Yes, grass is good for rabbits. Grass and leaves are the diet of wild European Rabbits.
For pet rabbits, dried grass (hay) is better than fresh grass. (Pet rabbits were domesticated from the European Rabbit so they have the same dietary needs.) The reason hay is better that fresh grass is because fresh grass isn't high enough in fibre. Rabbits need lots of fibre to keep their teeth and digestion healthy. Wild rabbits get fibre from eating twigs, chewing through roots as they make their burrows, and eating tough weeds and wild plants. Because it's hard (or even impossible) to get enough of these foods for your pet bunny, the solution is to provide lots of hay. Fresh grass is fine as a treat for your bunny, but hay is an important part of the diet. Your bunny should eat at least its own size in hay every day; if she's not doing that, you should research ways to encourage her.
There are some risks with feeding fresh grass. Make sure you pick grass that isn't treated with pesticides or fertiliser, because you could poison your rabbit. Also, fresh grass could be contaminated with parasites (left behind by other animals, like dogs or racoons or any wild animals), so make sure you do regular health checks (at home and at the vet's).
