I wasn't impressed. The atmosphere is nice. The server was nice but the food was nothing worth returning for. The Cobb salad was sad looking, the Philly Cheese steak was salty and just mid. I walked in thinking that it was going to be much better. The person who accompanied me wasn't impressed with their meal either. The chips and queso was the best thing. With as nice and the staff are and as nice as the restaurant's vibe is I was just disappointed by the food...

The margaritas are so good now. I never wanted to go before bc the margaritas and wine were awful. New management has brought very good margaritas - don't know about the wine yet. Chicken fajita tacos were good. The burger is better than it used to be which was the only reason I would go there before. Super nice waitress who spoke highly of the new owner - says he's very community oriented. I like that. If you haven't been to Grin's in a while, try it again....

I stopped in for the first time after visiting San Marcos and can definitely say that I will be back! I had the chicken fried steak and it was delicious. The only drawback was that my roll was a little too toasted on the bottom but everything else I had was amazing! My friend got the catfish and she gave me one of her hush puppies (honestly, super good. I’m very picky about those) and she enjoyed it very much.
