The Grit is a definite classic in the Classic City and ever so often I have to make a pilgrimage to get a Golden Bowl with veggies and cheese... delicious!!! I've never had an issue with the service, but then again I always avoid the weekend brunch; the options are limited and usually bland and worst of all... I can't... More

Some dishes are better than others here. I have been many times - not by my choice - my friends seem to like it. My experience is that if you stick with the typical diner fare, things tend to be pretty delicious: sandwiches, "burgers," omelets, and their cakes are awesome.

The Grit is my favorite vegan restaurant. Great food, awsome flavors to experience and an atmosphere that is down to earthy.

Fairly organic, veggie kind of place, but a nice change from burgers. Price is reasonable and dessert offerings (various cakes) looked great!

The Grit does one thing [vegetarian/vegan cuisine] and they do it right. My fiance is a meat-eater and fairly picky, and he thoroughly enjoyed our meal here. He had the grilled cheese [which... More

This restaurant may not be for everyone, but I love places like this; unpretentious with great food and nice wait staff. Eating with a carnivore, a vegan, and a low-fat eating vegetarian, we all found items that we enjoyed on the menu. They even gave me a small side of stir fried vegies with my bagel sandwich when I requested... More

I have never deliberately eaten veggie food before, but REALLY enjoyed this meal. I had the Indian Platter special. Absolutely fantastic, and will definitely eat here again next time I am in town.
