    Cute

    When I found this place on Yelp I got excited as I travel a lot and I like the local mom and pop places. When I walked in the place looked clean and, like the other downtown Laurel businesses, had a very homie feel. Unfortunately, it is counter order but they do deliver your food to your table. I would suggest they switch to full service as they only have ~11 tables and it would add a nice touch to the experience. That said all the staff, with whom I interacted, were very nice. They did stop by to fill up my coffee so there is that. I hate to do this but the bad part of the experience was the food. My sandwich was cooked perfectly and the fruit was fresh and ripe. However, the sandwich overall was a huge disappointment. It was only a single egg and I think there were two slices of bacon but I'm not sure. The bread overpowered the sandwich and made it fall into the not satisfying realm. I would NEVER order that sandwich again. They did recommend a more complete breakfast with eggs, pancakes and sides but, at the time, I thought that sounded like way too much! I regret not ordering it. If I make it back to Laurel I will give them another shot and probably order the other meal. I do hope they consider shifting to a full service business, after all they are half way there.

    When you walk in the door you order from the counter, find a seat, & they will bring it to your table. Big hot biscuits from the oven , crispy bacon, eggs, & blueberry pancakes. All so good! A must stop when your in town. Enjoy!

    The cutest little restaurant ever!! Located in historic downtown Laurel- it's everything you want in a little southern hole in the wall. By far the best grits I have ever had!! I'm still thinking about them:). Great service and great food!!

    Grits & Some is a smallish breakfast joint with biggish flavor. This is a fast casual place--order at the counter, and staff will deliver it to your table. We were greeted immediately and got our food quickly. Also, a server refilled my coffee twice (which I didn't expect in a fast casual restaurant). My granola with fruit and yogurt was a back-up option to the sausage casserole which looked amazing and tasted that way, too, according to the diner at a neighboring table who apparently snapped up the last piece. But I nibbled on Hubby's side of sweet bacon--divine!--so I didn't suffer. Hubby said the biscuit was the best he's ever had (and he's 60, with a Southern grandmother so he certainly doesn't lack experience). He had sausage gravy with his biscuits--excellent choice--but I'd recommend those biscuits on the side of anything else on the menu. Also a plus: bathroom was big and clean.

    The menu is small but the Magnolia breakfast hits all the right spots! A friendly employee took our order & didn't take long before we were enjoying our breakfasts. Grits are their specialty and they have bragging rights on how good they are!

    Great breakfast spot in Laurel, MS. Very friendly staff, clean facilities and good selection of breakfast options. First time eating grits and found them to be smooth, creamy and very tasty. Extremely pleased with the recommendation and experience. Laurel is a great getaway vacation spot with plenty of history, shopping and eats!

    Magnolia breakfast. Never expected cheesy grits to be done this way. Fabulous bacon. Eggs over easy. Coulda had a biscuit.

    Holy smokes this was good food! I got the Magnolia breakfast to try s little bit of everything. Cheesy grits weren't, but everything else was superb. You gotta get bacon - and they sell the rub for it! Fabulous service, really clean, and quick.

    Great breakfast spot. Order at the counter and in a flash, a fabulous breakfast will be delivered to your table! We both had the Magnolia special at the bottom of the menu..... Super friendly staff and good coffee! Add this restaurant to your breakfast plans...

    Order at the counter.

    5 stars for sure! Excellent food and friendly staff. Recommend the breakfast sandwich on the homemade yummy biscuit! Highly recommend Grits And Some!

    This was such a unexpected gem. It's such a cozy place. Staff and service were excellent. Homemade biscuits and gravy to die for. Grits were so creamy they tasted like my Granny made them. Go, I promise you'll love it. Check out the very cute town of Laurel. You'll love it.

    Creamy grits with bacon.
    Dominick F.

    Creamy buttery tasty grits with plenty of crispy bacon on top. The owner Lisa was very friendly and we'll be making this a regular brunch stop in the future.

    The food was awesome and staff were wonderful. The best grits I have ever had and I am a grit girl!

    Is there any outdoor seating where we could bring a small dog?

    Not when we were there in June. It's just a tiny place that serves the best grits I've ever had. A great place. The biscuits are beyond good. Sorry, it's not doggie approved, but definitely, people aproved.

There was some kind of street fair going on, so we parked in the back and walked in from the back door. It was a little confusing, but we four a very sweet server who showed us where to sit. I think her name was Lincoln and she was very sweet. The outdoor area was a little messy, but no big deal. The food was okay. I had a French burger that was a little flat tasting. My husband had the French dip. Again, it was just okay. Cocktails were pretty good. Based on that alone I probably wouldn't go back, but we were limited on choices due to having our dog with us. Here's where it took a turn. We went to our car and there was a very nasty note telling us, "The next time you park here you will be towed." It directed us to go inside to get someone to move their car which was blocking us in. We didn't see any other parking lot and there weren't any no parking signs. I went inside and found our waitress who gave the note to a woman sitting at the bar with papers spread out in front of her. I assume she was the manager or owner. She didn't say a word and sent the waitress to move her car. All of the sudden our sweet server wasn't so sweet. Come to find out, the parking lot entrance was on the side where the street fair was and we couldn't see it. I think that is a pretty nasty way to treat customers. I don't recommend this place at all.

There was a very large party that had taken over the entire patio during our visit, so I completely understand why the kitchen and service may have been slower than usual. The frustrating part was the seating process. There were several open tables, but customers weren't being seated very quickly. We were a party of two, and the table we eventually sat at was empty for about 20 minutes before we were seated. There may have been a perfectly good reason for the delay, but nothing was explained to us. Once we were seated, the food was worth the wait. I would definitely recommend making a reservation and giving yourself plenty of time, especially if you're visiting during a busy evening. The building itself is also worth mentioning. The inside has a fun, unique atmosphere that's different from your typical restaurant and adds to the overall experience. I'd definitely eat here again because the food was so good. I'd just make a reservation next time and plan on not being in a hurry.

    So close and yet so far…read more.. I guess I am spoiled having owned and operated several successful restaurants ( including a popular steak & prime rib house ), and owning a home in San Francisco where no doubt one can easily find amazing food served in amazing restaurants by classy staff who understand what delivering excellent service means... But, we do love our Laurel.....and I do love The Loft! Food gets 4 stars, atmosphere and "the experience" gets 2 stars... Tried The Loft last night for prime rib... 1. The cute as a button young hostess was chomping on her gum to the point it was annoying! Very sweet young lady, but chomping her gum with her mouth open as she talked, walked, sat you, etc. Issue number one here.... no manager on duty? No adult with a measure of class to advise her to spit out her gum.... and THIS is consistent with the tone of this rant & atmosphere..... her open mouth gum chomping is only a part of the issue at The Loft. 2. Prime rib meal was a great value and the quality of the meat appeared to be excellent. Correctly priced in my view! The portion was excellent. I ordered my cut medium-rare and it was served to me a perfect medium-rare..... but look at the photo I attached! Looks well done, huh? SEE ABOVE- my Prime Rib & Steak House did 5.5M a year in sales, we were experts at roasting high quality prime rib.... STOP DIPPING THE PRIME RIB IN AU JUS AS IT DOES TWO THINGS..... ONE, IT TOUGHENS THE MEAT AND TWO..... IT ELIMINATES THE BEAUTIFUL PINK/JUICY PRESENTATION OF A FRESHLY CUT SLICE OF MEAT. Do not make the same mistake that Hog Heaven makes... by cutting the prime rib in advance then storing it on a steam table.... need to slice prime rib "to order", and NEVER dip it in hot au jus as it toughens the meat and makes rare or medium-rare or medium meat look well done. Mt cut was on the tough side but only because I can tell the cook (sorry, not a chef ) dipped it in au jus to heat it up right before serving... it came out looking well done but it was in fact medium rare as ordered. The hot au jus toughened up the meat though, so you lose a few stars for that bad practice. SEE my other photo of my prime rib from my restaurant, never dipped in au jus, and look how nice and pink and juicy it is compared to what was served last night. At my steakhouse / prime rib restaurant I had a batch of baked potatoes coming out over the oven every 20 minutes during peak hours of operation to guarantee my patrons received a fresh and hot potato. Last night the server explained upon arrival to our table that the cook forgot to put in the potatoes so they may not have any in time for my dinner.... happily, by the time we were served the potatoes came out of the oven so mine was incredibly hot and fresh... and hopefully the owner reads this and adopts the "out of the oven every 20 minutes" practice. Reduces waste too... Salad was fresh and the portion size perfect... no complaints coming out of either end of me regarding the lettuce! :) Ok, now the bad part.... Turn up the air! Same complaint we had last year... the same complaint we heard from two tables near us..... your restaurant is TOO COLD and the icy air blows down on the hot food doing what? You guessed it.... making your food cold! No need to freeze your patrons... cool is ok, icy cold is not fun, not comfortable.... Your flatware, again.... is a joke. Come on... as I asked before... drive down to Hattiesburg and visit Longhorn and take note of their nice silverware and steak knives. SEE the photo? We are not prison inmates, this is not elementary school or a long-term care facility.... please provide your patrons with some decent, not cheap, flatware.... your choice of the cheapest flatware takes down your restaurants classy-level by 2 stars. Train your servers! Laurel is visited by hundreds of thousands of visitors a year to see the Home Town sites... and obviously many visit The Loft. One's impression of Laurel, in part, is formed by ones experience at each restaurant visited...yes we are small town, yes we are deep south... but lets train what class is! Please... Learn the wine menu, where each wine comes from, etc., and learn the stages of service that includes how to properly suggestive sell. Our server was great overall, but she did the usual " did you save any room for desert?" routine. To increase revenue, server quest check averages and tip averages, teach how to suggestive sell! After pre-bussing and then later removing dinner plates.... have them approach the table and say this... "I just tried our bread pudding and it was amazing! We make it fresh daily and the cheese cake too which, by the way, I had last night and it was incredible... can I bring you a slice? You're going to love it..." Is The Loft a nice place? Yes, but "nice" is relative... it's not "fancy nice". Lastly, men... take your hats off!

The lighting is a bit dim for our old eyes but otherwise it has the feel of a pub. We loved that. Our server was very nice and helpful. We ordered the bacon cheddar fries. The fries are like a cottage fries that are then cut into strips. Perfect fry on them. The bacon could have been crispier but great flavor and a good ranch. I had the KPauls pasta. We all enjoyed it. Pasta cooked perfectly al dente. If you love a saucy pasta this isn't for you. It is nice and creamy but not swimming in it. Big plump shrimp that tasted great. Also has chunks of chicken breast and sliced sausage. Uncle Jim got the red beans and rice. Great flavor but barely warm. The catfish is a thicker cut and battered in a coarsely ground corn meal. Aunt Robin had the shrimp and grits. Those were the star of the show. So creamy and incredible flavor. Very generous amount of nice sized shrimp. Mike had the Keg Stand burger. He requested the sauce on the side. It's definitely a unique flavor. Nice soft bun. The meat was grossly over cooked but would have been tasty had it not been so dry. The onion rings that came with the burger were soggy. Overall, enjoyed it. We know what to get next time. Shrimp and grits and KPauls pasta!!
