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
Michelle T.

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.

Shrimp and grits from the brunch menu

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!

I've never had a bite of food at Grit that wasn't delicious. The menu is seasonal and every season is terrific. Worth the drive from Oxford!

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!

A comfortable interior with a few tables and chairs, and a large covered outdoor deck. Our server was friendly and fun, who made sure we had everything we needed while there. She brought menus and took our drink orders. After giving the concise menu a read we decided to give the Fried Mushrooms to start. Fried golden brown, large plump shrooms were well made and served piping hot. I wanted a bowl of Gumbo so gave theirs a try. It was pretty good, not exactly my choice it was a little to sweet for my liking, but pretty good. For my entree I went for Guy's Fish and Chips and it was very good, nicely battered crispy golden brown with succulent fish with a side of house fried chips and hush puppies. The fish was done very well, the chips also very good along with the puppies. A great meal at a fair value. Still a very good meal, with friendly service in a great location on the water. Fills up quickly with the short hours. 4.5 Stars rounded up for our great server 01318

Taylor grocery and restaurant located in Taylor…read more Get here early or you'll be waiting for a loooooooooong time. This place is packed, and for good reason. We stopped in tonight for dinner after dropping a kid off at Ole Miss. this building is from the 1800's, which is pretty cool in and of itself. When you roll up to Taylor Grocery, it literally is like taking a step back in time. This is about as old school as you'll find. We entered and left our name and then were told to wait outside until our name was called. The wait was only maybe 10 minutes. We were seated and given menus and began our perusing. We settled on a sample app, a bowl of gumbo, a small fried catfish dinner and a country fried pork meal. The sample was quick to arrive, hush puppies, boneless chicken wings, catfish nuggets and fried shrimp. Everything was hot and delicious. The entrees arrived shortly after. The catfish dinner was hot and delicious, the fries with rotella were also hot and delicious and the baked beans were also good. The country fried pork was cooked well and also hot and delicious and crunchy. The gravy was flavorful and the side of okra and fries were also tasty. We finished the meal with a slice of pecan pie with ice cream. The ice cream is absolutely delicious and the pie was great too. I will note, this is the south, salt is used liberally on everything down here and Taylor Grocery is no exception. So be warned, it will have a bold salty flavor if you're eating fried foods here. The server was fantastic, Jeff the host was also fantastic. Refills were given freely and liberally and the live music was outstanding as well. You absolutely must try Taylor Grocery, the ambience and history and food is absolutely awesome.

Our recent experience with Sarah Margaret Hewlett was downright rude and unlike anything we've ever experienced there before. I had read other negative reviews and heard similar comments from locals since she took over, but it's disappointing to experience it firsthand. Taylor Grocery has a long history and a loyal following, but when customers aren't treated with respect, they'll go elsewhere...try Lusco's if you are in Taylor - you'll have a much better experience and better food. It's a shame to see a place that meant so much to me and my family over the years change this way. We will never go back.
