Grammy’s Goodies — Restaurant in Wheat Ridge

I. Loved. It. From the minute I walked in until the minute I walked out, this was one of the most warm and inviting dining experiences I’ve probably ever had. The owners Grammy(Vicki) and George greeted us right as we stepped through the door, and took great care of us the entire time. She even gave my daughter a little Paw Patrol lip balm ❤️

Everything about this place says FAMILY. The napkin holders on the tables all had different pictures of them with their kids and grandkids which I loved. Grammy welcomed everyone that walked in, asked how their meal was, or that she hoped they really enjoyed their meals to go, and that she’d take really good care of them as she took their orders.

This husband and wife are two people that truly care about their customers and giving people a great experience.

We ordered a meatball ribbon noodle pasta, and chicken fettuccini Alfredo, and she asked if it was our first time in, which it was, so we got free garlic knots as well.

The garlic knots were massive(think the size of a Cinnabon), and the entrees were very generous too, and everything was hot, fresh, and delicious!

Just as we were beginning to get full, and without me asking, she brought out to go boxes, a wax bag and to go sauce cup for the knots and sauce and a paper bag to put it all in. All of the materials were eco friendly and recyclable as well which was really cool.

Then we went to look at the desert case and oh my gosh-everything looked incredible! It was so so hard to narrow down what we wanted but we ended up choosing this chocolate cake that a slice took up an entire to go box, and strawberry mousse cheesecake to go.

So for 2 entrees, 2 drinks, and 2 different desserts it was $70 bucks, and for the portion sizes, quality of the food, and most definitely for the atmosphere and such kind and friendly service-it was worth every penny! ❤️

We loved it so much and will...

This is a wonderful place to eat! It is a hole in the wall that looks like a daycare center as you approach it even until you open the front door.

They are under construction currently and have about half a dozen small tables inside and another half a dozen outside. If you plan to come during prime eating times, expect to wait to be seated.

That being said, the food is amazing. My wife is Italian and this reminded her a lot of foods from her own family when growing up. We had the garlic knots as an appetizer. They are huge! There are six of them with a marinara dipping sauce that is to die for. That is enough food for just a meal in and of itself! They are free if it's your first time there. If you have a party of two, you will definitely be taking most of these home.

My wife had the giant ravioli with meatballs and was in heaven. I had the lasagna and it was huge! We each took slightly over half of our dinners home for leftovers.

They have a case full of sweets like cannolis, cookies and more. We bought some cookies to take home but certainly did not have enough room to eat any dessert after dinner.

I also had a black cherry Italian soda. I've never had an Italian soda before. The whipped cream appeared to be homemade underneath that were cubes of ice and then the Italian soda and then at the bottom the black cherry syrup. The syrup was really good. And perhaps I should have stirred it up before drinking all of the syrup right away LOL.

If you love authentic Italian food, you have to come here. They were recently featured this year on an episode of Diners, Drive Ins and Dives with Guy Fieri which you can find on tik Tok in several parts. That is how we found...

I don't get disappointed often. The hype of this place is overblown. Could be renamed Grammy's Dough Haven.

Many of the goodies displayed had no pricing. Odd to not know the price and it was busy to ask. It was fully staffed with people running around in the background. But didn't see a purpose for it.

Customer service was inconsistent and lacking. Staff member at register was abrupt and unpleasant to some, nice and sweet to others. Specifically offered 'first-time customers' free garlic knots to some, others had no mention.

I understand pricing is high nowadays, but many of the items are way overpriced for 'homemade.' Maybe the recognition garnered from television feature was incentive to raise the prices because 'people will pay.'

Garlic knots were mainly undercooked and doughy, poorly seasoned with scant garlic or parmesean flavor. The order was a tangle of 'knots,' more like a mess of rolls.

Stromboli was massive with a brick of sausage inside. The sauce on the side was good. Massive meaning layered dough. Hardly cheese.

Although I realized what I ordered was a heap of dough with meat, as a first time customer I felt so rushed and my one question had a snapped answer. Add the bready garlic knots and it was too much gluten. The flimsy stryfoam container was too small for all that bread.

If you want a carb, judgy, bread-heavy experience, check this place out. I will not be returning nor recommend it to anyone, although the pricy pizzelles were good to choke down at about $1 a piece. I like to support local businesses. I did here once. Not a nice place to make customers feel good.

Don't go. You'll be...
