Ash Wednesday! Had to visit Grace to get that cod! Lots of young people running the store on this visit and they were crushing it! From taking orders, running food, cleaning tables, and handling carry out they were impressive. I got the cod and stole some of my husband's fries. I usually try to eat one piece and save the other for leftovers, but it was so good, I ate both. Great experience, great food! read more

I had the Buffalo Soldier sandwich... it's a taste my mouth will water for forever! Also, staff are genuinely nice and I thought it'd be hard to find a seat, but it wasn't. They keep a good flow. read more

The cashier was very friendly and helpful. We had high expectations for the food. We got two two-pieces of dark, an order of deviled eggs, two fountain beverages with a medium Mac-and-Cheese. It cost close to $49. The chicken wasn't crispy and had little flavor but at least it was freshly fried. The deviled eggs had a bit of a fishy flavor. Maybe anchovies were used? The topping on the Mac and Cheese which should have been crispy was weirdly chewy. The rest of the Mac-and-cheese was really yummy and well executed. For the price it should have been outstanding when I was barely good. Schnuck's and KFC are much better especially when considering the price. I don't think we will go back. Super sad that it wasn't amazingly good. read more

Southern soul kitchen, hospitality, home cooking are the roots you can count on. We thought it was great. I love catfish po boy, and we happened to try this on 314 day (ifykyk) there was a special sandwich collab for the day. I did have a wait for my food, I think it was a fluke but the manager maybe owner offered me a free dessert for the wait issue that was very nice of them I didn't even mind my wait. Big fan of the style and the Louisiana menu. I'll be back. Love STL read more

Stopped in for a lunch and the catfish was our favorite. The deviled eggs were good but a little mustardy for our liking. The salad was really good. It was loaded. The restaurant is clean and simple. They were quick to bring our food out to us. Will be back for the catfish for sure read more

When we first arrived we were greeted by friendly staff that helped us order. We ordered the fried green tomatoes and they were so delicious. Tastier than any fried green tomatoes I have ever had. So much flavor. My wife and I split the surf and turf, which is 2 chicken wings, 4 shrimp and 2 catfish filets with 2 sides. Everything was hot fresh and delicious. Perfectly cooked and very well seasoned. We even got a chance to visit with the owner who is a very pleasant person to talk with. We really enjoyed ourselves. read more

Everything was great! Food was perfect and really hit the spot for the fried chicken craving I was having.

Counter service fast food chicken place with friendly staff who will deliver your food at your table. I was very glad when I heard another chicken and fish place was taking over the spot of Crestwood's OG - King Edward's. Outside of the building has been redone and yes, the inside as well. While there are large screens displaying the menu and the place has clearly experienced some much needed face-lift, I was really hoping for food quality that would grab me and never let go. It is worth noting that the menu items appear to be a la carte. I love fried green tomatoes so I ordered that off of their appetizer menu and a buffalo chicken sandwich, no modification. My husband had the 3 piece fried chicken and a medium order of fries. My buffalo chicken sandwich was good but not exactly mind blowing. The chicken was lukewarm but perhaps because they were waiting for my husband's fried chicken? No, that was not it. I tried his fried chicken, it was okay and slightly warm. They could have benefited from a little more seasoning. The FGT were made of pickled tomatoes. I have nothing against pickles, I love them in fact but I like the traditional non pickled FGT. Just a preference and I don't remember seeing this noted as "pickled" on the menu. There are other things I'd like to try from here someday such as the fish and their collard greens side. I really hope my next visit is an improvement from this initial one. I haven't given up yet, that menu list has a good variety of options and I am bound to find the one. read more

Worst fried chicken I've ever had. Not saying that to be sensational. It was SOGGY, like it was boiled in water instead of fried. Is that how it's supposed to be, or did something horrible happen to my order? Isn't fried chicken supposed to be crispy? The answer is yes. But it was not. Bleh. Trash. I tried an original chicken thigh and a hot chicken thigh. Both soggy. The Mac and cheese was average if I'm being charitable. The slaw was pretty good, as was the cornbread. The "comeback" sauce tastes like a variant of 1000 island which I'm not interest in putting on fried chicken. I was looking forward to trying this place, but it's just not good. What a bummer. And it's expensive. I spent $35 bucks for all that. I'm never going back. One and done read more

Grace Chicken Fish - SOGGY chicken thighs! Imagine fried chicken, but dipped in water. Yes really. - Fish & Chips Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

It was very unorganized and not the cleanest place for having just opened this location. The sandwiches don't come with sides. I ordered hush puppies with high expectations and they were subpar. Everything tasted like it was seasoned the same...fries, Mac and cheese, chicken. You know what was delicious though? The fried pickles. You order at a counter and get a table number. Someone from behind the counter brings you your food. You are responsible for cleaning your own table off and getting your own boxes from an area that was not the cleanest. I adore the other location and their food truck, but this location is not it. read more

My first time here. I love Buffalo sauce so I ordered the Buffalo Soldier. It was really tasty. It had a large chicken breast, lettuce, pepper jack cheese, pickles, and onion straws. The flavors worked well together and it was a good size sandwich. The Grace Fries are crinkle cut and had a nice dusting of seasoning. Instead of ketchup, I used the Comeback sauce. The service was fast and friendly and the decorations were bright and fun. We'll be back. read more

GCF has been unfairly compared to the beloved icon, King Edward's. GCF is not like KingE nor is it trying to be. King is delicious value indulgence while GCF is trying to put a spin on that traditional comfort food, so I will judge GCF purely on taste for this review. I stopped by on a whim when I saw the parking lot was less crowded. I ordered the cat nuggets and it was what I expected. Delicious lightly breaded catfish with corn meal. The seasoning was on the salty side (I have less tolerance than most in terms of salt) so I would encourage to order a drink to go with the meal. Three out of five for now as I want to experience consistentcy and other things on the menu on planned numerous visits in the near future. Although slightly higher than competitors, prices are still reasonable. read more

So, so excited that there's a closer location to me! The place was busy (second weekend it's open), but the owner and staff were on top of things! My husband ordered the Buffalo Soldier sandwich. He said it had just the right amount of ranch to cool off the buffalo. He really enjoyed it. I had the Filet-o-Grace, and it was a really good combination of flavors. We split a regular order of fries with a side of pimiento queso. Yum! The fries are well seasoned and don't "need" anything with them -- but the queso was so worth it. They have a selection of local soft drinks and alcoholic options and a few dessert options. They also have a space to get some sauces for your food. Love it and look forward to bringing someone with me to share some fried green tomatoes, as well as to work my way through the menu. Kudos, Grace! read more

The latest location of Grace. Dangerous because it is so much closer to home than the location the The Grove! We tried a couple of different things, including the Cajun crawfish bread which was spicy and tasty! The chicken strips are always good and the sides were fresh and well seasoned! The rest of the menu seems to mirror the original location. Sounds like brunch is coming soon, but not available yet. Space is limited because of the space, but table emptied fairly quickly when we were there. Just be a little patient and you'll be fine! We wondered if because of the way the room is laid out, that they may try just having 3 long communal tables. The location is clean and bright, with minimal decoration. The ones that we saw had fun designs. A small issue, they do charge for sauce for chicken strips (my daughter got ranch for $1) but there's a station by the drinks where you can get your own cups for free. Can't wait to eat my way through the menu! read more

My mom and I had a great lunch at Grace! This is super close to my house, so I'm super excited that I finally got to check it out. There's a large lot with parking, so you shouldn't have any issues with finding a spot. You order at the counter, you're given a number, and then they run the food out to you. We started with an order of fried pickles and they were delicious! They have a spice in the batter that gave them a little bit of a kick. The sauce they were served with was legit. I got the "Everything but the Kitchen Sink" salad and it was really great. I'm a huge fan of everything but the bagel seasoning and this had a good amount of it. It also came with one of their deviled eggs that everyone always talks about, so being able to try that with the salad was great. Ranch was good on the salad (always a telling sign). Their sandwiches look pretty fire so I plan on trying those next time I'm in :) read more

I'm on the fence. I struggle with this review because I really respect the OG location for everything the owner did for people during Covid, but I was so overwhelmed by this location and disappointed. I'll start with a positive, the entire staff was so fantastic and friendly and helpful. Even though you order out a counter, they still bring you your food and are attentive like a server would be in a restaurant. The location is good with lots of windows so you get the sunshine inside the restaurant. Now onto the negative. Unfortunately, all of the food we had was not great. I got the fish and it was so overcooked and unseasoned that no amount of sauce could save it. Considering the very high price point for the food, that was even more shocking that it was so poorly executed. For two small pieces of battered cod that barely cover a slice of white bread, it was $15, almost $20 after tax and tip. It does not include any sides and again, was so overcooked and bland that it was borderline inedible. read more

Grace's new location is a evolution of their food truck. The service was attentive and nice. The food was delicious and fresh.i had the catfish - it was packed full of flavor without being greasy. I tried the cod as well. I'd say the catfish is probably their signature dish. We got an order of hush puppies for the table - crispy on outside and soft on inside with a little heat from hatch chilies. We also got a side order of Mac - so good! The buffalo soldier was just okay.. read more

New location in Crestwood! They have a slightly different menu offering vs the location in Tower Grove, but all great options! I opted for the extra hot 3 tender meal with fries and a drink. It wasn't crazy spicy, but it had great flavor! The fries are crinkle cut and soo good. The sauces were all amazing - my favorites were the whiskey bbq and bama sauce. So good! The pickles here are fresh and a perfect add to hot chicken. Grace Chicken + Fish is counter serve and then you are able to find your own table. We went around 1pm on a Sunday and it was quite crowded actually, so plan accordingly! Everyone was very nice and they were bussing tables as fast as they could. Overall ambiance wasn't as chill as the one in Tower Grove, it had a very hectic vibe and felt crowded. Overall food was good and parking was easy! read more

My friend recommended Grace Chicken & Fish. The food was good, but unfortunately expensive. I was disappointed my wife was charged an extra $1.50 for her side of Mac & Cheese. The menu didn't mention this added fee. The food was presented on a tray with a paper place mat which the oil/grease easily soaked through and then tore through when using the knife and fork. Had high expectations, but we won't likely return. read more

We had problems negotiating the online menu to order versus their actual offerings so we called for carry out. The order was for 3 ppl and once placed on the phone it was ready in about 20 minutes. We picked it up but discovered once home that one of the meals were missing, though we had paid for it. Someone had to go back with a receipt to get the missing meal. They apologized and gave us a brownie to compensate for the lapse. I had the battered cod which was pretty good but the garnish served with it was not good and there was no tartar sauce or malt vinegar so I made some tartar sauce at home . Also had fries and cole slaw. The fries were good. Cole slaw was okay. Another in our group had the crawfish bread with fries. He said they were both good. The third in our party had fried chicken (legs) sweet potatoes and coleslaw. She wanted mashed potatoes but they only had the mashed sweet potatoes which she said were just okay. This establishment is close to home and was replacing the king Edward's chicken and fish establishment. Honestly they were better and maybe graces will improve once they settle in to the neighborhood. The dining room is bright and cheery though frankly it's a better take out place. I think it's a toss up if we go back, which is a bummer since it's in the neighborhood and so close. read more

Grace Chicken Fish - Menu - Fish & Chips Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

Very friendly staff. I had the fried cod ($16) with a side of Cole slaw (2.50$). Dad had the fried catfish platter ($15 - came with fries, and drink). All of it was good. And they put their seasoning on it so if you don't want that you'll need to tell them. But the seasoning spice is good (maybe old bay mix of some sort). But is was expensive for what it is. 2 pieces of fried cod for 16$ is too expensive- no sides included. I felt like I was in a fried fast food shop at a bus station. I'd go back and likely to have a fried fish sandwich read more

My husband and I had a late lunch there today. We started with the fried green tomatoes. They came out quickly and hot. The coating fell off when I cut the tomatoe, little seasoning, but a tasty dipping sauce. I had the shrimp powboy with a side of greens. They should clean the shrimp better, I found several 'veins' when I took a bite. It was very messy, I had to cut the sandwich to eat it. It too needed more seasoning. My husband had fried cod and fries. He said his was good. We were the only customers, a man came in, the staff never acknowledged him so he left. The staff were VERY loud, laughing sharing stories we could hear everything too inappropriate. Our meal was very costly, like a sit down restaurant. Likely not to go back. read more

Tried Grace Chicken and Fish for the first time. I didn't order their staples, so I can't judge them on their signature dishes, but what I did get was still very good--especially with all the sauces (which I loved). There was a small mix-up on my order, but it wasn't a big deal. I think I got the wrong spice level because I know they can bring serious heat, but my "second hottest" barely had any kick. The collard greens were the biggest miss for me--watery, no meat, and lacking flavor compared to what I'd expect. I'll be back to try their most popular items before making a final call. read more

(July 2025) Grace opened at this location taking over the former King Edwards a month before I visited. I was never a fan of King Edwards' fried chicken, so I was glad to see it gone. There was plenty of parking spaces on their surface lot when we arrived. The lady behind the counter saw us reviewing the bakery case and told us the strawberry crunch hand pie was freshly made so that helped me make my mind up on that. I ordered 2-piece catfish and greens for my meal. I was confused by the sauce styles (Maybe I missed descriptions somewhere) and where to find silverware (none by the sauce stand). We made our way outside to eat because the weather was fine. When they brought out the food, it looked sooo good including the collard greens. However, when I took a bite out of the greens, it was super-duper salty. Inedible salty. I made a sad face and paused my eating. I am not one to send food back, so I had my friend try it and she too felt it was oversalted so when someone came to check on us, we sent it back and asked for mac n cheese. Now THAT was delicious and not oversalted. I ate all my meal except the bread (I never eat the bread that is soaking up the oil). The fish was perfectly crusty yet tender and not over or under seasoned. I do not know what sauce I grabbed but the fish was good with that. I took a bite of my hand pie, and it was like an adult version and sophisticated strawberry pop tart. The fresh strawberries came through and the crust and frosting were perfect and not overbearing. I had to take the rest of that home but rest assured, it was AMAZING. read more

I've been to Grace Chicken Fish chicken several times and this past weekend was my second time to their Watson location. Upon entering, I was greeted by CC who was pleasant and delightful to talk too. I was going to get my normal four wing platter when CC raved about the chicken and waffles, so I opted for the latter. I wanted to shout out CC who provided us with her southern charm making my experience one to remember. As always, the chicken was delicious and the waffle was thin and crispy, which is how I prefer my waffles if I ever eat them. I'm happy I choose the Watson location because it made my experience fun! read more

I stopped in the other day to try the new place on watson. I have to say it was a disappointment. I usually refrain from posting when it's not up to par for me but this time I just had to. I ordered 1/2 bird, 2 pieces catfish, 6 shrimp and two sides. The collards and mashed potatoes. The total was $55 and I added a $5 tip. It was a to go order. I got home and opened up the catfish and I just couldn't believe the 2 pieces I got for $12. They were so small, like 3 bites and they were gone. The shrimp was fine as was the bird but at $18 the wing could have been a full wing and the drum stick was teeny. The taste was fine as were the sides. The place is cute, clean and the staff was nice. I may have to try it again to see if it was just an off day but Dierbergs has catfish for $6 a piece that is an actual filet. Just saying. read more

Grace Chicken Fish - Catfish - Fish & Chips Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

I am always excited to try a new restaurant. They have a few patio tables outside and several tables inside. When you arrive, you go up to the counter to place your order and they bring your food out to you. They have several options of fish and chicken to choose from. I decided to get one of the famous deals. I ordered the Tender meal deal. For $13 I got three pieces of chicken tenders french fries and a drink. That was a pretty good meal deal and was much cheaper than ordering everything à la carte. The chicken tenders were pretty good size and had great flavor to them. I ordered them with the original flavoring and tried a different sauces on them. They had several different options to try. The french fries were crinkle cut and had a good seasoning on them. The restaurant was freshly painted and welcoming. The famous meals were pretty good deals. If you ordered things separately got a little expensive by the time you ordered your sandwich fries, and a drink. They also had several beer, wine and cocktail options to choose from as well as dessert options. On Saturday and Sundays before 3 PM they had a brunch menu as well. All in all this was a great little restaurant. I think that they will do well and we will definitely be back. read more

We started with fried green tomatoes - crunchy, flavorful goodness! So hot and crisp! I had the 2 piece catfish meal. Cornmeal breaded catfish had just the right amount of seasoning, was a generous serving and came with a tasty little relish on the side. We also had the half bird. Got it hot and the spice was perfect! Not too greasy, not too much breading, and nice big pieces. Everything we ordered was high quality and flavorful! We will be back to order the hush puppies which were sold out! Welcome to Crestwood, Grace! read more

Amazing! They've only been open for two weeks but the operation and service was a well-oiled machine like they've been there 10 years. Pretty fun atmosphere and lots of tables inside and outside so by the time you've ordered, a table's opened up for you. Very, very good! The menu offers a nice variety but it's also nice and straightforward so as to not be overwhelming. read more

Ordered the OG Chicken sandwich with fries for pickup and the sandwich was good! As for the fries... well, IDK since they forgot to include the fries in my order. I even tipped (on pickup) and they couldn't be bothered to double check my order before handing it to me. Please do better. read more

Was going to get the fried chicken, but I asked the order taker what is best item and she suggested the Buffalo Soldier and the Grace fries. So that's what I went with. This was during the lunch rush, so my 10-15 min wait for the food to come out was not an issue. The sandwich is a monster. Good tasting sauce on the chicken, not over powering and allowing the juicy chicken flavor to come through. Only issue with the food was the fries were just a tad warmer than room temp. Tried the Comeback sauce and the ranch for my fries and have to say l'll just mix the two flavors next time. Can't tell you how the staff was right there asking how everything was and are you good? The tables turn over quick and staff are right there to clean them up. Love the local business doing good and keeping it local with their local soda Excel company. Hard to live up to tha king Eduard's flavor. read more

Hearing all raves about the place we went Friday for dinner. It was packed with diners and a line to order at the counter. Also it was Very hot inside and the many sunny windows had no shades. My family of six ordered and grabbed an empty table in lots of sun. The total for us was $114 for trays of tenders and some fries . I felt their pricing was too steep with $10 to $13 for a chicken sandwich . The fried chicken was tasty but Chick-fil-A is less costly read more

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!
