Have/get/grab

I would like to know the difference in the meaning among three sentences.

1. Let's have something to eat.
2. Let's get something to eat.
3. Let's grab a bite to eat.

They are more or less same. The second sentence differs in the intention of the speaker. 'Get' implies activity.

The 2nd and 3rd suggest eating out or getting a takeaway rather than preparing food (which is an option with number one).

'grab' especially implies a very speedy/informal meal.
