    The Attack of the Meats Burrito
    Jesica V.

    "That is so delectably delicious. That's incredible." The breakfast burrito my son has dreamed about. They say their burritos are "almost famous" but they really deserve full-blown fame. The Attack of the Meats burrito not only has sausage, ham, eggs, cheese and hash browns but it also has Grit City's own burrito sauce. I don't know what's in it but it warranted an OMG. Located in the same storefront as The Tacoma Comedy Club, Grit City Breakfast has an airy, spacious vibe, southern exposure for plenty of sunlight on a sunny morning and upbeat music. A really great place to start the day and good service too.

    Livin La Vida Burrito - I'd recommend!

    Honestly this burrito was delicious! I'd very much go again. i got the livin la vida burrito and it was so good! quite large -- i only could eat half ambiance is a diner/pancake house feel, low key so i loved it lol. parking it street parking but there's usually a lot in this area. service was great it was a little long for just me and the other couple that were in there but hey who knows maybe they had a lot of online orders. i wasn't mad

    Hmmmm. Grit city cafe and no grits on the menu. I learned the name is a nickname for Tacoma but still... I was looking for some grits. First let me say - I'd come back again. Second, the gravy was a bit too lukewarm, even for my liking, but it was tasty. I added a bit more pepper to mine. I had SMOTHERED COMFORT - as a bowl instead of burrito. Contains EGGS - HASH ROUNDS - BACON - SAUSAGE - CHEDDAR CHEESE - GREEN ONIONS - BACON GRAVY. I asked for no green onions - sadly they still came topped with onions. Oh well. But the dish was what I would expect. Bacon was crispy and the gravy was tasty. The place gets a bonus for having tapatío on the table. Coffee was hot and good. I couldn't help but notice the gorgeous bloody Mary's and I was envious. If we didn't have someplace to be i maybe would have had to try some of their cocktails. Also ordered half size biscuits and gravy, side of potatoes and 4 slices of bacon. Feedback was also lukewarm gravy and potatoes. It would have been 5 stars if the food was hot. Service was pretty fast, the dining area loomed clean and the servers were very nice. Thanks Breanna for the service! Parking was available right outside on the street.

    Smoke salmon and Lox bagel- amazing!

    Outstanding breakfast choice! Expansive menu with so many delicious options . My husband and I LOVED this place. Excellent quality ingredients, fast service, decent prices for the portions, clean restaurant, easy parking. What's not to love?? We will be back!!!

    Not sure if anyone has noticed, but there is a major shortage of breakfast burritos that are available before 10am in Tacoma! I was really wanting a breakfast burrito at 7:30am so I looked at Door Dash. Grit City Breakfast was listed and open!! I ordered two avocado bacon breakfast for my husband and myself. The burrito was fantastic!! Highly recommend Grit City for a fantastic breakfast burrito.

    Bagel with cream cheese and I asked for no onions. What do you see?

    I ordered online through Uber when I called Uber to let them know that part of my delivery wasn't received they Said to call the restaurant. When I called the restaurant they basically told me too bad so sad you're out of money. Good luck worst customer service ever. When I opened up the box, he discovered that even though I had asked him for no onions, it's smothered in onions, please see photo below

    Great menu

    Not busy yet Sat morn. Their food is pretty tasty. It's just away from the 6th Ave hub. I don't think anyone has discovered it yet!! The prices are great here along with the food. Although I was talking to the waitress and they do not serve chicken n waffles on the wknds. So sad. It takes too long she said. I believe her. Coffee and iced tea are strong and good! Just across from Gray Lumber. We have been to the Comedy Club downtown but not here yet. Soon. In now on Labor-day Monday. Parking is great.. right up front! Today the darn waffle maker is BROKE....???!!! Damn I don't think I'm ever gonna get chicken n waffles. The chicken is fingers but I was willing to try it today.. nope. So havin the grit city breaky , bf chicken fried steak again and a cinnamon roll to share first!! They are huge and yummy.

    After dinner a group of friends and I were looking for a new bar we hadn't tried off 6th Ave. Holy…read moreMoly Bar sounded like a really cool bar.! Holy Moly did not disappoint! Such a cool 70s vibe! I loved all the decor and the ambience! My large group took a seat in the back near the swordfish and fireplace, which I loved!! I had a lemon drop, which was absolutely perfect. My only complaint came by the request of my two friends who are steadfast, "old-fashioned" drinkers. Their old fashions had some type of red flowers sprinkled in the drink. Every time they took a sip, they complained! I eventually went up to the bar at the end and they told us it was Bergamont! So perhaps if you'd like to stick to the classic, ask to skip the Bergamont- as it has a very strange texture when you're drinking the drink. Overall, really, really cool place!

    Holy Moly Bar is such a vibe! I came across them on Yelp recently and knew I wanted to check them…read moreout, but after a nearby dinner at La Ca Bar we realized Holy Moly was just across the street and decided to drop in for a quick nightcap. At first glance it appears super tiny, but the bar goes back pretty far and is a good size. We got there before the nighttime crowds and managed to score the cozy couch in front of the fireplace in the back. It filled up quickly after that, though! The mood is moody and cozy, the perfect spot for making this apart of date night. I can't speak much to the food as we did not order any, but the menu is pretty elevated for a bar. I wouldn't say this place is divey at all, but the menu was still surprising. Service was good and they had a great selection of drinks. I got a hazy IPA (as per usual) and it was delicious! We also got a couple of shots here and absolutely adored the shot glasses they use. They look like tiny cocktail glasses! Overall we thought Holy Moly was a vibe and we will definitely include this in our 6th Ave rotation.

    This place is ADORABLE when it's the holiday season!…read more We came this past Friday and it was starting to get crowded. It's a small place so definitely show up when they're about to open (4pm) bc it'll get crowded by then! Their seating is small so the booths are really for 2 ppl. We were a group of 3 and made it work! Our server was nice and patient with our questions! He said they do this "Christmas pop up bar" during the holidays and fully revamp their menu to be holiday-themed. Everything will be taken down and full menu back in January. I got the Christmapolitan which was lovely! My friend got the cocktail that was named from the Die Hard movie, "Yipee, kai-yay MF" lol. It was pretty good and came in a cute Santa mug with only Santa's bottom half The popcorn chicken was crispy and juicy! Their fries are BOMB, loved the crispiness of it. I got the hot chicken sandwich and it was crispy but kinda got messy and saucey towards the end...overall, pretty good food for what we had and drinks. For the holidays season, they have mugs and shot glasses for purchase to take home.

    Great spot for American style breakfast!! I've been looking…read morearound to try some new breakfast places and Manny's popped up on my radar. Extra bonus points that it's in Proctor - my favourite stomping ground. I got there not too long after they opened and about half of the tables were already taken. I found a place at the bar and was quickly greeted. I didn't see a drink menu, so I figured a mimosa is the obvious choice. They also have apple and grapefruit juice so you can mix it up a bit! For breakfast I went with the Mediterranean Veggie Hash, which was excellent! Good ratios of all the ingredients and I will absolutely be eating another one! It seems like this is one of those places that you're going to want to get to early - by the time I was leaving it was a full house with no seating left!

    Wait was suppose to be about 20 mins. It was 30…read more Sat at our table for 10mins before anyone greeted us to give us menus. Mickie came and took our order. Very friendly. Took everyone's drink order but mine. When she came back I asked if there were adult drinks. There are no drinks listed anywhere in the menu. When our food came I asked for butter.... butter never came. She checked on us 20 mins later and I just gave her my card. She came back with the credit card slip to sign and my copy. There was no itemized receipt so I dont know exactly what I paid for but I assume $134 for 5 people sounded about right I gave 4 stars cause the food made up for it... or atleast my dish did! French toast was nice and fluffy. The syrup tasted like a caramel/maple mix. Goodm but too sweet toward the end Blueberry pancakes were nice and fluffy 6oz steak and eggs was the winner. Your choice of bread. Comes with hasbrowns. The steak was cooked medium which was fine. The sauce on the steak is what got me. There was pesto, shredded cheese and some type of ketchup/may/ maybe Sriracha mix. But it was REALLY tasty. Southwest hash - great portion. Has brown postion was nice and crispy. They were very busy. It was father's day. So im sure it was just an off day with the service. Would definitely try again The only suggestion i would make would be to put the items that dont fit on the main plate, on a smaller plate. These tables have limited room. So giving each patron 2 large plates (one for french toast and an equally large plate for eggs and bacon) took up a lot of room on a 4 person table where you sat 5
