Great restaurant to eat. Excellent choices on there menu. Me and my family and friends never been disappointed. Staff and owner are very friendly. I live 1hr away from the Grapevine Grill I try to go at least once a month. I wish it was closer I would be there more often. read more

This place was recommended by a couple sitting next to me in another restaurant one evening. I popped in on Sunday afternoon and found plenty of room at the bar. I started with a avgolemono soup which turned out to be a big disappointment it was overly salted, seemed to not have the customary pureed rice in the broth although there was a lot of whole rice but there was a marked lack overall of lemon flavor. I have never seen carrots or celery in a Greek chicken lemon soup but there was plenty of chicken. Next came the 21 Cheeseburger, American cheese, sauteed onions, mushroom on a hard roll with a side of coleslaw. The burger was cooked perfectly had great flavor and the roll was outstanding. The coleslaw was very good as well. Service was fine except toward the end when I wanted the check. The lady behind the bar had her back turned and was on her phone for a considerable period of time so I had to walk around the bar to get her attention. This place is okay but I wouldn't go out of my way to return. read more

Food was average and quite bland. Appetizer portions were huge. Service was quick although the restaurant was busy!

We ordered two dishes from the catering menu for New Year's Eve. The food was excellent. Every party goer raved about the sirloin tips Marsala. Would definitely order from the catering menu again. The young girl behind the counter was clueless, but the cook came out and sorted everything out. It appeared that he was proud of what he had prepared and thus made me happy after the clueless girl didn't appear to know what was going on. Overall, it was a positive experience and I recommend using the Grapevine for catering needs. Prices are reasonable too (after looking around at other options). Thank you Grapevjne for the great food! read more

We live close-by and usually don't go here on a weekend evening because the parking lot is packed and we hate waiting. But tonight we went in at rush hour and were very pleasantly surprised. Fast fast fast efficient service and good food read more

Excellent food as always! I had the Shrimp Caprese Scampi luncheon portion! We also shared Calamari and Stuffed Mushrooms which was also delicious! Great to see you Irene! read more

This place was a pleasant surprise! I drive by it twice a day and have never given it a second thought, other than to bring it up when we bemoan the short list of dining options available in Belchertown... "...and there's that place on 21..." but "that place on 21" turned out to be much better than I had imagined, and I'm sorry that we didn't give it a try before last night. It doesn't have much curb appeal, and this was yet another reminder not to judge a book by its cover or a restaurant by its exterior. The outside is bland and the interior is slightly dated/kitschy, but not overly so and not in that jarring and disturbing way that can be the case with, say, plaster busts, fluted columns and fake ivy. In Grapevine Grille's case, it was just a matter of mid-range decor and several surfaces looking like they perhaps had been coated with that texture spray paint stuff that was all the rage in the early 90's...you know, the one gives the look of faux stone and showed up on everything from planters to vases to lamp bases? This may have been left over from the building's former life as a night club, as were, I'm guessing, the neon light tubes that were still visible in the lining of the tray ceiling. They weren't turned on, but I'm guessing they're some fabulous shade of blue or hot pink! Honestly, everything was clean, comfortable and in good repair. The booths were padded and roomy, and the fountain that greets you reminded me of something that you might find in a themed polynesian restaurant...I've seen WAY worse. And the whole place has a nice, airy feeling...with high ceilings, a surprising amount of natural light, and an openness that is definitely not apparent from the outside. There were several large parties (graduation and other), but it never felt loud or echo-y, and there seemed to be plenty of floor space to allow for big groups without getting cramped or crowded, or making the small-table diners feel like they're intruding on someone's private gathering. Very good example of how to do this right. The hostesses and servers were very pleasant and efficient, and the food was solid. We shared a crock of really nice French onion soup, followed by a small specialty pizza (the "Colossus," a white pizza with artichoke hearts, roasted red peppers and garlic) and a gyro platter (meaning that it comes with a salad and fries). The side salad was great, with lots of feta and olives, and homemade Greek dressing. After our salad and soup were cleared, our server brought us a basket of garlic bread to dip in the bottle of seasoned olive oil that lives on the table with the salt and pepper. We poured some onto our bread plates, but noticed that the seasoning, for the most part, stayed in the bottom of the bottle. It mostly just tasted like olive oil rather than a true dipping oil, and actually it was a bit overkill given that the bread was already oily and seasoned. I think I would have preferred a more heavily seasoned/spiced oil and just plain warm bread? The pizza, however, had a really nice flavor and was perfectly prepared. It is a pan style, which I hadn't been expecting...and usually I'm a thin-crust girl...but it was tasty and not greasy like some pan pizzas can be. The gyro was decent...good flavors, but I think next time I would ask for a side of tzatziki because I found myself wanting more. Oh, and...not that it pertains to us, but...there's an inexpensive kids' menu "for kids of all ages," which I thought was a nice touch. This is not fancy food, but all was well seasoned and thoughtfully prepared...and we'll definitely be back. I can see this being our close-to-home default for both eating in and taking out when we don't want to cook, and I'm looking forward to sampling more of the menu. read more

I wish there was a four-and-a-half stars - because that's how I'd really like to rate the Grapevine. This is my absolute go-to in Belchertown. Pros: The service is tops. Friendly, never stiff or stuffy. If anything they are overly-casual and more like friends than servers. It's usually busy, but I can count on one hand the amount of times I've tapped my fingers waiting. And I've been coming here for 5 years. The Menu: LOTS of choices. Their pizza is definitely a cut above in quality and flavor, but this is as close to "fine dining" as you get in B'Town. Seafood & Pasta dishes are all very good. And their specials are usually very interesting. Portions: Come hungry. You don't get cheated. My girlfriend and I usually order an appetizer and two entrees. And always end up with a box to go. Prices are probably considered a little higher than other places in town, but only when you consider that this restaurant is in Belchertown. For similar quality in Northampton or Amherst you'd be paying more and getting less. Cons: Parking: The lot, when full, is tight. The spaces are close together and the back lot is a bit of a free-for-all. So we try to get there early when possible. Or call ahead. Steaks: While good, they aren't high-end steakhouse quality. The prices are right in line with the cuts, but just keep that in mind that when you aren't spending $50 on a steak, you aren't getting one. Go for the sirloin tips which are just fine, or even better the ribs...ooooohhhh... those are great! My overall take is that this is clearly the best restaurant in town for a slightly more upscale evening than you'll get from McCarthy's, Antonio's, etc. Those places all have their strengths too - but Grapevine is Belchertown's best spot for a nice romantic dinner, a family outing, or just cozying up to the bar for a burger and beer. read more

Grapevine Grill is a solid three star dining establishment in the boring town of Belchertown, Mass. They've been serving Italian/Greek food since 1995. I've been here a few times and have never been overly impressed with the food, service, or decor of the restaurant. I stopped in last night for dinner and was greeted by a broken pond with no water enclosed in a big rock structure. The place was busy for a Friday night because there isn't many choices in Belchertown. We were seated right away and greeted by our waitress. She took our drink orders and didn't return for ten minutes. Service was spotty throughout the dinner. The food was very average and overpriced with specials running in the $20-24 range. I ordered the Athenian gyro pizza. It was decent, but wasn't memorable. What struck me as funny was the Easter basket-like shredded grass/lettuce the mozzarella sticks were placed on. The blackened scallops were placed on wilted spring mix greens. The chefs need a lesson in proper plating and making things look somewhat appealing. They have a big bar with a separate dining room. The interior is dated, but seemed fitting for the local mountain people who were dining there. Overall, a very average place with a big local presence. It's not a dining destination, but a place to go when visiting your hillbilly relatives. read more

My family loves this restaurant. It's our "go-to" whenever we need a local night out. The waitstaff knows our order before we even make it! They also have AMAZING holiday buffets for Mother's Day, Easter, and Thanksgiving. Definitely give it a try. read more

We found this place while in town for a volleyball game. We were suprised by the speed of the service, quality of food, and the size of portions. It is a smaller family style location which is refreshing in this era of large company restaurants. read more

This place is disgusting. I cannot imagine how it has any good reviews. My boyfriends mother recommended this place and boy did we regret it. Fried clams *strips* are pure oily breading piled up tall on the plate it was way too much, I had to ask for tartar sauce which was also just gross. My boyfriend had a chicken Cesar salad and even that wasn't good. The chicken was dry burnt black and somehow the salad tasted off. Gross amount of dressing piled on top too. We have never returned. read more

Great food!! The waitress was incredible, she handled so many orders at one time, and got them all right. Highly recommended! read more

I was on my way home from work , and had 25 mins. Before closing and they held the store open till I made so I could get my food. And the food is always fresh and great. Couldn't be more pleased. Thank you GrapeVine read more

Applebee's meets the Olive Garden! Burgers, steak, pasta, grinders, pizza. Has a bar with televisions. Service is friendly and very efficient. Large portions. I ordered the Chicken Broccoli Alfredo and it was Olive Garden quality. Prices are about the same as well. read more

Don't let the stars fool you. The food was terrible. We actually couldn't eat it and felt really bad sending it back. I have them at 3 stars because they really cared. They gave us a gift card to come give them another chance. Very friendly and understanding. Plus side the Vodka tastes like Vodka. read more

I've been trying all the pizza in Belchertown lately, and while this place didn't supply my favorite slice in town, it also certainly didn't supply my least favorite, either. When I go again I will definitely skip the pizza and go straight for a pasta dish or a Greek salad. read more

This place is awful ordered the pizza thought they were Italian so thought it was going to be good but it was garbage. Ordered the food through my home phone complained about how bad it was and later realized they blocked my house number read more

Really enjoyed our meal here. The decor is pretty funky and not expected in the middle of nowhere in Belchertown. Food was good, too. Kind of a faux fancy place but I like it. read more

This place looks like it hasn't been updated since 1982. There's a weird non-working fountain in the entrance. On each table there is a bottle of olive oil with a 2 inch layer of clay or sediment or who knows what in the bottom of the bottle. The dining room needs a good deep cleaning. It makes me wonder if the kitchen is sanitary. The service is good, but the food is just average. The prices are way too high for the type of cuisine they serve. I left feeling ripped off. I will not be returning. read more

***** EDIT: Irene M., your response actually makes me even more disgusted than I was before. Yes, it's true, ingredients such as clams do vary in quality and that can affect the product you serve to your customers. But you don't use that as an excuse for fobbing the inferior product off on your customers at full price! You -check- the quality of the ingredients you're purchasing, use only consistent suppliers, and taste the food that you're preparing to be sure it's acceptable! Also, you can't use your policy of not refunding customers as an excuse for not deducting an inedible meal from the bill. Waive your stupid policy in these circumstances. You say that you care very much that your customers have an excellent experience, but in the same breath you say that you purposely put up artificial impediments to ensuring that. I take my family out to dine at least twice a week, more often three or more times. I could literally put my car in neutral and coast down the hill from my driveway to your parking lot. Until that day your restaurant was our go-to place because of the convenience, but we haven't been back a single time in the year or so since then. Grapevine Grille doesn't even come to mind anymore. So you got the $12 out of me that day by insisting on billing me for an inedible meal, but you lost many hundreds of dollars of our patronage since then, all of which went to your competitors and continues to. Congratulations on that brilliant business decision, Irene. END EDIT ***** I've been to the Grapevine Grille several times because it is literally less than one minute from my home. The service has always been friendly and attentive, and the food has been usually acceptable (I generally get sandwiches--it's hard to mess up a sandwich. One time I had the eggplant and it was very greasy, a little overcooked, and oddly flavorless). But it is always really, really, REALLY LOUD in there. Even when business is slow, it's loud. There are always people conversing loudly in the bar, which is open to the dining room. The building's high ceiling and hard walls create the aural equivalent of being inside a barrel--all the noise echos, causing people to speak even louder, creating even more noise. It makes for an unpleasant atmosphere, to say the least. And this is something they certainly could change if they wanted--there are ways to control noise. But what prompted me to write this review was the experience I had today taking my mother there for an early dinner. It was even noisier than usual, thanks to a large Friday evening crowd at the bar. My club sandwich was actually quite good. But my mother got a clam strip dinner plate, and it was literally inedible. The cole slaw was pink in color and had a weird off taste to it that we couldn't identify (and the waitress was polite and apologetic but nevertheless she didn't know what was in it, either). More importantly, the clam strips were tough and chewy, like deep-fried rubber bands. They were literally difficult to swallow, even after a lot of chewing. We really hate to complain and almost never do, but when a staff person asked us how the food was, mom reluctantly admitted that her clams were chewy. The staff person (who appeared to be a manager, but I really don't know) apologized and then gave us the lame excuse that "sometimes it's just the clams" and walked off. But mom was unable to eat more than just a few bites, so we called over the waitress, explained that it was inedible, and sent it back. The waitress was certainly very apologetic, but mom did not want anything else so the waitress said she would see what she could do. The solution she came back with was a $10 credit towards a future visit. I find this entirely unacceptable. Mom sent back nearly the entire plate after explaining twice that it was inedible (and it was; this was not just an old lady being fussy--I tasted it myself and it was terrible). But they proceeded to bill us for it anyway. They absolutely should have just taken her entree off the bill. Period. That was the only appropriate solution. If they wanted to be truly gracious, they could have taken mom's entree off the bill *and* offered us the $10 credit on top of that as a good will gesture. That would have gone a long way toward keeping our business. But to bill us full charge for a meal that we both said was terrible and left uneaten was just unacceptable. They can rest assured that we will not be back again. With all the dining choices available I refuse to patronize a place that is unwilling to make it right when they serve us terrible food, no matter how convenient the location may be. read more

To be honest, I didn't hold out much hope for Grapevine Grille. The decor is kind of cheesy (an indoor garden fountain is the first thing to greet you), and I hadn't heard great things. The service and food were better than average, though. We stopped in for an impromptu late dinner with another couple, and were seated in a nice corner booth. Our waitress was very friendly and definitely on top of her game. We each ordered an individual pizza-- mine came with garlic, onions and mushroom, and it was very good. The crust was slightly thicker than what I prefer (but I think Greek pizza usually has a thicker crust), and a bit soggy in one place, but the toppings were fresh and the tasty sauce and cheese made up for the one iffy part. read more

Went there for lunch today and ordered the Pollo de mani (sautéed chicken, mushrooms, and roasted garlic with chopped tomatoes in a sherry cream, Gorgonzola sauce over fettuccine) $6.99. Meal started with a nice family style salad with vinaigrette and a warm crispy bread roll. Everything was delicious and the portions were very generous. Will definitely go back especially at the very reasonable prices and quality of the food. read more

Our meal started off with a huge black hair wrapped around the lettuce in our salad. Disgusting!.. The Lasagna was cold in the middle, the Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo was tasteless and they served the triple chocolate cake with cool whip. We noted the hair to the waitress, and she agreed it was disgusting and did get us a new one, however, they made no attempt to comp any part of the meal. It took us over 15 minutes to get the check. I would never eat here again and I am sure I will be lucky if I keep my food down overnight. read more

Local gem. The Mediterranean Chicken is awesome and normally what I order if I'm on the mood for chicken. The ribs fall off the bone and you can order a 1/2 rack if your not that hungry. Lasagna is also top notch, I order it with extra sauce. If you like Greek pizza(crust is thicker) they also have a great one, personally I go for the Buffalo Chicken white. If your looking for a place for a nice dinner or just a drink and a pizza you will like this place. read more

Terrible service, cant comment on food because I left after being ignored at the bar for 20minutes. Won't go there again.

I stopped in on a Sunday afternoon with an elderly friend. We were seated quickly and ordered chicken soup. Although it arrived quickly it was luke warm and had no taste. My friend was not feeling well so I had to leave quickly. For $8.95 total bill this was terrible. It is a loud restrauant as well. We had tried this place once before & was not impressed. Will not bother going here again. read more

This is one of my favorite places because they don't rush the food out. The workers are nice and give you what you ask for. The restaurant itself has a good atmosphere read more

A nice hearty wine glass pour and decent French Onion soup helped welcome us back home to Belchertown after a 5 hour drive last week. The wait staff is very friendly and I'm looking forward to checking this place out again for a solid meal the next time we're in town. read more

Never again, the alfredo was just heavy cream with melted motzarell absolutely no flavore had to ask for garlic powder just to get it past my lips. Thank goodness for boxed pasta, pretty hard to mess that up. And the frozen spanakopita, let's just say it's a great dish if your raising pigs, they would love it. Would recommend you go to McDonald's instead. Oh yea forgot to mention one of their specials of the day was Grapevine Big Mac read more

Good food overall, always iron duke baby maker on tap! Local establishment with a neighborhood feel. Good time every time.

Just had dinner here tonight, probably our fourth or fifth visit... we've never had a bad meal here, food is good with generous portions. The service can be a little hit or miss, there have been times we've had lunch at the bar and been somewhat ignored. The woman working the bar chatting with what I assume are regulars. That's fine but don't forget the ones waiting for another beer or their check. Something I noticed tonight that really stuck out to me what that fact that it was incredible loud. The dining room was less than half full but we had to raise our voices to be heard. Three different times we heard dishes crashing around, it was loud enough to make you jump. It may have just been busers throwing dishes in the bins to be washed but oh my god it was loud and annoying. Maybe the high ceilings change the acoustics. We will be back despite the few issues we've seen. read more

Great food! Great service; even at 10:00pm! Our waitress was on top of her game and the food was delicious!!!!

Pretty typical American-Greek-Italian-style restaurant. They have many different pizzas, grinders, sandwiches, and various entrees to choose from. Sort of has an air of trying to be fancier than it is, it feels a little like a mid-range motel lobby. The service was very friendly and polite though! I enjoyed the eggplant parmesan I ordered, the ricotta and red peppers in between the eggplant was an interesting and delicious touch. The portions here are HUGE so maybe don't get an appetizer unless you're planning on saving half your meal for tomorrow. Most of the people with me enjoyed what they ordered, though both my brothers ordered their burgers medium-rare and they came well-done. Overall: good food, good service, not so good atmosphere but definitely worth going to if you're looking for a place to eat in Belchertown. read more

Delicious! Got take out and it was amazing. Shrimp with raviolli and seafood pesto were perfect. The shrimp was a good size and the scallops weren't tough at all. And the lettuce in the salads was fresh! Only reason for no fifth star was because we haven't eaten inside yet. Reasonable prices for serving size. And even pleased my super super super picky boyfriend- I can't say that about many restaurants! read more

HUGE portions. My wife and I are good eaters and we couldn't finish our meals. She had the baked fisherman's platter and I had the surf and turf. Friendly, attractive young waitress which is always a plus. No tattoos or piercings. Had a Groupon so the cost was very competitive. read more

Oct 20, 2016 had a quick lunch. It seems more of a bar than a restaurant, at least at lunchtime. Service was fine but the food was subpar. I ordered a bread, salad, soup combination. The chicken vegetable was fine but seemed more like canned. The bread was a bagette and there was no butter. The worst was the salad. Old rusty lettace, a couple cuke halves and a few under-ripe tomatoes. I was not drinking, so I cannot comment on the alcohol selection. My friend got the steak-tip open-faced sandwich with fries. He said he enjoyed it. I cannot see trying this again read more

What a feast! The Mothers Day Buffet was out of this world. Super friendly, personal service and variety of foods was unbelievable. The Grapevine is ALWAYS great, they somehow outdid themselves for Mothers Day. THANK YOU GRAPEVINE GRILL! read more

Waitresses were nice and polite, and the reservation was honored on time. But the food, aside from the salad and bread was very disappointing. I will not be eating here again, as I do not give restaurants second chances. You've got one shot to impress me, and you blew it Grapevine. The Pasta Fagioli soup was probably about 75* when it was served to me and did not stand out in flavor at all. The Salmon Santorini was just plain gross; a cacaphony of mismatched flavors. I almost pulled a Gordon Ramsey and spit in out. I also tried some steak off another's plate; it was cold and plain, not seasoned at all. This is very baffling, as all the reviews are 4 and 5 stars. I expected a decent and satisfying meal, but got neither. Tonight, this establishment did not live up to its so-called reputation. And to top it off, the post dinner coffee was weak as if it'd been twice brewed; at least it was hotter than my soup. read more
