    To go seasoning
    Jo Nell R.

    Had to stop in one more time in the Grove before they close. We typically visit either location based on proximity of our location. I loved this original location but love Crestwood, too. Great cod, I love it. It was pretty busy with diners, but we were lucky to be only a few in line. Order at the counter, cashier today was super friendly and that always sets the tone. I went with fried chicken livers as an app and 2 piece fried catfish with fries. I went with the special cocktail, too. Livers arrived; they are all for me! I ate a few and then saved the rest for a snack later. They are fried, but not greasy, a light breading with good flavor. My drink was delivered, I was a little nervous about cherry and orange together, but it was quite good, very refreshing. My picture of the drink name didn't save properly but I think it was the Island Dream, don't quote me on it, though! Food delivered hot and fresh, I got some tarter sauce from the condiment/ drink bar area but I used the Crystal hot sauce, too. The catfish was fresh, crispy, and delicious. The fries were ok this time. I got a bunch of crunchy ones. Everything was good, might try to stop in for Brunch on Saturday but it will probably be crazy! Go experience the Grove and know you can get a lot of the great food at the Crestwood location next time!

    OG Crispy

    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.

    Fried Chicken livers
    Danielle M.

    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

    Grace Horseshoe & Mac and Cheese
    Emily W.

    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!

    Parking in the area is a little tenuous

    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!!!

    The Sandwich
    Miranda G.

    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!

    Fish and Spaghetti
    Xhané P.

    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!

    Grace Burger + OG Cripsy
    Thao N.

    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.

    A group of 4 of us had breakfast here. We were happy they were open on a Tuesday morning because…read moremany places are not. It is easy to pass by the place because biggest sign on building is for donut shop that previously occupied the space. We were the only people in dining there for most of the time. The waiter was nice but a little different too. He was happy to answer questions and share his thoughts on menu items. In fact he actually hung out at our table a little too long- we wanted to get on with our conversations. Ha. Anyway I had the avocado toast with an egg on top- it was huge order. And very good. They sprinkle crunchy mix on top of the avocado- seeds mostly and lettuce under it - a great combo of texture and flavor esp with a creamy green sauce with it. I tasted my friends Milque Toast and it was very good but definitely sweet. Think bread pudding.

It was interesting and visually impressive, although I would say the taste may not be everyone's cup of tea. The Norwegian pancakes were also beautifully presented. They looked very much like crêpes and, to me, tasted very similar to crêpes as well. The coffee was probably one of the more interesting parts of the experience. It was made with Indonesian coffee and green Indonesian spices that gave it a unique color and appearance that reminded me a little of matcha. Definitely something different to try. I initially ordered bacon and eggs, but unfortunately they were out of bacon. What surprised me was that there really wasn't another side available to substitute for it, so I ended up choosing something completely different. I also asked about sampling something before ordering and learned that they do not offer samples. Overall, this is a very visually appealing and unique dining experience with some interesting flavor combinations. I think it's a great place for someone who enjoys trying something a little different, but some of the flavors and menu options may not appeal to everyone.

I opted for the bar. Later I did see other guests arrive that were not fancy either, so I felt better. You could be fancy and fit right in, though. Angela was my server at the bar and she was top notch! Giving me time to review the menu but also jumping in to answer questions. I wanted to try a drink and the cocktails look amazing so I will have to come back to try a couple, they had a list of Spirit Free and I went with the Stappi Spritz. It was bright and refreshing with a bit of bitter and I really enjoyed it. So many food options looked good, I took a bit to decide and then went with the Starter of Oeufs et Mayo and would go from there. When it arrived I felt it looked like a dish on a cooking competition show - it was so pretty. Angela indicated a great way to eat it was to get a scoop of everything and put it on the LF grilled bread and that is what I did! So very good! All the flavors went well together, the burst of salty goodness from the trout roe and the grilled bread, fantastic. Even with so many other Plates to try, I will have a hard time not ordering those jammy eggs again. Extras included Crispy Fingerling Potatoes fried with rosemary and served with romesco aioli, they were good and a large enough serving to share. The rosemary is definitely part of the dish but I ordered with the knowledge that I now like rosemary. I also wanted to try the Sage and Fennel Sausage, they were in patty form and the order came with 2 and they were large. It was decent, I wanted more sage and fennel for my taste. Angela set me up with go boxes so I could enjoy my meal again as leftovers! Great food, great service. Can't wait to go back again!

Upon entering, the bar & tables match the door with a light wooden grain, accented by the bare brick wall along with greens, reds, and black fixtures. Despite the upscale, minimalistic vibe, it's still cozy & inviting, especially with the help of the staff. The staff here are definitely a key piece in why this place is amazing. Our server was very helpful in explaining the menu and drinks, and was super attentive to us throughout our dining experience. Because everything on the menus sounded so good, we got stuck a few times and our server gave some great input to help us decide on what to get. The staff create such a friendly & warm vibe that invites you in and helps you feel comfortable. Moving onto the food & drinks, we started by browsing the cocktail and wine menus. Everything sounded so good so we had a tough time deciding what we wanted, but we settled on the Corner Office & the Paradiso, both of which were delicious! The root beer infusion in the Corner Office was a very nice touch and added a unique flavor I don't get to taste with bourbon very often. The menu leans heavily towards small plates and shareable large plates, similar to a tapas-style restaurant. We were pretty torn on what to get, and as mentioned earlier, our server gave us some great input on what we may like given our palates. With her help, we started with the Crispy Artichokes, Crispy Green Tomatoes, and Carne Cruda. We were pretty excited about the Crispy Artichokes, but were somewhat disappointed as they were pretty bland, though the sauce helped a bit. The Crispy Green Tomatoes were probably our favorite as the flavor, texture, and basil yogurt sauce all meshed together incredibly well! In addition, the crispy green tomatoes were garnished with yellow & red pepper slices which added an eye-catching pop of color to the dish. Lastly, the Carne Cruda was a new one for us as we haven't had beef tartare before, so while we were hesitant going into it, we were pleasantly surprised by the rich flavor of the beef complimented by the mustard seed. Our only gripe was that the chips they serve with the beef tartare were incredibly salty, and while I understand that the salty crunch is crucial for the dish, the salt overwhelmed the flavor of everything else and made it hard to enjoy which was unfortunate. For the larger plate, we ultimately decided to split the Pork Chop. Normally, I'm not a big fan of pork chops, but the 'nduja marinade was flavorful without being overpowering and complimented both the pork as well as the corn polenta perfectly. We were happily surprised with how good the dish was, with the polenta really being the star for us. To finish things off, I ordered a dessert cocktail that I can't quite recall the name of. It was a mix of whiskey with a coconut cream and a few other add-ins, I believe. Regardless, it was one of my favorites and was a nice way to end our experience at Little Fox. Overall, we were surprised in some areas (the vibe & cocktails especially) and a little underwhelmed in others (namely the artichokes & the saltiness of the chips with the tartare). Maybe I hyped it up in my mind too much, but the food wasn't quite as show-stopping as I was hoping. At the end of the day, though, I really enjoyed the experience and will likely return in the future.
