4.6 / 5

The culinary talent at the Urban Grub is exceeded only by their dedication. They drive to Kentucky to get the corn and grind their own grits. The shrimp are large gulf shrimp. The flavors are complex; the dish is creamy perfection.

The grits are creamy and rich, the shrimp are cooked just right, and every bite feels like a warm hug from Tennessee itself. One reviewer even called it the highlight of their entire Nashville trip.

Plump shrimp are seared just right, kissed with a smoky, savory gravy that clings to creamy stone-ground grits. The portion is hearty yet balanced.
