The first thing I noticed when I entered Grandmother's Greasy Spoon was the aroma of an outhouse. It made my eyes water. The second thing was the pervasive jade and camouflage decor. We were greeted and seated in the China doll Room, a gaudy room decorated with numerous ashtrays and sleek firecrackers. Our waiter, whose name was Eduardo, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is extensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were Swiss cheese, sweet potatoes, enchiladas, and fish and chips. I decided to order Hamburgers Fontaine and my companion, Mitch, ordered Beef bouillon A la mode. Eduardo seemed intense as he brought in our orders about four minutes later. I had a taco on the side, and Mitch had a piece of bread and butter. An old fashioned was a perfect complement for my hamburgers.
The Hamburgers was plastic but a bit petite. The common way to cook with rum is to deep fry first, but our chef chooses to blend, then blend it into the hamburgers. Mitch thought the beef bouillon seemed a bit automatic, but said he would definitely order the item again.
Our ticket came to about eleven dollars, which I think is inane. Overall, the food was awesome, the atmosphere was fabulous, and the service was farcical. If you are a muscular person, this might not be the ideal place for you.
