Take a restaurant which takes good Mexican food and good American food and puts them under one roof and you have The Grapevine Cafe. My friends and I visited this establishment which has a farm/country type of feel to it on a Monday morning and it was busy but not overly so. We were greeted by a friendly and energetic man named Gino at the door who promptly seated us. We noticed Gino's energy continued when greeting other patrons who entered as well as the others seated and apparently, this is his normal friendly manner.
The menu has various breakfast choices from traditional American food such as eggs, grits, biscuits and hash browns to eggs benedict, French Toast, Bananas Foster and Belgium Waffles to choices such as omelettes, oatmeal and granola. There are also various salads, sandwiches, burgers and Mexican food such as fajitas, enchiladas and tacos.
Once the food came, the Tacos Tejanos did not disappoint as the eggs, bacon, beans and cheese were all plentiful and cooked just right...as my friend said, "If I imagine what a 2lb taco looks like, this is it!" The pancakes were delicious and had just the right amount of sweetness to them. Everyone in our party enjoyed the food as well as the attentiveness of not only our waitress but of the other staff members who stopped by to check on us.
Of particular note, our food was delayed and Bea came to us and apologized saying she had forgotten to submit the order but that it was being made as we spoke. I give her credit for owning up to her mistake and appreciated her honesty...it said a lot about her and the establishment.
Overall, the experience was wonderful and I would highly recommend this place as a stop during your visit to The Island. You will not be disappointed.
There was no anti-gun signage on the door so my suggestion is keep it concealed and enjoy a delicious meal in peace.
