the last time I was at this CB was Oct. 2023. the experience I had in Oct. was awesome which is the reason I went here instead of Florence which I am closer to. Today’s experience was ok but one major item that stuck in my mind was THE GRITS! 🤢 I have never been served grits in a paper cup. Every time I have ordered grits from any CB they are plain, so you can add the amount of salt/butter you want. These grits, I noticed immediately they were swimming 1/4 cup of butter, clumpy and discolored. I didn't want to complain as I already had to ask for a spoon for my coffee. I just did not want to be that type of customer today. I reluctantly had a few bites and there was something off but I didn’t realize until I got home and was thinking about it. I think these are re-used grits!! I have always needed to salt/butter my grits and there was no need for any salt, and the massive amount of butter didn’t make any sense and the grits discolored like other food had mixed in with them. I really believe that these were scraped off other peoples plates now that i think about it they had other flavors mixed in from other food. 😳 that’s why I couldn’t figure out what that aftertaste was because it’s a mix of different food, and why would you serve it in a paper cup vs a ceramic bowl? Is it possible they were low on grits and had to make do? 🤔 I posted a picture they were pretty gross. I know I will eat at this location again but it’s a shame that I’m going to have to tell my server next time about today and I would like grits with NO butter/salt as they should be that way as i have gotten at various locations/states for over 30 years. always plain, white and smooth.

I had erased my other feedback, because I really want the focus to be on the grits. I never want to go through this again. also, judging from the response no apologies or acknowledgment of my bad experience, Just a thanks for stopping by. It doesn’t seem like my concern was heard or valued or will even be addressed. Oh well.
