    Lemon Meringue Pie

    I finally made it to Grace's on Kirby and left with mixed feelings. The dining area is a little compact (not super small though) but it's not a quiet, romantic spot. The main highlight was the 5 star service by Eric! He's enough to make me want to go back! I'll definitely ask for him every time! 2nd highlight is that cornbread because whew...bussin. Pair it with the collard greens and that's a five-star combo all day. I was undecided on what to order, so I went with the cajun stuffed chicken exactly as it comes, along with mac & cheese and collard greens. The meal wasn't bad, but it wasn't that good either. The chicken, I'd probably skip next time, I took most to go and it went bad cause I couldn't do it. Mac wasn't anything to write home about either but again, them greens and cornbread are absolutely getting reordered. My friend ordered the key lime pie and enjoyed it, so that seemed to be another solid choice. But back to the real MVP of the visit which was our server, Eric. He made menu suggestions without being pushy, kept my glass full the entire meal, was kind, patient, and anticipated what we needed before we even had to ask. That level of service is becoming harder to find, and it definitely elevated the experience. Overall, the food landed somewhere in the middle for me, but Eric's service easily pushed this visit to four stars. I'll definitely be back...mainly for that cornbread lol.

    My friend recommended Grace's for our weekly eating out routine. This was my first time here. I searched on Google and found the price range. I thought it has to be a fancy restaurant to begin with. I forgot to check the menu. For being vegetarian, this restaurant is lacking dishes for me. Not a single vegan option on the menu, sad. Not sure why Yelp says there is. I ordered a large Caesar Salad. It came drenched with cheese. It looked ridiculous and tasted extremely salty. If I said no cheese, this dish would have been just a plate of romaine lettuce with 6 crotons. What a sad feeling. My friend ordered a stuffed chicken with mashed potatoes and collard greens. He seemed enjoying it. The waiter was overly friendly and he kept pouring water into our glasses. He first warned us about the cornbread as second one will not be free. Heck. We barely touched it. It was too sweet for me and it has cheese. The crusty bottom seemed the only tasty part. Sigh. That was a no-go. The service was pretty good from entering to exiting. We came in pushing my friend on his wheelchair. Two employees already holding the doors open for us. Everyone was smiling and welcoming us. The hostess was a little overly enthusiastic. It kind of put me off. After reading the story and driving around to see the family restaurants, Mia's and Carrabba's, just around the corners. I think I'll be going to those restaurants next time.

    This is home cooking elevated while keeping true to its roots. I had pot roast with a twist, pork rather than the beef I'm accustomed to but it was so tender you didn't need a fork. Had a cup of gumbo too, just fabulous. Others at the table had fried chicken, chicken fried chicken, beef stroganoff and a variety of other dishes. Everyone left with smiles. Try the calamari too, nice crust and loved the sweet chili sauce. This is a nice setting to celebrate in.

    I enjoy coming here! The service was great. The food was great! My drink was great. I did sit at the kitchen bar and that was an cool experience. I wouldn't typically sit there, but if you want to see what the kitchen does and would like to get in to eat, that's a perfect spot.

    Went for my bday brunch on a Sunday with friends and family. Did a reservation on OpenTable and was only able to book the patio. The weather was good so it was ok. Actually, I'm happy we sat outside because the inside was so crowded and packed. Our server was really good, but they did forget our drink order- iced coffee and my sister mimosa. The shrimp and grits had good flavor with a small kick to it. The cornbread they give you at the beginning is very tasty! Everyone liked there food so no complaints. The place didn't wow me but it was pretty good.

    "A Birthday Dinner Done Right: Flavor, Service, and Vibes at Grace's" October 25, 2025 I know this review is well overdue, but better late than never. What an amazing experience my family and I had at Grace's! It was everyone's first time dining here, and it absolutely won't be our last. My daughter, Tatyana, chose Grace's to celebrate her 26th birthday, and I must say, she picked a winner! I made reservations in advance, and we were seated right away when we arrived: no waiting and no hassle. Service was impeccable. Our server, Bradley, was professional, welcoming, and genuinely friendly. He handled our party of ten with "Grace" and ease: smooth, attentive, and never rushed. The ambiance was just as impressive as the service. The dim lighting and soft music created a relaxing vibe, and I especially appreciated that the music wasn't blaring. We could actually hear one another and enjoy the moment. The cuisine is full of flavor and beautifully executed, with a unique cultural blend of Italian, Creole, and American influences. I also appreciated the background provided on the menu about "Grace," which helps explain the restaurant's culinary identity: Sicilian roots with Louisiana influence. Whatever the magic is, it works. The food was hands down some of the best restaurant cuisine I've ever had. Everything was beautifully plated, elegant, and appetizing. Food ratings: Jimmy G's Seafood Platter- 5/5 The texture of the fish and the onion rings were crunchy and perfectly-fried. Complimentary Cast Iron Cornbread- 5/5 This dish tastes like the warm welcome you didn't know you needed. It arrived at our table in style, piping hot with that signature skillet-baked edge, golden and crisp, which made the first bite give that little crackle sound before turning soft. The inside was tender and fluffy, with a sweet buttery crumb that melts as soon as it hits your tongue. The flavor is classic Southern comfort. Shrimp Stuffed Poblano- 5/5 This dish hits you in layers: smoky, creamy, and bright all at once. The poblano itself has that gentle roasted char: a slightly earthy, green-pepper flavor with just a warm whisper of heat that builds slowly instead of punching you in the mouth. Fajita Steak Y Enchilada- 5/5 This dish tastes like pure Tex-Mex comfort with a "treat yourself" upgrade. The steak has a tender chew, not rubbery, and it's the kind of flavor that instantly makes you want to chase it with a bite of Spanish rice or a warm tortilla. The tortilla is soft and soaked just enough to be silky, not soggy, and the filling tastes hearty and satisfying. Smoked Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich- 5/5 This is not your average cheesesteak sandwich. It tastes like a classic comfort-food favorite that's been given a bold, smoky makeover. The first thing I noticed was that deep, slow-smoked flavor, warm and woodsy, which made the beef taste richer than a standard cheesesteak. It's almost like a softer, juicier brisket-meets-steak vibe going on. Les Allison's Shrimp Tacos- 5/5 This dish tastes like the perfect coastal-Texas combo of fresh, crispy, creamy, and bright, all stacked into a warm corn tortilla. The shrimp is the star: flaky and tender on the inside, with a lightly seasoned, savory flavor that doesn't overpower that clean "fresh-from-the-sea" taste. The outside has that golden crunch that shatters a little when you bite into it, crispy, not greasy, and then immediately surrenders to soft, juicy flakes. Baked Potato Dip- 5/5 This dish is an appetizer and tastes like a loaded baked potato turned into pure, scoopable comfort. The dip is creamy, buttery, and rich like whipped potatoes while possessing a warm and savory "straight-from-the-oven" flavor. The chips makes the experience even better: crisp, salty, and solid, with a loud crunch that contrasts the silky dip perfectly. The two together make this dish creamy, crunchy, salty, tangy, smoky, and cheesy. Frozen Margarita with Strawberry Swirl- 5/5 This drink tastes like a frosty, sun-soaked treat that still means business, if you know what I mean. It feels icy and smooth as it hits your tongue while sweet and tart at the same time. The liquor is blended in just right; you can taste it, so it feels like a real margarita, and not a slushy, but it's not harsh or overpowering. It gives the drink a warm little backbone that sneaks up gently and makes each sip feel balanced and grown. Overall, I truly have no complaints about this establishment. It is an amazing place. The only downside is the 50-minute drive; if they opened a location in Cypress, I'd be there all the time! Parking is plentiful with a parking garage next door. Dress code is medium-formal, not too dressy but not underdressed. I highly recommend this upscale, welcoming, relaxing establishment. You will not be disappointed.

    The food is always amazing the fried chicken was very the yams were sweet but not overly sweet the greens were flavorful and the Mac and cheese creamy. The gumbo was ok. The drinks were good as well I enjoyed my French 75. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive but not overly attentive, we sat outside and the breeze was just right it was perfect weather to enjoy our food outside and see the atmosphere of the city.

    Hello everyone! Today was an awesome day to enjoy eating outside. I started with an Old Fashion. Good flavor. Then I ordered a strawberry lemonade to go with the food. Taste like homemade lemonade. Now when the main meal came, the fried chicken was hot and seasoned. Everything on the plate was seasoned great flavor. I had a gumbo before the chicken and that was great. The Service was perfect! He gave me everything I wanted. Come and try for yourself!

    Excellent excellent delicious food at this restaurant. Beautiful holiday decor and the food was outstanding. I am an out of towner here otherwise I'd be a regular Alyssa was our server and the service was 100/10. Highly Recommended

    I went on a Sunday near the end of brunch, and I probably won't do that again for a few reasons. It was crowded, loud, and they automatically add a 20% gratuity during brunch, even for a party of one. That said, I would return because the experience wasn't bad overall--I'd just choose a different day and time next time.

    I had an amazing experience at Grace's!! I came here to celebrate my birthday last month with two friends from out of town who wanted to try southern food. The food, decor, and service here were amazing. We wanted to try this restaurant as we were looking to try the best corn bread in the area. The jalapeno corn bread that is served here was way better than I had expected. It was seasoned well and not dry at all! We ordered Chicken fried chicken and Cajun fried chicken to share. Both entrees were extremely good, but the sides unfortunately fell short. The collard greens were a tad bit too salty & the mac & cheese was a little bland for our liking. The mashed potatoes were our favorite side. Our server, Ned, was extremely kind to our table and provided us a great dining experience!

    NaPorshe R.

    The atmosphere is always nice here. We sat inside, came in around 9pm. We were seated at a table near the bar, that room can be a little noisy but nothing major. They stop seating people at 9:45pm. Our waiter was very friendly and polite. We ordered the Cajun stuffed chicken with Mac & cheese and Brussels sprouts. 10/10! Also, we ordered the grilled chicken, Mac and cheese, with candied yams. 10/10!! Everything was cooked perfectly and seasoned well. I've never had a bad experience here. The drinks we ordered were Kirby Sidecars. You can't go wrong with those, they're strong and one does the trick!

    Do they have chicken fried steak?

    I don't recall seeing chicken fried steak on their menu. I don't believe they have it. You can always ask sometime a restaurant will special order it for you.

    Do they do separate check?

    Yes they do have separate checks, Only time it's one check is when you reserve the party room

    Is your patio dog friendly?

    Think I saw a sign that said service dogs only.

    I might have just found one of my new favorite restaurants in Houston. What a great experience!…read more Recently, a good friend dined here and immediately called me to tell me how great it was. She then text our friends group and said we all had to come together and we did just that. She made reservations in advance as this place is popular thanks to recent Michelin Bib Gourmand awards as well as many other accolades. Walk ins are welcome as well. Our reservation was later in the evening so after a night of bar hopping, we ride shared in which I think is one of the best options as parking is limited here or you have to find street parking in the neighborhood. This place is literally a house turned into a restaurant. Inside is just multiple rooms with a couple of tables. It makes for a unique, intimate dining experience, perfect for a date night. In our case, we were a group of nine so we got patio seating. The patio is spacious and well kept, and if the weather cooperates, a great place to hang. One thing that really stood out to me is the amazing ambience of this place. I was told that the bartenders pick the music for the night from the owners extensive vinyl collection. Once the album is in, they play it in it's entirety. The sound system was systeming and on top of the great company and food, we were totally vibing with the music. Customer service was amazing. Every staff member we came across was so friendly, especially our server. The menu here changes. There are some mainstays, but they like to change things up. Their website shows current menus daily. We were told that family style is the best way to experience this restaurant. I am one of those people that will always listen to the staff and go with their suggestions. Our group went through quite a bit of their menu from apps, entrees and desserts. I loved that our server and staff brought our food out one by one in what they thought was the best progression so we could take a culinary journey. We started off light with their popular Dilly Bread. Best bread I've had in awhile. Next was the Texas Tartare. It was my first ever tartare and it was delicious. We then moved on to Fingerlingin Good which was a crispy potato dish with chili crisp and mascarpone. It was potatoes elevated to the highest level and so so good. Next up was Beer Battered Sweet Tots. I didn't think sweet potatoes could be that good. Our first entree was a vegan dish called the Carroty Kid. I could seriously become a vegan if all dishes tasted like this. It was curried. A bowl of jasmine rice would've made it a complete meal. Next we tried another famous Nobie's dish called Nonno's Pasta. Handmade, perfectly cooked tagliatelle with a delicious bolognese. I wouldn't share this next time. Ok, I will, but it was that good. On to the heavier dishes. First up was the Jamon With Your Bad Self. This came highly recommended and it did not disappoint. It was favorite heavy entree. It was high quality, iberico pork steak with shaved brussels and all kinds of other tasty ingredients that when combined made such a tasty bite. We then went to the sea with the Drops of Grouperter. It was good, but not something I would order again. It was a little too smoky for my liking. Our biggest dish that came market priced was the Kick His Ass Seabass. This was a whole fish that was presented beautifully on a platter with all the accouterments to make your own elevated fish tacos. We left no morsel of fish behind. It was absolutely delicious. One of the things this place is really known for is their pies. This was the part I was most excited about. Just like their menu, their pies change up. We got all their offerings that night which they presented on one big platter of goodness. Their main stay and I believe always on the menu is the famous Olive Oil Cake. It's not a pie, but I can see why this is such a popular dessert. I can't even describe it, you just have to try it to understand. The pies we had were the Black Bottom Strawberry Pie, Banana Rum, and the Peanut Butter Pie. I would order all of them again. We all had a difference of opinion on which was the best, but my fave was the Banana Rum. Overall, I was highly impressed with this place and kind of mad at myself for waiting so long to make it here. It had made it's way to the top of my list of favorite restaurants in Houston. I will be back.

    Houston has done it again! I'm going to be a little controversial here, but why is the food so much…read morebetter here than it is it Dallas? Had a 5:30pm resy, seated outside right away that Saturday evening--it was a full house 45 minutes later. You'd be a fool to skip the dilly bread--a complete fool! The rolls are pillowy and warm. I could eat the butter by the pint. The fingerlinging potato dish is also a must have...pretty small for $19 but tastes like heaven. Spicy! Zaddy was being a bit of a clutz that evening and knocked over my $20 mezcal cocktail, so what does he do? Orders me another one! (That's why he's "zaddy") ....kind of wish he hadn't...so wasn't worth the price tag. Skip it. The chicken dinner was definitely the winner--fresh, juicy breast, crispy skin...don't be cute, you won't finish it unless your party has at least 4 in it! The flies were ruthless! Very annoying! They were acting like the geekers that come bother you just outside your favorite fried chicken joint in south Dallas! Our waitress brought out a table fan so that made the experience a little more tolerable. The chocolate peanut butter pie tasted like a salt rock and the lemon chiffon pie had great flavor but not lemony enough for me. All in all this place is a bit pricey but truly a gem! Until next time, Nobie!

    I visited on a weekend morning. We tried to come early thinking they might get busy. I was…read moresurprised the parking lot was already full at 10:30am. I parked on a nearby street by mandell park. They have a separate bar and separate restaurant. I first entered the bar area. The line was long and I almost waited in it not realizing that the actual restaurant was right next door! The restaurant itself was spacious and had plenty of seating. They accommodated a baby and we saw a couple of other families present. I had always heard the Toasted Coconut was vegetarian friendly but there wasn't that many vegetarian options on the menu. The menu in the past had a vegetarian sandwich, but it looks like this has since been removed. I got the onion hash which was a large egg dish with black beans and potatoes. It was good and I had enough leftover to take home for another meal. I also tried the cauliflower wings. The sauce was a strong sweet and sour flavor (just a little too strong for my liking) and the cauliflower was crispy. I would order this again. I got the zinger mocktail and it was tasty with a nice kick to it. Service was friendly! Overall would return.

    I'm landing right in the middle on this one because the food is genuinely great, the drinks are…read moredelicious, and they offer a ton of vegetarian options. The overall vibe is casual and welcoming, making it a great place to grab a few drinks with friends or coworkers. The indoor and outdoor seating options are nice when Houston isn't blistering hot. Parking can be tough, though, since the lot is shared with a couple of other restaurants. That said, this recent visit was overshadowed by what was easily the most awkward and least customer-focused service experience I've had here. I was dining with a group of friends, and one friend ordered a meal to eat there along with another item to go. There was a little confusion when the order was placed, but we thought everything had been clarified. When the food arrived, both items were served on plates for the table. We politely explained that one of them was supposed to be a to-go order. It turned out the server had entered an additional order and believed we wanted both items for the table. What bothered me wasn't the mistake itself--those happen. It was the response. There was no apology, and instead we were told the misunderstanding was due to how we had communicated the order. We decided to keep all the food and move on, but the interaction felt unnecessarily defensive. I came a little late and was looking at the menu and asked whether they still had the fried eggplant dish that had been on the menu before. The response was simply, "No." No explanation, no follow-up, just an awkward silence. It set the tone for the rest of the interaction. So I decided to let her know I'll continue to look. This response was so uncomfortable that I later decided not to order anything at all. At one point, the server mentioned she had overheard us talking about having a "crazy weekend" and seemed to use that as an explanation for the earlier confusion. Whether there was miscommunication on both sides or not, the overall experience felt unnecessarily tense. I've typically had wonderful experiences here, which is why this visit stood out so much. The food, drinks, and atmosphere are still reasons I'd come back, but please avoid assigning Naya to customers if she's not willing to be a bit more cordial.

    Cannot say enough good things about this place. Have had lunch here and now dinner. We first…read morevisited in The Woodlands. Such a good experience that we went last night for date night. First, we got there pretty early for our reservation. We sat almost immediately upon check in. Our waiter was in training but did a really good job. Ordered a whiskey sour. Was seated at the bar so I got to watch it be made. The bartender- man that guy never stopped. He was organized and just did his thing. So many pretty drinks were made while I was there watching. The pink one, whatever it was, was really pretty! On to the food. We got two apps, two meals, and two desserts. Husband ordered the Brussels, Steak Frites, and the Devil's Affogato. I got the Bacon covered Dates, the Pizza, and the Sticky Toffee Cake. The Brussels were good - husband liked them more than me. They were good. Had cashews in them. Little spicy. The bacon covered dates. Think this was my favorite bite. Sweet, salty, creamy. Came we three & I had two. The pizza was sweet and salty as well. The crust was so good and fresh. The arugula set it off so well. Def a buy again! The Steak Frites was so good. The chimichurri sauce was perfect. Just the right mount of citrus. Steak was tender and the fries seasoned well. The desserts - don't skip them! The Devils Affogato we had the first time we ate at Sixty Vines. Had to have it again. If you like coffee, chocolate and vanilla ice cream just get it. Restaurant vibe is relaxed and clean. There were several large parties and what looked like a lot of date night guests. Just try it. No regrets!!

    I was looking for restaurants in the area that I hadn't tried yet and came across George's. I'd…read morenever even heard of it, but the menu looked good and the reviews were solid, so I figured it was worth a shot. It's located in Rice Village, and there was plenty of parking. The restaurant itself is cozy, and the entire staff seemed like one big family, which gave it a really welcoming feel. I went with my family, and we started with the calamari and tuna tartare. For my entrée, I ordered the pesto bucatini. If I'm being honest, the food just didn't do it for me. The calamari was simply fried with no noticeable seasoning or standout dipping sauce. The pesto bucatini was pretty underwhelming too. It was very heavy on the mint with just a hint of pistachio crumbs, and the pesto flavor I was hoping for never really came through. Pesto pasta is usually one of my favorite dishes, but this one honestly felt like a waste of carbs. The positives were definitely the service and the atmosphere. I just wish the food had lived up to everything else.

    Bucatini. Nice chew and flavor but some in our party would have liked it cooked just a tad longer.

    Historically significant. Excellent food as you can see from the reviews…read more So I'll just post photos. My default ? Lemon cod, tabouli, coconut pie. The fried chicken is not good enough to recommend. As you will see, George M., the manager did respond to my comment. And I thank him for his response. (Though I was amused by how he phrased his response). Keep in mind. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Cleburne. I grew up in a Houston with Picadilly, Weldon's, Brittain's, Luby's, Wyatt's and more. Cafeterias in the 50's and 60's were an important way for families to dine out economically, and go to for the Sunday after church dinner. I visit Cleburne as often as possible, and my wife and I still reminisce about the matriarch at the register who could calculate everyone's bill in her head as they showed up to pay. Such wonderful memories. But as a person who has done fried chicken for decades, creating The Fried Chicken Blog (www.thefriedchickenblog.com) to document the fried chicken picnics in the German Czech communities of central Texas, and having fun with many different fried chicken recipes, I read his response about his chicken being one of the "best in the country," with amusement; so I will leave it up to you. Look at the photo of the dry, fried chicken on JUne 15, 2026, and then compare it to the photo I have just added for what I think fried chicken would look like at the best places (One example would be Barbecue Inn on Crosstimbers). There are some tricks to fried chicken. That is, once you decide on which traditional method you choose to go with. Example of one such: The batter of course, where you add a little moisture into the flour before the dipping and frying so that pieces of the wetted flour clump and will be picked up. Getting back to the Cleburne recipe. My guess is that this is one of the classic Southern, dredge in flour and pan fry, but not a buttermilk soak, dip, dredge, redip, dredge, fry method. This one is more akin to the classic skillet fry method and a simpler flour coating (I'm guessing). Which can be really good. But for me, I'd say, pass on the fried chicken and go for one of their other entrees.

    This place is great! It is a cafeteria style place. The workers are so helpful and the portions…read moreare large. Come hungry. I had the chicken fried steak, and it was solid. The vegetable sides were good. The bathrooms and kitchen were clean. There was plenty of parking and places to sit inside.
