Not sure exactly long, but over 30 years in business must mean they are serving great food at a great price. Specials everyday. Cindy Nachos are almost a meal themselves. Sure glad Grace has a daughter named Cindy, and not a son named Sven or Ole or Herman. Herman Nachos does not have a good ring to it. They also... More

Good real mexican style food, Not your typical fast food mexican or chain style food. Fresh home made salsas , etc. Second generation owner very friendly and fun. Bit lippy, just the way I like it.

Cramped, expensive, no beer or wine. They want me to write at least 100 characters so I'll keep writing until that happens.

Grace's has been around for decades. It's unassuming, the food is great, so is the price, and the portions are huge! It's not very large, so there is often a wait. This place has been a part of the community for SO LONG that when the owner announced her retirement, the community rose up in arms to ask her not... More

Sampled at the Steele County Fair: the food was tasty but I thought a little greasy. Husband agreed. However, based on the line waiting to be served, we might be off base. Again, very tasty.

This restaurant has the most amazing food and the homemade salsa.....many different types are wonderful. The Cindy Nachos are the best and they are famous county wide as they sell them at the Steele County Fair. I have never had anything there that I did not love. Their shredded beef taco salad is also wonderful. You gotta try it if... More

Took a couple of business associates to Grace's due to the rating & on the recommendation of a couple of locals. Wow. I'm a fan of many types of foods & can literally enjoy just about anything but this place seemed like some sort of weird cafeteria food. Bland main courses of indestiguishable food. Everything had ground hamburger meat on... More

All the people at Graces are friendly. Cindy tries to talk to everyone, no matter how busy they are, and food is always great. You need a big appetite to finish most meals, or try the Half meal specials. Great prices.

Local hot spot that makes authentic Mexican food. Cindy Nachos are very popular, a homemade tortilla chip with ground beef and cheese layered on top. Also serves hamburgers and grilled for the kids or those who just don't feel like Meixcan food. Only negative is that they are open only from Wednesday to Thursday.
