Grits N' Gravy

Freaking Awesome. Possibly the best fried grits I have ever enjoyed. Super tasty gravy and very good biscuits. Nothing fancy - just good Southern Cooking. I'm looking forward to returning and trying more menu items. Great music and friendly staff.

From a food critic’s perspective, this restaurant is rich in personality and ambition. The spray-painted T-shirts on display are genuinely cool and set a creative, street-art tone that suggests the space wants to be an experience, not just a meal. 3 of us dined together; two meals were solid, and one—mine—fell short of its promise. I ordered the grits & gravy, a dish that invites comfort and confidence. The portion was small, and the grits leaned more toward familiar, at-home simplicity than a signature preparation. The biscuits were hearty but a bit doughy, while the eggs were cooked perfectly. With more seasoning and depth, the gravy, grits, and biscuits could easily become a highlight rather than an afterthought. Service was memorable in its own way. A polite “thank you, sir” quickly tu

I didn’t realize the history this place had before coming, just thought the menu looked interesting. The atmosphere was really unique and interesting to take in. The food was amazing. I don’t know what they put in their batter/seasoning for their chicken fried steak, but I wish I knew, because it made every other chicken fried steak I’ve had in my life feel like prison food it was that good. My sister got their biscuits and gravy and she was also in awe of how good everything was. Really appreciated too that they had authentic Squirt soda. Was a fun novelty I wasn’t expecting.

Spot on Soul Breakfast in Downtown PDX. Coffee was good and bottomless. I had the Waffle N' Wings with a side of bacon. Chicken was tender and the bacon hearty. Great food and pleasant atmosphere. I really appreciate the icon Huey B. Newton portrait above the bar, power to the people!

Love, love, loved this place! The food was delicious! Our server was amazing and the atmosphere was nostalgic! Highly recommend Gritz N Gravy if you’re in Portland!
