You really should have reservations here. The community table has high bar type seats which are ok for me but just don't work well for my wife. The food is excellent and you will pay for it. Almost everything comes with some type of grits which for me is a good thing. They are very creative with the many ways they flavor and prepare grits.
Consistently one of the better restaurants in Mt Pleasant, excellent service and food. Grits are a specialty and highly recommend the shrimp & grits entree.
My friends and I came here for Sunday brunch. We absolutely loved it! I got the chicken biscuit, and my friend got the shrimp and grits. Both were absolutely amazing. The bacon grits were to die for. I will definitely be coming back here!
Fried seafood platter was very tasty. The waitress was very helpful but the hostess could have been a little more welcoming.. but good food overall..
We had a group of 8, and they were able to accommodate us and provide excellent service. I would definitely eat there again!
Wonderful atmosphere and decor and an absolutely great food selection. I grew up with grits and this place made me love them in whole new flavors. This was also my spot for New Years dinner and did not wait long for anything that evening despite how busy they were. Fantastic place!
We made reservations but were seated 45 mins after our reservation time. We were 3 families excited to try brunch here. Owner or manager named Paul, was very rude and attempted to seat our sweet 5 year old little girls, at a separate table 6 ft away! This is after the restaurant capacity ban had been lifted. In total we were 6 adults and 4 little girls. Paul was incredibly rude! When we asked that the adult and kid tables be pushed closer, he initially downright refused. Then, he made a comment Oh, so you want the tables on top of each other ? Ok. We left in that moment and will never return. We spend at least $400/500 on our weekly family brunches and we refused to spend our money here after the encounter with Paul. We urge you not to visit, especially if there are brown or black people in your party. We just don t understand why he was so rude.
The shrimp and grits was amazing, as was the Frogmore Salad. The staff was friendly and polite. Would go back.
You don't know what grits are? Are you scared to try them? Have your first experience with a southern staple here. This is where first timers and visitors from "off" fall in love with a dish that can be prepared in a huge variety of ways. Surely you will find one you love.
We love the restaurant and until recently loved the bar. Unfortunately the quality of the bar staff has plummeted in the last month. Extremely poor service by disinterested and rude bartenders. Such a disappointment!
We absolutely loved our experience here today. The flight of grits were amazing. My husband got the fried oysters and shrimp with a pickled collard slaw salad and collards on the side and I got the omelet with a side of jalapeno cheese grits. I loved the peach sweet tea! Everything was as so amazing. We are both so full and happy. Our server Colleen was awesome. We will DEFINITELY come back!
Good atmosphere, good food and great service. Reccomend!
Excellent and creative grits. Fantastic ambience. Overall good, friendly service. One star deduction for a lack of consistency in food. Have ordered steak medium rare come out perfectly one time and then scorched to well done on another occasion. Will still go back and stick with the grits.
By FAR the BEST brunch to date! Staff was attentive and knowledgeable;) The food is everything it sounds like it will be and MORE!!! Compared to past experiences felt they were reasonable prices as well. With their level of quality they could probably get away w raising the prices on their dishes.
Grace and Grit is the epitome of new school Southern by a chef raised on old school Southern. Chef Frank is a genius when it comes to preparations and use of local classic ingredients. From fish to shrimp to Frogmore stew to cheese grits. If the food doesn't draw you in at first bite then an immense selection of Bourbon and wine will definitely keep you coming back. Love it. 15/10 would recommend.
Grace & grit is by far one of the cleanest most facy wine an dine restaurants you can think of and the food is jus amazing i recommend them to any body wanting an excellent breakfast with a spice and a excellent dinner as well
First time visit during restaurant week. Everything was delicious. Cream of corn hush puppies, frog more salad, pan seared flounder over tomato grits and white chocolate bread pudding.
Great food and atmosphere. So many specials, dont even have to choose from the menu. Excellent!
Fantastic brunch! The Southern fried chicken and biscuit with the cheesy mash was stellar! Awesome service and cozy atmosphere.
Great place for dinner. I was skeptical about trying the different flavors of grits, especially the brussel sprouts but the brussel sprouts were really good. Atmosphere was great, waitress was great. I will be back again.
Food was a bit salty and lacked flavour for some reason.
Great atmosphere, the different options of Grits is just fantastic! Can t wait to go back.
Go with Rockefeller... You'll see when you get there...
Food was absolutely amazing. Had grits sampler and shrimp and grits. Smoked peanut brittle old fashioned was great too. Will definitely try to come back here if in the area.
Unbelievable grits at this place. Amazing food and nice people.
Never even got to taste the food but don't expect these people to do their jobs correctly. Was told it was going to be a 30-40 min wait. At about 45 min I inquired as to how much longer and was informed it would be another 20-30 min. At no point were we informed that the wait had been extended. Upon saying we couldn't wait the teenager that was working there just stated well next time you should make reservations. For a higher end place I would suggest getting experienced hostesses. They were unapologetic and I personally will never return and I will inform others about the pathetic excuse for customer service this place gives.
Fabulous service and delicious food! Quiet dining experience conducive for conversation.
Y to the UM. Half price wine bottles on Wednesday.
Absolutely fantastic. Had the blackened wahoo over bacon creamed corn, blueberry grits and brussels. It was amazing and I can't wait to go back. The decor was exceptional as well!
Very unique cuisine but overall a great place to dine.
The worst experience. Never going back. $28 for a shrimp Caesar salad. Ridiculous. Food terrible... should ve known when the people next to us at the community table gave us their hush puppies.
I sat it the "kitchen" table. Great fun to watch the kitchen in action! Excellent friendly service, and such a selection of dishes. Hard to choose! And the 1st time I ever had sweet grits! Peaches and Creme and coconut creme grits. Who knew! I'll be back. Have already recommended to clients and friends!
Everything about this restaurant was fantastic! We were in town for an event which was cancelled. The owner, staff, food and bourbon selection were all over the top! Thank you from the Bourbon bros of Columbus Georgia.
Everything about this place is 4-5 stars, from the first time you walk in...will go back and recommend to all my friends.
Awesome! Great service, food was up super fast and they were really busy. Management was super nice and the food was spectacular ! I must visit in Mt pleasant.
Good food, good atmosphere and the service is great. The shrimp and grits was a bit overcooked.
The service was good which is why I gave it the 3 stars that I did. The food wasn't so great. I've been to many nice restaurants in the Charleston area and even though the atmosphere and service are nice there's nothing about this food that makes us want to return.
Went here for brunch. Food was fantastic! Get reservations if you can this place fills up fast!
Excellent dining experience. Seasonal soft shell crab appetizer with Korean slaw was very good. Everyone at the table commented how good their dishes were...whole red snapper on smoked Gouda grits, collard greens; shrimp with the succotash...filled with boiled peanuts, tasso ham, corn, butterbeans, field peas; and pan seared fish with citrus butter, bits of house made bacon, roasted beets, sweet potatoes. We did not try dessert. No room! The wait staff was very attentive and pleasant. The restaurant is a little noisy, bustling with energy, but I did not mind it. Overall, an enjoyable dining experience! And the cherry on top...it's on this side of the bridge!
Creative menu. Good service. Grits with everything. I had blackened shrimp and fried oysters with grits. It was good for a change of pace. One of my dining partners had the sweet tea porkchop. I tasted - wish i would have gone for the pork. So all in it was good - just dont see a need to leave Charleston to go there again.
FABULOUS!!! Pricey, but well worth it. The Fried Green Tomatoes were delicious. The Shrimp and Grits were the best I've ever tasted. Fantastic service by wait staff and management, and great atmosphere. We had a party of 4 and were very well taken care of. Proud members of the "clean plate" club! Terrific place!
The food was interesting and wonderful! We ordered the grit sampler which was a lot of fun for the table. Our servers were attentive and knowledgeable. I loved how they had refreshments in the entryway for those who were waiting for a table. Loved this place. We will definitely be back!
Very pretty space, good food. My chops came out undercooked and they rectified it immediately.
Grace & Grit is always a pleasure. Get in early or else there will be a wait, it's popular for a reason. Their food is always top notch. It is a little pricey but, given the quality of food, it's worth the price. Their chicken biscuit is amazing and so is their peach tea. They have many different options for grits so, if you aren't from around here, this would be the place to go for that. They serve different juices as well, which is a nice touch. Service is always prompt and kind. I haven't gotten the chance to try their mimosas but, they look fantastic. Would highly recommend going!
The food was top notch as was the service. But, who has ever heard of paying extras for hushpuppies. Oh I know why. These were not "hushpuppies" but sweet round syrupy corn balls. Not hushpuppies.
Loved this place.meal was terrific and the service was spectacular! Visiting from Georgia and wanted to try a place unique to Charleston. I had the chef special of eggplant grits, fresh green beans and mushrooms, with the golden tile fish (amazing) and pickled tomato and cucumber relish and a swathe of carmelized onion! Plus we had a side of the best succotash I have ever tasted! It was all great!
Accommodating staff and nice atmosphere. Food is good, but lacking wow factor.
Amazing brunch. The grits are the best I have ever eaten and I have lived in Charleston 29 years now.
Great first visit! Enjoyed brunch at the bar - Taylor was extremely informative & made wonderful suggestions based off our questions. Will be back soon!!
I ordered the Snowy Grouper special. I was told it was the spiciest dish to ever come out of their kitchen. It was the blandest thing I ve ever eaten. Another member of my party ordered the same dish. Same thing. On a heat scale from 1 to 10 it was a zero. The waiter didn t seem to care.
Great decor, great service, food was unique and delicious.
A great atmosphere with great service and excellent food.
Still dreaming about the biscuits and gravy and grits.
A delicious dinner. Welcoming duo at the door. Enjoyed our dinner and server.
I'm not a big grits person, but what that chef did to those grits should be illegal. I had the fried chicken on a bed of red rice grits and collard greens in my opinion the best dish in Mt. Pleasant.
My 5 stars is based off an amazing restaurant, service and food. This was my first experience eating grits and let me tell you, I am a fan. Wow...I never knew they could be something I would enjoy. Definitely coming back. Tip: Make a reservation
The prices were very high for what it was, the food was pretty good, and the service was decent. Definitely won't be returning, since we didn't feel like it was worth it.
Excellent food. Worked to adjust menu for dietary limitations. Can't wait to go again.
Sadly this place does not live up to its unique and attractive exterior. Went to the bar while waiting for a table; I had to wave down one of the many bartenders to get a drink menu because none of them were paying attention (or simply did not want to give us a drink). The bar tending staff was quite rude although the drinks were decent. As for the food, the sheep's head fish was flavorless, but the shrimp was good. Overall, too mediocre for me to return here for the price point.
First time customer.
Blackened Flounder was very bland. Not sure where they got their seasoning from, very tasteless. Very over priced for the quality.
Would not recommend!
The staff was super friendly. Our server Michael was helpful, fun, and made sure we were well taken care of. The food was delicious!
Good food, good service, nice surroundings. Check it out.
Warm modern ambiance, noise level low despite full restaurant. Server was knowledgable and sharp. Swordfish special is a top 5 meal in Charleston. Will be back!
Not just Grits....although the grits are great! Great fish selections and beautiful space. You can also bring your dogs outside. If going for a drink ask for Sullivan
They have pancakes. They have fresh blueberries. But when I asked for blueberry pancakes, the answer was no. How rude.
Greater than 10 minutes to get a drink at a table... Greater than 30 minutes to get 3 entries 2 soup, 1 salad and chicken biscuit entire... mostly pre-made items...
2 soups were not hot (a little above room temperature), sent back twice to get HOT
Shame !!!!!
Nice atmosphere, servers where ok...
Great place, great environment and lively crowd.service was very helpful and attentive. Food was cooked prefect and full of flavor. There are specials be sure to ask.grits flavors are amazing and truly a place you need to go and experience
Amazing brunch. What a great portion size for $13 and it was also extremely delicious
Came here on R weekly date night with my wife the food was great love the stripping grits staff was wonderful really cool atmosphere highly recommend
Cool little place near Shem Creek offering a wide range of unique grit choices and other (mostly) seafood dishes. Sat at the bar for happy hour which starts one hour prior to dinner service and the bartenders were wonderful. The parmesan grits were great, and the peel and eat shrimp appetizer was some of the best-cooked, freshest shrimp I've ever eaten.
This place is so great. Their happy hour is extremely generous for what you pay, and if you have the opportunity to have Ruth as your tender, well, it's your lucky day.
Don't sleep on the basil brussels grits - out of the world.
Fantastic dinner! Great service! Will definitely be in our fav places to eat!
