Photo of Grumpy's Restaurant, East Dennis, MA (Cape Cod) Cape Cod is full of fun, interesting restaurants of all kinds, from rustic seafood shacks to elegant Italian bistros. Indeed, it is often difficult to choose where to eat on the cape, as there are just so many places from which to choose. If you want a tip on a great place to go that is a bit unknown and out of the way, think about going to Grumpy's Restaurant in East Dennis, a favorite of Boston's Hidden Restaurants that is extremely popular with locals, but virtually unknown to tourists.

Grumpy's is located in a plain-looking one-story structure on scenic Route 6A between Dennis and East Dennis. It is easy to miss, as most people's eyes gravitate toward the beauty of the old homes, bucolic marshlands, and charming antique stores along Route 6A. But while Grumpy's may not look like the most charming place on Cape Cod, it is a mellow, comfortable spot with lots of elbow room inside, and carpeting that keeps the volume at a decent level.

Grumpy's is a big hit with people who like to start their day with a hearty breakfast--pancakes, omelettes, eggs benedict (including a great version with crabcakes) and waffles can be had at reasonable prices. Grumpy's is also a wonderful spot to go if you like sandwiches. Some of the better ones include the tuna melt, the monte cristo, and the pastrami sandwich (when they have it). And don't ignore the macaroni and cheese, as it is about the best of its kind, and ridiculously cheap.

Grumpy's Restaurant is by no means a fancy place, but it is a terrific spot to go to for breakfast or lunch, and a place where families and senior citizens can feel comfortable at. Definitely try to get to Grumpy's if you can, as it is a special breakfast and lunch spot that also happens to be on one of the most beautiful roads in Massachusetts.
