Lance HaysJanuary 2, 2014Great place to eat and like everyone else says "try the golden bowel!!!" I eat meat but when I go to the grit I always want the golden bowl w/ veggies and cheese.
Ashley StearnsAugust 7, 2013Probably the best falafel I've ever had! Had the veggie plate with falafel, sweet potato fries and the chickpea feta salad which was a special and it was all amazing. Will definitely good back!- Best vegetarian restaurant in town. Try the biscuits with yeast gravy and the breakfast burrito with tofu for brunch or the golden bowl for lunch or dinner... delicious.
Charles BrooksJune 22, 2019The food, atmosphere, and staff are, and always will be, stellar. Eat here. God bless Athens.
Chelsey GJanuary 6, 2020Definitely more of hippie vegetarian restaurant from the 90s vibe here which I sincerely miss in NYC. No artisanal bs- just good food!- Claire FlinnJuly 1, 2015Complete vegetarian menu, most all of which can be made vegan. Great food for adventuress or picky eaters. (Their tofu is amazing)
Tabitha JohnsonMarch 30, 2018Everything is good, but the Golden Bowl and the black bean chilli are my favorites. And all the cakes...
Ashley EubanksJanuary 5, 2013If you come for brunch, get the special omelette! Different by the day, great veggies :) the burgers are excellent also, highly recommend :)
René SmithAugust 26, 2011The Grit's Breakfast Burrito is the perfect hangover cure, and it's huge! Add a side of their biscuits and gravy to share with a friend.
James LeesonAugust 21, 2012If you catch them on a day when they have the cornbread stuffing on the special board you're in for a treat!- ed petersonApril 19, 2020Go to comfort food in Athens. Golden bowl with veggies and cheese will cure the common cold. Amazing deserts too.
Ben WardMarch 26, 2018Don’t miss the specials board, which might offer you eggs even after brunch ends at 11!
Shannon and Jacob are two of the nicest severs. Yeast gravy is delicious. Coffee is best in town. Love it!!
Katherine GarciaOctober 18, 2010If you're skeptical about fake meat (which is delicious), try the grilled cheese smelt. Who would have thought grilled cheese, spinach, and honey mustard would taste so good!
Ethan EagleMay 22, 2015The bahn mi sandwich we ordered was delicious, but was missing fresh cilantro and jalapeños?!
emiliano calosSeptember 25, 2017They have plenty of vegetarian and vegan options, so everything has been delicious.
Madhu VulimiriJune 21, 2016Golden bowl with cheese and veggies is the best. Order large if you want leftovers.- Tammie RampleyNovember 23, 2014Awesome Hummus. .. Fantastic Vegan food and desserts. .. Always good..
Best vegetarian / vegan restaurant in Athens GA. Famous for the golden bowl, but check the daily specials board. The split pea dal is delish!
Tessa BakerOctober 20, 2009Order the Golden Bowl! Rice + veggies + best tofu in town + cheese = heaven. And get the big 'un, cuz you're gonna want to take some home for later. Read more
Caitlin GallagherSeptember 5, 2010Some of the BEST vegetarian food around can be found right here, but even if you're an omnivore -no worries - this is a favorite among meat-eaters too! =)
Dave GutierrezMay 21, 2010Go to The Grit and skip the dinner for vegan cake deliciousness. Reward yourself with a big ol' belly rub.
Frank KeithJuly 26, 2011Get the Golden Bowl for lunch or dinner, follow with any cake, and get a vanilla iced coffee on the way out. Perfection.
Try the mondo burrito. Its big enough for two meals!
Thursday is Indian Feast night, always something different, but consistently good.
Order water and watch the waiters refill your glass in 5 second intervals.
This is my favorite restaurant in the entire world. No joke.
