ABOUT EXCLUSIVE GRUBS
An oval logo featuring a cartoon Black female chef with curly hair, wearing a white chef's coat with purple accents, a chef's hat, and gold earrings, waving with her right hand. The text reads "Exclusive Grubs" in ornate lettering, with a purple heart below, and phrases "Real Soul Food from My Kitchen to Yours" and "Mary".

Exclusive Grubs is a soul food catering business built around flavor first. Every pot is cooked the long way layered seasoning, fresh vegetables and slow simmering so the food tastes like it came from someone's kitchen, because it did.

Alongside the classics, we keep healthier options on the menu, including a fully vegetarian gumbo, so everyone at the table gets something they're glad to eat.

SOUL FOOD WITH HEALTHY OPTIONS

Comfort you can
feel good about

A bowl of rice topped with sliced sausage, greens, and spices, surrounded by cupcakes, a small cupcake with green frosting, and a glass of beverage, with a spoon on a dark cloth.

Soul food should taste like celebration. Ours starts with greens, vegetables and herbs, then gets the seasoning and patience that make it worth going back for seconds.
