Narobia’s Grits & Gravy
Review by: Michael Stern
7am on Habersham St., Savannah, Georgia. “What should I get for breakfast?” I ask Rob, who runs things at Narobia’s Grits & Gravy.
“Do you like grits?” he asks, suggesting a plate of shrimp and grits, which just happens to be one of my favorite dishes … when it’s done right. And here it is so, so right: dense, creamy grits smothered with shrimp in peppery gravy that is bright with vegetable flavor (and happens to be pork-free, as is everything at Narobia’s). A wonderful breakfast.
Whatever else you eat at Narobia’s, French toast is essential. According to a sign on the side of the restaurant, it is “so good it don’t need syrup!” That’s a fact. Syrup would be redundant on French toast so tender, fluffy-textured, and generously powder-sugared.
Popular among both eat-in and take-out customers, Narobia’s is a bustling neighborhood place with a small open kitchen where half a dozen staff members criss-cross each other preparing food, waiting tables, and chatting among themselves and with regular patrons. For me, it is a must-eat breakfast highlight of any trip to Savannah.

I came across this Mom & Papa’s place 30 years ago. Back when they were on Waters Ave. They would move around, but like a little lost kitten I would follow the sweet aroma around town until my lips were tasting their liver, and grits or smothered gifts with lightly scramble fluffy eggs and orange juice again. I can not count the number of times I have brought my kids here to taste so many of their Southern Farm style breakfast recipes. From fish and gifts to the their homemade french toast being chewed in your mouth with Rich warm syrup. It’s the best reminder of my childhood days eating breakfast with my grandfather in the Fall season. NAROBIA’S BEST IN SAVANNAH, GA
