like eating it at home with the redskin potatoes. They have soooo much on the menu that I look forward to visiting to try more.

A fun, spontaneous lunch at Grumpy's left us very un-grumpy and extremely satisfied with our experience! Great atmosphere and wait staff, the food came out in record time even though the restaurant was full, and so so many vegan options! I had the Rachael (a Grumpy's take on the classic Rueben) and my friend got the Eggplant "BLT". Both were very good. We will definitely be going back!

Can't say enough about Grumpy's, would give it 6 stars if that were possible. First of all, greeted by a friendly waitress that noticed that I was looking at vegan choices on the board and ran right away to get me a complete vegan menu. Even without the extensive vegan menu there were many vegetarian options on the regular menu (I'm vegetarian, not vegan). So much to choose from! I selected the sweet potato veggie burger and added vegan eggplant bacon, it came with kale chips. I found Grumpy's to be a nice, clean, roomy, not too noisy place in a good location. I found our waitress to be very helpful, kind, and really friendly. Seems like it would be a nice environment to work in. On your first visit you get a free home-made cookie which was yummy.

Grumpy's is ideally located for breakfast before an afternoon Mud Hens game. I was in town with a friend and we stopped here for breakfast. The menu has a few offbeat items as well as your standards. I went with the Shorty (breakfast sandwich) and my friend had the French Toast with ham. My sandwich was good but I was jealous of that French Toast. Service was friendly and prompt. I meant to go back for those awesome looking cookies but didn't make it after the game. I plan to eventually make it back to Toledo as well as Grumpy's. But next time for lunch.

I am in healthcare NOT PHARMACEUTICAL. i ordeded grumpy's salad and a sandwich platter for 15 people. Expecting it to be around 11-12-13.00 per person. Firts. 2 huge overflowing bowls of salad that would feed 50 people was delivered with a sandwich platter. Cost? A whopping 488.75. You have taken me to the clearners Grumpy's and should be ashamed for not knowing portion control and charge that much. Asside from the foam plates, plastic ware and napkins. Most of this will NOT go on my expense report but will be picked up by me. Shame on me for not asking ahead and just assuming the charge would be what is usually charged in Toledo, and double shame on you Grumpy's. The lady who delivered said it was because grated cheese went up they had to raise their prices. Seriously. That's what she said. Never, never, never, again.

Wow, Wow, Wow! I rarely go downtown for lunch places, so a shop that closes at 2 p.m. is not somewhere I would typically stop for lunch. I did however stop in there last week as a coworker and I had to be in the area in the morning. We both had sandwiches, chips and a pickle. The food was great, it came out quickly and we were treated amazingly by our waitress despite it being standing room only in the place. She still checked in on us several times. She suggested we try the jalapeno mayo instead of the traditional. It was a FANTASTIC addition to the flavors. My only complaint, we both had water, and it was a bit warm, despite being full of ice. I'm not sure what it is, other than it likely came from a tap and wasn't refrigerated or out of a chilled machine. Not a huge deal, but just enough to not call it a perfect 5 star spot. Not enough to stop me from ever coming back.

Excellent place for lunch. In town from Cincinnati and searched for a good place for lunch on Google maps. This placed lived up to the hype!!

Grumpy's is so good that I've considered moving back to Toledo just so I can have their sandwhiches on a consistent basis. Oh, and the apple pie.... I have never had an apple pie that is anywhere as good as Grumpy's. I have a hard time eating dessert anywhere else because it doesn't even come close. I can't wait for my next trip to Toledo! Also, great ambiance and location.

The garbage salad is pretty good! I don't usually like raisins in my salad but they taste pretty good in the salad. They put a lot of dressing on it so next time I'll probably ask for the dressing on the side. But the dressing is delicious! The chili was pretty good but didn't taste very homemade to me. I'm not sure how to describe it but the tomato taste seemed very canned as opposed to homemade. It's not very kid friendly because they don't really have much on their kid menu- I think they only had 3 items on it. They do give free cookies to kids! The great thing is that they have a private parking lot. Seems like a great place to eat on a lunch break if you work downtown!

Most of the bases on this happening Toledo breakfast, brunch, and lunch spot have already been covered, so I will be brief: it is far, far too easy to get attached to one sandwich or one salad at this place. They use quality ingredients and it's all so well-executed you may find yourself ordering the same sandwich every week. I had the great fortune of spraining my ankle last night and a friend decided to surprise me with lunch. She randomly picked the Hye Roller. How many times have I looked over that item, only to roll my eyes at the cranberry sauce on the side, and go to my standard order? Holy cow, this sandwich is delicious. My other favorite is the O-Ring. I think I'm just going to start ordering mystery sandwiches here until I eat my way through their menu.

Great sandwiches. My fav is the pinwheel sandwich and my friend loves the garbage salad. I like their garbage cookie. I wish they were open on weekends.
