Delicious selections, all locally sourced (when possible... And then, closest they can get to home). Great flavor combos of the Southern staples. Grits in all shapes and sizes, colors and sensations. Happened to stumble upon their Insta post for pre-pandemic pricing! What a steal of a deal ... Check out their Instagram for details Wed-Fri during August... Just saying ... #hottip #deal #discount Everything was quite rich, so come ready to pack on the pounds and drown your sorrows in some divine dinner dishes... Wear your stretchy pants or be prepared for leftovers! Fried green tomatoes with pimento cheese and green mater bacon jam paired perfectly together... When eaten alone we're great but combining them opens up a whole new world of flavor... These maters have layers... The Wedge salad was phenomenal... Crispy lettuce, rich homemade blue cheese, big fat lardons and sundried tomatoes... All set off with a perfect 6 minute egg. You can definitely split this one. Or have lunch for the next day! The wreck fish was amazing in the Etoufee Style served with rice to compliment the savory sauce of the dish... And a grit ball akin to it's sister the boudin ball will have you thinking you're elevated to New Orleans. The shrimp Rockafeller style was amazing too....I did manage to sneak a bite or two with the subtle Pandon sauce-wine, butter, lemon, cream sauce, but this wasn't overly rich. Everything was so amazing and unfortunately we didn't have room for desert but we saw some go by and it looked heavenly. read more

We hosted our daughter and son in law's wedding dinner reception. We live in Virginia and planning this event from two states away was daunting, but Eli made planning flawless and easy, answering every nervous mother of the bride question promptly with so much interest and attention to detail. We had some food allergies that were handled with ease. The food was delicious, the private dining area was perfect, the patio cozy. The service was impeccable. This was such a memorable experience from planning to the bride and groom's send off. Perfect in every way! read more

This was a lovely find, thank you Yelp and you all's reviews. From the moment we walked through the clean architecturally designed doors to our table, we were well received with enthusiasm . Our host, waitress , and even the Manager's attention was so spot on with knowledge and pride of the establishment . We enjoyed the fresh seafood, the Chef's recommendation and unfortunately no room for dessert. We will be back for sure. Go early or make reservations because the tables go fast. read more

I dropped in solo while traveling for work. There was ample seating available at the community high top tables so I was seated immediately. The slow smoked beef rib presented exceptionally well and was just as delicious. The service was prompt and the manager on duty came by to introduce himself, which made me feel welcomed. 5-stars all around! read more

Enjoyable for grits, entree varieties that are different, tasty and unique. Service is always super as well as personable. Vast variety of brown liquors/bourbons. Went for brunch, menu order, not buffet, so can eat smaller amounts. Quiche as well as Cesar salad were just correct amount. Added shrimp to salad, small in size, net time will go w/ chicken added to salad. read more

We saw lots of good reviews and decided to try this place for our last night at Charleston before we headed back home. We arrived during weekend 6:40pm and without reservation, but we were able to get seated with some high chairs near the bar without waiting. We ordered the Dockside Mocktaili, seafood purloo, wedge salad and Chef creation with Salmon in Rockefeller style (blackened style with fried oyster and traditional spinach grits) The service is great and our server Karly has a good personality and made recommendations for us for our first time visit. The food are so delicious: - The Wedge salad has bacon pieces taste perfectly - The seafood purloo has a huge seared scallop which tastes amazing. It has lots of seafood and sausage as well - The salmon is juicy and blackened perfectly. The fried oyster are delicious and the grit with spinach are just perfect - the Mocktaili is refreshing and if you want to skip the alcohol, this will be your order This is a must try restaurant of you are in Mount Pleasant and Charleston area. Will definitely visit again to try other food and the grit flight. read more

Wow, this could have been a 4 star but no customer should ever have to pay for a restaurants cost of doing business. Expecting customers to pay 3.5% CC fee has always been the part for the business to work in the price of food. I've eaten at the Grits Counter on Montague before and I have noticed this as well but when I choose to come here it was a huge rip off. We were charged $5.00 for a kids OJ, $4.00 for kids Chocolate milk and $8.00 for the fruit that was supposed to be included with the kids meal. The meal was tasty but it was not worth the price, the over medium eggs were cooked well done and the ham was so salty we couldn't eat them. They did replace the eggs but the second set was just nearly over medium like she asked and rather wait again she ate them as they were. I did appreciate the military discount but it was only for me and not the bill. This was a one and done. read more

One of our favorite brunch spots in Mt. Pleasant, honestly in the Charleston area! First off, the restaurant design is fun and modern with southern flare. Great place for a date, family gathering or girls brunch. Really great for any occasion! But I do recommend a reservation. It gets pretty crowded especially during brunch. The food is always delicious! And of course the grits are to die for. Creamy and thick and full of flavor. Our menu favorites are the classic eggs Benny and the friend chicken biscuits. The portions are huge and we often have food to take home. My favorite part is the mimosas! You can order a whole bottle of sparkling wine and it comes with 4 fresh juices on the side. I've tried guava, apricot, pear and peach. Such a fun way to jazz up your tradition mimosas and I love being able to control how much juice is in my glass. Overall, I highly recommend Grace and Grit for brunch (I've never actually been for dinner). read more

THIS IS ONE YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS... 6-stars if i could The place was exceptionally clean from the silverware you could see your face in to the men's room. The napkins, had no rancid smell. Considering the material they were made of; often in other restaurants they do develop a rancid smell . Now for the meal, it was exceptional. The Beef rib, although only one, had plenty of meat on it and tender as can be. The wife enjoyer the lobster tails along with her desert scoop of homemade ice cream. I sampled the cheese cake, but after a full meal , it was hard to finish. The evaluation , I will be back and will refer my friends here. It's not often the restaurant scores a perfect 100 in my book read more

Very pleasant atmosphere and delicious food. The server was knowledgeable about the menu and gave us a lot of good recommendations when she asked if it was our first time there and it was. Explained how to order fish on the menu and navigate the 400 bourbons! I'm not a huge bean girl but the lady at our hotel recommended we go here and try the succotash...when I tell you this might be the best thing I've ever tasted in this year. It's definitely because it's cooked in bacon fat but holy. Shit. Get this even if you don't think it sounds good. You can thank me later read more

Grace &Grit was the perfect place to have our last Charleston meal. We basically ordered all the highlights - the grit flight, fried green tomatoes, wedge salad, and seafood purloo. The grit flight was so interesting! I've never been a huge fan of grits (mostly because of the calories) but it was fascinating to try an assortment of different flavored grits - pimento cheese, brussels pesto, apricot dreamsicle, and blueberry. Surprisingly, my husband who is usually a fan of savory foods, liked the blueberry and apricot flavors the best. The fried green tomatoes were also presented in a novel way - quartered and each piece battered and fried, with dip-your-own pimento cheese and green tomato bacon jam. It was a "deconstructed" version of other fried green tomatoes we've tried on our trip. It was also the largest fried green tomato appetizer we've ever seen! We also had to get the seafood purloo, as we had not tried Caroline gold rice yet, and also wanted to eat as much seafood in South Carolina as we could. It was hearty and they did not skimp on the meat. Sadly we could not finish the entire dish and our hotel fridge was not cold enough for us to take it home. Service was great and the ambiance is incredibly elevated for the area. Highly recommend this place in Mount Pleasant! read more

5 star experience at Grace and Grit for dinner! I went for restaurant week. 3 courses for $40. The vibe is warm and inviting, and the service was spectacular. Our server was super knowledgeable about the menu and was very attentive. I ordered the new old fashioned and it was very good. A little different than your typical old fashioned. Strawberry shrub and rhubarb bitters. All 3 courses (frogmore salad, pimento and puppies, and blacken scallops) were made to perfection. I had a taste of most of the other dishes and all were very good. Definitely will go back! Might try brunch because the menu looks very good. read more

Grace & Grit is where it's at!! My wife wanted to check out this place after seeing a post on a FB page. On our first visit, we came here with her mom and our kids. Each of us got the entree special since it was $20 on Wednesday. The best part, we all got to try something completely different! I went to change the baby and when I got back, my wife had chosen my entree. I should have known it was going to be delicious because she usually chooses well for me. She chose the Blackened Blackbass and I was more than happy with her choice. For our toddler, we decided on the fried shrimp with sweet potato fries. He's never eaten anything that wasn't vegan and I'll tell ya, this was his first time at seafood and I was a proud papa that he loved the shrimp. When I tried a piece, I immediately knew why. It was sooo good; and those sweet potato fries were the best I've ever had! Makes me want to order a kids Fried Shrimp & Sweet Potato Fries meal myself! Well we all loved this place so much, we knew we had to come back at least once again during this trip. Valentine's Day was the perfect opportunity! We made early reservations for a date night with just me and the wife. I called ahead of time to see if there was a corkage fee, which is $20. I brought a nice bottle of Cab and a fresh bouquet of roses. Both of our meals were phenomenal and we were able to try something completely different. The chef really did it up and I'm happy to say that this was a Valentine's Day for the books!! read more

Another delicious meal at Grace and grit! We celebrated my mom's birthday and the meal was outstanding. We made a reservation at 5 and were able to try the happy hour specials before having our meal. Everyone enjoyed their meal. The portions were healthy and plenty:) They had a variety of happy hour specials that were very reasonable. The service was outstanding and we really had a great experience. The only critique was that the Frogmore salad was not great. I don't know what I was expecting but it was pretty small and not very flavorful. If I did it again, I would definitely do the Kale Caesar. I highly recommend Grace and Grit for any occasion! read more

We dined at Grace and Grit while visiting SC for a bachelorette trip! Our bride loves grits, so we tried this place out for dinner and it did not disappoint. The hush puppies were AMAZING (Best we've ever had), the cocktails were delicious (sunset w/ tequila was amazing), and the rest of our food was great! My friend and I tried the Truffle & Chive & Brie grits which were to die for!! If you feel like having a nice dinner while you're visiting SC, definitely check this place out!

The food was amazing!!! The waitress Andrea needs to be running that restaurant. Very helpful and knowledgeable about the entire menu.

Late Sunday brunch and this place was definitely busy! I recommend making a reservation as we called a few days before and the only time available for 4 people was 1:00.

I also tried the tea (1/2 unsweetened and 1/2 sweet peach tea) which was good. read more

One person in our party could not have red meat and our server was more than happy to make substitutions for him! This isn't my first time here, but I know why I'll keep coming back!

Was t a fan of sitting in the Grit Room until I realized we weren't so cramped and it was a much quieter experience than the main dinning area. We had our server who was great with us. She did make sure that we were taken care of except for my water. I had to keep asking for eater even with an empty glass on the table. The food was amazing. Who knew grits came in so many options. I loved my Old Village breakfast. The BLY omelet was also amazingly delicious. Or ally don't take home breakfast dios but we certainly took this home. Grits flight was filling. No options other than the 4 they offer even though they offer tons of options. Cocktails were very well made to my understanding. read more

This is a must visit!!! We're visiting family in the area for the last 3 weeks and our son recommended this restaurant for a date night. Smart boy! This was our finest dining experience in the whole trip. Frank and his lovely wife, Eli run a great operation. Very personable and great managers. Their whole team works like a finely tuned instrument. Everybody from the hostess to the servers to the bartenders. Everybody loves their job and it shows. Now, to the most important thing..the food is amazing! The calamari, grits, Brussel sprouts, creamed corn, butterbeans and shrimp were all excellent. Hell, we loved the Prosecco! We will definitely be returning on our next visit. read more

Grace and Grit is an awesome spot for a special occasion, the inside is furnished beautifully and the food is spot on. We ordered drinks, grit flight (I love all of the variety in the grit flavors), and I ended up ordering the shrimp and grits gluten free.

We loved everything however it would take another special occasion for us to return. read more

My first 5 star review. Everything about this experience was exceptional. I was greeted and treated as a friend when I walked in. Server did the same. I sat outside and enjoyed the breeze - a nice patio! And the food... I grew up down the road in Savannah and I have traveled all over the southeast (from Miami to east TN to Mississippi) for 12 years, this is one of two meals I've ever had on the road in which I was speechless. Every element of the shrimp and grits was perfect. The flavor, the freshness, all of it. I've been shrimping and cooked the shrimp on the boat and this is the closest approximation I've had to that experience. Caesar salad and key lime pie were also wonderful. Shoutout to the staff and chefs here - my highest recommendation. read more

We've always seen the packed parking lot and a patio full of evening diners and tonight we finally made our way to the patio ourselves. Our waitress was great, the food was unique and delicious, and the desert was DIVINE. My husband wasn't a fan of the "red rice" grits (something he couldn't identify- maybe sausage?), but said the rest was really good! I loved the flounder and succotash... amazing and so different! I forgot pictures of our Okra appetizer (whole okra, a bit under cooked- not a fan), Watermelon Sangria (good, not overly sweet) and dessert, which was cheesecake with a pecan pie filling-like topping. If nothing else, we WILL return for that! read more

Best brunch in Mount Pleasant. Finally was able to snag a reservation for Sunday brunch here and it did not disappoint. Firstly, I loved the interior. The atmosphere was lively but not overwhelming and the staff was dressed well and courteous. Our waiter was exception and I wish I remembered his name! Everything on the menu sounded amazing. I finally decided on their take on eggs Benedict and was on the verge of licking my plate clean. It was so stinking delicious. My friend had a waffle and said it was perfect! I updated my side of grits to the Pimento cheese grits and oh my lord where they phenomenal. I'm honestly becoming so hungry just writing this review thinking about that magnificent breakfast. read more

Staff is awesome, food is just ok. I only got small items such as the Santa Barbara sauvignon and the fried green tomatoes with pimento cheese. I was definitely underwhelmed with both. The wine had very little taste. The tomato dish was fine, the tomato slices were quite thick so I wasnt super into it. The pimento cheese was just ok too. There is a second dip, like a chutney that comes with it that I actually preferred. The staff however are awesome, from the hostess to the server and manager. Each were attentive, kind, personable and present. Of course, I'll come back and try an actual grit bowl but if you have any diary allergy or intolerance there is very VERY little you can eat here. Even the fried tomatoes have buttermilk. My friend is able to eat Ricotta so she got one item. read more
