Really tasty new diner in the old Friendly's location on Tuckahoe Rd.
I've been waiting to try this place for a while now and they finally opened. I stopped in for breakfast and it was delicious. It's set up pretty much the same as the Friendly's, but much cleaner. The service is very attentive and like any good diner, the food comes quickly.
I decided on the Italian omelette, which is filled with sausage, mozzarella and tomatoes. It came with home fries and toast. The omelette was great, the sausage was delicious and it all fell into place wonderfully. The home fries were great, they had the thin slices of potato that kind of melt in your mouth.
I'm really looking forward to going back soon. The food was great and the place itself is really nice.
Like every diner, the Grassy Sprain has pros and cons. Let me start with the pros. The staff is always friendly to me. I work nearby so I come in often since I don't own a car. Out of the three times I've been here – the staff has always been friendly and approachable. You can tell it is family run and Greek oriented. I have never had a problem with any of them. The breakfast food is MUCH better than the dinner food. The pancakes are good for a diner. It is sad that many diners fail at frying a pancake but they actually make a good short stack here. The french toast was also good and so was the bacon. Overall, I had a good breakfast experience here and the service was quick.
However, the dinner isn't the best quality (or maybe it was the food I tried.) The chicken wings tasted under cooked – had a weird aftertaste and so did the sauce. My boyfriend's burger was a beef patty. Not fresh – nothing special. The fries were soggy. My french onion soup was bland and the cheese had no flavor. My friend had a pastrami sandwich and enjoyed it.
Overall, it's an OK experience. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone but it's not horrible for something quick if you are close by.
