Fried chicken. It’s an American classic for a reason, with a history as interesting as that of the country itself. At Grins Restaurant, a locally owned establishment in San Marcos, TX, they know a thing or two about serving up quality fried chicken. Along with their great hamburgers, homemade onion rings, and delicious drinks, the team makes sure their patrons get fried chicken worthy of its long and storied history.

People have been frying all sorts of food for centuries, and Southerners weren’t the first people to realize how good chicken tastes when it’s fried. But they did find that this particular meal was especially well suited to life on a plantation. It was quick and efficient, and since it was common to raise chickens anyway in that type of environment, it simply made sense to embrace fried chicken as a popular meal.

As different regional styles blended together, people across the country began experimenting with different types of sauces and spices to create the perfect recipe. As a result, fried chicken became more than just an easy meal to feed the many people living on a plantation: It became a culinary classic. 

Grins Restaurant continues this tradition with their own menu. Patrons of this locally owned eatery can enjoy some traditional fried chicken strips or dig into a plate of Chicken Fried Chicken served in homemade gravy. Of course, that’s not all Grins Restaurant has to offer. The homemade onion rings can’t be missed, the happy hour always draws a crowd, and the service is unbeatable.

With outdoor seating available, Grins Restaurant is the perfect summer destination, and on top of that, they’re always happy to host your party. Locally owned in a major college town, Grins Restaurant is a great place to celebrate your graduation with family, friends, and of course, fried chicken.
