"Outstanding Restaurant" 2007 James Beard Foundation Awards

You've never stepped into a grill so energetic, so on the edge... so on the frontier... as Frontera Grill. Frontera swings casual, like an American grill. But it also rollicks with a vibrant, boisterous, Mexican rhythm. Its walls radiate sun-baked colors. The paintings and sculptures leap to your eyes and make you laugh. Together they invite you to an ever-young fiesta. And the food? Frontera Grill uses beautiful ingredients, often organic and custom-grown, to bring to you the bold flavors and immediate freshness that jump off the tongue just as it does in Mexico.

Partial List of local suppliers: City Farm, Crawford Farm, Gunthorp Farm, Hidden Falls, Little Farm on the Prairie, Pleasant Meadows Farm, Prairie Fruits Farm, Rushing Waters, Bayless Family Production Garden, Spence Farm, The Stewards of the Land, Three Sisters Garden, Snug Haven Farm.
