Little Grill; Lots to Love!I demand every JMU student have at least one experience at The Little Grill restaurant downtown. After several weeks of Kellogg’s Life cereal with questionable milk as my main source of nutrition, a friend of mine suggested we head to The Little Grill for breakfast.
They weren’t kidding about the name. It is a tiny restaurant but with an awesome retro-diner atmosphere. Opening the door, I feel like I stepped back in time. There is history dripping all over the walls and bookshelves from old knick-knacks, and star wars action figures, books, and even posters of Bob Dylan for display.
If the free-spirited decorum doesn’t convince you, the food and prices sure will. Everything on the menu is $10 or under. There is something for everyone from vegans to the carnivores. I ordered coffee and Beth’s favorite – two eggs scrambled with all sorts of veggies. My friend ordered a breakfast sandwich on a bagel. However they offer omelets, pancakes and smoothies! Fresh, satisfying, amazing, and do not even begin to describe the experience. It was just like a home-cooked meal only better!
I was able to uncover some really interesting history about the Little Grill. They are a worker-owned-collective, which means all employees/ members own the restaurant. They are extremely adamant on sustainability and supporting local business, from free-range meat, fair-trade coffee and teas, to purchasing local produce.
Don’t forget a vegan chocolate-chip cookie for dessert!
