This restaurant has become a staple for myself and/or my family after church. I usually order the catfish and grits, which is ALWAYS good! I have never had an issue with any of the servers, bartenders nor long wait times. I usually make it there before the after 1pm church let out. I have been going to this restaurant for about 2 years and will continue going. read more

Man...they must be having a rough day. We walk in, we wait, maybe 3 tables are seated, after 5 minutes of no one greeting us at the host stand. We signal to a waiter who motions that we can seat ourselves. We sit, we wait 10 minutes. We ask the same waiter who motioned at us to sit if he could take our order. He said "one sec...let me see where your waiter is". Waiter finally comes. She is charming. Takes our order. Ok maybe we are back on track, let's give this place a chance. Yall we ordered eggs. 30 minutes go by...no food. A couple tables who arrive after us are getting their food. We ask the waitress. "We had to boil the water for your eggs." 20 more minutes go by. Food comes. Poached egg has zero runny. The 'Eggs over medium' were overcooked and left off my friends plate upon waitress insistence... they come 5 minutes after he received his pancakes, potatoes; and sausage. Everything overcooked. The owner did come out and apologize, and the waitress did everything possible to make it right. So 2* instead of 1... but man, rough day for this restaurant--enough to ensure it was our first and last visit. read more

I woke up with an insatiable urge for pancakes and this place had nice reviews. We get there and the wait isn't long. We sit and the first order was for the French toast combo with scrambled eggs and bacon. I order pancakes, egg whites and bacon on the side. The waiter informs me that they're out of egg whites. I'm confused because I just heard an order for eggs and if you have real eggs then you should have egg whites. So I ordered the salmon, potatoes, candied yams and I still needed those pancakes. The salmon, requested medium, was overcooked and candied yams were a bit bland and watery. The potatoes were seasoned well. However the star of the show was definitely the pancakes. They were light, fluffy and very flavorful. The vanilla really came shining through. The French toast was equally as good. The only downside was the menu said capote so I was expecting strawberry capote, instead of a sprinkle of strawberries. And for an additional $2.00, this was disappointing to say the least. The pancakes alone are worth a return trip, I just won't get my hopes up for anything else. read more

Grits and Eggs Breakfast Kitchen - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

This was me and my husband's first time dining at Grits and Eggs Breakfast Kitchen. We were greeted by the staff members at the front desk, bar and the waitress. Everyone was nice. I forgot our waitress name, but she has locs and very pleasant and attentive. We started out with drinks and then we placed our order. I ordered the fried fish and grits. My husband ordered french toast, fried hard eggs, house potatoes, and bacon. Our food was so delicious. I didn't taste any of my husband's breakfast, but mine was delicious. I didn't eat all of my food, so I had leftovers. We will definitely be back, if we're in the area. :-) read more

Absolutely terrible experience. Food came out cold, had to cut my over medium eggs with a knife because they were crusty on the bottom, french toast was cold, ham that didn't look like ham. Party of 3. Every meal was cold. Restroom had no paper towels or toilet tissue. Place was haphazard and a mess on a Saturday morning about 11am Find a different place to eat. Get new management. read more

We were seated by the nonchalant hostess with big hair with no menus. After 10 minutes - no one . Some one came in AFTER us, got a menu and a drink! On our way out we explained why we were leaving and all we got was "sorry for the inconvenience." No thanks.. better places with better service. read more

The experience was great as we were out of town. Decided to do brunch and everyone enjoyed their meals. Everything came fresh cooked to order. I enjoyed my mocktail and I love the option of free accessible parking as I've heard. It is bad in Atlanta. Customer service was very friendly and attentive, and I was also able to use my inKind discount which made this a bonus. read more

A group of us came for brunch and was not disappointed. The restaurant was clean and so were the bathrooms. I ordered the veggie omelette and it was flavorful.

Wife and I went for breakfast after appointments in mid-town on a Monday morning. Atmosphere was very nice and surprising as the outside is clean but does not show the nice inside awaiting. Piano, bar, plenty of tables and comfortable seating. Staff greats and takes you to your table. Menu has lots of inviting options for breakfast, brunch or lunch. We got the two eggs, meat, biscuit, grits, beignets, coffee w2ith Baileys and a mimosa. Food was slamming and plentiful! We both went home with breakfast for the next day which was still great. Don't sleep on this restaurant. I would for sure try them out. We'll be back for sure. The owner stopped by checking on guest as well. read more

Yesss just yesss!! Every single item was seasoned perfectly, cooked well and presented lovely. Even though I ordered delivery, all of my food was cooked and packaged ideally and the food arrived hot. I ordered the French Toast - Bananas Foster style with Home Fries (included onions and peppers) and Eggs fried hard. I opted for no breakfast meat. French Toast - Bananas Foster style came with two brioche bread slices, one slice of strawberry and two blueberries as well as a side of fosters sauce and two syrups. The bread slices were big and thick and with the fosters sauce amazing. I did not even need to use syrup. - Grade A+ Home Fries - although I got very little onions and peppers, they were seasoned and cooked exquisitely. I did not need to add any seasoning, and that is rare for me with potatoes. Bonus note: they supplied every condiment one may need (ketchup, salt, pepper, hot sauce, butter and syrup). Grade - A+ Eggs - fried hard, came with two eggs. They were cooked to perfection and lacked nothing. - Grade A+ I highly look forward to eating from here again, and am glad to know they have multiple locations. Keep up the delicious work Grits and Eggs! read more

I ordered Grits and Eggs for pickup and maybe that's where I went wrong. It was just okay, nothing special. They put all the ingredients in their omelette on top rather than inside - I'm not the biggest fan of that method. Everything just tasted okay. Overall I wasn't that impressed read more

Grits and Eggs Breakfast Kitchen - Roasted Veggie Omelette with a biscuit - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

It was my and sisters first time and were not impressed, we each ordered the chicken & waffles, and I ordered the biscuits & sausage gravy. The chicken wings were tiny the waffles were undercooked and the biscuits & gravy was one step above being served cold. The good service could not make up for the lukewarm more seasoning needed food. Having previously lived in Atlanta it's surprising how bad the food was, the bill came to $80 for two people, I felt ripped off, will never be patronizing this place again, could have had the same food serve hot and for a whole lot less and better tasting at Waffle House. read more

Looking for a breakfast place while visiting. This place had good Yelp reviews so I came here. Got the Grits & Eggs & did not like the soft eggs with egg-white showing. That's on me as I should have specified hard scrambled eggs. The grits were creamy & very hominy. Delicious. The best thing were the soft, fluffy biscuits. I'm old enough that my Grandmother made every baked item from scratch. The biscuits here brought back some of my best memories of my 'Big Mama's', cooking. The bacon was ok & I had the best unsweetened tea this side of the Tennessee River ;-) Ambiance here is very modern-day Atlanta. They have a full bar with tables & chairs in the middle & booths liking the walls & and late 70s/early 80s R&B playing on surround speakers. My waitress (Erica) was very attentive. This place is worth a visit just for the biscuits. 5-stars read more

4.8/5 Came here for a nice weekend brunch. We were seated immediately upon arrival which I liked. Keep in mind the seating is very close but they do accommodate large parties. I got the blackened salmon and grits, which was really good. I also liked the way the salmon was good. My gf got the chicken wings with two sides, being fries and Mac & cheese. The mimosas were nice and strong in alcohol, but the cranberry ginger wasn't strong in flavor. She has a shellfish allergy so they did let us know they have two separate fryers. Our waitress was really nice and attentive. read more

I went to a Saturday at 11am. The French toast was dry, the sausage patties smelled and tasted SPOILED, the grits were undercooked (returned because they added cheese I didn't ask for) and they kept putting cheese on the eggs after I asked 3 times for no cheese. The coffee was burnt/bitter and I had to ask for sugar, creamer, pepper shakers and a knife. No refills were offered. I won't be returning. read more

The service was good. The presentation was nice. The food was tasty. The downtown location is nice, seating is very tight. The restaurant was not busy , moderate traffic but they sat everyone right on top of each other. No elbow room. It was clean and well maintained. The food was enjoyable. read more

Grits & Eggs has quickly become one of my favorite spots! The food is consistently amazing--those grits? Chef's kiss. Creamy, flavorful, and downright comforting. Every dish I've tried has been delicious--literally haven't had a single bad bite. What really sets this place apart though is the people. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and the owner treats you like family. You can tell they truly care about the experience, and it shows in every plate they serve. If you're looking for good food and even better vibes, this is the place. read more

What an amazing, tranquil, vibe. I ordered the Shrimp and Grits! This was the Best breakfast I have ever devoured! My server, Denise was perfect in every way. She had a smile the size of California. Her customer service skills were impeccable... I have traveled the world, dined at 5 star and Michelin restaurants, Grits and Eggs measures along side Michelin ratings. read more

I was on the fence of giving this place 4 or 5 stars. I decided to give 5 stars because the service and taste are wonderful. This location is at the back of a strip mall. You cannot see this place from the main street. There is plenty of parking. The venue is on the bottom floor. It is bright, clean, and smells good in here. Bartender was extremely nice. She made a couple of food recommendations and talked with me as I waited for my food. I ordered the fried red snapper with creamy grits and I added blackened shrimp. Adding 6 pieces of shrimp cost $12. The fried red snapper was fried to perfection. I really liked the grits and the creole sauce on the grits. This place serves good food and is a nice spot. I will come back. read more

The food was decent but just okay. We got here on a Saturday for brunch. I order fish and grits w/French toast and strawberries. While I was charged extra for the strawberries, I only got a slice of one, w/ 2-blueberries. My Son enjoyed the fries but his sandwich was a bit hard for him. The beignets were tasteful and bottle water was extra versus tap. A bit unimpressed especially b/c service lacked too! read more

My friend and I were in ATL for 24 hours to see Beyoncé, we had just flown in and were starving! We heard great things about Grits and Eggs so we thought we'd give it a try. We got in right before the brunch rush and were seated right away. Chrissy was our server and she was amazing. Very kind and warm! I am an indecisive person and age helped me decided on what to order and she did not steer me wrong! The fried catfish and grits were amazing!!! The best we've had, we also added a side of cheese eggs, Mac and cheese, and finished with the beignets. If we are ever back in the area we will definitely visit again. read more

The food is ok but the service is not. I ordered online from here to pick up myself. I got a text 20 minutes after I ordered saying the food was ready. I showed up and waited 40 minutes in the restaurant for my food while every 5-10 minutes someone told me it was being "packed up right now". When it finally came out, over an hour after I ordered it and 40 minutes after they texted to say it was ready, it came out without the drink I ordered. Save yourself the headache read more

AMAZING FOOD. AMAZING SERVICE. Jana (or Janna, or Johnna, unsure how to spell her name, definitely should've asked), is AN AMAZING bartender/server. She read my mind, treated everyone so well, and was so so so good. If only I lived here permanently, I'd have a seat at the bar every Saturday morning. The food alone is amazing, but the people/staff are excellent. Overall, wow. 100000/10. read more

One word: fantastic!!! Grits and Eggs has been on my radar since they opened. When my friend wanted to meet here for lunch, I enthusiastically said yes! When you walk in, you feel like you're at home. From the country, diner-like atmosphere, to the old school music soundtrack playing in the background, I knew the food was about to be bussin' lol. Our server was the absolute sweetest and very attentive. I ordered the fried catfish plate with a side of grits and collard greens. Everything was amazing! The catfish and grits were both seasoned perfectly! I really wish I had a second piece. The collards were also very good! I normally do not like restaurant collards, but these were quite delicious. I'm excited to return in the near future. read more

Grits and Eggs Breakfast Kitchen - Fried Catfish and Two Sides - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I've been a fan of Grits & Eggs Breakfast Kitchen ever since I visited their Smyrna location in person. The food was amazing, so I was thrilled to see they've opened a new spot in the Summer Hill neighborhood, much closer to home. I ordered the Two Pancakes, Grits, Eggs, and Bacon Breakfast through DoorDash, and it did not disappoint! The portion size was generous, especially for the price, and everything was cooked to perfection. The pancakes were fluffy, the bacon was crispy, and the eggs were just right. But the star of the meal for me was the grits--seasoned so perfectly that they didn't need a single extra thing. It's rare to find grits this good! I'm so happy to have this new location nearby and will definitely be ordering again soon. Highly recommend! read more

It has been a long time since I walked into a restaurant that felt like home. The family atmosphere reminded me of establishments from the past when customer service meant more than just a quick smile and a seat. From start to finish, my experience here was exceptional. Let me tell you, I have been to New Orleans, and the beignets here could outshine those! They were fresh, soft, and fluffy, with just the right amount of sweetness. Do yourself a favor and order some. We also tried an omelet, French toast, and eggs. The portion sizes were generous, and everything tasted wonderful. I can't wait to return and explore the brunch menu. Please continue to maintain the excellent customer service and warm, family atmosphere. In a city where new restaurants seem to appear every week, it's refreshing to know that places like this still exist! read more

I had to go looking for this place. My work office recently moved and put me nearby and I was looking for a lunch spot with more traditional southern food. But I wanted lunch not breakfast so I skipped over it a couple times. Then when I tried to find it I looked upstairs along Sidney and couldn't find it and ate somewhere else. So to get here you have to pull downstairs into the shopping center where the Marshall's and home goods are. I got the chicken wings which came with three complete wings, two sides, and corn bread for $20.21. Add some sweat tea and a tip and we will be looking at a $25 lunch. With tip mine was $28.50. I got grits because it's in the name and black eyed peas. Everything was good and well seasoned. I know this sounds weird, but the grits tasted fishy. I mean they tasted like the grits from shrimp and grits not the grits you have with eggs. They paired well with the wings but there was a fishy aftertaste that surprised me. The wings were cooked well but there were some feathers still sticking to ends. They could have been cleaned better. They were also pretty small wings. But they gave me 4 instead of 3 so I guess they realized they were small. The cornbread tasted like jiffy and the peas were from a can and had a bit of a hot viniger seasoning. I think they would have pared well with the greens. Not the greatest. But certainly good. Oh and they didn't give me any butter for the cornbread. I didn't ask for any but it was not offered. So why not 5 stars? Well price was one issue. I realize I am near Buckhead but $28.50 for three chicken wings just seems pricey to me. And that was one of the cheaper options on the menu. The omelets were a little better value but if you want the seafood be prepared for $40 a plate. That being said the service was first rate. The restaurant is new and clean and the atmosphere great. Busy but not crowded. A nice diverse Atlanta crowd with blue and white collar workers on lunch and families. I don't know if I found a go-to spot or not yet but it is certainly good enough for a return trip. read more

Higher end diner vibes, and I'm not mad at it. Situated in a two floor strip mall, the location is easy to find and has plenty of parking. The restaurant is large as well. The diner feeling comes from rows of tables and lots of chrome. I longed for a booth, but since the food was served quickly, the cafeteria set-up was fine. If it had been busier, I imagine it would have been loud as there was nothing anywhere to absorb sound. The menu seemed to have two focus areas, benedicts and grits. They also had traditional breakfast food like pancakes and the southern staple: chicken and waffles. I enjoyed jerk shrimp and grits that I ordered. The grits were creamy and flavorful, and the shrip was well-cooked and saucy. It was definitely a flavorful dish. There are other styles of shrimp and fish available for the dish as well. My companions enjoyed their respective chicken and waffles, and pancakes and eggs, but nothing to write home about. Service was excellent. Friendly and swift. The staff works as a team here, and we were helped by a few different people without any issues. read more

Would not recommend. Check their health code violations first (Grade 74 in Jan 2026). I received food paining as a result of eating from this location on 4/18/2026. I vomited at the table and several times in the bathroom before leaving (I thought I had eaten too much bc to make it worse the food was good), continue to vomit along the uber ride to my hotel, several hours in my hotel in pain, in the uber vomiting bile and in excruciating pain on the way to the emergency room. Several losses as a result of eating here. To this day no one has contacted me although I have called and left messages. The drinking water tastes bad too...overall it presented well but to be gravely sickened by the food is something totally different- they will be closed before the year is out. read more

I Went to Sunrise cafe, and I was met with a very nice person at the front of house. We were able to order and sit quickly, but to our surprise as soon as we sat down our food would follow but it came very cold, hard and un appetizing. The drinks were not sweetened at all. The other location closer downtown was a lot better, and that was disappointing. read more
