Strong drinks and mouth watering wet burritos. Nothing fancy but a lot of fun! Currently, the outside serves drinks and food from a food truck. You must go inside to appreciate their meals.

My favorite breakfast/lunch place because of its unique menu and super fresh ingredients, but expect a wait since it's busy. If you go on your last morning in GH, please either check out first or allow plenty of time to eat so you can meet the 11:00 check out time!

Quality Thai food! (Speaking as someone who has spent a lot of time in SE Asia.) Located in a strip mall, it's nothing fancy and doesn't have a liquor license, but you will not be disappointed. Offers take-out.

Tasty sandwiches! Good for take-out, especially if you're at Odd Side and need something to munch on. The Green Goddess is my favorite with pesto and 3 cheeses with a side of tomato soup.
