Nothing cures a case of the winter blues like a hearty helping of comfort food. (They don’t call it comfort food for nothing, ya know.) And while the Magnolia State’s got lots of restaurants that specialize in comforting cuisine, none quite compare to GRIT. Take a look:
In terms of tiny towns, it doesn’t get much smaller than Taylor, MS, which has a population of about 300!
The tiny town has a big reputation, though, and that’s because it’s home to the popular eatery, Taylor Grocery. However, Taylor Grocery isn’t the only travel worthy eatery in Taylor.
Aside from the comfy atmosphere, it’s the menu of comfort foods that’ll make you feel right at home. But GRIT doesn’t serve your typical Southern dishes.
But don’t let the word “sophisticated” fool you. Though the dishes feature unique twists, they’re based off of traditional southern recipes that have been passed down for generations.
Open for brunch, lunch, and dinner, the tasty offering includes something for all palettes. The brunch fare includes regional faves, like shrimp and grits and chicken and waffles.
Sure to hit the spot, the lunch offering includes an array of quick eats, including burgers and sandwiches. There are also specials, like the Fried Egg Pimento Cheese and Ham Sandwich.
GRIT is open for lunch and dinner Wednesday – Saturday. Brunch is served on Sundays. For more information, call (662) 638-3922. You can also visit the eatery’s website or Facebook page.
This isn’t the only must-visit eatery in Taylor. Read about another here.
