I heard of this place through an Visit Idahoo's Instagram account when they posted a picture of the Nashville Chicken sandwich and I told my wife we had to go. I ordered the Nashville Chicken sandwich with fries, ranch and fry sauce and my wife got the cheesesteak with fries, ranch and fry sauce. I can't stop thinking about how amazing the chicken sandwich was. It was spicy, but also sweet at the same time and it was the most delicious thing I've eaten in a long time. My wife's cheesesteak was amazing as well and she loved it. Their fries were also amazing and the fry sauce and ranch that they have was also very tasty. I'm still in shock that a meal like this exists. It was so good!!!! read more

Great environment, food was good! The menu was original and had some great options. I love when anyone has fry sauce!! I would love to come back and try some other options on the menu. read more

Great food and great service. Price was decent too. Good ambiance too. We'll definitely hit this place again.

This place is way more like 3.5 stars. It is cute, but we had problems with SOME staff not being too friendly. Some staff apologized and helped accommodate us with us needing more tables. Besides that hitch, maybe it could be 4 stars but we honestly weren't that impressed with the food. Maybe we'd try it again bc there's a lot of hype and maybe we just didn't try the right things. Idk. read more

This place has a TON of potential. We came in on a very very busy Friday night. The restaurant had every table filled and there was a hour plus wait. We had a party of 8 including 3 kids and a toddler. I should've followed my gut and walked out... as what followed was a nightmare. The staff was stretched way too thin. We waited well over 30 min to order drinks and get them from the bar. The food service was even slower. I know that they were beyond their capabilities but the number 1 rule for a table with kids... get their order as quickly as possible so that you can keep them happy and burn the table asap. We sat for 2 hours watching all the tables around us come and go. Our server was super nice, apologetic and helpful when he was table side... but he was overwhelmed. Management should have slowed the seating and allowed everyone to catch up. Management should have been at every table taking to patrons. Management should have been running drinks and food... if they were... we never saw them. The drinks were hastily made and were pretty gross. My Old Fashioned tastes like whiskey was thrown in a glass with a orange slice and a piece of a cherry. The food was good... a lot better than what I expected with all the chaos. I had a burger, it was dry and pretty overcooked but was seasoned really well, I'd order it again. My wife's fish and chips was perfectly fried but had zero seasoning. My friend allowed me a bite of her Nashville hot chicken sandwich and it was bonkers good!! The fried jalapeño chips were amazing. So... this place has a lot of potential. They need more staff on busy nights. Management needs to step up and slow things down before the night falls to pieces as it clearly did on my visit. The kitchen deserves a raise... the FOH needs some more training... but I have a feeling this place will end up being very successful and I look forward to a future visit.. on a less busy night. read more

Wow is all I have to say!!! My friends and I shared all our food and it was all amazing!! Shrimp and grits are to die for, salmon tacos are great, brisket sandwich, Mac and cheese delish!! I would say everyone needs to come here! read more

Grit 2C - Shrimp and grits - Bars Near Me - Caldwell, Idaho

Great service tonight. Had the cauliflower/asparagus appetizer,fish and chips and Nashville chicken. Good Portions. Only issue is the food came out greasy and extremely dark. Almost burnt. Recommend cleaning or changing out fryer oil. Will try again. read more

I visited Grit 2C last night (July 5, 2019) for my friends birthday dinner. We arrived around 7pm and had 7 people in our party. I read the Yelp reviews prior to coming and they seemed pretty mixed, however, my friend and his girlfriend both raved about the food, so I went in with a totally open mind and left all of my preconceived notions at the door. When my hubby & I arrived our friends were already seated. The restaurant is decorated very nicely! It looks really clean and the space is very open. I'm sure that they could cram in some more tables, but it was really nice to have room in between us & other guests. Our server took our drink orders fairly quickly and immediately brought us waters. She didn't bring enough waters and never brought us the missing one, but it's not the end of the world. The drinks took a while to arrive and the drinks that came from the bar took a long time. We ordered: Bacon sandwich without avocado & substitute 1000 island for the herb mayo with fries Poutine 2 C burger without cheese or a bun & extra pickles with fries Fried chicken Big Hug burger with cheddar cheese with Caesar salad as a side 2-Spicy Nashville chicken sandwiches We also requested ketchup, ranch, & fry sauce for our fries When our food arrived it looked absolutely delicious. The presentation was great and the portion sizes were impressive! The poutine came in a HUGE bowl! The presentation and plating made us all excited to dig in. The food tasted as good (if not better) than it looked. My husband and I were seriously blown away. The meat in the burger is a blend that includes some bacon and it tasted so good. The bacon taste wasn't overpowering at all, it just gave the perfect little hit of something that just took it over top flavor wise. It also kept the burger from drying out. We seriously LOVED everything that we ate. Since my 1st visit, I have gone back about 4 or 5 more times and each time I have been just as happy. Another bonus is that they offer take out. One of our visits was take out and we ate it at The Reel Theatre while watching Aladdin! It was shear perfection! Delicious food, recliners, & an awesome movie. I'm a happy girl! read more

Very impressed with the creative food choices/pairings. Food prices were comfortably priced and we even had leftovers for lunch the following day. Very good food. We had a party of 5 and we were all very satisfied with our orders. Drink prices are a bit steep, but the drinks were good. ;) Extremely nice to have another dining option in downtown Caldwell. Thank you Grit 2C for not price gouging like some others establishments that are in very close proximity. We highly recommend Grit 2C. Wish we had taken photos. Next time! :) read more

Amazing food awesome service great drinks. This is our third time here and they are always amazing. So happy they have survived this COVID shutdown. read more

We stopped in by chance after checking out the Christmas lights. They were a bit busy but we were cold and hungry. The staff was very frIendly and service was wonderful. I got the 2C burger and my husband got the Grit Dip. They both were excellent! We are very happy that we stumbled across this place. We will be back for sure! read more

Love this place! They have great food and are always willing to make you happy no matter what! They're pasta is awesome and they literally have the best Cobb Salad that I've ever had! read more

Food is fantastic! Waited a little longer than expected but they were pretty busy. Will be returning!

It's a great building yet It reminds me of a poor mans Juniper . The menu is similar but The food isn't . It's also isn't written well . You can't tell if there's an option of fries or salad since it's written in small print since the server doesn't offer it either. Food as well as service is just average for the price of it . Pretty forgettable actually so unfortunately for the owners it won't last . read more

located in a lovely setting just off a pretty park with a stream and grassy area, sculptures, etc. historic building hasbeennicely updated to a cool vibe. But, If you are in any kind of hurry, skip this place. Salads were very good and dessert (peach empanadas with ice cream) was great. Prices were quite reasonable. Lots of waitstaff, so I assume the hold up was in the kitchen. 90 minute lunch. read more

I have lived in Caldwell for a year and I have no idea why I waited so long to try this place . To say it was good is an understatement. It was excellent. I went with my son for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. I had their Marionberry lemon drop martini and it was good. I don't know if I would order it again, as it was $10 and not quite a $10 cocktail. I decided on the Farro salad with steak and my son had the grit dip. I love Farro salads and this is the best I have ever had. I asked for the bacon on the side, as I don't always like bacon on my salad but I ended up adding it after all, it was a nice addition. My son didn't say a word about his because he was too busy eating. He said he will be back for sure. Wonderful atmosphere, lots of tables in the adjacent room but not to close so you could actually have a conversation and not be drawn out by the people next to you. This place is a hidden gem. read more

Grit 2C - Farro Salad - Bars Near Me - Caldwell, Idaho

Had a wonderful time tonight. Me and three of my favorite ladies, great waitress, fun staff, and excellent food and wine. I had the shrimp and grits and it really hit the spot. We are a chatty group and we're not afraid to make special requests. We try to make sure our server is having as much fun as we are and I hope we succeeded but we were very well accommodated. I also really enjoyed the look and the feel of the place. Very modern, spacious, and comfortable. I would very much recommend this place to anyone. read more

Delicious food, fabulous service and a very relaxing and comfortable spot to eat! Love that items are locally sourced, made in-house with unique flavors. Prices are reasonable and portions are fabulous! read more

This was our first visit to this restaurant. We were seated immediately and brought drinks. The chips and salsa were alright but I don't see us ordering them again in any future visits. Lunch arrived quickly.. the sandwich's here are HUGE so bring your appetite! The spicy chicken is made with thigh meat, but they really need to consider making it with breast meat instead. There was not enough meat on the sandwich. The flavors were ok.. it hits you with a sweet taste right off the bat but then it gets very spicy very quickly. It was almost a little too much in my opinion but if you like spicy this is the sandwich for you.. The 2C burger with blue cheese was delicious! The fried onion was good and the bacon was thick! They didn't over do with the blue cheese either which was nice. We must also note that the Frye's were done perfectly with both dishes... sometimes people struggle with that. All in all I think we will be back. We want to try the fish and chips read more

We did carry out and the food was absolutely scrumptious, definitely will be back! Next time will try to save room to try the dessert.

Patti and I had lunch at "Grit 2C" in Caldwell, Idaho ....... yesterday. We were greeted by the bartender/server with a "how about a hot toddy"? It had 2 kinds of whisky in it and that is all that matters!! Great drink and service. I ordered the Fish & Chips meal. I was a bit disappointed in my complete, or what I call, incomplete meal. There was NO coleslaw with this meal. No fish and chips meal should ever not have coleslaw included!! On another note I was provided with a double dose of "Not" fresh cut French fries!! Hey! This is Idaho!! The fries were way too many and just OK. The fish was definitely plenty and on a scale of 1 to 10 "You gonna eat that" I give it a 7 "You gonna eat that". I spoke with the bartender/server about my above comments. Unless they change it up a bit, as I suggested, I will not be eating their fish and chips again. Too many non fresh cut French fries for $13.75. Great drink though! Patti had the Cobb salad and as cobb salads go Patti said it was delicious and filling. $13.75 for that is a bit high, IMO. I will be posting this on "Yelp" in hopes the restaurants takes in my suggestions. I love the location and the interior atmosphere is also nice. For more eats stuff check out my Brogar's - "You Gonna Eat That"? on my facebook. read more

Nice atmosphere, food was average , service was great , this is more like a place you go for happy hour are a bar scene ..

Really good food and fast service. The fried cauliflower and asparagus was so dang good! Also loved the salmon tacos and my husband had the grit dip sandwich. Yummy! read more

Giving this place 1 star due to mediocre food & terrible service. We ordered two sandwiches & it took over an hour to get our food. It was a fairly busy when we walked in but most of the tables already had their food. We'll not be back. read more

Great food friendly staff have some unique items on menu fried jalapeños are excellent have been in 6 times since they opened and was not disappointed read more

Hubby had the Grit Dip (french dip) it was good but the bread to meat ratio was off and needed more au jus. I had the salmon tacos with chips and salsa. They were tasty :) We will probably go back. They need to work on the acoustics of the room...way too loud and it makes it hard to hear during normal table conversation. read more

Very friendly staff. Great selection on the menu. Great food. Atmosphere is very warm & inviting.

Fabulous food! Very friendly staff! Will definitely be returning and bringing friends!!!

Went last night with 5 other people to celebrate a birthday! We had an amazing time, the food is always soooo good and customer service is beyond great! Love that we have this restaurant in downtown! read more

Good food and service but has a very loud atmosphere. Was hard to hold a conversation, felt like I was yelling across the table.

A bit pricy but their blacken shrimp is so good and the grilled cheese sandwich.... Well it ain't yo momma's! Haven't had anything I didn't like here been about a half dozen times! read more

recieved great feed back from some co-workers that this place had excellent burgers. Grit doesn't disappoint. Great service, great food, clean, very friendly staff and a great seasonal drink menu. Oh, and thier burgers are great too! I've been back two other times and service is always quick, especially during the week when I have to get back to the office. It can get busy, so if your in a hurry with a big party, show up before the lunchtime rush. read more

This restaurant is amazing. Not only is the food amazing the staff is phenomenal!!! I work in the industry and service is huge. I have to say they have it down. Tonight we had the pleasure of interacting with Isaac and Shauna (sp?) They were great. Shauna is one of the most amazing person. She was the true definition of service! I would work with her in a minute! If for no other reason you stop in it's to meet her and the staff. The food is an added bonus. Thank you for an exceptional evening! read more

Really really yummy. Ordered the poutine fries and they were great. Everything I ordered was delicious.

The salmon tacos and Caesar salad were amazing! You'll need to make reservations because it gets busy but so worth the wait!!

Amazing Every time. Highly recommend the cauliflower in the appetizer section. The poutine as amazing as well.

The downtown location is great with amazing potential. The food is decent and fairly average. Nothing particularly stands out except maybe the shrimp sandwich. The couple times I've ordered a cocktail it wasn't very good. The environment in the expansion is cold and not very inviting and we've never been seated in the main area even when tables available. We were hoping for something with a better dinner menu. We really miss the previous menu and environment. read more

We were passing through on our way home from a ski trip to Sun Valley and stopped for lunch and this place well exceeded our expectations. Delicious food well designed and impeccably prepared. Even better was the super friendly, warm, competent service. All very well priced. What a lovely addition to the increasingly pleasant downtown Caldwell scene. read more

They have the best Salmon Caesar salad! Plus their Caesar dressing is homemade and is to die for. Also, bomb rootbeer on draft!

Wow! The restaurant has such a great vibe! The menu has something for everyone. Wonderful service and the best Cobb salad that I've ever had. Lucky for us it's just down the street from our sons college read more
