Here at Only In Nevada, we are strong believers that "West is best." However, we have to admit that the South definitely knows a thing or two about dishing up some seriously good eats. It turns out you can get an authentic taste of the South right here in the Silver State when you visit the popular eatery known as Gritz Cafe.

When you're craving authentic Southern cuisine, there's no better place to go than Gritz Cafe in Las Vegas. This humble cafe is showing the Silver State what southern hospitality is all about and it's absolutely delicious.

Known for serving up some of the best soul food in the Las Vegas Valley, Gritz Cafe embodies everything we love about this authentic cuisine. Boasting all of the most popular southern dishes, you'll find yourself wishing you could try a little bit of everything.

Gritz Cafe first opened its doors in 2008 and they've definitely gained a loyal following since then. The owner, Trina Jiles, says it best by stating "Gritz is not a place. It's an experience taking you back to the Deep South with tantalizing tasty dishes."

On the menu are a wide variety of delicious plates from all over the South. Each plate is named after the state that it comes from, like the Arkansas plate with crispy chicken-fried steak or the Louisiana with juicy beef hot links.

Of course, any southern restaurant worth their salt knows how to serve up some mouthwatering fried catfish and Gritz Cafe is no different. Battered and fried to perfection, you can order the catfish on a po' boy sandwich or in a basket with potatoes and grits.
