No, well kind of. The last owner, Diane Smitherman, was trying to sell it. She actually had to change the name to the Restaurant On Grumble's Alley when she bought it from the Strickland's. They wanted to keep the name if they opened another place somewhere else. Anyways, Diane thought she had it sold so she closed it and the seller backed out. Diane then went down the street a block towards the bridge and opened Side Porch Sandwiches. It is the same basic menu as Grumbles without the big entrees. They are only opened during lunch so it is really mostly sandwiches, which are good. They are open on Fridays until about 8PM or so.

During the 1990 school protests I was assigned to protect Henry Pitts so I had to eat lunch every day with Mayor Smitherman, Diane's father, and Henry. After I realized this was going to be an everyday thing for awhile I decided to try a new sandwich every day. I made it through the menu with ease. My favorite was, and still is, the sausage/ pepperjack. Grilled sausage, pepperjack cheese with spicy mustard and pepper jelly. Sounds odd but is very tasty.

More info than you asked for, huh?
