It definitely seems like they just put a bunch of foam on top but it still tasted good. The waffle is also crispy and fluffy. The salon lox bagel is also so pretty but the large onion slices were too much. Service was great and they do get really busy.

During a quick weekend getaway to South Padre Island, I treated myself to brunch at Yummies Bistro…read moreafter seeing all the raving reviews online and it did live up to the hype. I arrived around 10:30am on a Friday, and although the restaurant was packed, was seated immediately at the bar. Our server greeted me promptly, took my drink order, and returned with my Spanish Macchiato. It was easily the highlight of the meal--absolutely five-star worthy. Not only was it Instagram-worthy, but it tasted just as good as it looked. Creamy, rich, and infused with notes of Mexican chocolate and cinnamon, it was one of the best specialty coffees I've had in a while and the artistry was incredible. For brunch, I ordered the CLEO (a lox bagel with egg) and the SPI Breakfast Platter. The CLEO had great flavors--the smoked salmon was fresh. My biggest critique was that the soft bagel, warm egg, and lox lacked a bit of textural contrast. Even so, the individual components were delicious. The SPI Breakfast Platter was hearty, well-executed, and exactly what you'd hope for from a classic breakfast. I'd love to come back the next time I'm in South Padre and try their lunch menu, the dessert case was very enticing.

The barbacoa was tender, flavorful, and well seasoned, while the poached eggs were cooked just right. The waffle and the rest of the meal were perfectly fine--nothing particularly memorable, but nothing to complain about either. My only real disappointment was the iced coffee. It was overwhelmingly sweet and lacked the coffee flavor I was hoping for. Overall, it was a pleasant breakfast experience, and I'd gladly give Josephine's Kitchen another visit the next time I'm in town. There were other menu items that caught my eye, and I'd love to see how they compare.

I got the gluten free pancakes were not that good (according to my gluten free friend) they were kinda hard and not fluffy. But they had goat cheese and I love goat cheese so it made up for it.

I loved the booth we sat in.

The atmosphere was fantastic, especially with the ocean breeze coming through. We ordered the steamed mussels, the grilled red snapper sandwich, and the grilled red snapper entrée. Our favorite dish was the red snapper sandwich. It tasted fresh and had more of a homestyle feel rather than something overly polished from a professional kitchen, which we really appreciated. Honestly, everything tasted fresh, comforting, and well prepared. The service was also incredible throughout the night. The only slight issue we had was spotting a cockroach crawl from under one of the chairs when we pulled it out. However, considering the restaurant is basically right on the beach and outdoors, insects are somewhat expected, and it honestly didn't take away from the experience for us. Overall, great atmosphere, great food, and a really enjoyable dinner spot in South Padre.

The girl in the front ignored us and other guest as we walked up to ask for a table, and instead she just texted on her phone. I don't think she even really spoke English (which is fine, I speak Spanish too) but she didn't even try to communicate or greet us. She just pointed us to tables under the cabana where we walked to and got sent back. Guest after guest after us was also confused. Menu looked great but the food and service was mid at best.

The order took 25 minutes because the kitchen was so busy. While waiting, I observed several locals coming in to eat, being greeted by the family who owns the restaurant. That was a good sign that the wait was worth it. The food was great, even on the road. Tortillas were perfect, not too heavy, but held the ingredients well. We opted for a few small tacos and a few large. Small is still BIG!! Barbacoa was delicious. The cheese used was more Velvetta like, but still not overwhelming or too rich. We will be back, hopefully to sit down and eat there.

If you find yourself anywhere near South Padre Island, do yourself a favor and order the shrimp…read morescampi at The Grouchy Gringo. It is nothing short of outstanding. The shrimp are perfectly cooked--tender, plump, and buttery--so fresh they practically melt with each bite. The garlic-infused sauce is rich without being heavy, coating the pasta in a silky finish that brings everything together beautifully. But what truly elevates this dish are the tomatoes. They are delightfully sweet, bright, and bursting with flavor, adding a fresh, vibrant contrast to the savory scampi. Every forkful strikes that perfect balance of citrusy zest, garlic warmth, and natural sweetness. The Grouchy Gringo may have a playful name, but there's nothing grouchy about this plate. It's the kind of dish that makes you slow down, savor each bite, and already plan your next visit before you've even finished. Absolutely five-star worthy.
