We've ordered out from this place 3 times now. The staff is super friendly and the food is fantastic. Love the Excel Sodas they offer and the desserts look so good! We enjoy the catfish special and the fried shrimp. The fried chicken is also wonderful. Next time I'd like to try dining in and the restaurant is very nice and casual. There is plenty of parking and it's easy to get in and out on Watson. read more

The food was excellent and the service was great. Husband had chicken and I had fish. Will definitely go back!

The super friendly staff made it worth the trip. They were more than happy to talk about the menu and the food. You could tell they were proud of what they made. The updated paint inside was a nice touch. The food was tasty and I liked the catfish seasoning, although it was heavy on the salt and price. I bought the meal, which came with fish, fries and relish. Generally, the expectations for the area would be two sides for the price. I was confused by the the combination of a cloth napkin with a paper covered metal tray without plates. Staff brought the food, but we had to clean up our table, which seemed out of sync with the higher than average price for the area. In retrospect, our experience was perhaps closer to a sitdown foodtruck. However, the meal with tip was around $50 for two, which is generally full-service on Watson Rd. I didn't get the concept, but admit that I have not tried their other location. read more

I think it's simply not worth the price. While good , 100$ for a family of four with all chicken sandwiches and fries is not worth the cost. read more

After being a solid customer of King Edwards chicken. I was really disappointed in the quality of Grace chicken and fish. It's just not the same. Sure do miss King Edwards. read more

Food , chicken and fish combo fantastic great place for a couples date or takeout very busy love the atmosphere. Service was five stars.

We were in Saturday for dinner and had the catfish and french fries both were entirely too salty.

Underwhelming to say the least. I ordered quarter fried chicken with mashed potatoes and cornbread. Also got a fountain soda. I paid $30 in total. I got the regular fried chicken. Understeasoned is an understatement. Not even salt or pepper. I got one thigh and one leg. Didn't seem like a quarter chicken. The corn bread was so dense and dry. The mashed potatoes had dill in them for some reason. Very disappointing. read more

Not for us. The food was so salty. I got chicken, hubby got fish. Both were heavily salted and over fried to the point of being dry. If you like dry, salty food it is the place for you. Also thought their prices were on the high side: $10 for three pieces of chicken (breast and two wings), no sides included. We won't be back. read more

The restaurant was quite cozy & well-lit. The ambience was very artistic & the acoustics were good. The place was crowded but not noisy. The food was awesome as usual - in which you come to expect from Grace Meat restaurants. The catfish & shrimp were seasoned & cooked to deliciousness. The wings & cod were fantastic especially with the hot sauce oil. The sides were very tasty - Mac & cheese, mash potatoes & fries. The price value was fantastic especially with looming inflation, since Covid where all product prices are higher & most restaurants are so expensive nowadays. It's hard to find good-great seafood in Stl. They don't sell anything until they have great affordable seafood, seasoning is on point & nothing was greasy. read more

We have been here twice. (So glad to have a new place in the neighborhood.) We had fish the first time and it was good, not great. Early days after they opened here, so maybe had not dialed it all in. But today we went for chicken. Great choice! I got a sandwich special - the Seoul Shakedown. Oh, it was so good! Spicy but not overwhelming; messy but plenty of napkins. Very glad I tried it. My husband got the Half Bird and was very pleased - not too much food, since he ordered no sides - and really good. and moist. And we indulged in a piece of the Bourbon Pecan Pie Brownie, which was also very good. Order and pay at the counter, then they bring your food when it's ready; they also bus the tables. Very casual ambience. Friendly, helpful staff. read more

Ordering was easy, chicken and fries were very good . The deviled eggs were excellent. Chicken can be ordered as regular, medium spicy and very spicy. Service was good and this place was very clean. read more

I had the fried pickles and a 2 pc catfish dinner... it was absolutely amazing... the flavors of the dipping sauces just put the meal over the top. The workers were very friendly and the place is very clean!! I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone! read more

THE GOOD - Absolutely delicious! Fantastic fish and chicken. Amazing cornbread, collard greens, fries, side relish, hushpuppies, etc. Everything we tried was SO GOOD! They have a huge selection of different sauces which was fun. Some good local beers and other beverage selection. Really great menu! It makes you want to try everything. The decor is a nice fresh look - much more cohesive than when the Crestwood location was called King Richards. The music is festive and goes along with the New Orleans-esque motif. NEEDS WORK - Holy crap it is hot in the restaurant. Granted it was during a heat wave, but the A/C needs to be replaced or repaired. You can't walk into a restaurant from outside in the heat only to come inside to a much hotter place and then try to enjoy a meal. It is just crazy hot inside the store. Hopefully that is being addressed - because that is a dangerous level of heat for a staff to have to cook fried food in. The school-room style drop ceiling is an affordable yet odd looking choice. It really clashes with the overall decor and ambiance - so don't look at the ceiling... We originally chose to go there because I was hungry for fish and chips... so I had the fried cod. To me fried cod comes part and parcel with lemon and malt vinegar... like peas and carrots and Forest Gump and Bubba...they just go together - always. To my surprise - they do not carry malt vinegar nor lemon... LIKE THEY DO NOT HAVE IT EVER. I have never heard of a fish place not having those two items. ABSOLUTELY NEEDS FIXED As good as the food is and as kind as the staff were the steamy dining area with the sun blasting through the unshaded windows made for an extremely uncomfortable time eating. Not having the lemon and malt vinegar along with the hot dining area would be reasons why I would likely not go back at least until it is cooler weather (but even in the dead of winter - on a sunny day those shadeless windows would feel like a sauna) and then I guess I have to bring my own lemons and malt vinegar? C'mon...? Lemons and Malt Vinegar are just part of a seafood place. But that heat tho... Supposedly the AC is due to be repaired...? COST Also it's not a cheap place to eat...3 Adults - 2 Cod orders with 1 Catfish order and 1 Chicken wing order (so we could all sample the chicken) + 3 shared SMALL sides + 1 beer + 1 soft drink = $100... The prices are not cheap. But this is not cheap food. It takes a lot to make food this good, served quickly with consistent quality. But if there would be a way to maintain quality and service with more affordable prices - that would be great! The AC is a MUST FIX situation. Congrats to the team! read more

The filet-o-grace was delicious, service was really good as well very friendly highly recommend!!! read more

Grace Chicken Fish - The filet-o-grace was so good, it was so flavorful and the fish tasted so fresh and perfectly cooked highly recommend - Fish & Chips Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

See all

Phenomenal catfish po' boy. Get the oatmeal cream pie for dessert, it's insanely good. The mac n cheese we got for a side was good but the noodles do need some work as another reviewer pointed out. Will be back! read more

Let me start off with something positive - the gentleman at the counter was super nice. We've been excited to try this place. We ordered take out. The chicken was just ok and small portions for $18. We got the half bird. Got mashed potatoes which we didn't eat because they were gray and way too spicy. Got the Mac and cheese which we didn't eat because the noodles were thick and chewy. Super disappointed because Crestwood needs more "good" restaurants. This is not a good one. read more

I wanted so much to really like this place. I was a big fan of King Edward's that used to be at this location. I went at 5:30 and it was packed so obviously people like it. I ordered the cod sandwich and was very disappointed. It wasn't much bigger than a Fillet of Fish from McDonald's and not very tasty. As a side I got the slaw - I wasn't expecting it to be spicy. It wasn't bad but I'd never order it again. I also got some chicken strips. More disappointment. Very little flavor and on the dry side. I wish the well, but I doubt I'll be back. The new decor is nice. read more

This is for new spot on Watson. Went on 2nd week after opening for Sunday brunch at 11:15 (they don't open until 11 on Sunday). We were told "no brunch items available". No waffles. No McRick. So we left. It's probably good, they maybe on track now, we just went too early and needed to give them more time to figure it out. I'll try it again in a few weeks. read more

Love love love this place! Great food and service! The chicken and fish are both great! The sauces they have are fabulous!

Simply fantastic, great service fun atmosphere. The best chicken and fish around. The second location to a saint Louis original. I hope they have continued success read more

Depending on the order, they separate the hot and cold ingredients when carrying out, preserving the crispness of the chicken. The Seoul chicken sandwich was incredible. read more

I've been to the original location several times and it was always excellent. The new spot was disappointing. I spent $80 on chicken that tasted like it had been sitting under a heat lamp for hours. It was clearly not cooked to order and felt more like a fast-casual grab-and-go experience. The chicken was barely warm and had no crispness at all. Do better. read more

I had my first visit here and I was pleasantly surprised. I felt like fish and chips so I ordered their 2 piece beer battered cod and a small order of fries. The fish had perfect crispy batter on it and was mostly moist on the inside. Their dill tarter sauce is light and tasty. The fries were freshly made and tasted great with the fish. I will certainly be back to sample other things but I doubt the cod can be beat. It will be my go to. read more

We had carry out chicken with greens, Mac and cheese and cornbread. The chicken was pretty good but the greens and Mac and cheese were disappointing. The meal was expensive for what you got. I was hoping for a great chicken dinner like King Edward's. read more

There's two reasons that you return to restaurants.....1. The food! 2. The way you are treated. That being said....#2 is the reason I will not be returning after trying this restaurant for the first time today. My mom will be turning 83 on Tuesday and when I asked her where she wanted to go for her birthday dinner, she said, "no Mexican and no barbecue" because she was burnt out on both of them. I suggested Grace Chicken + Fish because we both love fried chicken, it was close to where she lives in Webster Groves, and of all the amazing reviews at both of their restaurants. We were standing there ordering and I ordered the half fried chicken with two sides added...fries and collard greens. I commented on the collard greens with him, looking me in the face. I said, "I'm a little afraid about ordering these collard greens because in the description it says vinegar, I'm going to order them anyways and give them a try." I paid for everything (I thought) and even added a 15% tip. The food was brought out later and it was missing the collard greens, which I let the girl that brought the food out know. She returned a few minutes later with the collard greens. We were eating our meal and I guess the manager was coming out and asking everyone about their food. He came to our table and asked how everything was and we said it was great! He went further out into the restaurant and then, as he was walking back to the front, he stops at our table and asked me for a credit card to pay for the collard greens that they didn't charge me for when I ordered at the counter when I got there. My mother, her husband and I were really set back by that! My mother and her husband both had comments for that manager about having the audacity to ask me to pay for a side item at that point right in the middle of eating. There is probably tons of food that is thrown away every night anyways. So for $4.11 in additional charges to my credit card, I will not be returning to this restaurant. If that's what they think of their customers, then I don't want to be one. I don't care how good the food is. As he walked away after bringing me my receipt while I was eating I realize the food wasn't tasting near as good. This is where I chose to bring my mother for her birthday lunch. She is almost 83 years old. I would like her to have as many great days with me as possible. It would appear to me that Grace Chicken + Fish cares more about their numbers than they do people and return customers. read more

The food was absolutely delicious, the chicken was juicy and had great flavor. The customer service is friendly and everyone was genuinely joyful to be there. I recommend anyone wanting chicken or some fried fish to check it out! read more

Cod was two Mrs. Paul's sized and complete saturated with bad tasting oil, so they haven't got the cook time and temperature correct so it just soaked up all the grease and was mushy. Same for the chicken, the light breading was mushy and greasy. French fries were totally stale and inedible. $9 Fried pickles were mid. Way overpriced- foodie hipster pricing for carny corn dog level food read more

Love this place. The fried pickles and OG chicken sandwich...yum! Fries are solid and sooo good!

Im going to start by saying Grace has good chicken BUT.... I absolutely cannot justify $26 for a 2 piece chicken with slaw and a drink (added side fry) . It's ridiculous ..,especially in this economy . Sorry but I'll stick with Porters which is just as good for half the price . read more

This place is overhyped and overpriced. Their menu is so restricted that if you don't want fries or coleslaw with your combo meal, they force you into buying a la carte. I got Surf&Turf, but didn't want coleslaw. They wouldn't substitute for collard greens so I had to pay extra. They didn't even have cocktail sauce available and they serve fried shrimp. They made some for me. For 6 average shrimp, two small catfish pieces and 3 small wings with fries, collard greens and tea cost me $36 before tip and taxes. I did not have $36 worth of food on my tray. I won't be going back. read more

I'm sorry, after years if enjoying King Edwards I wanted to give Grace a try. Don't bother. First, in fairness both a slaw and fries were unique. The fries were seasoned and the slaw had very good season and texture to it. Not just your typical creamy Cole slaw. Thumbs up! But that is where the good news stops. The chicken was the most flavorless chicken I've ever eating. I seldom throw away anything but threw away several leftover chicken pieces. It was that tasteless. The breast could not have been dryer. Halfway through I threw one away. Sometimes the breading is flavorful but the meat itself doe not get touched by the flavor. In this case neither had flavor or seasoning. Everything was bland. On top of that I paid $36 for eight pieces. (The whole bird) typically $12-$16 anywhere else. $58 for 8 pieces, Slaw and fries. Save your money and go to Dierbergs. Even Schnucks is better then this as is KFC. They are overly proud of their chicken judging by the price but have no reason to be so. I gave them a try but won't waste my time of money again. I miss King Edwards. They were good. read more

Food over priced for the portion. Only thing worth wild was the strips, pretty nice size and fresh. Chicken wings "mid", for the price just go to Pops Fish and Chicken. Fish "Catfish" mid, I can say I tried this place but won't be back. read more

Chicken strips were juicy and tender. Cornbread was moist and delicious. Greens were spicy and not bitter. I ate them because they're good for me. read more

The price was a bit steep but worth it. The chicken flavors clashed together with the spices. The fries had a great seasoning on them. The food was hot and ready it felt like it came straight out the oven. Service was also great. The staff put a smile on my face, and they brung it out in less than 10 minutes. They played the right music, it was a happy yet relaxing. I think I might have a food coma. read more

Such a great place to eat! We stopped there for lunch and everything was amazing. The employees were very friendly and the service was quick. We went right when they opened and I'm glad we did because it was completely packed when we left. The renovation was very nicely done and they said they were upgrading the air conditioning while we were there. The chicken was great with the Comeback sauce! read more

Fried green tomatoes for appetizer were absolutely delicious! And their "comeback sauce" is great and has plenty of kick. Was surprised that the $8.00 order was (just) 5 slices of tomato -- not giant slices, but medium. We got half of a fried chicken which is the standard one wing, one leg, one thigh, and one breast. Right away we noticed that the 4 pieces of chicken had 3 distinct looks: the breast resembled KFC extra-crispy with a dark golden brown colored crispy batter crust... the thigh and wing were a completely different color and texture than the breast - they looked more like a cornmeal crust that had started as light yellow but had a reddish/orangish seasoning in the cornmeal... the leg had no crust/batter on half of it and the other half was similar to KFC original. All of the pieces tasted good and the breast was moist on the inside. Mac 'n cheese had a thick cheesey-sauce with very good flavor. Slaw was very fresh also with very good flavor. I ordered online for a specific pick-up time... was notified about 10 minutes before my pick-up time that the order was ready -- this was not as helpful to me as it might be to others as I couldn't get there any sooner so my order "sat" longer than it needed to. read more
