Griddle & Grits | Our Story
Where Port Royal comes for breakfast
Griddle & Grits lives inside a repurposed one-room schoolhouse on Paris Avenue — a building that was always meant to bring people together. We kept the spirit and added a really good breakfast.
The building
The schoolhouse sat on Paris Avenue the way old things do in the Lowcountry — quietly, with plenty of history in the walls. Opening the red door felt less like starting a restaurant and more like putting an old room back to use.
The kitchen
Everything here is made from scratch — not because it's trendy, but because that's the only way it tastes right. The chalkboard specials change, but the commitment to real ingredients and careful cooking doesn't.
The plates
Southern breakfast here is generous and unhurried — golden omelets, biscuits and gravy, cheesy scrambled eggs with crispy bacon. Dishes that feel like someone cooked them just for you.
The crab cake
Lowcountry crab on a breakfast plate was an easy call — the waterways are right outside the door. Guests have called it the best they've ever had; we just make sure they're right every time.
Port Royal, at your own pace
We're not on the main tourist drag, and that's kind of the point — Port Royal moves slower, and so do we. Strangers wander in, regulars pull up their usual seats, and everyone leaves a little happier than they arrived.
