Gritz Cafe

Hats off to Gritz’s food was excellent and the customer service was great. This will be my new breakfast SPOT when I’m in Vegas.

I Love Me Some Gritz!
Quick Review:
I’ve had Gritz Café bookmarked for over 2 years and finally checked them off my list. I recommend that you head out here if you’re craving a mean bowl of grits and an even meaner Chicken & Waffles. Gritz Café does it right. Gritz Café does it good.
The Food:
I had their Big Gritz Breakfast. This meal consisted of their 5 pieces of fried chicken, waffles, 2 eggs, and a cup of grits. Cost is about $ 15 and you get a lot. The grits was thick and creamy, which is exactly how I prefer it. As for the chicken & waffles, it was delicious. The fried chicken wings is perfectly seasoned and breaded.
The Service:
5 Stars for their service. Emma was awesome. She made sure that we were comfortable and even moved us to another table with more room.
The Establishment:
The restaurant is small, and it’s busy. Tables are also first come, first serve. My suggestion is to come early or call in your order. There’s also seating outside and It’s called the sidewalk.
Tips:
–The food comes out hot. Take your time or you’ll burn your mouth.
–Located off Lake Mead and MLK.
2016 Unilocal Review #13

The b/​f and I just had a fabulous Saturday breakfast here and I couldn’t wait to review it. Coming straight from the gym, we were both famished and ready to eat. From the time we walked in the door, Emma, our waitress provided the friendliest customer service we’ve had in a long time. She greeted us as we sat down, cleaned off the table that she noticed was a bit dirty, attempted to fix our wobbly table, and when that didn’t work moved us to a table for four even though there were only the two of us. After perusing the menu, customers order at the counter and then the food is brought out. As others have stated, this is a small place, so we were lucky to snag a table right before 10:00am. There was a steady line of customers when we were there, but several were to-​go orders.
I had the fried chicken and waffles, which is a big waffle served with 4 fried chicken wings. The fried chicken was piping hot, tasty, and not greasy at all. Using my hands to dig in, this was not a neat meal by an means, but it was good. Emma checked on us often as did the other waitress there. If you are a fried chicken fan, I heartily recommend you bookmark Gritz Café for amazing food and service.

Very nice people here. I would come back just because of how nice they treated us. One employee was going home and on her way out she put her bag down just to grab our plates to throw them out!

Two things I love the most in this world — my girlfriend and soul food !
Came here for breakfast with a friend of mine, and I felt like I was back home with my grandparents. Tables and seating are a first come, first serve basis (you seat yourselves.) The café’ itself is small and definitely a mom & pop joint, which are always my favorite. The staff was very friendly, but the prices were a bit high, but it was worth it. Home cooked breakfast for sure, the meals did not come with a beverage so be prepared to pay for that separately. I ordered the Hot link combo that came with eggs of choice, side of choice and toast or cornbread. The Hotlinks were spicy and juicy, just the way I like them. I choose fried eggs, Grits (perfectly cooked and seasoned) and Cornbread (moist and sweet) ⁵⁄₅ everything was very good and reminiscent to my grandmothers cooking. I can’t wait to come back again!
A must eat in Vegas!

Super solid place. I would recommend this spot to anyone in Las Vegas trying to find a genuine southern meal. The sweet tea is fire get the muddy water (Arnold Palmer for the city folks).

The grits and fish were excellent. Service was good took and clean environment. They made us feel comfortable and the price was reasonable.

I loved this restaurant, I had chicken and waffles, but I must say I will be ordering the grits next time. Trina and her staff are so pleasant, we had a great time interacting with them. This is our new eating spot while in Vegas.

Trina and her team are doing an awesome job n making sure your experience is wonderful, and serving da bomb grits (creamy), cat fish and fried chicken! This was our 2^nd time going this year and each time has been a welcomed treat. We’ll b back n April 4 sure and making this our Black Friday tradition going forward! Thanks Trina!

Very clean and they are very nice. food is good and flavorful. nice little atmosphere but can get very crowded on morning and weekends.

Perfect! Not on a main road location is kinda hidden. Service was great and fast! Food was delicious couldn’t even finish all of it. Only minus is women’s bathroom was out of order and its small inside. Also you order off a paper menu thats not available unless your looking for it. For ppl that have never been there before it would b better to have the menus out in plain site.

The grits bowl is really good bacon cheese eggs over top of it had a side piece of fish and fried shrimp the (bomb)!!!

I was Greeted with a warm friendly smile Service was great. I had wings, waffle, scrambled eggs with cheese and gritz. Very tasty, more food than I could handle for a decent price!

Amazing southern food for a great price I had the rich boy tomatoes and sauce and shrimp and bread was amazing ! Will definatley bed stopping for the big Fritz breakfast chicken and waffles all the way !

Great food and service. Definitely will be going back. We ordered the catfish plate with yams and mac and cheese, also the bacon and eggs with grits. The only thing I would say is I ordered my egg over medium and it was over hard and its only one egg in the ordered and for sixh a large portion of grits it would’ve been nice to get 2 eggs.

The Good:
The food is GOOD. Period. The catfish — great, the grits — excellent, sausage — off the chain. Waffle: flavor excellent; but mine was cold and a bit hard likely from sitting in a holding-​oven, but i’d give it another shot one day. It’s in a nicely seculded area and there is a police station next door. Plenty of free parking if you’re visiting from the strip; It’s not that far of a drive. Prices are great!
The Bad:
When you walk in, you are not seated. You will have to stand in line to order first, then seat yourself. I’ve heard it can be slow, but I think my «tip» got our food a bit faster when I ordered :-).
The Ugly:
The facility is EXTREMELY small. I would say no more than 12 small tables are in there. So, grab a menu from the front counter, figure out what you want, and if you’re dining in, send a drone from your party to grab a table while you’re in line. I noticed a lot of people take-​out.
Can’t wait to go back!
Unilocal yourself!

This not my first time here and I really love this place. My friend got the chicken & waffles & they are bomb. I got the bubba (cheeseburger & fries). It so good & taste homemade. Trust me I will go again

I don’t know where all of the five stars come from. I would have said 2 stars but who I was with really liked their meal.
The quality of the food is good but the prices on breakfast are very high when compared to others in the Lad Vegas area. 10.50 for biscuits and gravy, it does come with two eggs which were good but I didn’t want I just wanted good biscuits and gravy.
Now I did try some of the waffle that who I was dining with and it was VERY good. I don’t know if it is better at lunch but may try it I will not try breakfast again here.

I am so ashamed that I have known about this spot am just getting around to trying it out. Even though it has good reviews… I was still skeptical. I’m really picky when it comes to soul food. Man, this place did NOT disappoint.
It’s a very casual joint and your food is served on plastic plates with plastic utensils. The staff was polite and very attentive.
I ordered chicken and waffles and a side of cheese grits. My friend ordered the mix and match which included two wings, two pieces of catfish, and eggs and instead of toast a waffle.
This mess was beyond delicious. The chicken and waffles came with FOUR CHICKEN WINGS. FOUR!!! Four chicken wings and a waffle for 12 bucks. These chicken wings weren’t rinky dinky either. The flavor was sooo good. The waffle was just okay. There’s nothing like a Roscoe’s waffle. I nibbled on my friends catfish and it was so good. Reminded me of my grandmas.
Now, you can’t go to a restaurant named GRITZ and not try the grits. They were delicious! The perfect smooth consistency, no lumps no grains… just cream buttery goodness. I had cheddar cheese added to my grits and I thought I was gonna explode from eating too much goodness. Well I go back? Damn right. **drops mic** lol

I had breakfast here a few weeks ago. It was great! For starters. the restaurant is clean. it may be a bit small, but not overly so. We stopped in around 9 or 10 in the morning and it wasn’t crowded at all. No seating issues whatsoever. Just so you know, you order at the counter and someone brings out the food. The ladies that assisted us were very friendly.
The food came out in a reasonable amount of time. I had the grits bowl with catfish and boy was it good! It had been a while since I had a bowl of grits so it was very satisfying. The fish was fresh and delicious. While the piece could have been a bit larger, it was hot and it was well prepared. The bowl had grits and an egg. It was great in it’s simplicity. Hind sight, I wish that I had have ordered sausage or bacon because it would have been great adding it to the bowl. The idea of crumbling up the fish and adding it to my grits bowl didn’t appeal to me so I ate it on the side as it came.
Since I enjoyed my breakfast so much, I decided to try some dessert because they had one of my favorites on the menu… peach cobbler! I asked the young lady who assisted us to warm it up for me and she did. I enjoyed this peach cobbler. It was a FIRST. Everywhere I’ve gone and have ordered it, I’ve been disappointed. Theirs was very good and made with good ingredients. They didn’t skimp on the butter and REAL vanilla as these are two key ingredients to a good cobbler.
I like the premise of this restaurant. Grits are way underrated in my opinion. They have more to offer than just grits. I saw someone’s plate of chicken and waffles and I almost broke my neck as it was brought to their table. LOL! The fried chicken looked beautiful… golden brown. I’ll definitely try it at some point.
I’ll definitely be back… They have a good thing going here.
