Grins Restaurant Reviews
Decent food but they do charge a credit card junk fee. I just deduct those fees right off my base tip as the use of a credit card is a cost of doing business and should be already included in menu prices. And believe me their prices are high enough to already include credit card cost. So no sweat off my back.
Waitress was super friendly and I liked the atmosphere BUT as far as the food . Chicken fried chicken was very bleh . I figured it was home made and it had the feel of a frozen chicken fried steak that was just put in an air fryer . Chicken fried steak was even worse, zero flavor. Mashed potatoes were also flavorless. Ranch was watery so I’m guessing it was home made .. Mac and cheese tasted like Mac and cheese in a box. We also tried potato skins which also lacked flavor but...read full review

Grins Restaurant offers a casual, country-like atmosphere with friendly staff. The onion rings are a standout, described as huge and delicious. The burgers and fish tacos are considered okay, though the meals match the pictures. Customers have enjoyed the $0.99 margaritas, with recent reviews highlighting their significant improvement under new management. One visitor mentioned that the chicken fajita tacos were good, and another praised the chicken fried steak as delicious, despite a minor issue with a toasted roll. The restaurant now features a comfortable setting that is clean and well-maintained, though some guests noted that the patio could use a good cleaning. Visitors have praised the quick service, especially when accommodating large parties, and no glass was left empty during lunch. Overall, Grins remains a favorite spot for locals and visitors alike, with the new owner being community-oriented and dedicated to enhancing the dining experience.
