My husband and I ate here with a couple friends. The food tasted real good and we all enjoyed ourselves. Only downside for us was that we had to order two of the large platters since one wasn’t enough food for 4 people. Other than that, great place for bbq.

Service was great only reason we didn’t say anything. But I have really liked this place for many years. We drove 1 1/2 yesterday excited to have lunch here. Broccoli and cheese soup was mushy and seemed old. Burgers were not cooked well and cold. Very disappointing and will not come back again.

Inexpensive good American diet. Country fried steak was great. 99cent margheritas 3 to 6 everyday! Like the Texas vibe and the 70s 80s background music.

The restaurant itself is really pretty, and the service was great. The food though was not very good; I would not recommend this place to anyone that wants good food. They need a new chef.

I've been going to Grins since 1979. It has always been a great place. Great for casual dining on the patio. Wonderful atmosphere. It's been run by the same two guys this whole time.Get the #3 burger and nachomoles.

The menu was really good we went on St. Patrick’s Day. We got a super green margarita nachos for appetizer and a black and blue burger to share and a kids grilled cheese meal .It was very reasonably priced and the food was great. My only complaint is our server was not very informative or helpful. We asked for any non-soda options for my son and she said there wasn’t any. she never brought us utensils. We asked another server for utensils and refills and we asked her if they had any juice options and come to find out, they sure didI could tell it was just an off day for our server but all the other servers were very helpful and sweet.

Had to ask multiple times for more salsa for the endless chips and salsa. Was wtg on the salsa to eat with my fajitas as well and had to remind her twice so the food was getting cold while wtg. Staff is not knowledgeable about the menu either. Fajitas say gluten free on the menu but they came out with flour tortillas. I asked her for corn tortillas and she said they don't have any. I had to tell her it says there are corn tortillas online so then she checked.
