If you have a craving, he has your solution.

Grover Taylor - Owner, Eat at Jumbo's: "If you crave it, I got it."

His name is Grover. And his restaurant is named Eat at Jumbo's.

Grover Taylor - Owner, Eat at Jumbo's: "If you like to eat, Eat at Jumbo's."

Located in Ball Square Somerville, Eat at Jumbo's serves the kinds of foods you crave. Oversized subs, piping hot pizzas, and all kinds of fries.

Grover Taylor - Owner, Eat at Jumbo's: "It's good food man. It's what most people wake up and say hey I want a cheeseburger today, I want some big juicy fat wings."

Just about all the food at Jumbo's really is jumbo. Burgers weigh in at half a pound, like the Sizzle Burger topped with peppers and onions. For two bucks more you can double the meat and make it a one pound Mammoth burger. And if you want fries with that, they've got you covered.

Grover Taylor - Owner, Eat at Jumbo's: "Regular French Fry, spicy French fry, buffalo ranch French fry, cheese fries, gravy fries."

Wing lovers hit the jackpot at Jumbo's, with thirty different flavors, all tossed to order, from Buffalo, to General Gau, to Maple Barbecue.

Grover Taylor - Owner, Eat at Jumbo's: "It's from my home state of Vermont. We take real Vermont Maple Syrup and blend it with our homemade barbecue sauce."

For something even sweeter, take you taste buds on a trip with the Teriyaki Pineapple wings.

Grover Taylor - Owner, Eat at Jumbo's: "Picture a day on the beach in Hawaii. It's a very sweet, delicious flavor."

Eat at Jumbo's is a place where you can eat some pizza too. Like the jumbo eighteen inch Family Man pizza, loaded up with steak and potatoes.

Grover Taylor - Owner, Eat at Jumbo's: "It's like eating a whole family dinner right on one slice."

If you're craving something warm, gooey, and soft, after a hard night, try the Steazy Cheesy Garlic Sticks.

Grover Taylor - Owner, Eat at Jumbo's: "We'd come home and we'd have a long day and everybody would say, 'look we need something for our hangover.' And Steazy Cheesy Garlic Sticks will handle any hangover you have."

Sounds great, but what the heck does 'Steazy' mean?

Grover Taylor - Owner, Eat at Jumbo's: "Steazy means delicious, and tasty, and awesome, just plain awesome."

Eat at Jumbo's is named after the Tufts University mascot, but jumbo also refers the size of just about everything on the menu, because this place serves up elephant sized portions for peanuts. And speaking of peanuts, every customer can help themselves to Jumbo's jar of free circus peanuts while they wait.

Grover Taylor - Owner, Eat at Jumbo's: "Everybody who comes in eats one, and they either love 'em or hate 'em."

Actually a lot of people hate them, and think these old school snacks taste more like Styrofoam, but Grover thinks they’re groovy.

Grover Taylor - Owner, Eat at Jumbo's: "Banana, bubble gum, delicious, yummy. Everybody should eat one."

And you should Eat at Jumbo's.
