ABOUT GRIT
You may see the name GRIT and picture a treasured staple of Southern food, but study the blackboard along the back wall of GRIT Taylor and you will find another definition:
Grit in psychology is a positive, non-cognitive trait based on an individual's passion for a particular long-term goal or end state, coupled with a powerful motivation to achieve their respective objective…
Husband-and-wife owners Nick Reppond and Angie Sicurezza take both definitions to heart. At GRIT, they offer sophisticated Southern cuisine with a passion for tradition and experimentation. Nick recreates dishes from his grandmother’s table in Memphis, while incorporating bold flavor combinations from Old World and international cuisine. Guests can find comfort in familiarity while opening their minds to exciting new flavors.
Nick and Angie have made their mark on Oxford’s restaurant scene as veterans of the City Grocery Restaurant Group and as owners of their own company, A&N Catering. The couple now calls Taylor home. GRIT is committed to instilling that sense of home through friendly service and impeccable, locally sourced dishes, offset by the welcoming atmosphere of Taylor’s Plein Air neighborhood. GRIT also honors Taylor’s vibrant arts community, acting as a gallery space for local artists.
Whether driving in from Oxford or Taylor, or coming from farther away, guests can cozy up to a table at GRIT (or enjoy a delicious signature cocktail at the bar) and feel perfectly at home.

CELEBRATING 10 YEARS OF GRIT
Join us on June 18th as we celebrate ten incredible years of GRIT.
What started as a dream became a restaurant, a gathering place, countless celebrations, lifelong friendships, and memories we’ll carry forever. Over the last decade, GRIT has been part of weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, graduations, family dinners, late-night conversations, and so many moments that mattered.
Some of you have been with us since the very beginning. Some found us along the way. All of you became part of the story.
Now it’s time to celebrate together.
On Thursday, June 18, we’re throwing the kind of party we love most - great food, great drinks, live music, and a summer evening with the people who helped make it all possible.
Expect fresh summer flavors, raw bar favorites, barbecue, fried chicken, garden-inspired dishes, throwback cocktails, desserts, and plenty of reasons to go back for seconds. (Or thirds. We support it.)
And because no great party happens in silence, we’ve lined up an incredible evening of music featuring
Kelley & Jesse Pinion
KC and the Moonshine Band featuring Casey Lipe, Mark Yacovone, Ricky Burkhead, John Allouise, and Bradley Gordon
Keith “The Prince of the Delta Blues” Johnson keeping the Delta spirit alive.
This night is for our guests, our staff, our friends, our families, our regulars, our wedding couples, and everyone who has been part of the story along the way.
Food. Drinks. Music. Friends.
A summer night in Taylor.
Come raise a glass with us as we celebrate 10 years of GRIT.
