Interesting restaurant with a hard to pin down style. The food tries to stay “southern”, but with an upscale atmosphere. I enjoyed the meatloaf sandwich. My wife was not too pleased with her Vidalia salad.

Enjoying a meal with family while visiting from out of town. I had the blackened salmon and it was so good. Everyone enjoyed there meal. I wish I would have saved room for the lava cake.

Had lunch at Grits Café in Forsyth and was thoroughly impressed by both the exquisite cuisine and the impeccable service. The menu showcased a variety of innovative dishes. Since it was my 1st time, I decided to try a staple, shrimp & grits, and it was perfectly prepared and very delicious. Then I had the Nutella bread pudding, and it took my taste buds to heaven. It’s hard to describe, so you’ll just have to try it for yourself. The attentive and knowledgeable staff ensured my satisfaction. The hostess was extremely friendly and cheerful & my waitress, Jennifer, was delightful. The restaurant seemed quaint but turned out to have a lot of seating. The atmosphere is very comforting and well organized. I can’t recommend Grits Café enough for a fantastic dining experience.

Do you want to have a perfect dining experience? If so,eat here! The ambiance was wonderful. The food delicious, and staff terrific. Something not thought of often is the transition time between courses. Grits Cafe did an excellent job here. We never felt rushed and had plenty of time to enjoy each course from app to dessert. I highly recommend the double smoked pork chop with Mac and cheese and fried green tomatoes. Also please order the crème brûlée.

I’ve been wanting to try this restaurant out and finally did yesterday. The interior decor is beautiful and clean and there were no funky smells that sometimes are in restaurants. The service was excellent. My husband ordered the chef special soup and sandwich. Soup was a corn chowder and very delicious. I ordered the burger, and it was also delicious. We didn’t have any grits at Grits, but maybe next time! Will definitely be back!

Best cuisine in a town I’ve ever had. It was so good I went two days in a row! This is a well run business and customer oriented staff. Nice ambiance and decor that would make any night a good night out.

I was in town visiting my parents and we visited on Friday, July 21. This is my second time visiting in the past 4 months (both visits were 5 stars). We started with the grit fritters-always a good choice! I had the daily special, scallops and mashed potatoes with roasted carrots. It was excellent food, and the service was great. Very good experience for my family of 4.

My family and I stopped in today to try this restraunt. We ordered the grits fritters as an appetizer and they were delicious! My wife ordered the BLFGT bacon, lettuce, fried green tomatoe sandwich and my daughter and I shared the Rocking Chair Grass Fed hamburger. They were both so good. The portions were huge, the decor was great, and the staff was polite and fast. We will absolutely be back to try more foods.

Very underrated bar. Had a grits martini, tomato bisque soup, pomegranate monitor, malibu sunset, duck confet, filet and creme Brule. Everything was amazing. The drinks were delicious, the duck so tender and the filet was perfect. To top it off dessert was heaven. 10/10 would recommend!
