“Wow! This restaurant is a hidden gem of homemade goodness! The food was so good; I thought I was eating brown beans from my cousin’s house and cabbage from my MOTHER’S stove! I highly recommend this busy local lunch spot. [They have] great staff, service, and prices.” – E.L.

It is because of excellent reviews like this that Grider Field Restaurant is now able to call themselves a Top Rated Local award winner!

Not Your Average Restaurant

We were excited to learn all about Grider Field Restaurant and how they have gotten where they are today, so we sat down with the manager, Stan.

The first thing we wanted to know was what it is that makes Grider Field Restaurant stand apart from their competitors. Stan told us that they put out consistently fresh and delicious food, and that they have the best, home-cooked meals that are unique to the area. Their unique location also helps them to stand out — they are located inside a regional airport!

Building Success Through Word of Mouth

Grider Field Restaurant has built up quite an impressive reputation over their 10 years in business, so we were excited to talk with Stan about some of the ways they have marketed and grown in that time. He told us that they have really grown thanks to word of mouth, and that people will often go out of their way to stop and eat there. He said that maybe someday they will make a website. Many of the overwhelmingly positive reviews certainly refer to this spot as a ‘hidden gem.’

There are many businesses out there that are looking to build as impressive a reputation as Grider Field Restaurant has managed to. We asked if Stan could share any expert advice with these companies. Here’s what he had to say:

“[You need to have] great customer service, be friendly, and put out a consistently exceptional product.”


Congratulations to Grider Field Restaurant for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and special thanks to Stan for taking the time to speak with us!
