Hands down the most memorable breakfast I've had all year. This is the quintessential southern breakfast spot. They're only open on Saturdays and Sundays so you gotta catch em on the weekend. Seating inside is a bit tight but open for groups and there is bar seating. There are several tables on the covered patio as well. The service and the food are impeccable. Several options. You must must try the loaded grits and have a biscuit (maybe 2!) I even took a biscuit to go. The porkchops were huge, fried to perfection, and flavorful. Please be patient. They make everything to order, and perfection takes time. read more

Grit's Cafe isn't playing around when it comes to breakfast. If you show up at opening time, expect a short line to get in the cafe. Once the doors are opened, you just take a seat at whichever table is open. It's a small cafe that's clean and nicely decorated. The servers are friendly and personable. They have a nice selection of breakfasts and everything I saw being delivered to other tables looked delicious. I saw some massive breakfast sandwiches as well. I had the Cajun Omelette which was good but that biscuit was one of the best I've ever tasted. I'd go back for a dozen to take home if they sold them by the dozen. My wife had the Wakie-Wakie which came with Conecuh sausage which was delicious. I will absolutely be back when I'm there this spring. read more

The food was great. The place was cute as a button and the people were fantastic. Definitely try the biscuits.

We stopped in for a late breakfast on a Sunday morning while headed to the beach in the gulf, AL. Always happy to try a local spot. The menu here is good. I went with the pork chops, eggs, biscuit and potato meal. My wife had two eggs, bacon, potatoes and a biscuit. There was about a 30-40 minute wait but we were seated as soon as possible and service was friendly. The menu did describe the chops as "thick" so they understandably took a bit to cook to perfection (all items are made to order per the menu), but it was probably 45 minutes from our order to service because of that. Many tables around us who arrived after us got their food first--but again, chops take time. I guess I didn't expect that much time so a quick heads up at order would have been appreciated, but not an overwhelming deal. Eggs were cooked perfect to order for both of us, bacon good, potatoes good. The chops were very good. I did think my plate came with gravy for that biscuit but if so, I didn't get that--but had plenty to eat. Everything was a touch on the salty side (even my eggs had a visible sprinkling of seasoning salt) and the huge biscuits were flavorful but very flaky--so likely even better in gravy. Would definitely try this place again if passing through the area. VERY fair prices, great layout, good folks. read more

Hey there for the first time last week and it was some of the best breakfast food. I've had anywhere in the Montgomery Prattville area. I got the biscuit and gravy and then a Cajun omelette and I gotta tell you get plenty of food. I left there satisfied and stuffed. My wife had the blueberry pancakes and I gotta tell you she said some of the best pancake she's ever had in her life. We highly recommend The grease Café. read more

Wow! I can't say enough about this place! The service, the food and the experience were all top notch! The burger was bigger than my head, our kids plates were so delicious and the weather omelet and biscuit and gravy were mouth watering! Thanks for your Southern Hospitality. We loved it! read more

Fantastic southern breakfast with excellent and friendly service. Ordered the grit bowl loaded with sausage and cheese and the French toast. Both were wonderful. We use yelp extensively while traveling and once again it did not let us down. read more

I cannot say enough good things about this place! The worst part is the wait because of how good this place is! I tried the shrimp and grits, chicken and waffles, steak and eggs, and cinnamon roll.

My partner and I happened to be spending the weekend in Prattville and decided to give this place a try because of a recommendation from a friend. We arrived around 12 on a Sunday and every table was full. We had to wait about 20 minutes to be seated, which was fine. It showed how popular this little joint was. I ordered the special that day, which was a grilled turkey and provolone sandwich with corn salsa. It also came with fries, which was a happy surprise, though a little much. I took home some leftovers. My partner got their pancake breakfast with sausage and he devoured his meal. His only complaint was that he wished for more because it was so good, despite the fact he was so full (the pancakes are for sure hefty). If you find yourself in town on a weekend, definitely give this place a try. It may be unassuming on the outside and a little out of the way, but it is worth it. We will for sure be back ourselves. read more

Stopped by on our drive down to FL for a family vacation. My kid special requested chocolate chips in his pancakes, which was not a problem at all. My husband said his biscuits and gravy was among the best he has ever had. I had never had fry bread tacos before so I was a bit nervous, but my waitress told me it was a good choice (AND she was right). We all really enjoyed our food! As we were pulling out of the parking lot my husband stated the obvious, "you realize that we're not going to top that meal the rest of the trip." Can't say enough good things. read more

The food was amazing! Everything was homemade and fresh. The server was knowledgeable and made our experience very pleasant.

The food was great the fish was amazing potatoes were a small portion but really good the sausage and grits were definitely my favorite part of my experience the customer service was helpful and I cnt wait to come back. read more

Recently moved to the area and our journey to try new places has begun. I have missed southern cooking and this place does not disappoint on any account. I got the biscuits and gravy, as well as the ribeye omelette, it was excellent. Since I ordered two entrees, I had to take some home for later. I enjoyed it a second time. I plan to be back. Thanks Grit's Cafe! read more

We visited Grits Cafe for brunch. Our server was phenomenal. Knowledgeable, prompt and continuously checking on us. We tried a variety of their offerings and enjoyed each dish. We had three different omelets and each was fresh and tasty. Each of us tried a different grit style including cheese, regular and loaded grits. Huge hot, fluffy cat head biscuits. Our grand had scrambled eggs, bacon and fruit. She loved the eggs. Large servings and pretty plating. Fresh, home cooked food made the wait worth it. I didn't rate for ambiance as it was almost impossible to converse due to the acoustics in the dining room. We will choose deck seating on our next visit and we will be back. read more

A genuine small delicious cafe nestled in the Villages Too community Millbrook. The burgers were fresh and homemade, fries had a nice seasoning on them. Loaded grits were delicious. I ordered a small and it was plenty. Comes with a big piece of toast. All the waitresses were friendly and atmosphere was comfortable to sit and eat. read more

Because it's a small venue and only open 2 days a week w very limited hours I would not go there unless I don't mind waiting. We were a group of 8 and our wait was a little over an hour to be seated and then an hour until our food arrived . Our meals were brought out two at a time and by the rime the last lady got hers the first people served were finished. The food was good but not really worth a two hour wait. The cqfe was nicely decorated and appeared to be very clean. I wouldn't recommend this place for a lg group but for two to four people it's fine . read more

Worth the wait. Cute breakfast place in Millbrook. From grit bowl to eggs, bacon and huge biscuits and French toast all tasty

Food is great and consistent. The servers are always friendly. I'd definitely recommend this place.

This small, quaint and personable eatery was amongst the top I have been to in the area! I wouldn't recommend the ribeye sandwich but everything else my large group had was amazing! The breakfast sandwich was huge, the grit bowl was tasty, loved the biscuits and gravy and the wakey wakey hit the spot. Mix the orange and peach mimosa and it was perfect! Show these hard working ladies some love! Had a great brunch on a Saturday morning on the porch! read more

Stopped here on our trip back to Chicago and was beyond impressed. Cute little place, it you weren't looking for it you would miss it. Everything out party of 5 had was amazing! The loaded grits were rich and creamy, pancakes were soft and dense, and the biscuit was EVERYTHING! Sweet staff as well. Took a little longer than we are used too, but the food was so good and the server was so attentive, it did t really matter. Best of luck to this place. Wish I took pictures to share but everything was gone too fast! read more

Holy cow. Driving north on I65 looking for a breakfast spot and found this gem. The biscuits were light and fluffy. No one in our group had grits though. The omelet was light and fluffy. The chicken and waffles were great and the spicey maple syrup was very interesting. Our table shared an order of biscuits and gravy it was yummy. A nice lady came around asking how our meal was and evidently she was the owner and biscuit maker. When we told her the biscuits were the best on our trip she was beaming. read more

Went to this brunch place after a lot of recommendations. Wait time to be seated and ambiance was decent. Waitress was friendly...BUT wait time was unacceptable for breakfast food. After waiting for about 45 mins the food the only thing that was "edible" was the bacon and sausage. The pancakes were thick like cornbread and my husband had scrambled eggs that had the shells in it...Maybe it was just a bad day for them. read more

We stopped in here looking for a new breakfast spot. It was super busy but we were seated outdoors in a nice sunny spot. The shrimp and grits were delicious! Nice size sweet gulf shrimp and a hearty portion of well seasoned cheese grits with smoked sausage. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The coffee was a bit watered down and weak. That would be my only complaint. read more

Food was good. Service was disjointed. All three orders were delivered separately with at least 5 minutes between. Servers weren't rude and maybe it was just me but I felt that they were curt and didn't give me a feeling that they cared about having us as customers. read more

Just like the name the grits are amazing here honestly thought it wouldn't be that good but it's really good and the customer service is amazing read more

I was very excited about this place when I heard the name. But the menu was not what I was expecting. I ordered the pancakes and bacon and had to order a side of eggs... it was kind of weird they didn't have a combination of all 3... Don't order your bacon crispy cause it was too crispy had a slight burnt taste to it. The staff was friendly, read more
