I like the concept behind Southern Grit, but based on my visit, the menu was hit-and-miss, and there are issues with the ambiance of the dining room experience. As I mentioned, it did get quite busy during the span of our meal, but our server was gracious, attentive and accommodating. I think the ratio of filling to banana slices and vanilla wafers could have been a little higher, but overall, a very pleasing end to the meal. And I’m glad we decided to go splitsies, because the serving was quite plentiful. We did close on a positive note, however, by ordering banana pudding for dessert (they also serve pecan pie and skillet cobbler). I was most disappointed in the cheddar grits, which scarcely had any cheese flavor to them at all, and I didn’t care for the consistency either.
The aroma hit me when the plate landed on our table, and it was just as delicious in the eating - meaty but not too dense or heavy.Īs for the sides, none of them particularly stood out. However, the meatloaf was absolutely stellar, and that’s coming from a person who has never historically been a huge fan of that dish. The fried chicken was disappointingly on the dry side. Our main courses were a welcome distraction, but as the meal progressed, there were inconsistencies. Also, the acoustics of the room seemed to amplify the swelling conversation levels, and by the end of our meal, I was ready for a few moments of quiet. Our tables were separated by only 18 inches or so. At first, this arrangement was fine, but as the dining room filled up, we suddenly felt way too close to our dining neighbors. We had been seated at a two top situated in a long row of small tables.
