Vegas Locals Favorite Southern Soul Food Cafe

[@davidgrybb8547]

Whooooooooooooaaaa super Delish!!!❤

[@marthaholcomb8148]

This is one place I will be eating at when I come back to Vegas. I think gumbo and gritzs are so delish. If a place can fry catfish that looks that good, I'm all for it. I would like to try fried chicken thighs there, bet it good too. Someone said they have not ate fried chicken for breakfast. I have, because my moms family ate fried chicken, white creamy gravy and biscuits during the depression at breakfast . My mom lived on a stock farm, they had to eat something hearty. They worked picking corn and anything else that needed doing. ❤❤❤

[@bestfoodreviewroadtrip7612]

What a wonderful story! We hope you enjoy their food as much as we did

[@whiv]

Gritz Cafe is such a gem! Their fried catfish and peach cobbler are unbeatable-definitely a must-visit for true Southern comfort food.

[@bestfoodreviewroadtrip7612]

Totally agree!!

[@cherikruger784]

Oh that Cobbler looks absolutely delicious. That is not a dessert, it is breakfast! 🤣

[@bulcub]

I love my grits with the sweet potato waffles!

[@supersolo6]

Glad you went. We've been friends with the owners for decades. They're (mainly Trina) good folks, a great family.

[@bestfoodreviewroadtrip7612]

Tell them thank you from us for sharing such wonderful food that clearly is made with care ❤️

[@laytonminnix3200]

That looks like an Ol Southern Down Home Meal. More of those videos if you can find places that serve them?

[@bestfoodreviewroadtrip7612]

We'll certainly try. That was a great meal!

[@palomahealing5073]

I didn't know about this restaurant, and I've lived here since 1986? Thanx, you guys👌

[@bestfoodreviewroadtrip7612]

We hope you get the chance to check it out!

[@MrJ-dc3yz]

Yes Gritz is bomb. If you want something to drink with your food go to Bell's down the street at H/Owens.

[@bestfoodreviewroadtrip7612]

Thanks for that tip!

[@kathywood5740]

Grits and collard greens are my fav! I’m hungry now!!

[@bestfoodreviewroadtrip7612]

They were some of the best we've tried!

[@sirchuckster69]

OMG! Peach cobbler? That looks so good. What? Ni sweet potato pie? 2 of my favorite desserts. Yum

[@bestfoodreviewroadtrip7612]

We were so full already!!! We wanted to order both

[@laurelhansen4514]

Love how you cover the gamut of restaurants, especially small entrepreneurs.

[@bestfoodreviewroadtrip7612]

More to come! We do try to mix it up and get especially excited to share smaller local brands

[@thespankdmonkey]

So much good food in the north area. Me and the wife just tried Lumberjacks off of Craig. I was starving after having to fast for a blood draw. The portions were huge and the food was very good. I love catfish and will definitely try this spot. Thank you for the videos.

[@bestfoodreviewroadtrip7612]

Thank you! That place looks good! We'll check it out

[@juliofrausto7316]

Thank you for your videos I love a happy hour specials you guys are awesome I'll be in Vegas in December and I'll be eating on the art district The Korean buffet and the Chicago Pizza all thanks to you guys happy holidays

[@bestfoodreviewroadtrip7612]

Have a wonderful trip! And thank you

[@palomahealing5073]

I love a good Fried Catfish🩷🩷🩷

[@valwaller4612]

Thanks for the review. It's our go to place when we're in Vegas. Enjoy!

[@bestfoodreviewroadtrip7612]

Thanks! It's so good!

[@lrearobinson3844]

I love watching you guys and can not wait to see where you go next. I loved Grits Cafe have eaten there twice. It gets busy so go early

[@bestfoodreviewroadtrip7612]

Great tip! We were lucky to get a table right away, but it was the last one.

[@secondamazonprime-kv5xo]

Thank you for this!! Gonna go the next time we’re in LV!

[@bestfoodreviewroadtrip7612]

Enjoy your next visit, and we hope you love their menu like we did!

[@VivaLasVegasX]

Love that place!

[@bestfoodreviewroadtrip7612]

We fell in love too!

[@habakkuk4711]

It wasn't until I was an adult that the term "soul food" became part of the vernacular. To me it's the same I ate growing up on a hard scrabble farm in Georgia. To me it was poor people's food. Never had a waffle, in fact never heard of them. We certainly didn't eat chicken in the morning. Grits were for morning and ...with grits?...nope. I remember setting at a huge table with about a dozen relatives and a huge pot of collards and several pones of cornbread and that was the entire meal. I'm glad you're able to enjoy the food and I likely would too as long as no sugar was in the cornbread.

[@bestfoodreviewroadtrip7612]

Thank you for sharing your story. That's what we love about different styles of food as they have "real" history entwined into the menu (with sometimes a waffle attached 😉)

[@billhansher9911]

For Amy, Jiffy mix add sour cream, a little sugar, vanilla, and I chop up jalapenos and add some jalapeno juice.

[@bestfoodreviewroadtrip7612]

That sounds incredible! We'll try that at home soon. Thank you so much

[@ohdogwow2]

I haven't had good soul food in years. I live in the America USA southwest. When a good restaurant pops up, there isn't enough people to show up to keep it going and they go out of business. Usually. I hypothesize it's because to make good handcrafted soul food it costs more than people want to pay. But what do I know.

[@bestfoodreviewroadtrip7612]

That makes sense The profit margins for restaurants are low, and risk is high Sadly, it makes it difficult for many great dining ideas to launch

[@LittySmitty]

I tried Mario's across the street,Grits is definitely next!!

[@bestfoodreviewroadtrip7612]

Hope you enjoy!

[@hazmat1978]

That Catfish needs some Mac and cheese! And Hush puppies! And some Tartar sauce! Okay Amy, I'll shut up! 🤭

[@bestfoodreviewroadtrip7612]

😆 all great ideas

[@salinator5966]

I like it that they do the chicken in a basket. I hate it when they put the chicken on top of the waffle and then add syrup on top of the chicken.

[@bestfoodreviewroadtrip7612]

It was nice separated so we could taste each component

[@Ronald-dc6me]

Add a little milk to your grits at the last 5 mins.of cooking

[@bestfoodreviewroadtrip7612]

Thanks!

[@OnAirVoice]

Muddy Waters sang Honey Bee back in 1970

[@bestfoodreviewroadtrip7612]

Right? Thanks for the reminder and context for the drink name!

[@carriep5483]

We have a friend who played drums for Muddy Waters... thanks for the memory. Haven't seen him in a while.

[@bestfoodreviewroadtrip7612]

Thank you for sharing that story ❤️

[@sirchuckster69]

Surprised Paul didn't add pepper on the grits or hot sauce on the greens, chicken, or catfish! The wings look really good!

[@bestfoodreviewroadtrip7612]

We both added their hot sauce to the fish, and Paul added it to the potatoes Really good!

[@paulj2948]

Looks so good! We don't have many places like this in Northern NJ. But now I need to go get some since it'll be worth a drive! Do you ever BYOB? I have a beer cooler bag for that.

[@bestfoodreviewroadtrip7612]

We would love to find good soul food in New York!

[@mdoehrman]

The only thing that seems to be missing from the menu is fried okra and some sweet potato pie. Growing up with a southern grandma is the best.

[@bestfoodreviewroadtrip7612]

Oh yes! Okra is really good (when prepared right) We had quite a but when traveling in the south

[@michaelkeller4807]

Love me some good soul food. That all looks good, but I would have to get the catfish, greens and grits. Thanks for sharing

[@bestfoodreviewroadtrip7612]

Thanks for watching! Both dishes were good but we both preferred the fish

[@deanvoss7098]

I'd love to buy you two a beer next time I go to Las Vegas😊

[@bestfoodreviewroadtrip7612]

Reach out through our Facebook page (via Messenger) Sounds fun!

[@TRMV]

That place is so good! Next up you have to try Baby Stacks, and the Peppermill.

[@bestfoodreviewroadtrip7612]

Check out our list of reviews as we've shared our meal at peppermill! We'll check out Baby Stacks, thanks!

[@VivaLasVegasX]

@TRMV Peppermill so over rated imo. Very expensive for what it is. Blueberry hill 10x better imo. I could probably name 30 spots better than Peppermill and cheaper. I had 1228 main the other day and that was excellent. Baby stacks is ok. Pancakes are like a crazy dessert!

[@TRMV]

@ that is your opinion, everyone has one.

[@VivaLasVegasX]

@TRMV ok so Peppermill is like $20+ for a biscuit cut in half with gravy, no sides. Blueberry hill biscuits and gravy are mid teens and include bacon and eggs. Like I said Peppermill is probably the most over hyped restaurant in Vegas. I've ate at around 300 spots.

[@TRMV]

@again your opinion, eat wherever you like.

[@MrKrissy1]

Catfish is my favorite too

[@lrearobinson3844]

Smoked turkey also works with greens. A little hot sauce can get rid of the bitter taste

[@mrpersianality6363]

Theyre bitter if theyre overcooked

[@bestfoodreviewroadtrip7612]

We find that hot sauce fixes a lot! 😆 Thanks for the turkey to as well

[@Guido-h1o]

No Beer. Need a Beer with fried catfish. Happy Holidays.

[@bestfoodreviewroadtrip7612]

Totally agree 👍

[@denniscahill8753]

I think it would be interesting to see you guys do some reviews on speakeasies in Las Vegas areas. Ive been to the one in the mob museum near Freemont street and had a really good time.

[@bestfoodreviewroadtrip7612]

Great idea! We'd love that! They are usually pretty dark, which makes filming pretty difficult We can try!

[@VivaLasVegasX]

@@bestfoodreviewroadtrip7612 I had capos recently and loved it. The live crooner singing put it over the top imo

[@Untamedlove]

This has always been something hard to find in Vegas is a good Soul food restaurant...I use to go to a restaurant on Flamingo blvd about 1 mile from the Flamingo hotel. There use to be a few places off of MLK blvd in the Rough part of town that had good BBQ ...

[@bestfoodreviewroadtrip7612]

This location was outstanding!

[@goddessPamelaJJ]

The secret to not having to taste the “bitterness” of greens, put the cornbread in with the greens until the cornbread is crumbs in the greens. It tastes better that way. 🥬 🍞

[@bestfoodreviewroadtrip7612]

That sounds wonderful

[@lenalyles2712]

Catfish is one fish I am allowed to eat and at 71 I had the worst I have ever had in my life a couple months ago. It was so thin and coated with flour plus over cooked.

[@bestfoodreviewroadtrip7612]

We weren't lying when we said how good it was here! We went to a "famous" place near Biloxi with high expectations, and it was so bad that we skipped sharing it on the channel

[@mrpersianality6363]

Greens are bitter when theyre overcooked

[@bestfoodreviewroadtrip7612]

Interesting

[@mrpersianality6363]

@bestfoodreviewroadtrip7612 i learned that staying in south Carolina for a while. Thats what people there say

[@-SarahElizabeth-]

As a southerner, that cornbread looks atrocious.

[@bestfoodreviewroadtrip7612]

It was delicious Better than some we ate in the south

[@-SarahElizabeth-]

@ haha. Then let me know when you’re in the south again and I’ll send you to places that have good cornbread. Lol
