Elichai Foger: I had one morning in portland and i sure am glad i came here. Eggs were great. Biscuit was great. Potato cake was great. Cheese grits, also great. Dug the DYI coffee situation as well.

DANGER TAM: Come with an empty stomach and full ambition. Their grits is one of the best outside of the South and as a Southerner, I would know. Also slap some chicken on the Regina for an added hat tip.
Jen Shin: where to start... hash browns, fried chicken biscuit with gravy, and the shrimp & grits are all amazing.
Tone Mosley: Actually pretty good. Long line but wait wasn't bad. The Reggie Deluxe and Shrimp & grits. Grits were not instant but not sure what Greek grits are oh well.

Scot Olsen: Holy cow, when they put “grits” in the name they meant it. Excellent 👌🏻. Note that omelettes can be made smaller with two-eggs for $2 less.
Jonathan Payne: So many options on the menu. I suggest the uptown shrimp and grits, the biscuits and gravy, and the pancakes. All were delicious and will leave you wanting to take a step in Cajun country for more!
Dan Klimke: The biscuits are amazing but don’t overdo it since the plates are so massive

Robert Leary: The chicken is really good and the hot sauce goes well with the grits. The hush puppies are not cooked in the middle.
Brook Shelley: Pretty solid southern food. Chicken fried steak is a gem, as are their poboys, grits, and mashed potatoes
Alisha Aguero: Try the fritters! Po Boy was also amazing! Super affordable and amazing food.

Ricky Engelberg: Delicious. Brisket and chicken are way to go. Trout is great as well. Grits on brunch menu are fantastic. Very kid friendly!
Jay Crowthers: New favorite BBQ place. Ribs were perfect!
Eater: Podnah’s hits the lowest common denominator of what makes food satisfying: salt, sweetness, fat, and Rodney Muirhead’s sauce has the perfect acidity. The brisket is perfectly smoked. [Eater 38 Member] Read more.

Davis Graveyard Halloween Display: Vegetarian food is a bit lacking. But that is what you would expect for Southern food. Bring back the grits, not just on Wednesdays. :) One of my fav bar in the area - great service, great people!
Susan Tipton: The cheesy grits are really good.
Lora Huntley: Tater tot casserole = ultimate comfort food. I'd be happy with just that and the collards with pork.
