🔥 WE’RE HIRING: GRILL

The Grit is looking for a seriously great grill cook to join the crew. And this ain’t for the faint of heart y’all.

We’re a high-energy kitchen with no room for ego or drama. We work hard, move fast, have fun, and care a hell of a lot about putting out great food.

Highly competitive compensation.
High standards.
Good people.
No bull.

We’re The Grit - Elizabeth City’s most popular new burger joint - and we’re looking for the best.

If smashing is your specialty, you know your way around a flat top, and you want to work with a team that takes the food seriously without taking itself too seriously…

Message us to set up an interview.

Good morning y’all! We’re officially into our second month now, but what a month we just had. We’re so thankful for all of the support you’ve all shown us. We’ve said before, but y’all are the best!

We’ve learned a lot in the past 30 days and we need to take today to make some improvements to the kitchen so that we can better serve you (and maybe even get online ordering going at some point)! So we’re going to be CLOSED today, but we’ll see you all tomorrow morning (Tuesday) at 11AM.

We’ve got a couple of more announcements we’ll be making shortly, so stay tuned!

We were THIS close to making it through the week, but y’all had different plans. Turns out Elizabeth City really did want a place to eat on Sundays. Anyway, thank y’all for a great week. We’ll see you tomorrow!

We thought we’d make it a little bit longer today, but y’all were in a rush to make it in before we sold out! Reloading tomorrow morning and we’ll see you at 11AM!

07/19/2026

Good morning y’all! What a week it’s been! We’ve loved seeing every one of you come out and spend some time with us - regulars (already) and new faces alike! We’re open at 11AM this morning, but we do expect we’ll SELL OUT early afternoon. Y’all really turned out the last three days. We’ll keep you posted.

Welcomed some guys from the ElizabethCity FireDepartment last night. Wouldn’t you know that every one of them ordered The Heat or The Smoke? True to brand y’all. Thanks for stopping by and for all that you do!

Hey Revitalize Fitness, we see y’all putting in the work around the corner. You got a couple of strong people that could help us lift a heavy piece of equipment this weekend? Protein is on us.

🇺🇸 FIRST FRIDAY + FOURTH OF JULY = HOT DOGS. 🌭

Tonight we’re doing something a little different.

To celebrate America’s 250th Anniversary, we’re hosting The Grit’s First Annual Fourth of July “Cookout”!

Instead of our regular menu, we’ll be serving an old-fashioned cookout menu built for a busy night downtown:

🌭 Hot Dogs - $2.50
🍟 Hand-Cut French Fries - $2.50
🍋 Fresh Lemonades & Orangeades - $2.50

Build your own dog at our condiment bar with all the classics - ketchup, mustard, relish, onions, AND sauerkraut.

With thousands of people expected downtown for First Friday and the Fourth of July celebration, this lets us serve more people, faster, while keeping everyone fed and back to the festivities.

Grab a dog, grab some fries, and celebrate with us. We’ll see y’all at 5:00!

Happy Fourth of July from all of us at The Grit!

Good morning y’all! Happy First Friday!  Preparations are well underway downtown for Elizabeth City’s annual Fourth of July celebration. Just a couple of updates for y’all:

We will be closed until 5PM today. We need to move some things around in the kitchen and make some upgrades so that we can better serve y’all every day. Electrician is going to be in this morning and we plan to be set by the afternoon. Disappointed we’re not gonna be able to have you join us this morning, but we promise it’ll be worth it in the long run.

And then…next post coming soon!
