Tennessee Grill

Go back in time to a diner built in the 1950s with standard diner offerings plus more unique finds like Irish breakfasts and British bangers. Staff is friendly and service is efficient. This is the old school place where you find morning patrons watching cable news on the TV or reading the morning paper over hot coffee.

It's definitely a neighborhood spot! If you know, you know! The atmosphere is what you would expect from a neighborhood spot. I went here to meet up with my big sister to have a little food before we went to the beach to sprinkle our mother's ashes. If you know our family, it was NOT a somber occasion! We laughed, we gossiped, and we ate some great food! I had their traditional Irish Style breakfast with Black & White pudding, Irish bacon, Banger, and eggs... Incredible! Their staff are very attentive and super friendly! Whether you find yourself in the area or live in the area, and you want some down-to-earth, great food, this is your spot! Afterward, we went to the beach behind the Cliff House, spread our mother's ashes, and re-itterated our goodbyes. (This is the view from where we spread our mother's ashes.)

Expensive. Not much food for the price. The waitress checks back only when bringing the bill. I had to go find her each time I needed something. They are all very nice, just no follow up. They have a unique spin on classics. Ex: Meatloaf, Philly steak and cheese looks nothing like one would expect. Side salads have lettuce, garbanzo beans, carrots, & beets. Roomy place. Metered street parking. Very nice people.

This place is unassuming but surprising. When we were staying for a week nearby, I almost passed it up because from its exterior did not look like much. I am glad I didn't. The diner-stye interior is nothing fancy but they do classics really well. My husband had french toast with 2 over easy eggs and sausages on the side. The sausages were juicy and full of flavor. The eggs were done perfectly and made a great pairing for the french toast with maple syrup. The only lackluster item were the hash browns which did not have as much flavor but we realized we should have had it with the eggs and toast vs on its own. What's interesting is that this place also serves non-traditional items such as ox tail stew, which I tried. The meat was super tender and very tasty. The whole vibe of the place is like the long-standing community spot. Looked like it had many regulars who had been coming for years.
