Gritz Cafe

Soul food restaurant · Las Vegas

@eater

"When Trina Jiles opened Gritz Cafe in 2008, it became a reliable haunt for Southern and soul food in the Historic Westside. Since then, it has drawn a following for its breakfast plates, sandwiches and, of course, the grits — even if that following means the compact dining room often has a wait. While the fried chicken is succulent and crispy, Gritz’s fried catfish is the way to go for the filet’s light — almost fluffy — texture, encased in a golden brown breading. Order either in a bowl with your choice of grits, vegetables, or fried potatoes, plus toppings like eggs and bacon, and a side of toast. Expect effusive, warm service and ’90s R&B to reverberate in the room as you dig into biscuits and gravy, a dish piled with chopped sausage and eggs, or Gritz’s classic chicken and waffles." - Janna Karel
