About this business

Housed in a restored historic building, The Grit shows how good vegetarian fare can taste if done well. The interiors still retain the peeled walls and exposed bricks look, which adds to the charm of the place. The walls have been adorned with pretty paintings and there are comfortable chairs and banquettes where you can enjoy a healthy, tasty meal. The menu features plenty of gluten-free and vegan dishes. Try the Golden Tofu Wrap served with Sriracha mayo or the Black Bean Chili, a delicious mix of vegetables and black bean... read more

Good food, long wait I really like the food at the Grit. However the service has never been good. Be planned to wait a long time to get your food. Once you get the food it is very tasty. However, I wouldn't say it is worth the wait.

Over hyped My mother and I visited The Grit in the spring of 2007. It was recommended to us by several people since my mother and I are both vegetarians. Both of us were sorely disappointed by our experience.

Great Choices for Vegetarians The grit offers a wide variety of quality vegetarian dishes and some of the best desserts in town, all for reasonable prices. The atmosphere is unique, with interesting lighting and a diverse crowd of customers. The Grit is a good place to grab lunch or to go for dinner, but expect to wait for seating on weekend nights.

Vegetarian Absolutely the best place in town for vegetarian fare. I have never had an item there that i didn't enjoy. All my pals that are not vegetarians love it too. The breakfast is fantastic as well.

Vegetarian - scruptious This is my favorite restaurant in town, and it is also a great place to take family and friends when they come to visit. I love the casual atmosphere and the great food. I always eat too much, but try and leave room for their amazing desserts (if not.. get one to go, they are worth it!!)

great local veggie restaurant This is a great local place and with reason. They're recipes are out of this world and don't make you feel like you're eating vegitarian. You can eat dinner for under $10 but make sure to leave room for dessert. Last time I was there I had an organic apple pie that was out of the world. Food that is good for you that tastes good too.
