having a bite

Grabbing quick food

Having a bite means eating a small amount of food, typically a quick snack or light meal rather than a full sit-down dinner: Let's grab a bite before the movie.

The phrase suggests casualness and convenience—you're not making an occasion of it, just satisfying hunger briefly.
