Shrimp and Grits at Poppy & Rose: Southern Comfort in LA’s Fashion District

As someone from the South, finding shrimp and grits that truly hits the mark in Los Angeles can be a challenge. But at Poppy & Rose, nestled right in the heart of the bustling Fashion District, I found a little slice of home.

The dish was nothing short of spectacular—perfectly cooked, spiced shrimp paired with creamy, flavorful grits. The standout element? A beautifully fried egg, split open to let the golden yolk seep into the dish, adding richness that tied everything together. The blend of textures and flavors was unforgettable: the creaminess of the grits, the slight crunch of the shrimp, and the indulgence of the yolk created a harmony that felt like a soulful symphony on a plate.

The ambiance at Poppy & Rose enhanced the experience. The space is cozy yet modern, striking the perfect balance between Southern comfort and urban chic. It’s an ideal spot to enjoy a hearty, soulful meal while soaking in the lively energy of Los Angeles.

Whether you’re a Southerner looking for a taste of home or simply a foodie in search of your next great meal, Poppy & Rose is a must-visit.

Make sure to try their shrimp and grits—it’s a true gem in the city!
