Grumpy’s Restaurant Looking in St. Augustine for Next Site

Grumpy’s Restaurant , an award-winning full-service Americana breakfast, lunch, and brunch diner, continues expanding in Northeast Florida with its sights on St. Augustine .

With business thriving at their five Jacksonville area locations, Grumpy’s Restaurant is looking to continue its growth in the market, according to a recent press release . The new St. Augustine location has no exact opening date, considering the company, led by CEO and President Daniel DeLeon , is searching for the perfect site, which will occupy approximately 2,800 square feet of real estate and have approximately 120 seats. Customers can expect delicious food and a quality family atmosphere when it opens.

The traditional full-service Americana breakfast diner has been successfully serving the Jacksonville community since 1999 and has been franchising since 2019. With popular locations in Orange Park, Middleburg, St. John’s, Neptune Beach, and Wildlight (Yulee), the brand is now looking to expand into nearby St. Augustine. With a strong population growth in the area since the most recent census, Grumpy’s Restaurant is confident the coastal and historic city is the perfect place for its expansion efforts.

“We have been honored with the incredible reception from our home community here in Jacksonville,” DeLeon said in a press release. “We treat our customers like family, and we want to bring Grumpy’s to areas that reflect those values. When it comes to our expansion, we focus on locations with a strong sense of community that embody what we stand for.”

With five open locations in Jacksonville, Grumpy’s prides itself on made-to-order and always-made-from-scratch comfort food and sweet southern hospitality, all at a working-class price. Grumpy’s serves breakfast, lunch, and brunch along with an array of daily and weekly chalkboard specials, which include a variety of waffles, pancakes, omelets, sandwiches, homemade soups, salads, signature coffee, freshly squeezed juices, homemade hot chocolate, and desserts.
