I only had their Grand Burger, but that was enough for me to go there over and over. When I was consulting down in Dallas, my roommate and I would go there at least once a week and always had their Grand Burger, which has a big ol' beef patty topped with grilled onions and mushrooms and their signature spicy sauce, served with fries on the side... a great meal for a very reasonable price! The owner who mans the grill as well is a very nice guy and likes to talk :) while his wife is sitting smoking away Shisha lol... sometimes his kids would be on the grill and help him out, very nice family owned business.

Oh so tasty every time I go there, Grand Cafe deserves an ode to its tabouli hummus alone! The setting is fairly dirty dingy but the food and awesomely sweet owner make up for it! I've been going here for 7 years and never had a bad experience. The Shish Tawook is my favorite with its perfectly cooked chicken skewers, garlic onions served over a bed of Mediterranean rice with hummus tabouli accompanying. Eddie the owner is one of the kindest (and most talkative people) you will ever meet. His family is often helping with cooking duties and seem to have it down pat. Eddie prides himself in his soup creation and loves watching you take your obligatory first sip. His garlic cream butter is out of this world just don't forget to ask for it. A little goes a very long way with this intense enhancer! They also have great sticky baklava! You can smoke a hookah while you wait on your food if you like or watch Lebanese news =DI wish the ambiance was more cozy and not in a strip shopping center but it still deserves merit for fabulous food, consistency and an owner who is diligent on providing these!

Excellent food and excellent service at reasonable prices. The strip mall location means parking can be a pain sometimes but it is worth it. Also, this place does get quite crowded at lunch so get there early or late and expect a little wait - they are fixing your food fresh right in front of you so leave your fast-food/drive-through wait time expectations at the door. The food makes it worthwhile. The menu is split between American and middle eastern entrees but they manage to excel at either, which is quite the surprise to the first timer. Highly recommended.

Amazing family owned restaurant. It's a Middle-Eastern food place. The food is great. You HAVE to try the Shish Tawook. The soup they serve as a starter is pretty unique. Never had that soup anywhere else.The owner is friendly and likes to talk a lot. Service is good and they take extra care to make sure you come back asking for more. If you are a hookah fan, you'll get to puff one here. I've been eating at this place for quite some time and will recommend it for sure!
