Just had the most aggravating experience at this location, and I don't know what happened but this place has gone down. After being seated just before 3pm, it took almost an hour to even get beignets. I had to ask for water for our table because our waitress was all over the place and forgot. Our silverware had only knives (2 in one) no forks. Our orders were the simplest thing (avocado toast, eggs, bacon, coffee) and we didn't get the beignets until almost 3:45pm. It wasn't even busy the way I've seen it be on other weekends so the delay for a such a small party seemed odd. Multiple tables around us had theirs before our waitress even remembered to bring fried bread? Wild. I asked if the egg that was part of my meal was boiled, they said it was poached and surprise -- it was boiled. So they didn't know the menu. My food was obviously put together quickly (after complaining about the wait to the manager) and was so bland, I don't see the point in coming back. I know they have better dishes, but the simple ones shouldn't be that complicated. The whole situation made no sense from the beginning to end. It's ironic that the manager said we would be in great hands as we got seated, because my experience was anything but great. Two stars because they were at least polite about it, but that was ridiculous. read more

A food spot that actually cares about quality! I'd definitely come back. We decided to try it on a Sunday after church. A group of 9 (5 adults and 4 Kids). We waited about 45 minutes and spoiler alert, id be willing to wait longer for their food. The ambiance was very pleasant and didn't give your average Atlanta brunch spot. No hookah, crazy food items, or rude servers. It was the complete opposite! Kid friendly and Our server was very informative about the menu items. I wanted to be simple so I tried their catfish with cheese grits and French fries and a side of 3 wings. The catfish was a very generous size and 10/10 if you ask me. The fries and grits were delicious and filling. I couldn't even complain about anything if I wanted to. The wings were seasoned to the bone! When I tell you I was impressed and glad I tried them. This is why Grits and eggs is better than most of these brunch spots in Atlanta. I will be sure to try it again and bring my friends. read more

This was one of the best brunch spot we have been to in the ATL. The fine service starts at the door, the food was excellent and the atmosphere was awesome. Total experience was great! Parking may be their only concern so plan accordingly. Perfect ambience for indoor and outdoor environments. read more

Well decided to go back to this restaurant my previous experience was excellent service, and food a very nice experience. This time what a waste food unseasoned coffee cold and waitress noticed how long I waited for my food, so she had to check on order multiple times. I hardly take the time to write a review, but for this overrated, overpriced for the service restaurant decided to take time to put them on notice not meeting the mark on providing a good customer experience. read more

So there was a significant improvement over my last visit from 3 years ago. Maybe I just picked the right thing lol. I had the curry shrimp and grits this time and they were delicious. However i will say when my friend was attempting to order drinks they were out of several liquors on a Saturday afternoon so not sure what was up with that. Either way my experience was great. Note: parking has a charge now. Either valet or park in the parking deck and pay via QR code. read more

My sister friend and I went on Wednesday morning around 10:30a for her birthday so no wait. I know this place gets STUPID packed on weekends and holidays. She recommended it since she said they have good wings. The restaurant inside and outside was nice. Great lighting, great layout. Cute bar though we didn't attend since we had our kiddos with us. Our waitress was new to the floor meaning it was her first day out of training and despite this, she was awesome! She was attentive, accommodating, and understanding. We started with the beignets, and then we both ordered the 3 wings with two sides, and she ordered an extra 3 wings dinner with two sides. Her sides were yams, macaroni and cheese, and collards. I had the wings with yams, macaroni and cheese, and roasted vegetables. We did it this way so we could be economically feasible while satisfying our taste buds, kids, and appetites. Let me say before forgetting, they serve breakfast and soul food the entire time they're open and I believe they close at 3pm. Our food was great! Not a huge fan of sweets especially since I didn't like the beignets in NOLA too much (yeah I said it). But these were buttery, flaky and soft. They had the right balance of sweet, savory, and crunch. Definitely a must try. Now onto the main entrees. The collards were good but unexpectedly spicier than we imagined. My friend's daughter reacted to them and she's half Nigerian so they were spicy for an almost two year who's used to spicy lol But the flavor was good so if you're into that, there you have it! The macaroni and cheese was good. 7/10. Nothing to be like ooooo that ish was bomb. It was good, no complaints. The roasted veggies were awesome. A good balance of crunch and tenderness, and they were seasoned well. My little love loved them! Now, the chicken wings were AMAZING! Not too big in size like steroid chicken wings and not teeny tiny like a baby chicken. Just right! The flavor, the juiciness, the everything! It was the right kinda chicken wang! Our yams were cold when they brought them out like they were sitting or didn't turn on the pot but once our server bought us fresh, hot yams, they completed the meal. 7/10. The ONLY thing that I/we didn't like were the cornbread muffins which was disappointing. Those things were hard like golf balls and cold. They weren't a main character anyway so we wasn't tripping too hard on them. Lastly, parking is in the garage and if you're lucky, you can park at one of the three retail spaces for free. Gotta pay for the others! 7.5 out of 10 overall. Please go and enjoy. I'll be going back! read more

Oh my! The food is Awesome! The grits were just the Best, & I'm a Southern Girl, I know my grits. Go for them if nothin else. The portions are plentiful, you won't leave hungry. The service was also great! Our waitress was very attentive & oh so pleasant, she took very good care of us. Also go for the beignets, yum yum! Can't wait to go back soon. read more

My husband found this place on our way out for an outing and I'm so glad he did. We were greeted by the hostess upon arrival and sat down immediately. I ordered a passion fruit lemonade which was delicious but extremely sweet. I did have to water it down a bit with my glass of water. Our server was very attentive and was able to help my husband when it came down to what dish he recommended was the best. My husband ordered the catfish and grits which he was very appreciative the server suggested. I ordered a create your own omelette: cheddar cheese, bacon and spinach. Our son had the scrambled eggs with cheese, sausage patty and toast. We also ordered the beignets which were phenomenal. We enjoyed this place and can't wait to come back and visit in the future. read more

We checked this spot out for brunch. Parking is a bit tricky as you can either valet for $10 or $5 to park in the garage. Parking in the garage is limited and a bit tight so be warned. The decor is cozy and relaxed. They had a piano player which was really nice. This spot was a great find. While it was super crowded, I put our name in for the clearest so when we showed up, we were quickly seated. They do have a kids menu which was reasonably priced so that was awesome for my two hungry kids! Do order the beignets! 5 come in an order and they are flakey and delicious. One of the best beignets ever. I tried the blackened salmon with grits. Fantastic grits with a nice hint of spice and the blackened salmon was well cooked and flavorful. Such a good brunch meal! My husband ordered the chicken and waffles and was equally impressed. Also the peach iced tea was amazing! Highly recommend the drinks. The waitstaff was attentive and very helpful throughout. Highly recommend!!! read more

Very casual inside - dining room good size, also has large outdoor seating - the bar is small maybe 4 chairs - we were greeted as soon as we walked in and led to our table - the waitress came over pretty quickly, greeted us and had water sent over - we then gave her our order and we waited a bit BUT I was ok with that because everything came out hot and delish, everyone in my party was very happy - 1 mishap - someone's food had hair in it - they took it back and sent a fresh order back out - next time I'm in ATL (which is pretty often) this will be on my list to do again ** maybe after 11am so I can have an espresso martini (as I visited on Sunday) read more

I have been wanting to try this place for a while, I decided to go on a solo brunch on a Friday afternoon. Location: The location is in a cute retail shopping area, with apartments over it. Parking: theres a parking garage where you pay or you can valet. My parking was free and I don't know how much valet was. Service: The service was perfect!! From walking in to leaving, I waited about 5 minutes but the manager or owner was friendly and made sure to find somewhere for me to sit. Ambience/Crowd: it's pretty casual and family friendly. It's a tight fit in there. Food/drink: The food was delicious! I had the shrimp and grits with pancakes, the only thing I would change is taking the shell off the tail of the shrimp. Will I be back? Yes! So many other things to try. And the service was great! read more

The overall experience was absolutely terrible. They were out of a lot of items on the menu, even sodas. It took 90+ minutes to receive our food and when it arrived our food was lukewarm or cold. The eggs were cold, bacon half cooked, waffles cold and grit lukewarm. The waitress did not refill our water glasses. This was the worse service I've ever experienced. I will never go back to this restaurant again, nor will I ever recommend it. read more

I enjoyed Grits and Eggs Breakfast Kitchen. The food is delicious, especially the ribeye! It's a nice size, tender and juicy, cooked to perfection. I liked the collard greens a lot and my friend enjoyed the chicken and waffles. They have cocktails, mocktails, specialty tea and more. The blueberry mint lavender lemonade is SO good, the perfect blend of sweet, but refreshing. The wait wasn't very long for us once at the restaurant. We put our name on the waitlist an hour before we planned to arrive. Once we got there and checked in, we were seated shortly after. When you arrive, check in to let them know you're there. Don't wait for them to text or call. Service was good. I liked the touch of the piano player. It's a nice chill vibe, but still with a little aesthetic that's not too much if you're just looking for good food! Valet was $10, but you can park yourself in the garage for $5. read more

I absolutely love the ambiance, the music, the atmosphere is incredible and so welcoming. To top it all off the food is fantastic- so good in fact I forgot to take a picture! I'll show my empty plates instead lol. I loved the service. This might be my favorite location. Keep it up! Keep creating "safe" spaces for us to have our culture roam freely. I will definitely be back and brining new folks each time. read more

My first meal in ATL was alright... the fried chicken honey biscuit sandwich was really good. The chicken was juicy, crispy, well seasoned, and cooked perfectly. Without the honey, the biscuit would've been very dry, as I noticed when I tasted a piece of biscuit that was naked without sauce. The beignets were disappointing. One of the best textured beignets I've ever had - crispy and pillowy soft - that tasted like oil with a hint of sweet glaze. I was expecting more. Luckily I was satisfied enough with the sandwich. I recommend visiting to try the fried chicken sandwich and I may return to try other chicken entrees, but I wouldn't touch the beignets. The glaze needs to be a lot more forward in taste or perhaps a different cooking oil would work. read more

Hidden gem in Smyrna. I came here on a Saturday afternoon for brunch with my nieces. I read the reviews about parking so I opted to valet and skip that headache. When we arrived, they had live music and I was sold. Not to mention the hostess was so lovely! She directed us to a few seats while we waited for our table. I sang along and danced to the pianist in the meantime. Once seated, we were greeted by our server Mariah, and the top tier service continued. We could tell she was busy, which was fine because she did communicate that to us. The beignets we ordered were complimentary as a result, which was a nice surprise! They were bit oily for my liking, but my nieces gobbled them up. They gave them a 4.5 out of 5. For drinks, I had a mocktail and my nieces had water. My mocktail was very refreshing! For our meal, we had the chicken and waffles, create your own omelette, and two pancakes and eggs. We all truly enjoyed our meals and the music playing. They were playing all of my parents oldies, and I loved every second of it. The decor is pretty simple. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Outdoor did look like you had more room. They even had an igloo option. There was a group dining there when we arrived. I didn't notice any spaces for IG photo opps for those who are into that kinda thing but if you're looking for great food and service, this is the place to check out! I will definitely be back. read more

Pleasant surprise. The drinks weren't anything to write home about but the crab cakes were loaded with crab and absolutely delicious. Our waitress was friendly but not very knowledgeable. Eggs were cooked well. I think parking was around $10 for 4 hours which is typical Atlanta. My main only true regret was sitting in the sun. I'll be back read more

I had recently visited the Buckhead location. It was a 5-star review. I invited a friend a to the Vinings location. I was so disappointed. I wanted her to have a lovely experience. The place was just about empty and we were seated next to the restrooms. I asked for a different seat and we were placed next to the server station. I suppose they were expecting larger parties to come barreling through the doors at any moment. Service was lacking from the moment we walked in until we left. It was soon after opening so I thought perhaps they were running late with morning set up... They just didn't seem to enjoy what they were doing. The food was good. Up to par. Presentation was fine. The place looked a little sterile in spite of the same warm colour and furniture scheme as Buckhead. It was in a mixed use complex so it's hard to overcome that. Be prepared to pay for parking. It's done via QR code and credit card. Just make the effort to go the distance to the Buckhead location in the plaza at the corner of Piedmont and Sydney Marcus. read more

Steven was INCREDIBLE. In the midst of the Memorial Day traffic, birthdays and celebrations, Steven was attentive, kind, and had a great sense of humor while we waited. He even went to the back and made some beignets for us after he saw we had been waiting for a while. this location was amazing and Steven is top-tier! NO REGRETS read more

I don't like leaving negative reviews, actually don't like writing them at all...but this visit was quite disappointing--especially because my prior experience here (6-9 months ago) was excellent. This time, the service was very slow and the food was terribly inconsistent. We ordered wings as an appetizer (they come in sets of three). They were fried and seasoned well, but extremely small for the price--two orders came to $30 for six wings, which felt hard to justify. A cup of coffee didn't arrive until roughly 40 minutes after we were seated, around the same time the wings came out. For entrées, we ordered blackened salmon with grits and scrambled eggs, and an order of "fried chicken." Because the wings were seasoned and fried so well, I expected the fried chicken entrée to be outstanding in the same way--but it wasn't. The grits were lukewarm when they arrived. The salmon was overcooked, but okay. The scrambled eggs were definitely powdered eggs with a strange, off flavor and were left untouched after one bite. Now, to be perfectly clear: the "fried chicken" was not fried--at all. It was definitely Shake-and-Bake / oven-baked style breading, and there was absolutely no mistaking it. Presenting that as fried chicken felt dishonest, and it went uneaten. We were also given plastic utensils because there were no clean forks available, which added to the sense that things were disorganized. We tried the collard greens as well, and the flavor was off. With the tip, we spent about $150 on a very underwhelming breakfast for three. At $50 per person, you would expect at least one member of your party to leave satisfied. That certainly was not the case here. I'm hoping this was simply an off day, but based on this visit I can't recommend the experience right now. If the quality returns to the level of my previous visit, I may update this review. read more

The hostess met us with a spectacular greeting. Our server Cori was pleasant as well. Great outdoor seating and the atmosphere on the inside was nice and the music was subtle in the background. I ordered the jerk shrimp and grits with a pancake. I must say the jerk was super spicy and the sauce overpowered the grits. I was unable to eat the shrimp and only had 2 bites of grits around the edges. In my opinion the server missed an opportunity to offer another option. The pancake was good. I tried my friend's lamb chop and it was cooked to perfection. I'm rating a 4 because of the customer service and if given another option I would have thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I will have to come again to give it another try. read more

Great breakfast spot in a convenient location! Location and Parking This review is for the Summerhill location; they aren't on Yelp yet but I needed to put this somewhere! Located in Summerhill, parking is located in a deck immediately to the left of the entrance. It is free until 6pm, and paid from 6pm-8am. Either way, you must register by scanning a QR code or via text. Venue and Atmosphere They have plenty of tables outside, but it was cold when we visited. The restaurant wasn't crowded (day after Thanksgiving) and we were seated immediately. They feature celebrity photos on the wall (not people that have eaten here, just famous folk) as well as a plaque honoring Hank Aaron and a piano decorated with painted wooden bats and "44" which is Aaron's Jersey number. Service Service was prompt, courteous, and efficient. Food and Beverages I had a standard Arnold Palmer and the Crab Cakes Bendict. My date had the catfish and grits. While both were delicious, the crab cakes are a standout. They were seasoned and cooked very well with a good amount of meat. I always order Benedict when I go out because my attempts at poaching an egg have failed miserably lol, but I know I can come here and get an excellent meal. Verdict I'll be back, hopefully in the spring to enjoy the patio! read more

Enjoyed a nice brunch after church with my family. We did not have a reservation so we did have to wait about 25 minutes before we were seated. Once we sat down, Mikala was our server. She was quick and polite. There was a pianist playing which was nice entertainment while we ate. We started off with the beignets. They were so light and fluffy. Must get! We went with the chicken and waffles and honey butter chicken biscuit for the entrees. Everything was delicious. Highly recommend this place for breakfast or brunch. read more

My family and I were in town for the OSU national championship game downtown. Before we wanted to head down to the game festivities we wanted to grab brunch and this place came up with splendid reviews. It was a Monday but it was holiday so it was pretty packed but luckily we were able to be sat when we walked in. We received great service, but the food did take a little long but it was well worth the wait. I ordered the chicken and waffles (banana foster style) and WOW the best fried chicken ive ever had and the best chicken and waffles ever. The chicken was cooked to golden perfection and the banana foster were perfect. The next time im in Atlanta I will def. Come here again. read more

The service was great. My food and drinks were just ok. I ordered the pancake and eggs. Got my eggs fried hard but they had NO seasoning and weren't hot upon arrival. It came with bacon but it was a little too limp. I like my bacon a little more crispy. The pancakes had great flavor and were hot. So that was a plus. My grits were tasty but also barely warm. Lastly, I also ordered a peach Bellini, and I wish it was colder. I know this sounds bad, but I think this place has a ton of potential, so I want to try again. Please note, parking is not free. Valet is $10 and the paid self parking via parking app is $5.55. I saw the guard out checking cars and even a few cars with tickets so don't play around with that. read more

I've been to two other Grits & Eggs locations, but this one in Vinings is my favorite by far. The service was immaculate from start to finish. From the moment we were greeted to being seated and waited on, everyone was welcoming and attentive. The food was just as impressive. We started with the beignets, and they were perfect. At other restaurants, including other Grits & Eggs locations, they sometimes skimp on the powdered sugar. Beignets without the sugar are just fried bread! Not here. They were generous with both the glaze and powdered sugar, and it made all the difference. I ordered fried shrimp à la carte with scrambled eggs and a biscuit on the side, along with a blueberry lavender lemonade mocktail. The shrimp breading was so crisp and flavorful, and my husband said the same about his fried catfish. Everything tasted great, and the experience overall was outstanding. Highly recommend this location! read more

The best carryout breakfast! Just go! Ordered a few items that are pictured. The grits were so good, like super thick almost like polenta. Eggs were not seasoned but happy bc they utensils come with seasoning and can control how much seasoning I want. The cappuccino was *chefs kiss* The environment was warm & friendly. Customer service was top tier from start to finish. Not your average breakfast. Skip everything and come here. Worth every penny. read more

I was visiting a friend in atlanta and after church we were famished! Grits and eggs did not disappoint. We did not have a reservation which is a no no for a sunday in atlanta and they still accomodated us and promptly. We were seated within 20 minutes and ordering soon after that. The service was great. Our waiter was kind and attentive, frequently checking in and making sure we had what we needed. The ambiance inside was friendly and warm with tons of seating, nice music and tvs for viewing pleasure. Now on to the food, this was one of the best breakfasts I've had in a while! Everything was bursting with flavor, cooked to perfection and relatively affordable! I couldn't pick a favorite thing on my plate if I tried because everything was so good. The only reason I did not give it a 5 was due to the fact that it was pretty hot inside but beyond that there is is a MUST try spot in Atlanta. read more

5 stars because 3 black men from NY owns this location and maybe 2 other locations! 5 stars for the Customer Service- upon entry the hostess was lively; the waiter was beyond helpful; the busboy was polite; when departing everyone still had positive energy. Now for the food: 1. It took forever to get two hot Caramel Macchiatos. 2. My western omelette was just okay. 3. The fish and shrimp grits were good- per my family member. 4. The Beignets were decent. Would I suggest any changes- No! It was an overall good experience. I would most likely return when visiting ATL. Sorry no pics! . read more

My Recommendation: Do Not... under ANY circumstances patron this restaurant. The disrespect that my family and I experienced was unreal. We joined the waitlist, which estimated a wait time of 45 minutes. When we arrived, we were advised that there would be an additional 45 minute wait. After checking in with another employee, she said to wait 5 minutes. Whew - The lies! I was silly for waiting, because after 2 and a half hours wait time, I then watched the hostess clean off tables for friends who walked up and waited zero minutes. The manager walked past me, so I asked him if I could speak to him. His response was "one minute", and yep, you guessed it, he never bothered to come back. I'm not sure how this place is still open based on the way they treat customers. The food may be good, but the human element here, will surely be the reason this restaurant is not successful. No, we did not stay and eat, so I can't speak to the food, but after speaking with 3 employees who cared zero about our party... I will never attempt to again. read more

I was at my doctors appointment and wanted to grab something to eat. Saw them on Uber Eats and decided to order for pickup. I had no clue that all of this was built over there, but the restaurant is new and looks nice on the inside. The staff was friendly and they retrieved my food pretty quickly. I ordered the fish and grits. Added jerk sauce to the meal. I was pretty surprised at how good this was! The fish was crispy and hot. The grits were creamy.

The beignets are a MUST. I could order 10 of them and have no shame. Dare I say better than café du monde? It was flaky like a croissant almost and buttery. Their biscuits are moist and with an egg on top, perfection. I had high hopes for the fried chicken wings and although it wasn't bad, it was the best I've had. Their potatoes are seasoned well but it was overdone so wouldn't order them again but this is a solid option for breakfast/brunch/lunch. Would definitely visit again. Not a place to dress fancy too which is nice. You can come pretty casual and feel comfortable. read more
