There are at least two formats with .grd/.gri extension. One is Golden Software grid - GDAL can easily handle it, so simply open it through Add Raster Layer, as Didier Blavet suggested.
But there is also DIVA-GIS grid format. I found a maillist entry saying that only DIVA-GIS can open it. So you have basically two options: you can get and install DIVA, open the data in it and save them in a different format. Or you can find the same data in a different format. For example, elevation data provided in DIVA grid format on DIVA website are the same as those on SRTM.

I have stumbled on this set of question and answers because I have been handed a data set from 2004 that has the 'grd extension. QGIS 2.14.4 has not been able to open them through the usual GDAL magic.
I was able to open them by changing the file extension to .csv and importing as a text layer and as a spreadsheet layer.
So I'm just adding to the the answers.

I'm working with mag data from the USGS right now and it came in this format. I was able to open the files with Geosoft Viewer and convert them to GeoTIFFs, there are some other formats that Geosoft Viewer can output if you have other requirements. I know qgis can open .ers files as well, that is an option for exporting.
Geosoft viewer is available at https://www.geosoft.com/products/geosoft-viewer. This is also discussed in a thread at http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/Geosoft-Grid-Files-td5278481.html. They suggest that .gxf may also be an option for exporting.
