This was me and my husband's first time dining at Grits and Eggs Breakfast Kitchen. We were greeted by the staff members at the front desk, bar and the waitress. Everyone was nice. I forgot our waitress name, but she has locs and very pleasant and attentive. We started out with drinks and then we placed our order. I ordered the fried fish and grits. My husband ordered french toast, fried hard eggs, house potatoes, and bacon. Our food was so delicious. I didn't taste any of my husband's breakfast, but mine was delicious. I didn't eat all of my food, so I had leftovers. We will definitely be back, if we're in the area. :-) read more

Looking for a breakfast place while visiting. This place had good Yelp reviews so I came here. Got the Grits & Eggs & did not like the soft eggs with egg-white showing. That's on me as I should have specified hard scrambled eggs. The grits were creamy & very hominy. Delicious. The best thing were the soft, fluffy biscuits. I'm old enough that my Grandmother made every baked item from scratch. The biscuits here brought back some of my best memories of my 'Big Mama's', cooking. The bacon was ok & I had the best unsweetened tea this side of the Tennessee River ;-) Ambiance here is very modern-day Atlanta. They have a full bar with tables & chairs in the middle & booths liking the walls & and late 70s/early 80s R&B playing on surround speakers. My waitress (Erica) was very attentive. This place is worth a visit just for the biscuits. 5-stars read more

A group of us came for brunch and was not disappointed. The restaurant was clean and so were the bathrooms. I ordered the veggie omelette and it was flavorful. We had beignets as an appetizer and they were to die for! Others in our party had grits, waffles, and pancakes. Everyone was pleased with their meal. We did not have any complaints. read more

Laquita provided excellent professional service and took great care of us. The restaurant is very clean and welcoming while soft music plays in the background. The food is fresh, made to order, and delicious. I highly recommend this place. read more

The experience was great as we were out of town. Decided to do brunch and everyone enjoyed their meals. Everything came fresh cooked to order. I enjoyed my mocktail and I love the option of free accessible parking as I've heard. It is bad in Atlanta. Customer service was very friendly and attentive, and I was also able to use my inKind discount which made this a bonus. read more

What an amazing, tranquil, vibe. I ordered the Shrimp and Grits! This was the Best breakfast I have ever devoured! My server, Denise was perfect in every way. She had a smile the size of California. Her customer service skills were impeccable... I have traveled the world, dined at 5 star and Michelin restaurants, Grits and Eggs measures along side Michelin ratings. read more

My first experience here was better. This one was very mid. I had their G&E breakfast and it just met expectations. It was not great. My eggs were a little overcooked, but not horrible. The bacon wasn't crispy and my grits were a bit runny.. read more

Yesss just yesss!! Every single item was seasoned perfectly, cooked well and presented lovely. Even though I ordered delivery, all of my food was cooked and packaged ideally and the food arrived hot. I ordered the French Toast - Bananas Foster style with Home Fries (included onions and peppers) and Eggs fried hard. I opted for no breakfast meat. French Toast - Bananas Foster style came with two brioche bread slices, one slice of strawberry and two blueberries as well as a side of fosters sauce and two syrups. The bread slices were big and thick and with the fosters sauce amazing. I did not even need to use syrup. - Grade A+ Home Fries - although I got very little onions and peppers, they were seasoned and cooked exquisitely. I did not need to add any seasoning, and that is rare for me with potatoes. Bonus note: they supplied every condiment one may need (ketchup, salt, pepper, hot sauce, butter and syrup). Grade - A+ Eggs - fried hard, came with two eggs. They were cooked to perfection and lacked nothing. - Grade A+ I highly look forward to eating from here again, and am glad to know they have multiple locations. Keep up the delicious work Grits and Eggs! read more

Food looked good, but didn't get to try it. We were seated for 10 minutes and had pull someone aside to ask for menus. After another 10 minutes, with no one stopping to ask for our drink or food order, we left. read more

I ordered Grits and Eggs for pickup and maybe that's where I went wrong. It was just okay, nothing special. They put all the ingredients in their omelette on top rather than inside - I'm not the biggest fan of that method. Everything just tasted okay. Overall I wasn't that impressed read more

4.8/5 Came here for a nice weekend brunch. We were seated immediately upon arrival which I liked. Keep in mind the seating is very close but they do accommodate large parties. I got the blackened salmon and grits, which was really good. I also liked the way the salmon was good. My gf got the chicken wings with two sides, being fries and Mac & cheese. The mimosas were nice and strong in alcohol, but the cranberry ginger wasn't strong in flavor. She has a shellfish allergy so they did let us know they have two separate fryers. Our waitress was really nice and attentive. read more

Grits & Eggs has quickly become one of my favorite spots! The food is consistently amazing--those grits? Chef's kiss. Creamy, flavorful, and downright comforting. Every dish I've tried has been delicious--literally haven't had a single bad bite. What really sets this place apart though is the people. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and the owner treats you like family. You can tell they truly care about the experience, and it shows in every plate they serve. If you're looking for good food and even better vibes, this is the place. read more

I was on the fence of giving this place 4 or 5 stars. I decided to give 5 stars because the service and taste are wonderful. This location is at the back of a strip mall. You cannot see this place from the main street. There is plenty of parking. The venue is on the bottom floor. It is bright, clean, and smells good in here. Bartender was extremely nice. She made a couple of food recommendations and talked with me as I waited for my food. I ordered the fried red snapper with creamy grits and I added blackened shrimp. Adding 6 pieces of shrimp cost $12. The fried red snapper was fried to perfection. I really liked the grits and the creole sauce on the grits. This place serves good food and is a nice spot. I will come back. read more

The food was decent but just okay. We got here on a Saturday for brunch. I order fish and grits w/French toast and strawberries. While I was charged extra for the strawberries, I only got a slice of one, w/ 2-blueberries. My Son enjoyed the fries but his sandwich was a bit hard for him. The beignets were tasteful and bottle water was extra versus tap. A bit unimpressed especially b/c service lacked too! read more

My friend and I were in ATL for 24 hours to see Beyoncé, we had just flown in and were starving! We heard great things about Grits and Eggs so we thought we'd give it a try. We got in right before the brunch rush and were seated right away. Chrissy was our server and she was amazing. Very kind and warm! I am an indecisive person and age helped me decided on what to order and she did not steer me wrong! The fried catfish and grits were amazing!!! The best we've had, we also added a side of cheese eggs, Mac and cheese, and finished with the beignets. If we are ever back in the area we will definitely visit again. read more

AMAZING FOOD. AMAZING SERVICE. Jana (or Janna, or Johnna, unsure how to spell her name, definitely should've asked), is AN AMAZING bartender/server. She read my mind, treated everyone so well, and was so so so good. If only I lived here permanently, I'd have a seat at the bar every Saturday morning. The food alone is amazing, but the people/staff are excellent. Overall, wow. 100000/10. read more

Would not recommend. Check their health code violations first (Grade 74 in Jan 2026). I received food paining as a result of eating from this location on 4/18/2026. I vomited at the table and several times in the bathroom before leaving (I thought I had eaten too much bc to make it worse the food was good), continue to vomit along the uber ride to my hotel, several hours in my hotel in pain, in the uber vomiting bile and in excruciating pain on the way to the emergency room. Several losses as a result of eating here. To this day no one has contacted me although I have called and left messages. The drinking water tastes bad too...overall it presented well but to be gravely sickened by the food is something totally different- they will be closed before the year is out. read more

One word: fantastic!!! Grits and Eggs has been on my radar since they opened. When my friend wanted to meet here for lunch, I enthusiastically said yes! When you walk in, you feel like you're at home. From the country, diner-like atmosphere, to the old school music soundtrack playing in the background, I knew the food was about to be bussin' lol. Our server was the absolute sweetest and very attentive. I ordered the fried catfish plate with a side of grits and collard greens. Everything was amazing! The catfish and grits were both seasoned perfectly! I really wish I had a second piece. The collards were also very good! I normally do not like restaurant collards, but these were quite delicious. I'm excited to return in the near future. read more

I've been a fan of Grits & Eggs Breakfast Kitchen ever since I visited their Smyrna location in person. The food was amazing, so I was thrilled to see they've opened a new spot in the Summer Hill neighborhood, much closer to home. I ordered the Two Pancakes, Grits, Eggs, and Bacon Breakfast through DoorDash, and it did not disappoint! The portion size was generous, especially for the price, and everything was cooked to perfection. The pancakes were fluffy, the bacon was crispy, and the eggs were just right. But the star of the meal for me was the grits--seasoned so perfectly that they didn't need a single extra thing. It's rare to find grits this good! I'm so happy to have this new location nearby and will definitely be ordering again soon. Highly recommend! read more

It has been a long time since I walked into a restaurant that felt like home. The family atmosphere reminded me of establishments from the past when customer service meant more than just a quick smile and a seat. From start to finish, my experience here was exceptional. Let me tell you, I have been to New Orleans, and the beignets here could outshine those! They were fresh, soft, and fluffy, with just the right amount of sweetness. Do yourself a favor and order some. We also tried an omelet, French toast, and eggs. The portion sizes were generous, and everything tasted wonderful. I can't wait to return and explore the brunch menu. Please continue to maintain the excellent customer service and warm, family atmosphere. In a city where new restaurants seem to appear every week, it's refreshing to know that places like this still exist! read more

I had to go looking for this place. My work office recently moved and put me nearby and I was looking for a lunch spot with more traditional southern food. But I wanted lunch not breakfast so I skipped over it a couple times. Then when I tried to find it I looked upstairs along Sidney and couldn't find it and ate somewhere else. So to get here you have to pull downstairs into the shopping center where the Marshall's and home goods are. I got the chicken wings which came with three complete wings, two sides, and corn bread for $20.21. Add some sweat tea and a tip and we will be looking at a $25 lunch. With tip mine was $28.50. I got grits because it's in the name and black eyed peas. Everything was good and well seasoned. I know this sounds weird, but the grits tasted fishy. I mean they tasted like the grits from shrimp and grits not the grits you have with eggs. They paired well with the wings but there was a fishy aftertaste that surprised me. The wings were cooked well but there were some feathers still sticking to ends. They could have been cleaned better. They were also pretty small wings. But they gave me 4 instead of 3 so I guess they realized they were small. The cornbread tasted like jiffy and the peas were from a can and had a bit of a hot viniger seasoning. I think they would have pared well with the greens. Not the greatest. But certainly good. Oh and they didn't give me any butter for the cornbread. I didn't ask for any but it was not offered. So why not 5 stars? Well price was one issue. I realize I am near Buckhead but $28.50 for three chicken wings just seems pricey to me. And that was one of the cheaper options on the menu. The omelets were a little better value but if you want the seafood be prepared for $40 a plate. That being said the service was first rate. The restaurant is new and clean and the atmosphere great. Busy but not crowded. A nice diverse Atlanta crowd with blue and white collar workers on lunch and families. I don't know if I found a go-to spot or not yet but it is certainly good enough for a return trip. read more

Higher end diner vibes, and I'm not mad at it. Situated in a two floor strip mall, the location is easy to find and has plenty of parking. The restaurant is large as well. The diner feeling comes from rows of tables and lots of chrome. I longed for a booth, but since the food was served quickly, the cafeteria set-up was fine. If it had been busier, I imagine it would have been loud as there was nothing anywhere to absorb sound. The menu seemed to have two focus areas, benedicts and grits. They also had traditional breakfast food like pancakes and the southern staple: chicken and waffles. I enjoyed jerk shrimp and grits that I ordered. The grits were creamy and flavorful, and the shrip was well-cooked and saucy. It was definitely a flavorful dish. There are other styles of shrimp and fish available for the dish as well. My companions enjoyed their respective chicken and waffles, and pancakes and eggs, but nothing to write home about. Service was excellent. Friendly and swift. The staff works as a team here, and we were helped by a few different people without any issues. read more

I took my aunt here to celebrate her birthday and we had a great time. There was a 30 minute wait but we got sat pretty quickly. The place was packed out.

The food at Grits and Eggs is amazing, but the dining experience was definitely impacted by how incredibly hot it was inside the restaurant. It was so warm, I didn't even feel like eating anything fried--which is unfortunate because I came in hoping to try the fried snapper, but they were out of snapper anyway. The online waitlist doesn't seem to serve much of a purpose--you just get seated when you get there, so plan accordingly. I ended up ordering the grilled chicken sandwich, which honestly tasted like something I'd make at home (and that's not really a compliment). The Kraft American cheese on it didn't help either--would love to see real cheese used. The sandwich came with fries, which were a little too salty for my taste. The lemonade also tasted like a powdered mix, which was disappointing. That said, the sides were the real star of the show. The mac and cheese, collard greens, black-eyed peas, and yams were all delicious, super flavorful, and came out hot and fresh. I'd honestly come back just for the sides alone. Service was friendly at the beginning, but once the food arrived, we had a hard time getting water refills. Also, again--it was so hot inside that it really distracted from the experience. Grits and Eggs has some great flavors, but they've definitely got to figure out the A/C situation. Forgot to take a photo before digging in, so here's what was left! read more

Food is amazing. The service is always A+. Free parking, never too crowded and great vibes.

Food was delicious! Our server was really nice but the other servers were slightly awkward and rude. Many were always in other customers and servers business. Twice a server came out with our items and another tried to tell them it wasn't ours or intervening. It was very awkward and uncomfortable. There were weird stipulations on items on the menu. I asked could the boiled egg on the avocado toast be fried and was told that they could take off the egg but would be charged for a fried egg on the side. We also got the Salmon and grits and surprisingly the grits look really seasoned but were very tasteless and flavorless. read more

A friend and I were out shopping and decided to get brunch. This spot was in the same shopping plaza and we decided to check it out. I'd heard about it and thought it would be a good option. So glad we did!! We were seated right away by a friendly host. Brandon, our server came right over to greet us and see what drinks we needed. He was able to give us a brief history on the award winning chef/owner and give us some suggestions on menu offerings. We started with an order of beignets and chai. The beignets were some of the best I've had outside of Nola. Not super sweet, with a light glaze and powdered sugar. Our entrees came out in a timely fashion. The wings were well seasoned and perfectly fried. I had opted for a blueberry waffle which had fruit inside and strawberries and blueberries on top. My companion had the crab cake Benedict. Crab cake were all crab, no filler with a tangy hollandaise and perfectly poached eggs. You have the option of biscuits or muffins. Both entrees were DELICIOUS! We also had sides of home fries and scrambled eggs. Portions were generous, pricing reasonable. There is ample parking. Dining room is open, airy with ample seating and the ambience is cool with CC tvs and a cool playlist of R&B tunes. All the staff was friendly and Brandon was wonderful. We also were lucky enough to meet Chef Rasul York and got to compliment him on a great dining experience. There is also a to-go counter so grab and go if you don't have time to sit in. I'm planning our next visit and bringing the crew!! read more

Came here for breakfast. I ordered the catfish and grits. The order took a whole so our server provided complimentary beignets. I enjoyed my catfish and grits. However, the beignets were just ok. The needed to be cooked a bit longer. I would go back and I might try more items. I arrived at about 10am so there was no crowd but by 11am it had gotten really busy. I would reccomend going early. read more

I had the catfish shrimp and grits and had enough to take home for leftovers. Very tasty! Not overly seasoned like some places which was a plus! I would like my grits creamier but overall very good. The peach mimosa could have a tad more flavor but it did have the right amount of champagne lol. Must try! read more
