"Since opening in 2008, Gritz has been a reliable haunt for Southern and soul food in the Historic Westside. The restaurant’s loyal following comes for breakfast plates, sandwiches, and, of course, the grits — even if that means the compact dining room often has a wait. Gritz’s fried catfish has a light — almost fluffy — texture, its flesh encased in a golden brown breading. The 1990s R&B blaring through the speakers pairs well with popular dishes like biscuits and gravy and Gritz’s classic fried chicken and waffles." - Janna Karel
