The food here was DELICIOUS!!! I've been trying to find good fried fish spot in Los Angeles to no avail, I had to go all the way to Vegas to find it...lol Anyhoo we tried to go on a Monday and the wait was too long came back the next day and was able to get in within 30 mins. Small restaurant reminds me of back home. Service was great and the food was bomb.com. I can't wait to go back the next time I'm in Vegas. read more

Yum, yum, and yummier! I've been dying to try this spot after hearing about the legendary wait times, so my colleague and I stopped by for lunch. We were seated in about 15 minutes, which wasn't bad at all! Our server was incredibly sweet and attentive. We both ordered the catfish, grits, and waffles (I added eggs with cheese to mine). The waffle was hands-down the best we've ever had, and the catfish was so flavorful. I leveled up my grits with cheese, bacon, and spinach--chef's kiss! It was my colleague's first real soul food experience, and watching him "tear it up" was the highlight of the meal. I'll definitely be back! read more

So after such an unfortunate experience at First Watch earlier this morning. I decided to drive to Gritz Cafe where the energy, and vibes are always refreshing to me. The Hostesses and Servers are all very friendly, and welcoming. Schanel is my Server today, she was very patient she was not moody or rushy while I observed the revamped version of their new menu. Now I ordered the Three Egg Omelet. Just because it was soooooo gooodt last time I ate it here. The Succulent Shrimp comes either (grilled or fried). I went with grilled, light Cheddar Cheese, Sautéed Mushrooms, Bell Peppers, Spinach, Grilled Onions, and Tomatoes. The First TWO ADD-INS are FREE, however each Addt'l is.$.98cents each. I'd never tried this particular Three Egg Omelet before and I'm glad I did. It had a ton of Succulent Shrimp pieces (big chunks). Everything was PERFECT, I ate All of my food. I normally have leftovers buuuuuut this breakfast was so darn tasty I had to clean my plate lmao. This'll always be a spot I recommend to tourists, visitors passing through, and folks who have lived in Vegas but never experienced Gritz Cafe cuisine. FYI: every desert item is not on this new menu read more

After hearing so much we finally made it out. I called on a weekend to hear that you gotta wait and they cut the line an hour before closing, so we took our chances with a Monday. Paid off. It was literally 8 mins between getting on the list and getting a table for two. There was a party of over 10 waiting. I felt for them, I think they ended up splitting into smaller groups bc otherwise it would've been some time. Even coming on a late Monday morning, it was packed! I love to see it! Ronnie helped check us in and later helped our server Princess, as she seemed swamped towards the end of our meal. Service was great though. We did the Kentucky and Mississippi plates. Sides were grits, greens, Mac and the butter pecan waffle (WORTH the up charge!) music was a bop. Stuff my mom played in the house. They even sang Stevie's version of hbd to a patron. Food. Mom's been looking for a wing that reminded her of my grandma and great grandmas. She said this was it. It was the perfect crisp, cook and flavor. The fish was also tasty. The butter pecan waffle was my favorite side. I've never had pecans in a waffle. It was truly everything. I'm craving one right now! The other sides were just ok. I'd be happy w some catfish and a butter pecan waffle! I guess I'm becoming a water snob. I drink a lot and didn't like theirs. Thankfully they had sparkling. Getting and paying the check took the longest. But I was jamming to the tunes. Princess and Ronnie were fabulous so I told the manager, Olivia. She shared that it was Princess' first day!!! Never would've guessed. It's far but I love supporting minorities in business. I'll definitely go back. I can't get that waffle outta my head. read more

This place is worth the wait! We came around 11am and waited inside for about 45 minutes to be seated. The cafe is a small and in a building that you won't find unless you're looking for it. We ordered the eggs & grits with catfish that was fried perfectly and hot delicious fried chicken with excellent collard greens and grits. I'd definitely return and order the same thing again!!! read more

This restaurant was recommended to me by a sales rep at the mall when I asked for suggestions and I was not disappointed. I loved the way the staff was friendly and worked together as a team. It did not matter if they were your server, they each checked on every table and assisted each other. The restaurant was small but efficient. The waitlist while I was there ranged from 15-40 minutes depending on the size of the party. Now let's get to the food! I wanted to try's a little of everything so the waitress suggested the big gritz breakfast which was fried fish, fried chicken, grits, eggs and of course a waffle! Yes, I added cheese to my eggs and grits. You talking about full, I couldn't finish it but was well pleased. Everything was very flavorful and NOT salty and hot out the kitchen. I definitely recommend this restaurant. read more

Good food, good service, nice atmosphere I've never liked grits before, but this place changed my mind. I got a hotlinks gritz bowl with jalapeño, cheese, bacon, and fried egg. My family enjoyed the grits here too. Their portions are generous. Try the gritz bowl and add whatever you want on top. Extra toppings are only $.98 each... so really not a blocker. They mixed up some of our orders, but quickly fixed them. You won't leave here hungry. Coffee was okay, a bit weak. Very friendly and helpful staff. Really nice artwork adorned the walls. read more

Today was a gentle reminder of how meaningful the simple things can be. I finally had the opportunity to take my neighbor to Gritz Cafe for her very first visit. She had been a bit hesitant at first--having recently relocated from Chicago--and with life and schedules moving so quickly, it took us four months to make it happen. I truly appreciate her patience. As expected, the food was absolutely delicious, but what made the experience even more special was the warmth we received. The customer service was excellent, and Ms. Trina ( Owner) personally came out to greet her and welcome her to Las Vegas. It was such a heartfelt moment--one that reminded me how a simple outing can turn into something truly meaningful. I'm grateful I could share that experience with her and help make Vegas feel just a little more like home. read more

Gritz Cafe - Welcome to Las-Vegas! Las-Vegas Realtor LiSheyJohnson - Soul Food Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Of all the stops on our food crawl, Gritz Cafe was hands-down the most satisfying! Comfort food at its finest. I completely cleaned my plate--wings, gritz, greens, and mac 'n' cheese. We arrived a little after 12pm, so it was busy with a few people ahead of us and lots of pickup orders going out, but the wait was only about 10 minutes and absolutely worth it. We were so full after eating that we ordered a slice of sweet potato pie and peach cobbler to go. Our server even surprised me with a slice of cake when she found out it was my birthday--so sweet! Service was great all around. Gritz Cafe is definitely a must-stop for us every time we're in Vegas. read more

11/7/25 I actually saw this restaurant on Somebody Feed Phil. Shrimp Omelet with Potato and Toast was good Fried Porkchop with Grits, Collard Greens and Cornbread were so good!

My daughter has been talking about this place for a while now, and I finally wanted to check it out. We did, and the customer service was outstanding. Everyone, and I mean everyone, was so welcoming and sweet from the moment you walk in to when you leave. As for the food, because that's what this is about, right, it was a 10/10 for me. I ate everything but the plate; I might have eaten that too, but my son was watching . Anyway, check it out and make your own decision. read more

Out for brunch at a friend's recommendation, we found ourselves at The Grits Café--and I have one question: How did I ever miss this place? I believe they've been around since 2006 (though don't quote me on that!), and even though the café itself is small, it's packed with mighty flavor. From the moment we walked in, it had that welcoming, homey feel that makes you instantly comfortable. Our waitress was fantastic--warm, quick, and perfectly in sync with our lively, chatty group. The atmosphere was upbeat, the service excellent, and the food? Absolutely delicious. Every bite was well-seasoned and full of flavor. A few tips for first-timers: * They're closed on Sundays, so plan accordingly. * Expect a crowd on Fridays and Saturdays--it's clearly a local favorite. * There's indoor and outdoor seating, both cozy and comfortable. The Grits Café is exactly the kind of spot that makes you smile from the first sip of coffee to the last bite of brunch--a true hidden gem worth the wait. read more

OMG I have been hearing about this place and finally made it. the food is bomb.com and the service is awesome. These ladies and gentlemen are really working and taking pride in it. What a great crew. My husband had catfish's poor boy with french fries. The fries are kind of thick and seemed undercooked. My husband love fries and it was the first time he said he didn't like them. He finished his poor boy but he didn't love the food like I did. I had a sweet potato waffle with shrimp and grits. It was so delicious. I knew I wouldn't be able to finish both things so I wrapped them to go. As I'm sitting in my hotel waiting for a microwave. I opened up my leftovers and they're just as good cold. I never had cold grits before but babeeeeee. It is still bomb. The sweet potato waffle don't even need syrup. Those chunks of sweet potatoes in there. Why! Why y'all doing me like this? I feel like a fat rat. The environment was homely and friendly. I will definitely be coming again when I visit. Oh I forgot the strawberry Fanta. What! who does that? It was cold and crispy too. I love this place. The wait was only 20 minutes on a Friday morning. A happy camper. read more

I was in town for the Chris Brown concert and like many others I came to Gritz Café after seeing so many great reviews. I fully understand that a popular restaurant will come with a long wait. That was not the issue. The real problem was the lack of communication. I arrived around 1:45 pm and was told there would be about a two hour wait for a table. The hostess suggested I try takeout, which sounded like a good option since there were outdoor seats available. However, when I went to place my takeout order I was told they were no longer accepting any more orders. At that point there was no way to eat at all. I had already spent more than twenty dollars on an Uber to get there only to find out I could not be seated or order anything. I then had to spend even more money on rides to another restaurant and back to my hotel. That part was especially frustrating because a simple sign outside or clearer communication from the hostess could have saved me the trip and the cost. I was excited to try this place but I never even got the chance. Maybe the food is as good as the reviews say, but my experience was more about poor communication than the wait time. Hopefully this is something they can improve on so other guests do not walk away just as disappointed. read more

Somebody Feed Phil led us to this establishment and thank you Phil. We arrived post lunch rush and we were promptly seated by the wonderful Cheyenne. The Gritz had a big menu of delicious options but you really have to choose from the abundance of deliciousness. We all went with combo plates. Some with yam waffles and chicken and a Holy Trinity with cat fish fillets. We also all had "muddy waters" to drink - their version of a Arnie Palmer. Everything arrived hot and delicious - from the Mac n Cheese to waffles and the chicken and fish. Not much talking happened at our table but guttural moans of satisfaction broke the silence. Some sharing occurred but no one left the table hungry. It was an unbutton your top button of your pants situation. All told the food, the service and happy and welcoming environment made our visit to The Gritz Cafe and new must return spot. read more

The visit was great. I FINALLY got experience the cafe without having to wait. The waitresses greeted as soon as I walked in. There were quite a few customers for 730 AM. I wa seated right away. Only a few tables remained. As soon as I seated I was asked my beverage of choice. Water no ice and some coffee with creamer. Those arrived quickly. I had my eye on an omlett. Ordering the hotlink omlett with spinach, cheese and bell peppers... The omlett came woth potatoes and a toasted croissant. Yum! Rje environment was chill, not loud. The food was good. Worth the visit. I had the opportunity to taste the sweet potato waffle . When I tell you, that sucker is everything, it is EVERYTHING.! You do not beed syrup or anything. I enjoyed my visit. I hope when you go, your visit is great too. Oh! To Gritz, thats for supporting me with the gloves. If you worked the morning of 6 September 25, you know what I am talking about. Those staff down to the cooks were great. Happy Yelping!!! read more

2nd time here and it still amazing! Today we had the catfish and grits and the 3 wings and grits with a side of over medium eggs. We got Arnold Palmers for drinks it was all 10:10. We had to wait a little bit before being seated, which was fine, it was crowded. When sat we were greeted warmly by our server and she gave good recommendations. The place is bright, clean and has a jovial feel to it. We loved the wings a lot 10/10! But, the catfish: 100/10, they seasoned them perfectly and fried them nice and hard. Ohhhh the Gritz were good too... It called the Gritz Cafe for a reason. The owner came by and greeted each table and was so friendly and even laughed when our friend and my husband were being silly with her. So great. Glad to stop here each visit to Vegas. read more

Sweet potato waffle of my dreams! I'm still thinking about that waffle. Truly unlike anything I've had before. Crisp edges, a fluffy interior, and luscious chunks of creamy sweet potato scattered throughout. Each bite was heavenly. I paired it with a juicy fried chicken breast, and the combination was beyond fantastic. Sweet and savory magic! On our first visit, the place was so packed we couldn't get a table before closing. But we came back earlier another day and were thrilled to be seated. Expect a wait, this spot is wildly popular and for good reason. It's true soul food with warm Southern hospitality. I'm a little embarrassed to admit I only discovered it after watching Someone Feed Phil. But hey, better late than never. read more

Small establishment but MIGHTY in service and food. I stumbled upon this Gem via TikTok. Went there on 3/19/26 during my vist from Queens NY and there was a 45min-1hr wait for a table indoors, however the waitress suggested to order to-go plates and utilize one of the four tables outside, Which we did. I ordered the catfish/chicken and grits combo with a sweet tea. This came with toast, a waffle and eggs of your choice. This was possibly the BEST catfish I've had seasoned and fried to perfection not greasy nor fishy just delightful. The waffle was fluffy and paired well with both the fried chicken and catfish. The grits were both cheesy and satisfying. I would rate everything a 10/10. We even wanted to revisit Sun before our return back to NY but was disappointed to learn they are closed on Sunday. I cannot wait to return again. read more

Everything was absolutely delicious. The catfish was perfectly seasoned, crispy on the outside, and cooked just right inside. The sweet potato waffles were a standout--light, flavorful, and the perfect balance of sweet without being overpowering. And the jalapeño grits? Creamy with just the right kick of heat to keep things interesting. Portions were more than generous--I definitely left full and happy . This is comfort food done right, and you can taste the care in every bite. If you're looking for soul food with bold flavor and great execution, Gritz Cafe is a must-stop. read more

We saw this place on Somebody Feed Phil and tried coming a few weeks ago but they were so busy towards the end of the day they could only offer takeout orders so we tried again and only waited about five minutes to be sat on a Saturday. The food was great. The sweet potato waffle was the winner. Mac & cheese was great, very thick and cheesy. The fried pork chops were flavorful but I was surprised at how thin they were. Corn bread was my least favorite because it was a little on the dry side. When we come back we're going to try some other items but our first visit was really great. Service was very friendly as well. read more

What an amazing place, but I had to go 3 stars b cuz not one of my 4 orders had cheese on the grits or eggs & I pd for it. Shoot, my order was over $80! The last time I came was over six years ago & it's hard to beat perfection but the expansion is great & the lady working the counter with the hair bun....TOO SWEET! Food remains good just wanted what I paid for....ambiance...their music, soooo soulful. I almost lost my mind hearing Earth Wi d & Fire...I'm from Cali. & all I can say is Roscoe's is still #1 but Gritz is on POINT they just need to get the orders right & I gave a 20%tip (supporting BOB - Blk Owned Bus.)....Lol, won't b doing that again on AN-TEE 2 Go orders from now on! read more

I got the Holy Trinity for pick up. The goal was to eat it at home but I wanted to taste it straight out of the oven. I took a few bites in the car and ended up eating the majority of it. 1. Chicken wings were crispy, seasoned well and delicious 10/10 2. Mac and cheese was flavorful and balanced to perfection. 10/10 3. The yams were tender and not overly sweet 8/10 4. Collard greens had great flavor but not as spicy as I'm used to 8/10 5. Cornbread Muffin was dry and bland 4/10 Service was polite and fast Atmosphere was cozy but the space seemed small. Great for small groups. I will be back before leaving Vegas. read more

I am not even a big sweet potato person but that sweet potato waffle is to die for! Real sweet potatoes throughout. And I loved the butter pecan waffle! Not too sweet and balanced perfectly with my Gritz which were cooked perfectly with salt and butter! Yes I like my grit just like that! The fish is absolutely amazing!
