Is it okay for me to say:

This is a good food place. Or does it have to be:

This place is good for food.

Is the first one ungrammatical?

Thanks.

No. An informal expression could be:
This place really hits the spot for great food!

But I've heard it used by native speakers before. This area is a good food spot.

You'll hear all sorts of things from some native speakers at times. This does not mean that they are natural for most of us.
