​What’s for breakfast, what’s for breakfast that is all I hear every Saturday and Sunday mornings. I don’t know about you but this Grumpy gal is like can’t you just find something and let me sleep in? Well instead of listening to me one day the boys decided it was time for me to get my Grumpy butt out of bed and head over to a new restaurant that they have been dying to try right here on Cr210. 

You guessed it!  Grumpys!  Home of the bad mood dude!  A Family owned restaurant that has been serving Orange Park for years and has now expanded over to our area!  Well the minute I stepped inside I knew that “Grumpy” was not happening here! The staff was so friendly and welcoming and the place was warm and bustling with lots of gaieties and wonderful smells.  Our waitress Jess wasted no time in coming over and happily served this no longer grumpy gal some fresh flavored coffee of the day, Crème Brule – it was so rich and creamy it instantly put a smile on my face.  

As I perused thru the menu I was pleasantly surprised at the abundant choices.  There’s Grumpy Breakfasts, Grumpy Brunches, Grumpy lunches and anything in between. Which for me is perfect because sometimes I want lunch for breakfast, I know I’m a bit weird like that. 

But on this particular morning I was looking for something special so I asked Jess what one of the favorites was. And much to my surprise it was their Fried Chicken Benedict. So I was like here we go, Breakfast and Lunch all rolled into one! Sounds like a plan to me!

Not your typical benedict for sure! Before my eyes appeared one of the flakiest homemade biscuits you’ll ever taste, lightly battered fried chicken a perfectly cooked poached egg all oozing with a spicy buffalo hollandaise on top.  I mean come on biscuits, chicken, egg and creamy buffalo sauce!  I couldn’t stuff it into my mouth fast enough! The warmth of the chicken and biscuit, along with the sumptuous egg topped off with a sauce that had the perfect amount of heat.  You can say it..YUM!

So as you know most southerners have a love for cinnamon buns, creamy nutty doughy goodness. At Grumpy’s they have out did themselves with their Cinnamon Bun pancake creation. Who wouldn’t want to delve into a plate full of large made to order fluffy pancakes filled with walnuts topped off with rich creamy icing, powdered sugar and an entire cinnamon bun!   I know my boys were in heaven and there was plenty to share!  Along with their fresh squeezed orange juice (it’s a really cool machine they use and fun to watch!) The boys were set! Well at least for the next few hours.

hanks for sharing the article, and more importantly, your personal experience of mindfully using our emotions as data about our inner state and knowing when it’s better to de-escalate by taking a time out are great tools. Appreciate you reading and sharing your story since I can certainly relate and I think others can to
