Review: Grampa's Bakery & Restaurant

One thing you will quickly realize about me is that I am an avid viewer of the food network. Appropriate, right?

One of my favorite shows is Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives -- I always trust Guy Fieri's judgment. There is nothing like delicious food at a low cost. I saw an episode about a diner, and according to Google Maps, it happened to be 24 minutes from my house; I went two days later.

Grampa's Bakery & Restaurant is located at 17 Southwest 1st Street, Dania Beach, FL 33004 -- and their food is AWESOME.

Let me just start off by saying that it's a total dive... but I love that.  The staff is so friendly it's ridiculous, and the food comes out quickly, fresh, and even better -- homemade. Everything is from scratch.

Their menu is vast. Choose an option from their breakfast, lunch, dinner or dessert section.

Bring people with you and share multiple dishes. That's what I did! I enjoyed the lamb shank, spaghetti with sausage and peppers and a short stack. This was all ordered before we realized they gave you complementary kaiser rolls and strawberry cream cheese pastries... so good.

The lamb shank was so tender it was falling off the bone, the sauce on the spaghetti was well-spiced, and the fluffiness of the pancakes was highly enjoyable.

How much did all of this cost, you ask? Not too shabby.

Before you leave, take a look at their appetizing and large selection of baked goodies. They'll even make your wedding cake. Aww....

Some pastries are a bit over-priced, but others are relatively cheap. I tried a few of them and they were all yummy. You can buy them, before you pay up front. That's how they get you!
  

Give them a call at (954) 923-2163, if you want. I'd just show up, though. That's what most people do....

Would I go back? That's not even a question. The appropriate one is "When?"

Keep Grubbin',
