The Grocery sits at 4 Cannon Street in Cannonborough-Elliotborough, describing itself as a neighborhood gathering place drawing on ingredients from local farmers, fishermen, foragers, and artisans. Chef Kevin Johnson runs the kitchen.
The menu favors small plates and dishes meant for sharing, an approach the restaurant itself frames as "an experience to share." Roasted broccoli, tile fish, trigger fish, and pork are among the dishes reviewers mention seeking out, and brunch has built its own following.
Johnson has been named a James Beard Foundation Best Chef semifinalist six times — in 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020.
