Grace Meat + Three is a known quantity here in the STL, to the point where I had to check and see if I'd ever reviewed it. I've been there once or twice over the years, and I've eaten from the food truck once or twice. The fried chicken is fine but kinda underwhelming. It's good, but not to the point where it justifies the price. It's served on a metal tray, on a piece of wax paper, as if it were premium Texas barbecue, but at the end of the day, it's not barbecue. It's just fried chicken. The dirty little secret of fried chicken is that it's not especially hard to make decent-quality fried chicken. They sell it at gas stations, in grocery stores. Popeyes employees lacking in basic life skills, whom you wouldn't trust to make a cup of coffee, routinely crank out a product as good as anything else you can get in a restaurant. Not that I'm complaining. I love Grace! It's where I go when my "bad" cholesterol is too low and the balance in my checking account is too high. I'm at a problematic and yet gratifying state of equlibrium after yesterday's visit. I already kinda knew that I wasn't going to bother with the chicken, but I could hardly read the menu. I almost went with a half-chicken just to avoid having to squint. They've got one of those backlit screens, like at a McDonald's (where everyone just uses the kiosk now anyway), but with worse fonts and less line-spacing. I'm sure they paid a premium for it back in '06 or whatever. Everything in this place is peak stomp clap-era millennial optimism, from back when guys were dressing as lumberjacks. Of course there's a random, incongruous smash burger on the menu. They may or may not be playing Mumford & Sons on the Muzak. I figured the chicken sandwich, called the OG Crispy, would be a good opportunity to compare it to the famous chicken sandwich at the aforementioned Popeyes. Also, it comes with fries, which spared me from having to take out a loan on my house to purchase them a la carte. At $16 (I think), it'll definitely run you, but in general, the prices here seem less ridiculous than they used to. It's still entirely too much, but somehow not much more than you'd spend at a fast food restaurant. Are the fries that come with a sandwich the same size that they are if you order them separately? Supposedly, the a la carte side feeds two. I couldn't imagine two people sharing the side that comes with the OG Crispy. Someone might get cut! It was a perfectly fine size for just me. They're seasoned with some sort of blend that's heavy on the black pepper. I would have been fine with just salt, but this was no dealbreaker. The OG Crispy was great! Was it better than the chicken sandwich at Popeyes? It's hard to say. It's probably a better quality piece of chicken. Similar size. Expertly prepared: nice and crisp on the outside and not overcooked on the inside, which is key for white meat. You're given the choice of regular or hot. I of course went with the hot. I wish the sauce had more tang to it, but it was surprisingly and delightfully hot. Spicy foods in non-ethnic restaurants are so often nerfed, for children and, erm, non-ethnics. A few people at my table had the po boys, both shrimp and catfish. They looked really good, and not as skimpy as they look in some of the photos posted here. I might have to try one, once my LDL subsides and my financial situation recovers. Sandwiches might be the thing to get here. Not that you can truly go wrong with anything.
The brunch was excellent, great portions and flavor! The wait time was maybe 10-15 minutes and we were checked on periodically to see if we needed anything else. It was also quiet enough to have a conversation. I will definitely be back.
I really enjoyed my experience here. It was pleasant, low chatter from the guests. The ambiance was chill. I love that they went with navy blue as the color for their walls and it was a nice touch of vintage decorum. The place service is that you will order, they will give you a number to place on your table and a server will deliver your food to you. The following food me and my wife: Chicken wing plate- My wife enjoyed her meal. I tried her chicken and it was a bit spicy. Chicken fried Chicken plate- It was lightly crisp, and tender. Mac n cheese- Spicy, noodles a little tough, would have wanted the cheese to be firm. Collard greens- taste just like my wife's....so good! Sweet potato- mashed to perfection! Cornbread- sweet and good. King cake shake- just like the cake from good ol' New Orleans. Oatmeal creme Cookie- Lovely
I visited your restaurant last month and decided to try the special of the month which was the Horseshoe. It turned out to be an absolute hit, fulfilling all my cravings for the day! You truly outdid yourselves with this dish. I'll definitely be coming back again, as I've never been disappointed with your food yet!
The foodie in me did a considerable amount of research prior to my trip to the St. Louis area. Grace Meat + Three was high on my list of places to visit. My daughter and I arrived, stood at the counter, and waited to be seated, but this is an "order at the counter and take your number to the table" type of establishment, which seems to be a popular business model in the area. We stepped out of line to decide on what to order. I settled on the Catfish Meal Deal (hot) and a side of Fried Brussels Sprouts. There was a sauce station with an array of options. I'm a saucy lady, so I helped myself to the Dilly Tartar Sauce, Tasty Ranch and Comeback Sauce. There was also Sweet Whiskey BBQ and Alabama White Sauce. The sauce bottles were labeled with dates that gave us a bit of pause, but the bottles were cold, so we proceeded. The dining area had Southern-charm, and the other guests all appeared to be enjoying themselves. The staff were all very kind and helpful and we enjoyed our meals so much that we both placed to-go orders to enjoy at our hotel room later that evening. My daughter ordered wings to-go and I ordered the Grace Burger. Unfortunately, while eating my burger later that night with a knife and fork, I found a long strand of hair embedded in the burger patty, which caused me to discard it after those few unfortunate bites. Were it not for this, I would've given them 5 stars.
Food: amazing! This was some flavorful, soul food right here! Greens were fire!! Mac & cheese..fire!!! I had the smoked wings which were delicious, except that I would get them with the relish, and drizzle on the side.Shrimp were good size, and tender!! The fish was cornmeal (which I'm ok with), and it was fried to perfection! My only problem with the food was my a la carte fried chicken wings. He needed some help. It was cold, and rubbery. Needed to be fried a minute or two longer IMO. Not a big fan of tipping before I even get my food, so I have to remember that when you have to order, pay, and optional tip before you even sit down. I like the overall appearance of the place. Very clean, and everyone was very nice. Definitely going back! Sorry about the half eaten food in the pics. Lol!!!
Atmosphere was vibrant and music sublime. The oldies and soul that gets you really enjoying your company and the food? This place had it. I got the fish and spaghetti, hubby got the grilled fish and "Grandma's cornbread," and mom in law got wings, mac and cheese and greens. Latter not pictured here but they enjoyed overall. Mentioned greens had too many stems in them and chicken could have been seasoned more. My entree was perfectly seasoned! If in the area stop by for efficient and friendly service!
This atmosphere is somewhat southern charm mixed with chic. Touches of southern accents sit in the windows and on the walls. It's very homey and fresh! However, The main star of the show. The Chicken. I got the chicken sandwich and I'm telling you I cannot wait to go try just the fried chicken next. Crispy. Seasoned. Bursting with flavor! I got original and not spicy cause I'm a wimp but the sauces you can get on the sandwich. The comeback sauce for the fr and the hot and honey for the chicken. You can't change my mind. The fries were crispy and salty and seasoned to literal perfection. We also tried their bologna sandwich which is featured on the Netflix show 'Fresh, Fried, and Crispy' so we had to get it. My boyfriend loved it so much he mentions it all the time. Fried pickles were fantastic and I cant wait to try the rest of their menu!
Grace Meat + Three was probably one of the best spots I've ever had! It's super close to SLU, and I got the Grace Burger, which was really tasty, but I think I preferred the fried chicken sandwich. It was so crispy, probably one of the best chicken sandwiches I've had in a while! We had sides of cornbread and mac and cheese, and the mac and cheese was divine: perfect flavor, pasta, and breadcrumbs. The interior is super family-friendly, lots of kids and families when I went, and the staff was so sweet. Parking can be a bit tricky, but it's absolutely worth it!
Reunited and it feels so good! I met up with some friends for an early brunch on Sunday and was craving some southern food. I've only been to Grace once and that was four years ago. As a matter of fact, the last time I was there, they had a somewhat limited menu. This time, I went with the shrimp meal which comes with 1 side ( I chose cornbread) and got an addtl side of Brussel sprouts. For a party of four, our food came relatively quick. The first bite of shrimp was interesting as I tasted majority batter and very little shrimp. While flavorful, it was a tad underwhelming. While the shrimp may have been a letdown, the cornbread and Brussel sprouts were anything but. The cornbread was moist and resembled a slick of cake due to its thickness and consistency. The sprouts had the perfect combination of char, balsamic, Parmesan, and spices. Overall, I was more than pleased with the service and food. I can't wait to come back.
Would have rated a 5 if it weren't for the service. The girl was very rude and was LITERALLY texting in between taking our order. There were five of us, after each one she would stop and text. While we were sitting down, two guys came in that hadn't been there before. She didn't look up or greet them, they just stood there and she was texting. We were one of the only people in there. Food was great as always!! I wish they had a "mild" spice. It goes from no spice, to hot, to extra hot. I like spicy and the hot was so spicy I could barely eat it. Quiet inside and plenty of seating for everyone.
I absolutely love grace meat! We've been going for years now and I have probably tried it all. The kitchen sink salad is unreal. The deviled egg in the salad, the onions, the cornbread crumbs takes it up a notch. I love the fries and chicken sandos as well. Super fresh and juicy chicken. The service is always wonderful. We love sitting at the bar for the experience. 10/10 place!
Casual dining in a restaurant setting. You order at the front and the deliver your food. Good service. I felt the food was ok. The Hominy Lager was tasty. The cornbread tasted a little too dense. The bologna sandwich which this place is known for was basically a thick cut of ham with egg. I think I was expecting my taste buds to have Oscar Meyer old school tastes.
Came around 130 PM on a Saturday and snagged a nice two person table by the window. Super spacious and friendly service. Order at the counter and then seat yourself wherever you fancy. Lots of options for different size groups. Chicken was flavorful and lightly breaded. Sauces plentiful and seasoned. Left me asking for more (but also had leftovers). The man loved his wings and lord knows he knows his wings. Highly recommend the lime buttermilk sauce and the fresh French fries!!! Only one star off for wishing more bang for buck if ya know what I mean read more

This was our first time. Honestly I'm really upset. We spend $60. My husband got Catfish nuggets. There was like 10 tiny little pieces. He said it was very salty. Along with my mother and law got the catfish 3 piece. It was also very salty. The fries were terrible. The Mac and cheese was just bland noodles and zero cheese. The burger was gross and I have had plenty of burgers it is hard to mess up a burger. It was loud and overall the people weren't very friendly. Other customers were saying stuff about my son and overall a bad vibe here. To top it off we had to no ice for our drinks. The sweet tea was out took 20mins to get some. Honestly it was just one thing after another. I'm sad that we had a big experience. Especially for our first time read more
I love the food at Grace Meat + Three! I started off with their Rum Punch and it was really good and for an appetizer, my friend ordered their Fried Green Tomatoes. Once you order and take a number, you can go seat wherever is open and someone will bring your food to the table. Their Fried Green Tomatoes were really good and these Honey Hot Chicken Skins?! Omg they were soooo bomb! I'm very particular about my greens but the ones at Grace Meat + Three were pretty tasty and I loved their chicken wings with the comeback sauce. Not only was the food really good but so was the hospitality. Did I also mention that Grace Meat + Three was featured in that new Netflix show Fresh, Fried, and Crispy? Yup! They are actually in the very first episode. If you haven't been by Grace Meat + Three yet then you should definitely check them out sometime. read more
Still 5 Stars. Even though the restaurant business is.currently being severely impacted by Covid 19 and limited to carry out or delivery. Grace is delivering quality food and customer focused service. We ordered dinner for 4 and beer and wine It was ready at the promised time, well packed, and served with a smile. The server in the window must have thanked me 3 or 4 times. Be generous with your tips to help the people working. Remember, the Giving Grace Family Meal and Plates contributes 15% to out of work restaurant workers. Fantastic food and a big heart. My thanks to Rick and the team for your caring hearts. read more

Found this place after visiting the Science Center nearby. Eclectic neighborhood location with street parking. I tried the 3 pieces of catfish with a side of collard greens and cornbread. They offer spice levels for their breading items, and I opted for "hot." The catfish was excellent. It is served with a pickled tomato relish and slivers of fresh white onion. A new item to me but paired very well with the heat of the catfish. Instinctively, I grabbed hot sauce but didn't use it at all. The cornbread was very sweet, similar to a very dense cake but good. The only ding for me was the number of stems in the collards, but the flavor was good. Next visit back to STL, I'd definitely come again. read more

I've been to Grace Meat a couple of times and it's always been good. This time I did take out as I was treating myself lol. The online ordering was easy and they have a pick up window on the side so you don't even have to walk in. The process went pretty smooth, I Ordered a variety of items as they were doing a special on their fried chicken horseshoe sandwich. The open faced horseshoe sandwich was very tasty. Only negative thing-which nothing can be done about- was that the bread that the chicken was sitting on was a little soggy by the time I got back to the house but that's the deal when you do takeout. The cheese sauce with the sandwich was delicious and when you put a little bit of sour cream with it. It was even better!! The gizzards were done perfectly and I love the crispy coating. There was a hot mustard sauce with the gizzards that was paired perfectly! All the sides we're outstanding- Cole slaw, Mac n Cheese-yummy- my only negative thing about the sides that was the brussel sprouts were a little mushy but not overly so. I would also like to say the everything salad is delicious. The homemade dressing that came with it was spectacular. The only thing I would probably add with the salad. Some homemade croutons would've been perfection. Everything was outstanding, and Grace Meat definitely upheld the reputation with this meal!! I was particularly impressed, considering it was take out as well, but sometimes really hurts a meal. read more

Our first visit, we had heard about it and even saw Andrew Zimmerman on delicious destinations, he gave really good review of this restaurant. A favorite spot required reservation, so we stopped here. My husband had the chicken wings and collard greens-he loved everything especially the barbecue sauce for his wings. I had the fried shrimp and succotash with fried green tomatoes. Buttermilk lime dipping sauce. The shrimp were good with a crispy coating and paired well with the sauce. The shrimp were a little over though still tender. Really good succotash but a little fennel forward for my taste. My husband loves the fried green tomatoes. Nice crowd. Good and friendly service. We will return. read more

I've had this on my list for a while now! We are foodies and will drive a long distance for good food. I would have given them a 5 if the chicken would have been hot, I'm talking temperature not spice. It was warm but not piping hot like I would have expected it to be. Now the sides, the cornbread is amazing- sweet and the texture was marvelous, the Mac n cheese was good but not to die for, but the slaw was creamy and really seasoned well. We did get 2 hand pies to go a lemon and pecan. They aren't very big but I'm sure they will be yummy tonight! Cheers from Lou! **The service was good too. read more

This place isn't KFC! Great food, more than $10 a head. I had fried chicken not spicy, corn bread and Succotash. Really good. The succotash was corn, some beans and a great sauce. A first for me, but really good. The chicken was hot fried chicken. Not heavily breaded, very good. My 18 yo had a fried chicken sandwich and corn bread. He thinks both were maybe the best of each he has had. The food was all hot. The bun was wonderfully toasted. Lots of outside seating, takeout window to order out there. Nice seating inside in large amounts. Lots of other interesting things to try. Since I liked everything we ordered, going to dip further into the menu on future trips. read more
There was a point in time where we came here every weekend for a month... The food was exactly what we wanted each time and the staff were so friendly. The chicken tenders are exactly what you need late night after a few drinks. We also love the outdoor seating when the weather cooperates. read more
I've been here for both dine in and takeout. When I dined in, I got the famous fried chicken, and it didn't disappoint. The meat was golden crusted on the outside yet juicy within, and flavorful the whole way through. Also ordered the fried green tomatoes, which in comparison were quite bland. When I got takeout, the chicken was super dry and overcooked. They also forgot my sides. I'd stick to dining in to be safe. read more
Came here for Sunday birthday brunch with family. I didn't realize it was an order at the counter and then find a seat situation. We were able to move 2 tables together for our party at 5. I got the egg Rick muffin. It was good but I probably wouldn't order it again. The sausage was not what I was expecting since it was not what you typically get for a breakfast sausage. Also very messy! Had to eat with a fork & knife and not as a sandwich. My high noon tequila drink is also something I probably wouldn't order again. I guess I was expecting the chili to be on the rim but it was mixed in the drink and the acid from the Orange just made kick even stronger! The hash Brown is really good. I also like the fried green tomatoes. I had a bite of my dad's fried chicken and it was really good. That's what they're known for so I guess that's what I should order next time. read more

I have always wanted to go here. I'm not sure why I didn't go in till now. I'm not really a big meat eater. So I was excited to see that they had tofu on their menu. So I decided to get the tofu meal with mac & cheese. Mac & cheese is amazing! It's almost better than my own mac & cheese! The tofu is great too. The only thing that I wish is that we got more tofu in the mail. It was $10 for three pieces. I was a bit disappointed to see that there was not more in the box. The pieces are quite tasty! I would compare them to thinly cut chicken taste. The sauces that they give you are also quite delightful! read more
Great place to meet up with friends. Ordering at the counter sorts out the checks, and the food is fantastic. It's like upscale country fare, you'll find all your favorite comfort foods, but made fresh on the high end. Everything was amazing. The Mac and cheese was hit for everyone, and so was the bread pudding. Honestly there was nothing to complain about. A bit on the pricey side for a lunch stop, it certainly worth it read more

After living in STL for years, I finally had the chance to try this place! Came with a group of friends on a Sunday afternoon, and we ordered at the counter first before being seated. We did have to wait a bit, but I like how they made sure there were seats available before taking orders. I ordered the hot honey chicken biscuit, and my friends got the buttermilk chicken biscuit, half chicken, and chicken fried chicken. I'm not sure if it was because I was starving or if the food was just that good (or both), but my goodness the fried chicken was so tender, juicy, perfectly breaded, and delicious. The pepper jelly that came on the biscuit was also bomb. It was the perfect amount of spice that balanced the rest of the meal. Not sure if the pepper jelly is for everyone (my friend did not like it lol) because it is a pretty unique flavor combo, but I personally loved it. Service was also 10/10! read more

Voted best fried chicken in Missouri by Food Network this place takes the title! The hot honey sauce on the wings is so amazing. The service was amazing because they even made a drink for me not on their menu sweet bourbon smash and it turned out so well! All the food was amazing. I will tell everyone if you haven't tried this place I definitely recommend it! read more

Came here in New Year's Eve before going out and it was very good! I got the original tenders with whiskey bbq sauce. I tried my brothers chicken (he got hot tenders) and those were also amazing. I paired it with a chocolate shake that was also a great addition to the meal. They do a great job at turning something so simple into some something amazing. read more
Grace Meat + Three came highly recommended from a friend of mine so I packed the wife and two dogs in the car and drove two hours to eat here. Now that I have eaten here I would tell you I would drive 5 hours to get there. This place is just truly amazing in every aspect. Service: the service was top notch. The gentlemen behind the counter was extremely nice and gave some recommendations that were spot on. Our serve was also very friendly and had a smile on his face the whole time. I enjoyed my interaction with the whole staff. Very friendly people which speaks volumes to the work environment. Atmosphere: it was a nice sunny day where it wasn't to warm so sitting outside with the puppies was perfect. There was about four picnic tables outside with a awning that provide some shade. Although we didn't eat inside it did look very comfortable and I'm sure I would have enjoyed it as well Food: the food was absolutely phenomenal. It was beyond what I expected and I had very high expectations for this place. My wife ordered the chicken strips and waffles which she said she enjoyed a lot. I tried them and agreed that they were quite delicious. I have never seen corn waffle before. Quite tasty!! I absolutely loved the soft shell crab eggs Benedict. The crab was cooked to perfection and the sauce matched with the crab perfectly. We also enjoyed the deviled eggs. I thought the spices aioli on them was a really superb addition. Last but not least if your a blood Mary fan then you must order one here. The bacon infused vodka is nuts. If I didn't have a two hour drive home I would have enjoyed three or four more of them. This is a must go too, highly recommend. A place I would go out of my way to eat at. read more
Awesome Family Style Meal! I don't normally like cornbread and I could have ate the entire tray alone if I didn't stop myself! The chicken was amazing! We got a full bird at the most basic spice level and I still thought it was kinda spicy but with ranch and comeback sauce was just fine! Super flavorful! Wish I woulda saved room for a shake, maybe next time! read more

I started this review pre-COVID and forgot all about it until I got a reminder just now that it was still only a draft. Great food! Great prices! Cool ambience. Was visiting and my friend took me here. I liked it. The food was delicious, easy to order, and great for those on a budget. I have no idea if they survived COVID. Hopefully they did. And if so, I'd suggest checking them out. read more

We just took a friend from CA here because he saw a Netflix show about their bologna. He was not disappointed and neither were we! I treated myself to a Peaches and Cream milkshake and it was the best decision. Plenty of room inside, excel soda fountain and friendly staff. Will be coming back again. read more
