"After 47 years in Lower Greenville, I learned that The Grape will close for good on October 10; back in February the hallowed neighborhood institution had already gotten out of the Sunday brunch game, citing a lack of traffic through its doors. Owners Brian and Courtney Luscher — who bought the restaurant from original owners Kathy McDaniel and Charlotte Parker in 2007 — said that, at the crossroads of their lease renewal, the family decided to head out on a different path and embark on "another amazing Luscher family adventure." There's still time to try The Grape's classic cheeseburger with horseradish pickles, bacon, and Vermont cheddar (called the "Best Burger in Texas") or its beloved cream of mushroom soup, and the restaurant posted on Facebook: "It's been the best ride." - Adele Chapin
