My husband and I decided to have our pre-wedding rehearsal dinner at GRIT, and we are thrilled with our choice. Our experience with them was exceptional from beginning to end. It all started with a personalized consultation where we discussed the number of guests and selected our menu, which included food and drinks. The team at GRIT put together a truly mouthwatering menu for our family to enjoy. Angie, the owner, was very helpful and responsive to my inquiries leading up to the rehearsal dinner, and she made us feel like she was excited to be a part of our wedding weekend. We chose to have our rehearsal dinner in GRIT's outdoor area, which was beautifully set up with tablecloths, candles,...
Food was not my favorite. I ordered the chicken and waffles, and the chicken was so over cooked that I couldn't bite it. Worst chicken and waffles that I've had. Our server was great, but didn't fully understand the menu. My mother wanted a sauce left off and server said that it couldn't happen. Once we received the dish, the sauce had just been put on top, so, it could have been left off. We had 4 dishes, and 2 of them were terrific. Grit did take off the unsatisfactory meals from our bill, but, still, it was disappointing.
Interesting place, 15-20 min south of Oxford, kind of in the middle of nowhere. Additional parking behind the restaurant. Nice little green space across the street. We have eaten here a couple of times for brunch. Food is good and service is very good. Have had the eggs benedict, huevos rancheros, their breakfast sandwich and a couple of coffee drinks. All good, but nothing really stands out. It is very loud inside, suggest sitting outside if weather permits.
While in Oxford, we were recommended to try out Grit and we are so glad we did! The food was exceptional - we tried the shrimp and peas, catfish, and burger, all of which were delicious. Our servers, Anne, Kendall, and Max, provided excellent service that went above and beyond. We are looking forward to returning to Grit again soon!

It is frustrating when you go to a small restaurant with a gourmet menu and they are out of everything. The food was poorly prepared and some dishes we had to send back they were so awful. They need to try a menu they can prepare consistently that are delicious. Would never go back but the service was excellent.
we love coming to write for Sunday brunch. the food and cocktails are always incredible and the service is unmatched. they go out of the way to let our little child feel welcome and accommodated. no matter how busy they are, the service and eating are always fabulous. we love grit!
Without a doubt, this is the best dining experience you can have in the Oxford area. The food is amazing, the staff is fantastic, and the atmosphere is unbeatable. A visit here is a must!
So accommodating. I’m gluten free dairy free plant based. They worked with me to create a dish that met all my needs. And the cauliflower appetizer is to die for. Lemoncello was the best.
