The restaurant is located inside a gated community. Outside visitors are welcome during business hours. I was hoping to find something a bit more endearing than what I ended up with. First off, all bets are off if you cannot get eggs prepared correctly in a breakfast establishment. Im weirded out by running yolks, and the eggs were ordered over hard. The hash browns leave much to be desired. Patrons can do better at Josephine’s or Isabella’s Cafe if you prefer a local dive. El Jefe’s has more character and great breakfast pork chops. Signature Grill likely has a lock on the local gated community for ease of drawing in patrons of the golf course; hence, the restaurant need not compete, innovate, or grow in the same way other establishments would in the main community. The coffee was good, bacon was good, and I appreciated that beans were on the menu; however, they were bland. The entire meal reeked of bland. Chicken and waffles anyone? Sorry. So, I will not judge the restaurant entirely on this sole experience and will return to try a different plate before rendering final judgement. Wait staff was adequate and not overly friendly. The moment runny eggs were visible to proper waitstaff, this should have set off corrective actions for sake of customer satisfaction. Anytime there’s large remnants of food on a plate should trigger, “how was everything?” None of that. I did not complain and was appreciative of the restaurant. This review will be the guide for future or existing patrons. The surrounding patrons were mostly retired folks in the gated golf community that had a whiff of belligerence in their rather loud conversations… I’ll hold out further judgement until I return. Until then, readers might find better options in Port Isabel proper or even better, scenic, options on South Padre Island here in the off season.

Great food; great prices; convenient when visiting the gated community of Long Island Village. Centrally located near the golf course, rec hall, pro shop, activity center, and pools. Usually open only for delicious breakfast and lunch, Wednesday thru Sunday, 8:00 am to 2 pm, but currently having a Friday evening pizza, pasta, & salad buffet, from 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm on Fridays (Aug 2024. Call to confirm as schedule may change.) Clean, friendly, and relaxed atmosphere. Family owned and operated.

This is a great family run restaurant in Long Island Village. I enjoyed my breakfast here and would eat here again. The pancakes were my favorite. To get here, you need to go through a security gate. Let them know you see going to eat at the signature grill and they will let you in. However, getting here is half the fun. You need to cross over a moving bridge to get here. If you are lucky enough, you’ll be first in line.

Food was good, fast, and priced right. Do yourself a favor and get the salsa verde with breakfast. It’s not very spicy and it has great flavor. Nothing to complain about here.

We purchased the Nachos Supreme and the Fajita Nachos. They had lots of toppings and were very good.

Excellent food. The price is great as well knowing you are on a private island. We had the migas and also a western omelette. Both were great

Love the breakfasts. Ate there multiple times and was never disappointed. Had several different things that were all great. Only wish we could eat there more! And you can’t beat the prices!

I would rate this place 10 stars if I could. This place has amazing food and you can’t beat the prices. My youngest is an extremely picky eater but she devoured her food. It is inside a gated community so it is a little bit of a pain to get in but so worth it. The owner/ cook makes the best food and is willing to go off menu to make things that people enjoy. Whether you live in the area or you’re here on vacation you have to visit this place. They are only open for breakfast and lunch so plan accordingly. You won’t want to miss a chance to eat here. (The huevos rancheros are the best I have ever eaten.)
****UPDATE****
Our last day in the area we went for lunch. I have no words that could possibly do justice in a description. There was not 1 dish out of 4 meals that we were disappointed with. Everything was absolutely amazing. I’m not a picky eater but I am very much an opinionated critic of food. I have absolutely zero complaints. This place is family owned and run. They are super nice and friendly. I can’t emphasize enough how absolutely delicious the food was. With 6 of us we are used to large food bills at The Signature Grill we were not only happy with the food we were also pleased with the price. This is a must try place!!!! This small business deserves the support. AMAZING PLACE!!!!
