Bacon Avocado Burrito
Michael D.

Located right inside the Tacoma Comedy Club on 6th Ave, this breakfast spot has officially become our absolute favorite. The breakfast burritos are incredible--consistently some of the best we've ever had. If you're looking for a drink to go with your meal, their Bloody Marys are just as good and perfectly made. We've tried a bit of everything on the menu, from the hearty burritos to the pancakes, and everything has been top-tier. The staff is great and super accommodating, which makes the whole experience even better. Whether you're a local or just passing through Tacoma, I highly recommend stopping in for a solid meal.!!!

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!
Moani H.

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!
Olystacy B.

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?
Debra T.

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
Rene D.

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.

I had to refrain from finishing it quickly it was so delicious and smooth. We came for drinks and ended up also getting a charcuterie board. The entire experience was tailored to great customer service with a high end feel. The board was beautifully laid out and had a variety of meats, cheese, jam, hummus and toasted bread. It fed three of us with some left over bites. The drinks are crafted by a bartender who clearly knows what they're doing. Perfect balance of alcohol and mixer in very cute glassware. The bar is intimate. When you walk in there is a crescent shaped booth to the right followed by the bar with stools. Then to the left are single booths lining the wall to the back of the bar. We sat in the crescent booth and had a great spot to people watch and enjoy the vibe of the bar. The room is red. The chairs are leather. And the music is jazzy with an old school Sinatra feel at times. Once the bar was full and the line was out the door the bartender came and slide a door open between the crescent booth and bar. Everyone in the bar halted as he revealed a red room with more seating and neon lights. It was entertaining watching the bar come to life on a Saturday early evening. It gets busy so get in for happy hour and enjoy discounted crafty cocktails and bites.

Made reservations at the location and waited a little over 30 min. Was sat down in the Sinatra room…read morewhich is the Red room which was small and hot.

But things change and I heard that the ownership changed here. I also kind of forget about this place as it's tucked away in a part of town I rarely go to. But there was a large group of guys, including myself that was doing a social here and so I decided to go with them and give it another try. I didn't have anything to eat so I'm not sure what I would think about it. But they do have a nice tap list of beers and the selection is fairly large. Lots of choices. So I got a couple of beers. What I did notice also was that for a pretty large group of people they managed to handle the volume pretty well and tuck all of us in to the outside (but covered) seating so that was pretty slick.

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.

The hanging spheres, the loud colors, and the wall art combine to make you feel like you've stepped into another time. I appreciate how they go all out with their holiday decorations! They've got a delicious chilled ube drink called Wildcat, and a Busy Buddy special which is a shot of fernet + a Miller, which is a must every time we go. I appreciate the filipino-infused menu; the sandwiches are succulent, and the fries delectable. I've found the service is usually pretty cold - like they want to take your order and get you out of their face. But they're always prompt and double-check to make sure that what you ordered is what you actually want, which I appreciate.
