  Freaking Awesome.
  Possibly the best fried grits I have ever enjoyed. Super tasty gravy and very good biscuits. Nothing fancy - just good Southern Cooking. I'm looking forward to returning and trying more menu items. Great music and friendly staff.

  From a food critic’s perspective, this restaurant is rich in personality and ambition. The spray-painted T-shirts on display are genuinely cool and set a creative, street-art tone that suggests the space wants to be an experience, not just a meal. 3 of us dined together; two meals were solid, and one—mine—fell short of its promise.
  I ordered the grits & gravy, a dish that invites comfort and confidence. The portion was small, and the grits leaned more toward familiar, at-home simplicity than a signature preparation. The biscuits were hearty but a bit doughy, while the eggs were cooked perfectly. With more seasoning and depth, the gravy, grits, and biscuits could easily become a highlight rather than an afterthought.
  Service was memorable in its own way. A polite “thank you, sir” quickly turned into an unexpected cultural lesson before I even sat down—an interaction that underscored the restaurant’s strong sense of identity, if not its warmth.
  The décor shows promise, though a deeper clean would allow it to truly shine. Dust on decorative plants and mirrors, along with an oddly placed insect trap right behind my head within eyesite & smell, distracted from the otherwise bold visual choices. Parking is also limited to paid options, which adds a layer of inconvenience.
  Overall, this feels like a concept with creative roots still finding its footing. With a thoughtful refresh, renewed attention to cleanliness, and a stronger commitment to seasoning and execution, it could grow into its vision. I’m open to a return—especially after a relaunch that fully brings the concept to life.

  Stopped by for a quick breakfast, met a stranger from the same town, and he bought me breakfast because it was my birthday.
  
  Had Uptown shrimp’n’gritz, little over cheesed for my taste but definitely a great dish to eat. Gritz was good, shrimp was cooked well, and the sauce was amazing.
  
  Would highly recommend!

  Love, love, loved this place! The food was delicious! Our server was amazing and the atmosphere was nostalgic! Highly recommend Gritz N Gravy if you’re in Portland!

  My husband, our friend, and I just visited Grits N' Gravy for the first time today, and we were impressed! I'm picky when it comes to breakfast/comfort foods, especially gravy. I was honestly blown away by both the sausage gravy and the red-eye gravy. Both were so good and soothing on the stomach. Their biscuits were some of the best restaurant biscuits I've had in a long time. They cooked their eggs perfectly, giving us that wonderful yolk to drag our biscuits through. The homestyle potatoes with peppers and onions were a winner! Crisp, delicious. The grits were buttery and good, though a little runny for my taste. Still loved them! The portions were great as well! All in all, this breakfast was stellar and this gal's heart (and stomach) is full.
