Whatever Granny put in her grits has me won over on how smooth, creamy, and delicious they were! Heading from Montgomery, we were looking up places to eat in Birmingham before we pushed through back to Memphis. Granny's Fish and Grits truck came up on my search. We took a chance and pulled off the highway in Birmingham to Granny's Fish and Grits truck.
We thought the food must be good as there was steady traffic pulled up to pick up orders in the cold rain. The service when ordering was polite and friendly. We ordered two shrimp and grits bowls with sausage and fried okra on the side.
With anticipation, we dug into our shrimp and grit bowls. Man, those grits did not disappoint. They hit right with the cold rain pouring outside. Smooth and creamy, buttery, not too salty, seasoned just right. I said out loud that I could've had a bowl of the grits by themselves. The sausage and shrimp took second stage to the creamy grits, IMO. However, they added the right amount of flavor: smoked sausage and shrimp seasoned with herbs and spices. Yum!!! The fried okra was alright.
We ate half of our bowls in the car and packed them away for later and got back on the road to Memphis. When we arrived at our hotel at 1am, we couldn't wait to warm up our Granny's Fish and Grits bowls. My man wanted me to warm up his bowl, too. That ninja doesn't typically eat leftovers.
Now, before I got the bowl into the microwave, I took another bite of the grits. Those grits were just as creamy and delicious as they were when they were served to us piping hot off the truck five hours earlier. Those creamy and delicious grits did NOT turn into a brick even after cooling down. Best grits I've ever had! Thank you, Granny's Fish and Grits and Birmingham!!
