    Frozen Pomegranate mimosas
    Sophia P.

    We came here for Sunday Brunch last minute and had a great time. The only open reservation slot that was open was for outside, but that was fine. They had fans and a/c units outside to keep you cool. Our server Sofia was amazing!! She knew the menu very well and was super nice and caring! She also recommended some items from the menu that were her favorite. We ended up getting a frozen pomegranate mimosa carafe to share. It was so yummy and definitely kept us cool outside. Our food was delicious as well and I couldn't finish mine and had to take mine to go. They offer valet parking or you can park in the garage next door. Your choice. Overall we had a great time and will be back to enjoy dinner or lunch sometime. Thank you!!

    Toni's Kale Salad
    Dee D.

    The service and food here was AMAZING. The kale salad was perfectly chilled and the grilled chicken was hot. This was the best combination of a salad that I didn't even know I needed. The chicken tortilla soup was good and the baked potato dip was great. Fresh house chips really sealed the deal on this one. I've always wanted to come here but it's always very crowded. And I know why. It will always be crowded and I'll just have to bare with it to return.

    Another HRW review! I came in for lunch and they had 3 courses instead of 2 which was awesome! I walked in and there was no wait which I haven't experienced so i was pleased. Service was a little slow which is why I can only give 4 stars. For the first course I had the seafood campechana which was delicious. There was a sweetness to it that I really enjoyed. And the tortilla chips were perfectly crisp. Second course I got the American garden salad which was a basic salad nothing to write home about. Third course I got the cheeseburger which I asked for medium but it was well done. With the patty being that thin I think they shouldn't ask how you want it bc it probably will be over. But the flavors were there! If you don't love mustard definitely ask for it on the side because there is a lot on there. While the restaurant was full, I didn't feel packed in or crowded so I like that about Graces. I also like the open kitchen concept and the bar seats by the kitchen window.

    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.

    Cornbread

    Came here for the first time for lunch and it was really good!! Loved the inside it was modernly decorated, there's outdoor seating and some random seats facing the kitchen? The wait staff were very kind and friendly. We did the Houston restaurant weeks deal for 3 courses. The apps were amazing - the baked potato dip and the seafood campechana were so flavorful. The salad was ok/good nothing too special. The burger had a stretchy melty cheese on it which was different but still really good. The fries were thicker but still had such a good crunch and classic salty flavor. I don't normally care for cornbread but I did like their cornbread. Would love to come back and try more!!!

    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.

    I can't believe it. It's been 10 years since I reviewed Grace's. I've probably been here 35 or 40 times since then. I bring family and friends here all the time along with business partners. This is one of my favorite restaurants in Houston, Texas. You will experience the best food and the best service here every single time! Today was the first time I decided to get some food to go. Bradley was an absolute professional. While I was leaving, Johnny Carrabba came out and talked to me for a second. What a nice guy. Full of natural charisma. Reminds me of an old wise guy from casino or Goodfellas. We had a great conversation. I told him how my grandmother was born in Bryan Texas in 1927. He told me about his family that migrated there in 1905. He also mentioned his family had a store on Canal Street. I had no idea. An exceptional person, a legend in the restaurant industry here in Houston, Texas. It was great to meet you today Johnny. Thank you for your professionalism and hospitality and also thank you for serving some of the best food in Houston, Texas! Food: as you can see from all my pictures of the food is simply amazing. The best cornbread in the world. The best pot roast. The best sticky ribs. The best desserts. Everything here is phenomenal. Lunch dinner brunch you cannot go wrong. It was an absolute pleasure to meet Bradley and Johnny today I've been coming to this location for years and I will continue to come and support this restaurant.

    Impeccable customer service. For that alone I would definitely come back. The food was not bad, but I wouldn't say it was great. Definitely had good items on the menu. The cornbread and fried green tomatoes were really good. Overall, good experience and it has a really nice relaxed, casual, but sophisticated vibe.

    "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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

In the past they would bring out a bread basket, as a free appetizer like how some mexican restaurants bring out chips and salsa, however, they dont seem to do that here anymore. Service at the table was mediocre, our waitress took our drink order and on the way over, the waitress was spilling the drinks over the floor on the way to our table. After our waitress took our order, my gf did not get the mayo on the side as she had asked, and after we received our food, our waitress never came around to check on us, didn't refill our drinks or anything. The place was very loud, louder than visiting waffle house. I was trying to have a conversation with my gf sitting just across the table from one another, and we were having to literally yell at one another just to hear what each other were saying. My gf did state that the sandwich she ordered was a big sandwich, and was more than she could finish. Once we were ready to go, our waitress still hadn't been around to check on us. So I had to flag down someone else, to get us some to go boxes, and our check. Low and behold, when I was ready to checkout, the waitress appears out of nowhere, after all this time, I'm guessing because she thought she was going to get a good tip. I'm sorry, waitstaff only get a great tip from me, once and if they perform a great job duty, and this was not the case in this matter. Maybe, better luck next time, maybe Papas needs to hire better waitstaff worth hiring and keeping.

We shared a bowl of the potato soup where we had no expectations and I thought it tasted pretty decent. But the real test was the entrees. Mr. Picky ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp while I opted for Veal Parmigiana, and we each stole a bite from the other's plate. We reached consensus immediately that both dishes were well-seasoned and quite delicious, meaning we would return for more good food in the future. Seriously, we hadn't expected much when walking in and looking around, but were pleasantly surprised at the kitchen's efforts. We finished lunch with an order of homemade bread pudding and tiramisu, the latter of which in 2012 won a chamber of commerce epicurean competition 1st place ribbon. I wasn't there to judge that competition and have had better, but sincerely appreciated the moistness of the bread pudding. While the majority of diners were older and a more mature crowd, there's a lot to be said for value, and we thought the menu price was better than reasonable and I think a lot of people will discover this as a value destination, something we all appreciate.
