A Not So Grumpy Legacy.

Grumpy’s Restaurant is far more than a local breakfast, lunch and brunch favorite. They are also known for their amazing employees, some of which have been with the company for nearly 20 years. What is better than long-term tenured employees who love the company and brand they work for? Three generations of them! Meet “The Grumpy’s Queens!” Mrs. Margie (mother), Jackie (daughter) and Stephanie (granddaughter). They proudly represent three generations and all love working together at Grumpy’s Restaurant.

True Family.

Grumpy’s Restaurant takes the term “family” serious, as it is embedded in who they are and what they represent. You can see this in every aspect of the brands culture, mission and vision. “Grumpy’s Restaurant was born out of passion and love for bringing family and friends together over great diner food. Our commitment and mission are to deliver the highest quality dining experience at an affordable price for families everywhere. All while closing at 2:00PM, providing the ultimate family, work and life balance.”

The Official Grumpy’s Restaurant Brand Ambassador.

Mrs. Margie has been a staple at Grumpy’s Restaurant since its move to Kingsley Avenue back in 2000. As a longtime resident of Orange Park, FL some have even titled her as, “The Unofficial Mayor of Orange Park!” Every weekend you can find Mrs. Margie’s amazing smile greeting guests as they arrive, giving countless hugs and chatting with old and new guests alike. If you ask why she has been working at Grumpy’s for so long, she will tell you, “Grumpy’s is my family, I love my coworkers like my own children and family, but most of all, I enjoy seeing all the familiar faces of our customers every weekend.”

Although, Grumpy’s has evolved over the years, some things have not changed, such as Mrs. Margie’s hard work and dedication. Why hasn’t she retired, you may ask? “This is the best Grumpy’s Restaurant has been since I’ve been involved. I want to be part of the best Grumpy’s yet!” Mrs. Margie said.  

Margie 2.o.

This Not So Grumpy’s Family Legacy continues on with Jackie, Mrs. Margie’s daughter. She has been working for Grumpy’s since 2001, a year longer than her mother. They both love working together and they have known some of Grumpy’s regular customers since their previous employment in Orange Park, dating back to 1996. Grumpy’s patrons have seen Jackie grow, not only with the company, but from a young adult to a mother and grandmother, herself.  

Jackie 2.0.

“Why would I work anywhere else?”, said Stephanie, Jackie’s daughter who currently closes out this, Not So Grumpy Family Legacy. During high school, she became part of the Grumpy’s family, first starting as a hostess and then serving tables. As time flew by, Stephanie graduated high school and then college. She then went on to become a teacher here in Clay County, all while serving tables at Grumpy’s on the weekends and off time from teaching.
