Then wash down lunch with some sweet peach tea, a glass bottled soda or even an adult beverage if you've got time! Whether you're on a short lunch break or looking to relax with friends, there's a little bit of something for everyone here at The Grit Counter. We offer seating inside as well as outside on our dog-friendly patio and invite you to join us for a fun Southern lunch!
