My friends and I just got to town and decided on the Grit Counter since it was highly rated on Trip Advisor. This is brought to you by the Owners of Grace and Grit which is connected in the same building.

Grits are not something we usually eat, so I didn’t know what to expect. But this was grits elevated to true foodie level. Everything about the Grit Counter is first rate. The presentation was beautiful and the flavors were fantastic. I got the Brunch Bowl which was delicious with thick pork belly bacon chunks and a deliciously warm base of jalapeño cheddar grits. My daughter got the Ranchero bowl which I absolutely loved, so we switched. It had a wonderful chorizo flavor with a little fresh green salsa that balanced the flavor. My son got a Charleston hot chicken sandwich that was juicy and just the right amount of kick. Even the coffee was delicious, if you like strong brewed coffee, which I do. It was a delicious meal that filled us up all day. Highly recommended.

This was my first time at the grit counter, but it was phenomenal. Just walking in you immediately can tell the kitchen set up is VERY clean and professional, and the chefs are well trained. The environment is welcoming but relaxed. I wanted to try EVERY dish I watched them put out. The portions are big, my bf and I probably could have just split one bowl of the shrimp and grits. I truly appreciate the idea behind this, so innovative. 0 complaints and can’t wait to go back

The food is delicious here! My son go the fried chicken and waffle and the chicken was cooked perfectly. Best fried chicken ever! I had the shrimp and grits which were excellent. My husband had the fried chicken sandwich, also delicious, with a little spice. The fried pickles were excellent too. Such a great find!

So today was “the Grit Counter” a beautiful spot for low country foods and fast service. The shrimp and grits came in a bowl and was definitely a filling meal. The peach tea [sweetened] so good, self serving counter on the lemonade and teas. I noticed others ordering lunch and all the plates looked so good.
