True Grits

I did not try grits at True grits so no comment on that haha. However, I tried their home fries. OMG good and give me the whole tub of this. I can eat this all day long!!! I can reheat the leftovers in the oven and tastes even better!!!Their BLT is amazing to eat!!! We had takeout from there and the food they pack to travel really well so if you are planning on being on the road to get to somewhere from Gainesville, it would be such a great idea to get something to go from here:))Have the biscuit with gravy or sausage with biscuit and your kids will sleep in the car and will never ask when you are going there yet a million times!!! You do taste pepper very gently in the gravy but not too spicy at all. When we look around, the inflation is everywhere and a thing of fancy coffee with flavoring costs just about $10. Their BLT with less than a $10 price tag is one of the best things you could eat on this earth for that price. I mean it feels like they put the entire package of bacon into one BLT!!!!! Might as well eat there if you want anything that has bacon in it!!! First of all, there is something different about the bread. Is it potato bread or what not and it is not greasy at all. Just crisp and toasted well and layers of iceberg lettuce so crunchy and refreshing, and multiple layers with bacon stacks!! It is not one of those places with a few strips of bacon in a single layer, this thing is really stacked up!!! It is very filling without an overwhelming amount of grease and fat. My fingers were still clean and dry eating this BLT sandwich but my belly was full and trust me that I could eat like a truck driver who has been on the road for 12 hours. Better deal, quality and tasting food here than at Chick Filet for the price to beat that!!! Think about that!!!Sausage and biscuit: better than any of the main breakfast restaurants!!! Their biscuits and gravy: no words necessary. Any attempt to describe it would be a superfluous use of words! Just go try it! You will see!!!I love me some good old southern cooking. I almost never drink sweet tea even though I do love sweet tea since it is a slippery slope if I add sweet tea to my routine. This is the one of a very few places that I would order that sweetened ice tea up. It has a really nice tea taste with just the right amount of sugar. It is not overwhelmingly sweet that spikes up your blood sugar putting you on keto coma and sending your pancreas and kidneys on downwards spiral. Just enough to appreciate the tea. It seems to be the very thing about this restaurant. The cleanness...Everything feels and tastes clean like walking into a nice starched up linen store. Bacon strips cooked to perfection and drained the fat off properly. Let the ingredients, the way the food is prepared shine instead of masking it with fat and sugar.I am very satisfied with the food here and cannot wait to try again!!!

Food is always wonderful! Very nicely presented and great portions! Staff are always super friendly no matter how busy they are !

Food is awesome staff is great!!!!The people are always friendly and helpful they suggest food to try just an all around great friendly place!!!!!

Not worth the drive. Don't drive in for it. You can get BETTER food elsewhere. Not hygienic at all. Do yourself a favor and scroll down to the bottom of the page and click unreccomended reviews. I can substantiate a lot of what the ex-employee ranted about. Back of the house was the worst, and I have seen them mishandle food. I hoped it was just the opening they were unprepared for, but it seems it was not.

Bless this place. BLESS THEM. I wanted to love it. I did. We walked in to get a quick breakfast and the ceiling was leaking with a trash bin below it catching the drip. We stayed anyway, after we were seated by a non communicative hostess or wait dress wasn't much better. I would say they were shy, but they communication and friendliness wasn't really there. We were not locals, maybe that has something to do with it. Took 25 minutes to get our food , we got a chicken friend steak with bacon and eggs and a breakfast bowl with home fries sausage and eggs, we asked for eggs over medium, what we got was runny, oily, mush. The chicken fried steak was decent. Small, but okay. Eggs were not good. Very very runny. Under done. Cheese covered. I didn't even take any photos it was such an unpleasant experience I just wanted to leave. The idea of the restaurant is great, just poorly executed

Great food! Friendly waitresses, and host that make up feel right at home. If you are wanting breakfast or lunch I definitely recommend True Grits.

Food and services were great. I had the Hawaiian chicken sandwich. It was excellent I would recommend this place to anybody.

I feel a little wierd walking in but they are nice and food is good. Their grits are delicious and prices aren't bad at all

Very disappointing and a bit disgusting. Visited Interlachen for the day, Sept. 30, and a local recommended True Grits for lunch. My husband and I ordered Southern cooking type meals, my mom ordered soup and salad. We waited almost an hour for the food, while noticing parties that arrived after we did were being served. My and husband's dishes were okay. Mom's salad was the saddest iceberg lettuce topped with dismal amounts of tomato and onion. The soup (ground beef and veggie) was not a soup but a glob of ground beef with some peas tossed in, and a hair!!! I should have gone with my gut feeling and walked out immediately when I noticed how filthy the floors were.

We eat here whenever we go to the lake for the weekend. Consistently good food. They can be busy but the food is always consistent! Blueberry pancakes yummy!!! Omelets so good!!
