    Coconut cream pie.
    Tranissa B.

    The service and food was outstanding! We were driving by and they were the only restaurant open after the snow storm so we decided to try it. They did not disappoint. I ordered the Caesar salad, southwestern shrimp soup of the day, and fries. Hubs had the fried pork chop special w/ premium salad and loaded mashed potatoes. Everything was so delicious the portions were great the staff was knowledgeable and super friendly and attentive. Do yourself a favor and don't leave with out the coconut cream pie and peach cobbler it's better than Grandmas.

    Not a medium steak.

    The Grape Taste presents itself as a minimalist concept, but in practice it feels like a restaurant…read moretrying to be several identities at once. The menu is intentionally restrained in structure, yet broad in direction cheese trays. unexpected, almost out of place for a small establishment, tapas as a newer addition, a strong emphasis on wine with a sweet wine flight, alongside steaks, sides, pastas, and even burgers. There's ambition in the variety, though not always cohesion. Seafood leans heavily on tilapia, which appears disproportionately across the fish selection. Not inherently negative, but noticeable. The ribeye, priced at $33.95, carried mixed execution. tender in parts, but inconsistent with noticeable dry sections. The scallops arrived cold, which significantly disrupted what should have been a highlight dish. Service was not the issue. Atmosphere was calm, controlled, and easy to sit in without distraction. The space itself does not fight the experience. it simply holds it. In totality, the restaurant lands in an uneven space: capable, sometimes enjoyable, but inconsistent in execution where it matters most. 4/5. good, but not well. -L.T

Wine menu is great. My husband and I had some drinks and shared some tapas. There are great choices of cheese for the cheese board. The stuffed avocado was tasty. The fried green tomatoes were delicious. This will be a go to spot!

    We were visiting some friends here from out of town and came out here on their recommendation…read more It is your standard Tex-Mex space. There is a wrap around bar in the center with two dining rooms on bith sides and a patio. I started off with a cucumber margarita and my wife and daughter got a jumbo classic Rita and strawberry lemonade. Our friends ordered some queso for the whole table. The menu is vast and went to my go to with the fajitas Mexicana. These were different in that they came with a load of poblanos and onions. There is no price on the menu, all it says is mkt. I asked what the price was and she indicated it was $25 for 1. Now I don't have problem paying for this but when you send out beef and try to pass it off as skirt steak and charge a premium for it you are cheating the guest! What they sent out was not skirt steak, it was sliced wafer thin to appear you are getting alot. What I did get was an overload of peppers and onions. I also had to ask for the chicken soup that came with the dinner. Service was OK. I can't speak on the other menu items but can tell you that my wife enjoyed her quesadillas and our daughter said her birria tacos were so-so. Overall probably won't be back.

    Great place, i felt like i was in ge Rio Grande Valley while dining here. The food is excellent,…read morejust a master class in texmex cuisine. Service is super attentive and responsive. The restaurant is clean, the bathroom is clean! I definitely suggest a visit when in Lake Jackson
