Welcome Home. Welcome to Grace. Our Mission
Grace is founded on the importance of valuing employees and customers as if they are family. We believe this makes a difference in our culture and sets us apart.
Our greatest gift is creating food that is unique and community-building. Food that is meant to bring you back to a time when things were a little simpler and less pretentious. Food that reminds you of a loved one in your family or where you grew up. We believe food is best shared with friends in an environment where people feel affirmed, loved, and valued.
At Grace, we hope our guests enter and leave feeling valued, important, and satisfied not just because they had delicious food or great service, but because they experienced one of the greatest gifts, the gift of fellowship.
