The Grit

Consistently good food with lots of gluten free options and vegan choice. The staff is knowledgeable about celiac and are helpful with choices. It’s a good choice for people with celiac because the menu options are numerous. They have great daily rice noodle and quinoa bowls along with a great variety of fresh vegetables from which to choose. This is one of my go-to’s in Athens and I’ve enjoyed this place since it opened way back when. The food is healthy and you don’t leave feeling bloated. They also have homemade gluten-free desserts, which are awesome.

I eat here frequently, either the nachos with pinto beans or the noodle bowl. I’m very sensitive to gluten and haven’t had a reaction. They warn that the gf dessert isn’t perfectly isolated, but I was ok the one time I tried it.

Ordered a potato skillet with egg, that was one of the only breakfast items that wasn’t a sandwich. Very vegan friendly and our waitress was as helpful as she could be without knowing a lot.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I love the Grit! Not always a ton of GF options, but I am super gluten sensitive and have never gotten sick!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Celiac friendly?

Yes

There aren't gluten free options here. When I asked about it, their answer was just to 'leave off the bread'. No gf bread or wraps. This shouldn't be on the app in my opinion.

Celiac friendly?

No

excellent! and always a GF dessert option.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The Grit offers a few great selections for being gluten intolerant. I have eaten here for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and even though I wish they had a wider variety of gluten free options I have been highly satisfied with The Grit Staple, Loaded Nachos, Stir Fry, and a few of their desserts such as their Almond Coconut Chocolate Pie and their Chai Coconut Ice Cream. Definitely look into this place for good wholesome food and a bang for your buck.
