Griggs Restaurant & Food Store

I passed by this place several times taking my kids to the eye dr and I kept forgetting about them. But when I tell you this is a hidden gem. I stopped here on my way to get my girls, from my ex mother in law and it was her birthday so I stopped to get dinner. I was looking at the menu and the guy suggested a meal for us that would be better. The food was delicious so I told my brother about it and he tasted my shrimp fried rice, and a week later I took him. Lol and one of his running buddies is a foodie so he took him there. We picked up a menu and have decided to try everything on the menu and mark it off as we get it. I called in our second order and it was ready shortly after we got there. I should’ve known on the first visit that it was going to be great when a lady came to pick up her 100 piece fish family meals. Oh I forgot the family meal came with 25 pieces, I mixed mine with fish and shrimp, it also came with deliciously seasoned fries, garlic bread, coleslaw and red beans and rice. I’d give them 10 stars ⭐️ if I could.

Had a chance to try them out for the first time and ordered the fried catfish po'boy with fries. The sandwich was dressed well but I wish the fried catfish had more flavor. I couldn't really taste it and it didn't help that the piece was a bit small and thin compared to the size of the sandwich. I also was not a huge fan of the roll used. The good thing is the roll did not fall apart or get terribly soggy with the sauce but the roll was a little tough. However, I have heard that good rolls are hard to find in the southwest because of the hard water so I won't hold that against them(I'm originally from the Northeast where it's easy to get good rolls). The fries were great though and they give you a lot. I wasn't expecting the fries to be as good as they were: thick but not starchy at all and crispy. The people there are very friendly and the service is great. I would go back again but try a different menu item. Went back a second time and tried the Cajun pasta. It was excellent, definitely recommend. This place is good but they have a huge menu, you have to know what to get.

The food was authentic, perfectly prepared, served hot, & ample portions were plated. The very sweet, professional, & knowledgeable young man who took our order & brought our food went above & beyond to make certain our meal was just right. We loved the small diner atmosphere, except that they were having A/C problems the night we were there. However, the fans made a good breeze & we were plenty comfortable dining there. Pro tip: Try the boudin balls & the grilled redfish. Soooo good! 💖

First time was about 3 or 4 years ago searching for something for my grandmother. The food was on point from my grandmother's perspective and that's all that matters to me. My platter wat good as well. I still frequent the business cause it's a clean establishment and we love the food. It's my top 3 choices for seafood.
