"WOW! Amazing food and wonderful service! My boyfriend and I had Jalieesa as our server and she was absolutely amazing. She provided great food recommendations and was just overall a joy to be around. Food was 10/10 and customer service was a 20/10. Thank you for a wonderful breakfast experience!"

"Sugar & Grits is a true hidden gem in Memphis! The food is absolutely delicious — every dish is made with care and full of Southern flavor. The grits are creamy and perfectly seasoned, and the breakfast options are hearty and satisfying. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff go out of their way to make you feel right at home. You can tell they take pride in what they do. Whether you’re stopping by for breakfast or brunch, this place never disappoints. Highly recommend to anyone looking for great food and genuine Southern hospitality!"

"Today was our first time here and it was incredible! While walking in, a couple walking out passed us by saying,” the service is about to be amazing.” That’s never happened to me before. We were seated quickly and Vernon was so helpful during our entire meal. He was attentive, answered our questions thoroughly, and even gave us a house special (sweet tea with lemonade ice-ee in it? Delicious 🤤). We had catfish and grits with a monkey bread as a shareable. We highly recommend Sugar grits (ask for Vernon) and we’ll be stopping by at least 2x month for great service and food."

"The various choices of grits is amazing. The different flavor combos are great; my favorite was the duck & grits. Loved the food and atmosphere so much I got my picture with the owner and staff and bought a T-shirt."

"I recently visited Sugar Grits in Memphis, Tennessee, for brunch on a Saturday morning. Based on reviews, I anticipated a potential wait, and I was told that the food would be worth it. While this was accurate, the wait time was approximately 45 minutes to an hour, which was longer than expected. Initially, the establishment appeared to be slightly understaffed, leading to delays in service. Despite this, once we received our food, it was truly enjoyable and worth the wait. Interestingly, some patrons seated immediately received their orders within about 15 minutes, suggesting that staffing levels improved later during our visit, possibly when a manager arrived and adjustments were made. The staff was generally friendly, although there was a minor issue with an initial order that was lost and needing to be re-entered. The server was apologetic and attentive afterward, contributing positively to our experience. In summary, Sugar Grits offers excellent food that most likely justifies the wait, provided you have sufficient time and patience. I recommend planning ahead and being prepared for a potential delay as the team appears to be responsive and committed to delivering a enjoyable experience."
