There are all kinds of treasures to be discovered here on the Gulf Coast and The Grape Escape Deli and Wine Cellar is certainly to be counted as one of them!
Not only will you find an interesting menu of fresh panini sandwiches, wraps and salads, but don’t be surprised to find gourmet coffees, teas and a full expresso bar! While you’re waiting on your food, browse their wine cellar… and again…don’t be surprised to discover a great selection of wines, all prices and with pairing recommendations to go with them!
For your next picnic, day at the beach, fishing trip or any outing, just call ahead and order box lunches to go! And don’t forget to include one of The Grape Escapes absolutely divine homemade cookies, muffins and cakes for desert!
Like all good treasures, The Grape Escape Deli and Wine Cellar is a bit off the beaten path. Look for it on the beach road in Orange Beach next to Winn Dixie in front of Fairfield Inn.
The motto at The Grape Escapes Deli and Wine Cellar is “You Deserve Quality”…so don’t be surprised when you get it!

It doesn’t happen often, but every once in a while, there’s somebody in the group that doesn’t care for seafood, so does that mean that the entire group has to sacrifice? Not at Palms Bar and Grille!
Palms Bar and Grille’s atmosphere combines casual and hip… great art work, cool bar, and I particularly liked the colors, including the tomato red walls and the black ceiling with splashes of color here and there. I also thought having the kitchen open for viewing thru the big glass window was especially interesting. I liked seeing the attention to detail that my meal was receiving!
At Palms Bar and Grille, you will certainly find all the fresh seafood that you desire, or you can choose from the “Meals around the World” section, including duck, veal, lamb, pork, and more, but the crowning glory of Palms Bar and Grille has to be their steaks! I went to dinner intending to have seafood, but when I heard the care and preparation and pride that Palms takes in their beef selection, I just had to see what it was all about. I can tell you that I’ve not had a finer steak at any so-called “steakhouse”…grilled to perfection. If you like, top your steak with one of the delicious sauces, Creamy Bleu or Oscar Style (crabmeat! YUM!). The list of toppings itself is mouthwatering. Add the baby baked potatoes and fresh veggies and what more can you ask for?
Palms Bar and Grille offers a moderate but well-rounded wine list to go with their full bar. For desert, we had to try the Crème Brulee, made in house with real vanilla beans…wonderful! I can’t forget to mention the fresh salads, burgers and even a kids menu. Our waitress had the talent and personality to make us feel like we were the only ones she was working with, when in fact, she had several other tables that probably felt the same way! That’s good service!
When you have two or more people together trying to decide where to go eat…you’ll likely have two or more opinions…Try Palms Bar and Grille…you’ll find something to make everyone in your group very happy!
