Terrible service. All the servers and bartenders are either high or drunk. Yeah, we saw the staff take multiple shots throughout the night. We know they go on “bathroom breaks” to go smoke. Took 20 mins for someone to take my order at the bar. Saw many people with the same struggle of having someone take their order. It just seems like the staff is purposely ignoring all of us. You’ll only be served if you’re friends with one of the bartenders.

Been too long. Pesto chicken flatbread (and the service) was awesome. Great lunch spot!

Nitty Gritty offers delicious food with fast service in a fun atmosphere. The menu features a variety of choices, from "bar food" to "diner food," including the popular hot honey chicken sandwich, Farmers Market burger, and Buffalo chicken sandwich. Gluten-free options are also available, with dedicated buns and a separate fryer. The restaurant is a great place to celebrate special occasions, such as birthdays, with perks like a free drink in a souvenir mug and a free burger for email sign-ups. Customers have praised the big and filling salads, amazing shakes, and tasty burgers. Although the portions of sides like fries or chips may be a bit small, the food itself is great, and the wait time is not long, even when busy. The atmosphere is enhanced by excellent bartenders like Sabine, who are known for making great drinks and providing outstanding service. Visitors have enjoyed meals like the pulled pork sandwich on a soft pretzel bun, highlighting the delicious flavors and perfectly cooked meat.
