I'm a US citizen. My granddad came from the UK. Is it true I can apply for British citizenship? If so how?

Is there an online form, do I have to get to the Britsh Embassay?I'm a US citizen. My granddad came from the UK. Is it true I can apply for British citizenship? If so how?
Anyone can apply, but it won't be automatic if that is your only claim to it. I'm from the US myself, but the UK citizenship requirements can be found at the Home Office web page. Even if you are born there it isn't automatic anymore. The entire EU has banned automatic birthright citizenship, at this point.

Unfortunately not anymore. It used to be the case that one British grandparent was enough to get you citizenship but now the rules have changed and you need to have one parent who is British.
