I went to Granny's Fish and Grits Food Truck and the food was extremely good. The fish was hot and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It was not greasy, and it tasted yummy. The grits were smooth, warm, and buttery, like comfort food that makes you feel happy. The people working there were very nice and really friendly. They really made me feel welcome and were kind while I waited for my food. The wait was not too long, and everything was made fresh. The amount of food you get is perfect for an individual so you will not leave hungry. That made it even better for the price. If you like tasty and warm Southern food that you will be eager to come back to you should try this place. I will go back again to eat more because it was so good. Can't wait to try the chicken next. read more

My God--today! No photos this time, because we absolutely demolished it in the car. We ordered the hot honey lemon pepper catfish, and exquisite doesn't even begin to cover it. The catfish was coated in a glossy glaze with just enough heat to make your nose run--but never enough to slow you down. Perfectly cooked, flaky, and packed with flavor in every bite. And the Cajun ranch fries? A full chef's kiss. Crispy, seasoned just right, and the perfect companion to the fish. The truck stayed busy the entire time--from people getting off work to people like us, just looking to try something new--which tells you everything you need to know. Amazing food, incredible flavors, and we genuinely can't wait to come back and work our way through the rest of the menu. If you see this food truck, do yourself a favor and pull up! read more

GRANNY GRANNY GRANNY! My food was amazing. Everything was cooked fresh when I ordered it. After I placed order it took about 15 min and I was on my way. I ordered 1pc catfish plate which comes with 2 sides. Trust me I will be back to this food truck really soon. 10/10 *ignore the okra in grits I flipped my plate over read more

Granny's is so good. Customer service was great. Took about 15 minutes to get my food and everything was fresh and good. I wish I could've went straight home to enjoy but you know food is good when you can enjoy it cold/warm. I got the one piece catfish with grits and Cajun ranch okra for $12. The okra? Best okra besides Munchie's that I've had here so far. I wish they gave more. I might get double next time. The grits were pretty good. The Parmesan I asked for always adds a nice touch. The catfish could've been fried harder to my liking but it was seasoned well. I'll definitely be back sooner than later! read more

I have been wanting to try this Food Truck ever since Dad saw it on Food Network but timing had just never worked out until recently. I arrived a little early and was pleasantly surprised they were ready to start serving. Staff was very courteous and made recommendations about popular items when I said I had never tried it before. I chose the Catfish with a double order of grits loaded with sausage for my sides. My only regret was not getting a 2nd piece of fish. It was so good! As is the serving size was plenty filling. Absolutely will be making an effort to get again soon! Hopefully they will send one of the trucks to the east side of Birmingham to make it easier to stop by on the regular. read more

Granny's Fish 'N Grits - 1 piece Catfish plate with Double Grits & Sausage - Soul Food Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

Granny's Fish and Girts provides a great opportunity for you to get a taste of the great South signature fish and chips combo. The environment is variable from place to place , but for my specific experience, I was located in the heart of Birmingham and was able to mingle with the locals across different stores. The signature dish offered a taste of variety of fish and spices along with a side of hash browns and jam. The jam was exquisite and delicious but the texture was not ample due to the lack of butter and sugar. The hash browns was reminiscent of the classic Waffle House style, with perfect buttery texture and the crunchy ends allowed for a savory aftertaste. The fish itself was perfect, as the taste was nothing short of amazing as the taste of the salmon was salted and cooked to the level that ultimately provides satisfaction read more

Had their burger one time during a museum event. And I still think about it. No notes.

Granny's is ALWAYS good! I have never had anything bad from here. My favorite is usually a shrimp bowl or a sausage bowl, but the fried fish is good too. read more

I stopped by Granny's Fish n Grits in Birmingham, AL. They are known for their famous grits. When I pulled up the line was long as usual. I had been out with friends so I did not think too much about the wait. I frequent this truck a lot as it is one of my favorites. I ordered the tilapia plate with double grits and a side of okra. One of my friends ordered a loaded bowl and the other ordered catfish. The prices are decent for a food truck. A bowl was around 14.00 plus tax. A 2-piece catfish was 16.00 and the 2-piece tilapia was around 15.00. There were a lot of people waiting on food when we got there so I knew there would be a wait but nonetheless we ordered and then went back to our car. 30 minutes had gone by and I got out to check on our order. The young man stated that it was coming. It took about 40 minutes to get our food. The orders were correct and the food was good per usual. If they work out the long wait times, I think things would be better. Customer service was amazing despite the wait. read more

I am usually not a fan of catfish, but this was very good. The catfish was very thick and tender - perfectly cooked. I loved the grits. Large portions. My friend loves catfish and was very happy with the catfish and he, too, loved the grits. read more

I had heard really great reviews about this food stand, and since I was on that side of town, I decided to try it. The employees were really friendly and had great customer service skills. I ordered the large shrimp and grits bowl, which was ok, not the best but ok. If I decide to go back, I will definitely try other items on the menu read more

Grits are on point. Shrimp seasoned very well. Sausage was also very good. I got the bowl with all 3 meats. Very good.

Good but not great like I expected it to be. I can get better grits at Shug's in Bessemer. I can get better fish at Shrimp Co. in Hueytown. I will not return. Like a college basketball player, 1 and DONE! read more

This place has been on my list for a while. I'd forgotten about it and then it came up on my Newsfeed as a 'Food Network presents...' That definitely inspired me. The venue: Just like the advertisements says, they're near Birmingham Daiquiri; you can't miss them. Parking is a little questionable. I really only notice street parking available but it's a food truck so... there's that. The food: I ordered the combination bowl with grits, shrimp and sausage. Y'all these folks hands are so blessed! The meats and seasonings were prefect. But, THE GRITS were the star of the bowl. I'm not even a cheese grits girl (I'm sugar and butter - judge me later) but this bowl was something special! I'll definitely go back to try more from the menu. The chicken and fish looked good. The line: When I went (around 7 on a Friday evening) the line was not crazy at all. There were about 5-6 ppl ahead of me. But the line moved really fast and orders are ready quickly. I'm naturally impatient. This was a breeze. The people: I wanted to meet the matriarch of this business. She was there! I was star struck... She and the staff were very kind. It was a great experience! read more

This week I went to granny's fish n grits on 9th St north. I had two cat fish filets fried hard, fried okra and french fries. My food came out very quickly and it was very delicious. The service was amazing and I got the chance to speak with the owner and he was very sweet. He told me he attended Minor High School. Because it's a food truck there were no options for outdoor dining so I ate my food at Railroad park. read more

I've visited this food truck multiple times. Normally, I get the shrimp and grits or the fried chicken. I've had the fried fish below as well. I've always liked any of the food I've gotten from here. Sometimes, the grits are a tad bit greasy, but it doesn't affect the flavor of the food! This food truck is normally parked right outside of Birmingham Daiquiri and they are usually opened really late. I wish they would pop up around the city more like some of the other food trucks, but at least I know where to find them since they generally park at the same place. I'd definitely recommend their food! read more

This may be a little bias because I have been eating off this truck for the VERY BEGINNING! They can do NO wrong!! I got the Combo bowl which featured Shrimp, Bacon, & those FAMOUS cheese grits!!! Fiancé got the chicken plate that had 4 whole wings seasoned to perfection, 2 slices of bread, & those FAMOUS cheese grits!! We are never disappointed!

My first visit here on a Saturday I waited about an hour and half just for grits. I had to ask the associate 2 times about my order, after the 2nd time I was told they lost my ticket. Overall, the grits tasted amazing and despite the wait, I was given an extra bowl free of charge. However I don't plan to visit soon, especially not on the weekend. read more

This is honestly my go to food truck since moving to the Birmingham area. The food is amazing, rather it is a grit bowl, chicken, or the fish! The foods is always fresh and hot. They accept multiple payment methods and have sustainable dining options, as in the Togo boxes and Togo grit bowls, the bowls are reusable. The crew members while working in a compact area still maintain proper COVID procedures and great southern hospitality . There isn't legit dining in options since it is as food truck, however the patio area next to their truck that you can enjoy your food while sipping on a daiquiri.

Late night of packing and decided to make a food run. Been here before after a night on the town so expected the same. I guess because they've gotten so popular some things have changed. I had the shrimp bowl for $8 and it was a pound of Grits and maybe 6 very small over cooked shrimp and the grits were bland My gf had the whole wing plate with Grits add bacon and although the grease needed to be changed her food was bomb and she said she was thankful for adding the bacon so her Grits didn't taste like mine. Lol. She had 4 big whole wings fried perfectly. I ended up eating some of her chicken instead eating alllll the damn Grits. Will I go back. Maybe so but I will not get my favorite again. read more

I went to support a local business. I've heard good things about the food truck. We order the tilapia plate with fries and okra and shrimp plate with fries and grits. And like 3 wings to sample. Only word that comes to mind is Salt! The food was cooked well and prices were good. But just wayyyy to much salt on everything. The after taste of everything was just salt. I wanted some different flavors and texture. It was a solid 6 out of 10. the staff was nice and the food didn't take long. read more

If you ever need a great late night meal, Granny's Fish 'N Grits is the place to go! If you didn't know, Granny's is a food truck. When I first pulled up it was a line of people, which is a good thing... it just means their food is awesome. But beware, you may have to wait. I had hot, lemon pepper wings and a side of fries. Everything was cooked to order and very fresh. The seasoning on the wings were yummy too. My friend had the jumbo fried shrimp and cheese grits. Omg the cheese grits tasted just like how my grandma used to cook hers and the fried shrimp was bomb too! I will definitely be back to try more from Granny's menu! read more

I have heard so much about Granny's Fish N Grits and decided to try it the last time I visited my hometown of Birmingham, Alabama and I made sure I went early to avoid the crowd. Let's get started. Granny's Fish N Grits is a Birmingham food truck. I'm accustomed to this because we have food trucks all over Atlanta and the concept is great. The food truck is parked on 3rd Avenue and 9th Street. When I arrived there wasn't a line so I was excited. Parking: There is minimal parking on the street and I'm sure the later it gets, the more difficult it is to find a parking space. I parked at the Church's Chicken and prayed my car wouldn't get towed:-) Ambience: The food truck is parked near Church's Chicken. I don't recall outdoor tables so it appears there is take out service only. I was told to get there around 7pm to avoid the crowd. It is my understanding the hours are 5pm -3am and the later it gets, the more patrons you have to deal with. The menu is available with a list of all of the offerings. Menu: There are several items on the menu that include grits, fish, chicken, shrimp, bacon, sausage to name a few. I decided to try the super bowl which consisted of grits, shrimp, bacon and sausage. The combination of the items was absolutely amazing. The grits were creamy and the toppings added the right amount of flavor. Staff/Service: Since I was the only person in line, it didn't take long for my dish to be prepared. The cashier was extremely friendly and made sure she got the order correct. I waited about 5 minutes for my dish, so the service was fairly quick - which I like. Taste: Oh my! The dish was amazing! I was surprised that I liked the dish as much as i did. I didn't know how I would feel about the shrimp and bacon combination, but the flavor was on point. I shared with my family and they loved the dish as well. I will definitely be back and share the great review with family and friends. If you live in the Magic City, this is a must try. I give this food truck 5 stars. The food makes you want to slap your momma, your husband and your children. All I can say is wow! read more

Granny's can get a 10/10 from me anyway! This was probable one of the first food trucks I have ever tried, and it is so delicious! The food is always hot and fresh which is a a big deal for me. Most places I eat at I have to ask them to cook my food fresh, but not here. They are a busy business, but they are great with getting you your food at a decent time. Since Granny's does not have an actual restaurant, there are no COVID precautions. My favorite thing to get from here is the shrimp and grits. It is the best! The grits are always so creamy and cheesy just how I like them. I have also had their fish and hot wings, which are both good as well! This is one food truck that everyone should try. read more

I waited for too long to try this food truck. It was worth waiting. I brought all my family last night after the Birmingham Iron game. We got super bowl/shrimp bowl/catfish plate/wings plate. The grits are amazing! Probably the best I have ever had. The seasoning is good but my favorite was the catfish and coleslaw. Thanks Granny's ! We will be back! read more

Even though this is my first time going to Granny's this is by far my favorite food truck in Birmingham! I eat a pescatarian diet so my options are sometimes limited, but I definitely see myself becoming a regular at Granny's. I ordered the 2 piece catfish plate and cheese grits and felt as though I was eating a home cooked meal. Everything was seasoned well and seemed to be cooked to order as by the time I made it home the food was still piping hot. I have found food trucks to be a great takeout dining option due to covid and Granny's exceeded expectations. Also food trucks are able to be fairly sustainable due to not having as many cost concerns as a sit down restaurant, and Granny's Fish N Grits is also a great choice in that regard. I look forward to going back and trying some other menu items! read more

I have been seeing all the great posts about this place and my boyfriend has been bugging be about it for a while so we decided to go one day while we were on that side of town. It is a little ducked off on the side of Bham Daiquiris, not much parking available besides on the road (if you live in Bham, you should be used to the struggle of parking) but still easily accessed. We went early evening so there wasn't much of a crowd yet so the wait was short as well as getting the food. Of course we tried the shrimp n grits and BOY, Granny did her thing with them grits! The staff was very friendly and carried on conversation, they all wore gloves and masks while working/cooking/taking orders. The food was even served in hard plastic tupperware like containers so if you wanted to reuse them you could. All other materials were given to upon requests so there was not much extra waste. read more

The food truck I was able to go to his grannies fish and grits. I've been to this place is so many times. Each time that I go there the food is delicious. You might have a long wait but it is well worth it. The food is always hot and it never disappoints me. If anybody is looking for a good place for breakfast foods or wings I would recommend this place. The food is always fresh and delicious and it won't disappoint you. read more
