About this restaurant

Great for creative cocktails
Hot spot
Great for happy hour

Agave and Rye Grandview delivers a chef-inspired take on the standard taco, elevating this simple food into something EPIC! Our kitchens are scratch, and even the juice for our epic margaritas is squeezed in-house daily.

The decor is beyond visionary, and you will see we are not your typical restaurant. Yavonne Sarber designed all 23 of her restaurants, with the Grandview, Agave and Rye being the largest in the company. We like to call her "The Crown Jewel"
Located on Beautiful Grandview Avenue as the anchor space a part of the Historic Bank Block and is listed on the National Register.
Additionally, one of Epic Brands other concepts is located right next door. Check out our Loco Social for a scratch brunch or lunch, coffee of Bubble tea.

Good and drinks were good when they finally came. Interesting and inventive takes on tacos. But it took almost 25 minutes to see a waitress, and that only happened when we finally found one and asked.

Far exceeded my expectations as far as the ambience, drinks, and some food were concerned. However, parts of the food or just OK. The server was not that great. For example, the ghost pepper, salsa, and queso, and chips, were fantastic! My margaritas, were even more amazing! My taco, however, was the “the bees knees“ was the name of it in the menu, but I wouldn’t call it the bees knees. It was mediocre. The server was not top-notch. I’m not sure that she’ll make it there. But I would definitely return and hope for an even better experience! This experience wasn’t bad, it was just… “Vanilla“.

Food was really good. Wish you guys would bring back your chorizo for the queso. Queso is still really good though. Chunky salsa is the best, so juicy and tasty. Got the plain Jane’s and a gangsta. Both amazing tacos.
