Grits N' Gravy

I didn’t realize the history this place had before coming, just thought the menu looked interesting. The atmosphere was really unique and interesting to take in. The food was amazing. I don’t know what they put in their batter/seasoning for their chicken fried steak, but I wish I knew, because it made every other chicken fried steak I’ve had in my life feel like prison food it was that good. My sister got their biscuits and gravy and she was also in awe of how good everything was. Really appreciated too that they had authentic Squirt soda. Was a fun novelty I wasn’t expecting.

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.

This has to be one of the best breakfast spots in Portland hands down. Every bite was packed full of flavor. I highly recommend anyone who enjoys southern food, or just plain ole good food swing by here. I will be back that’s for sure! I highly recommend the country boy breakfast and the uptown or downtown shrimp and grits!

Visiting Portland and saw this place on TikTok, tried it out and was not disappointed! Everything was AMAZING!! We had the shrimp and grits with a side of hot link (hot link was VERY spicy!) also tried the chicken fried steak with gravy, superb! The butter grits and the waffle and pancake were all a hit! Also the sweet tea was down home southern comfort! Simple straight to the point menu but got EVERYTHING right taste wise… our server Jeremy was awesome and the vibes was on point! Great music and ambiance, can’t wait to come back to try their dinner menu!

After an 30min-long wait just to get a seat, I was hopeful that Grits & Gravy's food would live up to the hype. While we waited, I got to truly appreciate the restaurant’s unique ambiance—or maybe that was just the hunger setting in. When our server finally arrived, the first words out of their mouth weren’t, "Can I get you started with some drinks?" but a curt, "You ready to order?" I asked for a coffee, but our server quickly pushed back, stating it would be “easier” for them if we just ordered our food at the same time. We reluctantly did, and another 30 minutes crawled by before our meals arrived. My friend's over-easy eggs came with a popped yolk—a clear sign of carelessness that anyone who's worked in a kitchen knows shouldn't leave the pass. It's a small detail, but it speaks volumes about the lack of pride in their food. The dishes themselves were disappointing. While the restaurant’s eclectic decor showed some serious effort, the same care was not put into the food. It was bland, low-quality, and utterly forgettable. Considering the ridiculously long wait to get a plate of what tasted like unseasoned cafeteria food, the entire experience felt like a slap in the face. With all the hype surrounding this place, it was a major letdown. I won't be returning. Grits & Gravy, Portland, you've saved me a trip for the rest of my life.

First, the playlist here is top tier. I love listening to good music while enjoying delicious food. I ordered the hot link breakfast with eggs, buttered grits on the side, and a rack of French toast. The eggs were cooked perfectly, buttered grits weren't too dry or too runny, and the hot link had a little char on the edges (so damn good). The French toast was my favorite - not soggy, edges had nice crunch and the syrup was thiccccccccccck.

Absolutely delicious! Got the Uptown shrimp and grits and it was incredible. So rich and flavourful! Portion was large and had plenty of shrimp and sausage. Service was slow, only one guy working the whole front which was busy when I visited. Will definitely visit again!

The food here is amazing! I had the uptown gumbo, which was full of flavor (and the cornbread was delicious!) My partner had the chicken fried chicken - it was so juicy. Probably the best one we have ever tried. The service was quick and friendly and the prices were very affordable.

The food, staff and the ambience was GREAT; it was so good had to eat there twice on my trip to Portland!! I will definitely visit when I come to Portland again!! It's not everyday when you eat at a spot and it feels like you're eating with family!! The playlist reminded me of my own and the artwork impeccable!! Salute all the way from Richmond, VA!!

This place is a vibe. Great music; Food was amazing! I went on my lunch break. The service was fast & efficient! The waitress was helpful & very knowledgeable about the menu. (I am a vegetarian) I had lots of questions. She was charming and very kind. I'll be back soon!!

Had a delightful bday brunch for my grandson today. We were a group of 12. Service was excellent. Food also excellent. They were out of cupcake for the bday man so the waitress ran down the street and got him a cinnamon roll!! Above and beyond. Atmosphere was awesome! Will definitely be going back!!!

I stayed in Portland almost 8 months and never heard of this place but somehow found it when I came back for a visit and it's my new fave brunch spot in Portland. The southern belle in me was longing for months for this exact restaurant. Grits, glorious grits! Hardly anyone serves grits in pdx meanwhile this place has it in the name and I can confirm the grits are good, creamy and buttery. I got the catfish and grits and was smiling so hard before the food even came. I thought I'd have to wait to go back home to get a meal like that but no this gem has it and they did it right. The fish was soo good, crispy and good coating that was seasoned just enough. It came with some type of remoulade tartar sauce that was very very good and then also this place had crystal hot sauce, I almost cried. My meal was a 10/10 everything was great. I savored every bite. I was so torn between the fish and grits or the shrimp and grits. But I made the right choice. Now the service was great, I sat at the bar and the girl there was very friendly but the service was slow. It looks like they may be another place struggling with staffing, idk. It was a Monday and they had long wait and then once I sat it still took a while for my food to come. Now I had nothing to do so it was no big deal but definitely something I'll take into account before returning. But lemme tell you if you're looking for real southern comfort breakfast then this is the place! They even had cafe du monde chicory coffee. And everything on the menu seems so good, they even offered 2 styles of shrimps and grits which I appreciated as a Louisianian cause the Cajun way is different. And the place was very cute and chill with local artwork hanging all around. Even though I'm currently no longer in Portland it's nice to know there's a southern spot I can go to while in the PNW. PS there's another well known Cajun/southern restaurant in pdx that I admit is good but Grits N Gravy is much much better. Just saying.

I'm a little torn with the rating as I would give it a 5 for service and ambiance but a 3 for how the food tastes compared to other Portland joints. Our server was very friendly and attentive - made sure our coffees were full and checked in on us without being too persistent. Loved her! The food....here's what we ordered for brunch on a weekday: - Fried green tomatoes: tasted soggy and greasy and we've never had such teeny tomatoes! - Fried catfish: well let's say I was really excited about this. Being from the Bay Area, I was expecting a large uncut portion breaded lightly and rightfully seasoned. I was disappointed by the way my catfish tasted. It was not crispy and it was in these small pieces that fell apart when I tried to give my partner a piece across the table. It could be a little more flavorful too. - Fried wings: the wings were the best amongst what we've ordered - crispy and well seasoned. We were fighting for them! - Buttered grits: my partner loves grits and has had a lot of them, he thought they were kind of chalky - Cornbread: way too dense and dry for our taste That being said, we would love to come by next time to have wings and perhaps try something else to support this lovely family business. However, we noted that the fried catfish, fried green tomatoes, and grits at Screen Door exceed by a lot in taste.

The menu is overwhelming! It's so hard to decide on what to get- I went for the waffle breakfast with a side of buttered grits. The side of buttered grits was really good- I'd come back to try something different on the menu next time.

Stopped by for breakfast on the last day of our trip. Such a great choice! Fried green tomatoes were perfectly done. Chicken fried chicken was also great. The gravy and sauces that came with our meals were a highlight! Service was fairly fast for how busy they were. We loved the vibe too, super cool decor and music. Will definitely make this a planned stop for our next trip!

We came to Grits N' Gravy on a 4 day Portland trip for a wedding. Our friends stayed at a hotel across the street and ate their multiple times during their short stay. Cannot say enough great things about GnG, from the food to the staff and ambiance. We came in on a packed Sunday and got seated as a group of 7 after a short wait. The staff are so incredibly warm and attentive. We ordered the southern fried catfish and chicken fried steak. Everything was SO delicious - I still think about the rice and gravy. Highly recommend.

We absolutely loved Grits N' Gravy! This fantastic black-owned restaurant has quickly become a favorite for breakfast and lunch. My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our experience, thanks to the amazing soulful music that created a chill vibe throughout the space. Having been open for just two years, Grits N' Gravy has established itself as a must-visit spot. The decor is filled with lots of black art, and I was particularly impressed to see an artist selling their work in the corner by the bar. The abundance of mirrors adds a stylish touch, making the atmosphere even more inviting. With both upstairs and outdoor seating options, it's the perfect place to relax and enjoy a meal. We chose to sit outside, which was lovely, though I should mention that the service was a bit slow. Now, let's talk about the food! I started with a freshly squeezed OJ and a cup of chicory coffee, both of which were delightful. For my main course, I ordered the Pancake Combo, and it was absolutely delicious! My friends opted for the Waffle Combo, and they couldn't stop raving about it either. The menu offers a wide range of options, from omelettes to bread pudding, French toast, and fried grits. Trust me when I say, "Grits happen!!!" If you're looking for a place that serves up good vibes and even better food, Grits N' Gravy is the spot to be!

This place is busy! The person taking names was pleasant. We were told how long of a wait it might be. From the outside the restaurant looks like it was big. One inside you realize that it's a tight squeeze, with a second level with more tables. It took a good 15 minutes to get seated inside. The server was quick to introduce herself while she handed the menus. Decided on breakfast this time around. Noticed that they had beignets. Which I ended up ordering along with my meal. The beignets came, freshly made, and just perfect! My breakfast was wonderful. The eggs were poached just the way I wanted. The pancakes were light and fluffy. The sausage links were great. Highly recommend if you're in the area.

First, this restaurant has to be the coolest restaurant I have ever been to. I don't know what was better the ambience or the food. Or were they both top-tier? Definitely. This restaurant has the best playlist, I mean, I was dancing in my seat, singing, and it was such a vibe. The food was delicious. It was so delicious that my husband and I went two days in a row for breakfast. Check out my photos y'all the food was so good. I cannot wait to go back to Portland to have their catfish and fried chicken and grits one more time.

There are many things I consider when looking for a place to eat in a city I've never visited. I usually look at reviews to help me decide. This place met much of what I look for - high recommendations, good looking food, locally owned, decent location, and a unique story. As a southerner visiting the Pacific Northwest - I must say the name caught my eye! Enjoyed the ambiance. The wait staff was attentive. Liked the variety of available choices. Loved the atmosphere. The food was pretty decent. Give it a try if you're in the area!

This place . I don't like shrimp, but I love grits. So I order that and give my partner the shrimp. Win/win Beignets are fabulous. Light, airy, nice chew. Feels like a hug walking in there.

Definitely top 3 spots for me for breakfast. Be prepared to wait a while as it is walk in only. Food is AMAZING and I love that they have multiple gravy options. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu.

Order: Country fried chicken and beignets Pros: I loved loved loved our server and service! She was funny attentive and on it! The atmosphere was dope and the weight was not that long for a party of 3. I loved the Blk music for sure. Cons: so the chicken fried steak was actually a piece of cube steak, which through me off completely. It was lightly seasoned so I tasted more breading than anything. If you know about cube steak, you know it is tough and chewy, which is not what I wanted. I actually wanted chicken. The beignets were slightly hard on the bottom when they should have been nice and fluffy. They also tasted like grease unfortunately. This was not my fav brunch spot.

Visited: 7/5/24 | Spent: $23 - While attending Leaky Con, I beelined to Grits n' Gravy via the train (an easy 10 min ride from the Oregon Convention Center) and was able to be quickly seated at the bar. I ordered the Uptown Grits and a single french toast slice. When I saw a nearby table's chicken order, I instantly wish I had ordered that, too! It looked golden and browned to perfection! My grits were tasty and super cheesy with lump-sized shrimp (tail still on) and sausage bits. The overall flavor was so savory, though I wish the grits to cheese ratio was more proportionate. The single french toast slice satisfied my sweet though, though I expected the bread used to be thicker. Next time Id want to try a full stack of french toast instead. Overall, the service was friendly and fast and the food was affordable and has been consistent across my prior visits (3 total). I'll return most likely before heading to the airport !

I come to Portland one a year for a couple reasons. I look forward to it for many others. One of those is this restaurant. I enjoy breakfast here every day of my trip. Grits! Not much grit action in Phoenix. Also, the bacon and coffee are beyond satisfying. It appears to be emotionally rewarding to work here and that is apparent with every member of the staff. Tasty, clean, happy and very friendly. A++++++++

The Uptown shrimp and grits and beignets were sooooooooo good! Dope ambiance and great server!! The entire vibe and food was amazing'

I came into this spot at 9pm on a Friday night and it wasn't busy. I tried the fried catfish with a side of creamed corn and gravy rice. And wow I was impressed! The flavors and spices of the fried cat fish were so good! I loved the sides as well! The cornbread muffin was okay.. a bit dry. But definitely try the fried catfish! It came with some type of tartar sauce and a slice of lemon. The lady that helped us was nice and checked on us. Restaurant style reminded me of a vintage diner. They're known for their breakfast/ brunch but dinner was yummy!

I've been here twice now, I got the catfish last time & it was good but not the best catfish I've been had. Waiter was super friendly that day! This time we got the Chicken & waffles w/ beans n rice; Chicken & the rice & beans were so good! Recommend as a side to try. The shrimp & grits; Yum, my favorite thing for our meal, Trinity gumbo; I'm surprised how much chicken shrimp & sausage there was. I was kind of full so I didn't eat much at the restaurant but we took it as leftovers n it was still yummy later. Food & portions are very good. Each item was $18 & $19 each entree which came with a side each (we got corn bread which I actually didn't like personally & the beans n rice) coming back for sure though!!

This place was pretty good. The food was good, I enjoyed my bacon waffle. The waiter was kind and made sure we had everything we needed. They had really good music playing and it was a clean restaurant.

If I ever travel back to Portland this is a must go to spot! The music was amazing. Great food and the coffee a big yes! Our server was so fun.

PROS: ambiance is nice with good soul music playing, overall great vibe & great service too. As for the food: grits, eggs & ham were yummy, waffle was good too as was the well seasoned chicken. Their sausage gravy (not shown), excellent! CONS: biscuit was barely okay, KFC biscuits are definitely better, potatoes were seasoned okay, but too crispy. They should be flat-top cooked with onions & peppers.

This was my second time visiting. The first was back in September of 2023, I brought a friend this time as I have been raving about this place. However, I gave a 3 because the food was subpar this time around. I don't know if you have cooks who NEVER been to the South because this wasn't it. The greens were too crunchy for my liking, it had spice but no flavor. The Red Beans and rice needs to come in a different bowl or just on the plate but mine wasn't hot enough. They were room temperature and needed more gravy. The star was the trout! I was furious when I bit into the cornbread....too dense and dry... shameful. The waitress was amazing, she made recommendations and was funny. I like the vibe...good tunes go along way and I love the decor!

I moved here from New Orleans. I've lived in the South for too many years. I got the #22. Served an enormous omelette with mostly cheese and pepper and no avocado. That's a disappointment. But avocado hardly says whether this place can represent. The name of the place has "grits" in it. These are overbuttered grits and if they aren't instant they aren't anything to brag about. I'll be back but so far I'm pretty skeptical.

Went to Grits N' Gravy on a Monday afternoon and it was crowded! Service was super slow and rushed but friendly. It took maybe 15 minutes to be seated and when it was time to go, it took me about 20mins to get a receipt, which I had to have, because this was a business lunch. The food was good, but not great. I actually took most of my food to go and it tasted better the next day. The restaurant itself was clean and I enjoyed looking at the decor. I ordered the Downtown Shrimp & Grits (to eat there), a rack of French Toast (to go), and Andouille sausage (to go). I was with two other people and they seemed to enjoy their food. One ordered the chicken & waffles and the other ordered French Toast with eggs and sausage. I would likely not go back as the service was just too slow and rushed for me.

Not even sure how I have never been here, but I will definitely be back! The pork chops taste like you went to your aunties house that could cook. They were so fire !!! I love traditional grits but have never had or heard of fried grits so I had to try them. Almost like a "grit cake". They were delicious!! My husband got the wings and waffles and he was pleased as well. We can't wait to go back and try more of the menu. The waitress was helpful, sweet, and had a great personality. I'm kicking myself for not remembering her name. The restaurant itself is clean, and the decor is modern and very pleasing to the eye. Loved the architecture.

I came wanting a small breakfast and ended up with the breakfasts of all breakfasts- the chicken friend chicken. My husband had the French toast. Both were huge meals and we struggled to eat it all. Chicken was so flavorful without the gravy or anything added- I did use a little syrup to sweeten it up. Yum. My only downside is there are no mimosas or breakfast cocktails.

Even though the place was busy we only waited about 10 min. The server was super sweet and the food was delicious. Huge portions! First time having fried grits with molasses and I'd definitely order it again.

Came here for dinner at 8pm on a Friday night, we were the only ones in the place which was nice to have the whole establishment to ourselves. We loved the classic jazz music playing, really added to the evening. My better half had the shrimp po boy and it was so good. I ordered the vegan gumbo and red beans and rice. Both were ok. I think this place probably shines with their breakfast. The dinner was so so, I should've ordered something like the catfish or fried chicken. Parking can be a bit of a pain. They close at 10 so we tried to get out quickly so they could close up shop.

Great selections and great options. Tried the chicken, the waffles, the omelets, the grits,, and other amazing options. Staff is great, location is great, and the overall experience. Make sure you tap in.

Visited this delicious breakfast spot today with family while in Portland. It was really good! I haven't been to a restaurant in Portland or Seattle that I actually enjoyed their grits & fried chicken. FOUND my spot now. I really wish they had a location in Seattle because I would definitely go at least once a month. It's hard to find grist cooked to perfection, as well as fried chicken and chicken fried steak. Customer service was good, atmosphere was nice! Restaurant was cute. It's not very big and it does get busy but it's worth the wait for sure. Highly recommend checking it out. We will probably stop here every time we come to Portland now. This place and the Duck House are definitely my top favorite restaurants in Portland right now.

I recently dined at Grits and Gravy in Portland, Oregon, and had a mixed experience. The customer service was excellent, with friendly and attentive staff making the visit pleasant. However, the food left much to be desired. Despite high hopes for authentic Southern cuisine, the dishes lacked the rich, comforting flavors typical of the region. The food was just okay, missing the depth and robustness I was expecting. The ambiance of the restaurant was mediocre. The decor was simple and functional but didn't create a warm, inviting atmosphere. It wasn't unpleasant, but it also wasn't particularly memorable. Overall, while Grits and Gravy offers good service, the food and ambiance fall short of delivering a true Southern experience. If you're nearby and value friendly service, it's worth a visit, but for authentic Southern flavors, you might want to look elsewhere.

Waitress yelled at us, stuck her finger in my eggs and told us we were asking for to much.

We got seated and the place got busy. Nice quaint spot in the downtown area. We walked there from our hotel. The staff were prompt and friendly. The menu offers breakfast items. I don't eat eggs or dairy so my selections are limited. I wanted to sample everything but I couldn't and my husband tends to stay comfortable. He ordered chicken and waffles at a grit and gravy restaurant. They offered turkey breakfast products and a host of other options of meats. My husband enjoyed his meal choice. I built a plate with sides. A must try!

Been here twice now and it's buss everytime. good music always. I got the french toast combo 10/10. French toast not soggy which means I will be eating it all. My friend got the fried catfish and would 100% get that again. black owned business ‼‼ food takes a second to get but well worth it. we live laugh love grits n gravy.

Loved it. If you're looking for grits, chicken and waffles - this is the place. Sunday brunch - Waited 1 hour to be seated and another 1 hour to get the food. So go another day. Service was excellent. Soul music playing - what more can you ask for.

I like the family feel of the place; they really talk to you and take their time. I went to grad school in the south, and these folks have that feel too. I live grits and theirs are legit, 100%. Rich, not runny, served hot, not warm. I'm not a big breakfast guy anymore, but this place is on my list-- great standards, nothing tricked up. Great folks.

It's a soul food restaurant and, it had a lot of amazing choices it was very hard to decide what we wanted to eat! I finally decided to get 2 huge smothered pork chops w/ rice (their homemade onion brown gravy), buttery corn, and cornbread! My husband decided to get the big bowl of sausage and chicken gumbo w/ rice and a piece of cornbread. You are greeted immediately and, seated right away with water on the table. Our waiter was very nice he asked if we have ever eaten there it was our first time! He began to tell us all his favorite items and what's popular among other customers. I would highly recommend eating here I am not sure how busy they get but, I would prefer to go when they are just opening!!! It's downtown on a busy street it is limited parking so keep that in mind if you go to this location! Sorry no pictures and I couldn't get the video upload but, use your imagination!!! When we first entered it feels so warm and very inviting it gives you the feeling like your at someone home. It's a bar straight ahead to the left and is fully stocked with all your favorite liquor. Menu is really cute and each item is described so you know exactly what's in it.

Ordered two shrimp po' boys. They were $20 each. The sandwich came on a giant loaf of bread and there were only 6 shrimp on each sandwich. The shrimp were fried in a heavy coating of cornmeal and were overcooked and chewy. And there was a weird red sauce on the sandwich which I suspect is Old Bay Seasoning based. It was all I could taste and it did NOT taste good. I wasn't expecting a NOLA po' boy but it would have been nice if it were edible. Waste of money and a total rip off.

Best chicken fried steak I've ever had! I was recommended this place by a friend while visiting Portland and it did not disappoint! The food was absolutely delicious and fresh! My waiter was awesome he had suggestions and was very attentive also sings the songs that are playing so it's a vibe for sure!!! The food reminded me of an Atlanta food vibe. Check this place out it will not disappoint!

Grits an' Gravy is a cozy little place in Downtown Portland. I decided to check it out since they were near my hotel and opened pretty early. We got there right as they opened and were quickly seated. I got a "Small Breakfast" where I chose grits, toast, eggs and sausages. The "Small Breakfast" was pretty large for me and I could barely finish everything. I want to say I eat a decent amount for breakfast but it was pretty filling for me. It was definitely worth the price I paid. The server was super nice and I really liked having breakfast at Grits N Gravy. If I'm ever in the area, I'd most likely visit again.

There is not much I can add that hasn't already been said. We were there on a Wednesday morning. The restaurant was full, but not crowded. There were enough staff and they were all outstanding. For the record, the Uptown Shrimp and grits has now set the standard by which all other shrimp and grits moving forward will be measured. The spice from the andouille sausage was phenomenal, and the Cajun cream was amazing. Also, the Southern Fried Catfish far exceeded expectations. The portions of fish were thick, not dry and seasoned perfectly. Also, I have never had grits where you could taste the corn! Thoroughly enjoyable experience, and this place is now on permanent rotation for places to eat in Portland.

In the area for work in downtown Portland and went looking for a hearty breakfast. Having lived in the south for many years, this place caught my eye. Went for a walk a stepped in for a review. A small classy vibe diner, I was seated quickly at the bar and met by the very friendly and prompt waitstaff. Coffee was quick and settled on the breakfast Shrimp and Ham and Cheese grits, added an Egg and some sourdough toast. Absolutely a home run. It came out hot, cheesy, savory and spicy. Typically I follow it with some Tabasco or Louisiana Hot sauce. None needed. Perfectly hearty and spicy. Ate every single bite. Took my time and enjoyed it and when the bill showed up, I still was happy. All of this breakfast for $25ish. Not only will I return again, but I will bring a few friends who love southern comfort cooking. Try it today.

Such a cozy very family style restaurant with great history all around. From the music to the photos to all different art deco. Service was excellent - turnover is quick as kitchen is fast and the smells delish. Really wanted to love the food but it was average. Next time I'll get the grits :)

Early Saturday morning - party of one, sat at the bar. Got the waffle combo, sunny side up and with the sausage patty. Steady stream of patrons. Spray paint art in the back, soul music playing, kind service staff Wish there was espresso but dang the food was great. Would absolutely return.

Great place that I really wanted to fall head over heels for. I've just spent too much time in Louisiana for unbiased critique. I recommend the fried catfish. It feels good supporting such an established local business. Deserves to be tried at least once if you're passing through.

Visiting from Virginia and was told to try this place! Service was great and the place was spacious, clean, and they played great music! Between my friend and I, we ordered pancakes, eggs, bacon, and the uptown shrimp and grits so we could share. Everything was pretty good, but I would say that expectation for the shrimp and grits were way higher. Regardless, I'd definitely come here again!

I have been here numerous times for breakfast. For some reason, I have never gotten around to posting a review. I stopped in to try their gumbo that is now available on their dinner menu. Casual, comfortable ambiance. Friendly staff. This is a good spot for soul food cuisine, such as chicken and waffles, grits, red beans & rice. (For me, the chicken and waffles have been inconsistent at times.) However, I've been pleased with their food overall. Today, we tried the gumbo (added scallops, hot links, Andouille, crab) and the chicken fried pork chops smothered in gravy, with cream corn, spaghetti - traditionally, this is often a side dish in the south - cornbread, biscuits, and of course bottomless sweetened ice tea. It was a good amount of food. The crab tasted fairly fresh. The roux had a rich savory flavor. The breading on the chops was delicious with perhaps a touch of sweetness. The gravy was amazing. Overall, everything was absolutely delicious. Probably one of the best meals I have had this year. Having tried southern cuisine and soul food at popular restaurants in Oakland, Atlanta, Dallas, and Memphis, this restaurant strikes me as being in the top tier. BTW, Aidan is an excellent server in every way. Thank you.
