About This Place

Nestled in the charming town of Alpine, TX, Line Thai Cafe offers an inviting escape into the vibrant world of authentic Thai cuisine. This cozy Thai restaurant delights diners with a menu that sings with bold, aromatic flavors and traditional recipes crafted with care. From the moment you step inside or settle at one of their many outdoor tables, you’re met with a warm, friendly atmosphere perfect for casual meals, family gatherings, or a tasty stop before exploring Big Bend.

The culinary offerings at Line Thai Cafe are a true celebration of Thai street food favorites and classic dishes, each bursting with freshness and spice. The Chicken Fried Rice showcases perfectly stir-fried Thai jasmine rice tossed with tender chicken, egg, onions, peas, and carrots, then garnished with vibrant green onions and a squeeze of lemon—each bite a comforting, savory delight. For those craving rich, creamy flavors, the Red Curry Chicken is a must-try, delicately balancing spicy Thai red chili paste with luscious coconut milk, tender chicken, bamboo shoots, mushrooms, kaffir lime leaves, and fragrant Thai basil. Vegetarians will appreciate the tofu version, equally satisfying and gluten-free.

Pad Thai devotees will find joy in the restaurant’s rendition of Chicken Pad Thai, a harmonious blend of rice noodles, egg, peanuts, and flavorful sauces, while the Garlic Pork over Rice offers savory comfort with a punch of garlic-infused goodness. Seafood lovers won’t want to miss the Shrimp Fried Rice, each morsel delivering a fresh ocean sweetness mingled with jasmine rice and vegetables. And to complement the spice and spice-level preferences, the Tom Kha Gai soup, rich with coconut and herbaceous notes of lemongrass, provides a soothing balance.

Beverages like the creamy Thai Milk Tea and robust Frappé Coffee perfectly round out the dining experience, while lighter options such as Iced Tea offer refreshing relief from Texas heat. The menu also offers exceptional side dishes, from steamed jasmine rice and mixed vegetables to gluten-free steamed rice noodles, accommodating a variety of dietary needs.

    We stopped in the little Town of Alpine on the way to Big Bend - and we saw this Thai place and decided to have dinner there. What a good choice! The food is very tasty, authentic Thai food. The girl at the counter was friendly and also the guy that brought us the food from the kitchen. You have tables inside but also quite a few tables outside. If you stop here and wanna have something else than Mexican food: This is the place.

    In the Big Bend area for a few days and this place was a welcome treat. Ended up going here twice and had the spicy bamboo shoots with iced Thai coffee both visits.

    Delicious, but I definitely overestimated how much spice I could handle. I can usually do medium spicy, but the 3 out of 5 at this place was what I would call very spicy. The outdoor atmosphere is great and very kid friendly! We also had a dog with us and were able to have her leashed on the patio as long as she did not get in the sandbox.

    A surprising find in Alpine! Food was hot, tasty and generous portions. We shared the shrimp cakes- would definitely order these again. My husband had fried pineapple rice and I had fried pineapple rice with shrimp. He was able to finish his plate, I took home 1/2 of my plate. The decor is simple and whimsical. Clean and attractive inside and very welcoming outside.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What a wonderful find! We were so grateful this Thai restaurant was open on Christmas, and the experience exceeded all expectations. The food was absolutely delicious—special shoutout to the pepper chicken, which was outstanding and packed with flavor. Beyond the food, the staff were incredibly warm and caring. When my toddler had a fresh bruise, they kindly helped us out with a bandaid without hesitation, which meant so much to us as parents. Little gestures like that truly set this place apart. It’s also very family-friendly, with a sandpit that kept our little one happily occupied while we enjoyed our meal. Amazing food, genuinely kind people, and a welcoming atmosphere—highly recommend and we’ll definitely be back!

    It has been three years in a row that we keep going back to this amazing little place next to the stable where we have octane fest every year! The food is absolutely legit and on point and the yellow curry is out of this world! There really isn’t much service because it’s pretty much you order and then they just bring it out and that’s it but it’s very simple and easy which is very fitting for the town. My Wife and I can eat like we are ordering everything on the menu and still be under $50 and that’s amazing! We would highly recommend it and I know it doesn’t sound normal to want to have amazing Thai food in the middle of the desert, but she won’t want to miss this place I promise!

    Wow that was delicious. Fresh, hot, lots of food for the price. Service was friendly and quick, order at the counter and get a beeper. Seating inside and out, a good size given the ample parking. Pad Thai and chicken fried rice were delicious, side of veggies was only $3. The meals can with a good portion of veggies, we wanted to add more. Clean restroom.
