Grits cafe's menu focus is traditional southern food, not exactly like Mom used to make, adding creativity and flair by fusing old and new ideas and techniques. Many appetizers and entrees spotlight local produce, seafood and cheeses, with a touch of Cajun, Southwest and Asian influence thrown in to keep things interesting. The wine list features a number of handcrafted boutique wines produced in

limited quantities, many not readily available in other areas of the country. The entire Grits Cafe team understand the connection between a region, its history, its people and its food. Their commitment to providing great food in an upbeat setting, and exceeding each guests' expectations every time they visit, is taken very seriously. Many have described Grits Cafe as "One of the best kept secrets in Georgia."
