    Blackberry tart
    Tara G.

    So very lovely! Excellent food and amazing service. I love to try new places when I'm traveling, and this was worth the trip. There are daily specials which I'm sure are with a trip back for me. I don't even like squash but it came with the steak tips and I ate it all. I had the blackberry tart and it was perfect with one of the best crusts I've had in a dessert.

    The Breeze at Dawn

    Everything was delicious! We started with the bread basket (very generous portions and variety for the menu price), then had the African spiced chicken, and the shrimp and peas for entrees. Both were really tasty and interesting dishes with somewhat unexpected combos. We split the crispy rice fritters for dessert, with the bay leaf ice cream providing a nice counterpoint. Drinks were also fun: I had "The Breeze at Dawn," and then had another because it was a refreshing and well balanced cocktail for this gin fan. We appreciated being able to sit outside, and also that the staff checked in on us to make sure we were doing alright with the lively large party next to us on the patio. We thought we might've been lost in the shuffle when it took 15 minutes to get our drinks after ordering the first round, but after that minor hiccup service was top-notch. Would absolutely recommend Grit to others!

    Bananas Foster French Toast

    I loved this place and I cannot wait to go back the next time I am in town! We went on Sunday after church for Sunday brunch. I ordered the breakfast sandwich and holy cow! That thing was loaded! There was so much ham I almost couldn't fit it in my mouth! My dad ordered the bananas foster French toast and he ate all of it!

    Great atmosphere! Indoor and outdoor covered seating . We are outside and had a wonderful brunch. Employee were cheerful and attentive. Food was fantastic. I had the Bananas Foster French Toast and loved it. My wife had the burger without a bun. She said it tasted great. My daughter had the breakfast sandwich and loved it. Large sandwich so she only ate half. Would be great to share with someone if your not a big eater or on a budget.

    My mom and I were lucky enough to get in for brunch and it was delicious... quality food, amazing taste and fabulous service. I highly recommend giving it a try!

    This place is defiantly a gem! Located in a small beautiful area in taylor,ms..Service was fantastic, everyone smiles and greets you with enthusiasm. The restaurant has a farmhouse feel to it, the floors look original. The food was really good, I had the roast beef special po boy and my wife had the grilled chicken sandwich with a fried egg on top. A small mistake was made on my wife's meal, and with out hesitation they immediately comped us for there incredible banana bread pudding with homemade vanilla ice cream on top. Again, kudos to the service, management, and chef. Definitely will go back! Can't wait to try the brunch.

    Lovely exterior

    I was lucky enough to have brunch at Grit this weekend, as I was in town for a friend's wedding. The restaurant is absolutely gorgeous, from the facade and the art all the way down to the plates and mugs. The food rivals the best I've had in San Francisco, and the service was friendly and attentive. I am posting a bunch of photos because the spot is very new and people should know about it!

    Fantastic food, service, and drink menu. Awesome area just 15 minutes outside of Oxford. Worth the drive over either before or after a game.

Plenty of parking and easily accessible with friendly people and great service. Situated in a Mom and Pop roadhouse style truck stop is the All American Restaurant the entire building is dated but exceptionally clean. With a scattering of tables and a hot bar in the center of the dining room promising all you can eat Thursday through Saturday for the bargain price of $9.99. Look at me a day early just my luck! I've come in search of breakfast and it seems I have come to the right place. I was greeted practically as soon as I sat down and presented with a menu, made aware of the breakfast special and my drink order taken. I chose The Works with 3 eggs scrambled medium add onions and cheese, 3 pieces of thick bacon, 2 sausage patties, grits and 2 small pancakes! If y'all should get here and my truck is still in the lot wake me and send me down the road I feel a coma coming on! The wait time for my prefer was very minimal and the presentation was good, it certainly smells good. There are a few people in here and the atmosphere is light and the chatter of people talking is a welcome sound. The flavors are good and the portions are more than adequate the pancakes were fluffy and just the right size. All in all a great experience and I will return again! Y'all give them a try!

My manicotti was so bland it could've been served at a tax seminar. For prices that suggest a culinary revelation, we got dishes that wouldn't impress a truck stop diner. The service matched the food's enthusiasm--our server was polite but they weren't giving the Olive Garden a run for their money, let's be real.. The bill hit like a personal insult, far too steep for such a lackluster show. Word is the ramen might be better, but after this, I'm not betting on it. Oxford's food scene isn't barren, far from it. The town boasts gems that deliver honest, delicious fare without the ego. But spots like SoLa, with their trendy pomp and inflated tabs, are a bitter letdown for anyone who's ventured beyond state lines and tasted what distant lands can offer. The Moms and I left wishing we'd picked a place that respects both palate and purse.
