The Grit has been an old favorite in Athens for more than two decades. It serves vegetarian food in a way that appeals to ALL kinds of eaters. The lure of delicious homemade food served in generous portions at inexpensive prices, coupled with a lovingly restored pair of handsome dining rooms in a splendid historic building…it all brings people back and back again.

What They’re Saying About The Grit

• I make Tofu Rubens at home, and am kind of known for them. The Grit’s put mine to shame.  It was tasty and wonderful. The sweet potato fries were the best I’ve ever had. They were light, crispy, and just the right amount of spicy.  H.A from San Francisco in Yelp.

• We had the opportunity to eat here twice in 2 days while visiting Athens. Lunch the first day was a success–the grilled cheese and spinach was very good as was the golden bowl and the Med Platter. A few nights later we went for dessert and it was less satisfying. dbrown46, Vienna, VA in Trip Advisor.

• The Grit is the best restaurant in Athens, hands-down! They have a wide-ranging menu, and all my non-vegetarian friends love it! They also have the best staff ever! By cmaumu1 in Yahoo! Travel
