    Shrimp
    Akilah H.

    I've been here a few times years ago. This was my first time here in about 4 years. I ordered the 2 piece fish and 9 shrimp. This visit, the food was decent. The quality of fish went down to me. I didn't understand why the fish was paper thin. Idk what type of fish this is or if they cut it this thin but I didn't appreciate that. I would give it another try but if I get paper thin fish again then I doubt I'd return.

    If there was a list for Houston's top beat kept secrets of consistent tasty foods that have been operating for a minimum of a couple decades... this one would definitely be on there. The fried fish and shrimp - amazing would be an understatement. Their secret is to just produce simple fried fish... simplicity is really hard to pull off. Not greasy, great batter - all contributing to be able to eat more.

    Pretty darn good.. when i walked in i was expecting this fishy smell but qas pleasantly surprised that i did not. The place is your typical you buy we fry offering several combos of catfish or trout with regular or jumbo shrimp. I opted for the catfish and jumbo shrimp. They both were fried well and the service was good. I would only ask for more seasoning, but i would recommend if your on this side of town.

    The yummy house sauce is the freaking best... it's so good... I'm still thinking about it a few…read moredays later... We got the 6 Ibs medium spice level with corn and potatoes. Unfortunately adding corn and potato's is an additional cost but it's so worth it. Curious to try the leftover sauce with the rice next time We also got the gulf oysters which came with your typical oyster dressings. They were so fresh and plump!!! Next time I would try the premium seasonal oysters :)

    I really wanted this to be a hit. Seafood, oysters, alcohol....vibes and a time right? It wasn't…read more I tried the bang bang shrimp, fried pickles, and chargrilled oysters. Something simple that should be an easy win. Unfortunately, everything leaned the same direction: either it was heavy, over-sauced, or overly garlicky. It tasted more like dressed-up frozen food than something thoughtfully prepared. And listen...I don't mind indulgent. But there still has to be balance and fresh food. Fresh like it was raw and delivered today, not fresh like fried in the last 15 mins. When everything is coated, covered, and competing, nothing actually stands out. The drinks didn't help either. They leaned hard on alcohol without much flavor behind them--more "this will get you there" than "this tastes good." Nothing was terrible. But nothing made me want another bite, either. And with seafood, that's kind of the whole point. The atmosphere is friendly, great music, and the service was very attentive. Even the presentation wasn't bad. It just wasn't enough. But at some point, you stop asking what's missing and just accept that it's not landing. I was still hungry so I went next door hoping for a better experience. I want to be clear: It's not bad. It's just not working.

    We recently celebrated my mother-in-law's birthday at State of Grace, and it was truly an…read moreexceptional dining experience. From the moment we arrived, the service was out of this world. The front hostess, Annabella, was incredibly welcoming and helpful, making us feel valued from the start. Our waiter was equally amazing and attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely dedicated to ensuring we had a wonderful evening. We started with the deviled eggs and crab beignets, both of which were absolutely delicious. Their French onion soup was hearty. Drinks were fabulous too. For our meal, we ordered the mashed potatoes, cacio e pepe, pork schnitzel, blackened fish, miso fish, and burger, and every dish was perfectly prepared and packed with flavor. The restaurant went above and beyond by surprising my mother-in-law with a birthday dessert (upon my request when I had originally booked it), which was such a thoughtful touch and made the celebration even more memorable. We also enjoyed the pecan ball and chocolate soufflé, and both were outstanding. Between the incredible food, impeccable service, and special attention to our celebration, State of Grace exceeded all expectations. Annabella, our waiter, and the entire staff made the evening feel truly special. Easily one of the best dining experiences we've had in Houston, and we can't wait to return! I will be planning a girls night there soon!

    The pickled shrimp was just ok. Not enough flavor to me, just a mix of some ingredients…read more The oysters and accompaniments were great. Presentation was nice. Hollywood, va voom and metagorda all similar in taste to each other. The maison salad was delicious. Butter lettuce with the toppings and sauce was just enjoyable. The butter burger sliders were good. Just would like it thicker as it's too much bun. The cookie on the way out was so awesome, I almost went back in to grab another. Gingerbread I think. Avery was a wonderful bartender and kept up with entertaining conversations and was attentive to all service needs. Tried the g4 tequila reposado and it was very easy drinking.
