Description: Established in 1999, Grapevine Café’s original owners created a simple restaurant offering breakfast and lunch favorites from traditional Mexican and American recipes. Under new ownership since 2006, the Grapevine Café has grown considerably in concurrence with the beautiful and surrounding city of South Padre Island, Texas. In many ways, we are still that casual eatery that serves delicious, simple and affordable food. Today, our menu boasts a greater variety of choices. We have added healthier menu items that are vegetarian and gluten free. We also offer a full line of gourmet, freshly ground coffee drinks and teas from our popular espresso bar. We take great pride in serving food that is made in-house, fresh and daily from proprietary, authentic recipes.

The grapevine cafe! God it was the best service & amazingly delicious lunch. They have the best waitresses. I met all of them at the moment. Sandra asked if I needed a refill, Bea asked me if I needed anything else & Dora I believe the manager asked if my meal was good. I honestly can say these waitresses are... More

My husband and I went for breakfast here this past saturday. It all seemed really good at first, our drinks were taken care of by a young man right away and he told us that our waitress would be right with us. Once the waitress (young woman around her 20s, chubby) came, she asked if we were ready and we... More

Service was fast and friendly! If you want great service, ask for Chris :) This by far is the best breakfast and lunch restaurant. Highly recommend. We've lived at the island for awhile and we finally stopped by. Thought it would be expensive, but was really budget friendly. Had their signature enchiladas and their two egg breakfast with spinach and... More

I had the Eggs Benedict Florentine and they were awful. I was very close to sending it back. My husband had a breakfast burrito which he liked. The coffee was tepid and tasted old and dirty. We only went here because Yummy's is closed on Tuesday. I regret giving it a try. The atmosphere is basic and not at all... More

The Grapevine is a great place for everyone....locals and visitors! It has great food, wonderful service and it's very reasonable in price. But the service may be the best anywhere! And Dora is the best!!!

This place didn't have the best reviews on yelp, but we found ourselves returning here our second day in town for the sweet service and good coffee. They've got a standard breakfast menu (including delicious pancakes) and the usual texmex lunch options. The waitstaff was incredibly sweet and patient with us while we took our time to order--we like to... More

Thank you for taking the time to write the review and the straight forward honesty is great. I regret that we didn't live up to our reputation that early Sunday morning. Over the past three years we have experienced steady growth. As you can imagine, the demands of a growing business can sometimes outpace the ability to adjust. Presently, we... More

We tried Grapevine 3 times. The service was slow the first two times, and the food was just ok. The third time we went, the service was as bad as I have experienced on the island. I kept trying it because it is highly rated on Trip Advisor and I felt that I had caught them on a bad day.... More

Thank you for taking the time to write the review. I do appreciate the candid honesty. I am sorry that we missed the opportunity to give you our normally great service and food.
