About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Fancy
  • Charming
State of Grace is a coastal, South Texas neighborhood restaurant in the refurbished Lamar-River Oaks Shopping Center. Elegant but casual, its elevated comfort food by executive chef Bobby Matos is executed at the highest level in a welcoming, beautiful space. The jubilant medley of old favorites played with new spice, accent, and freshness lends itself to southern, American, Latin, Gulf Coast, German and Asian influences. Chef-owner Ford Fry’s first venture outside of Atlanta, State of Grace is located in the neighborhood where Ford grew up and nods to his childhood memories fused with Houston’s evolution into a melting pot of cultures and cuisines.

    Great service! Cool vibes inside and decorated very nicely. We had only been there one other time but my daughter hadn’t eaten there before. Some items were priced a little high but overall, great experience!

    We were celebrating our anniversary. The food is always very good. We had the fish dishes which were delicious. We had the crab beignets that are always our favorite. The only thing that we missed from the previous visits were the homemade rolls. The baguette was too hard for me. The pecan ball was awesome for dessert. Thanks for the champagne.

    Unfortunately they forgot to give us our appetizers and by the time the food came out, there was no need. Apparently the waiter had forgotten to put our order in for appetizers.

    Must have been an off night. Two hamburgers were ordered and they came out very rare (server didn’t ask how we liked them cooked. Filet was a little overcooked and potatoes purée were totally flavorless where in the past they were delicious. New chef???

    For a place that has such an amazing reputation, we were underwhelmed. The service was erratic, with five different people visiting our table (six, if you count a random reappearance of the hostess), but not actually *doing* anything (we had to ask three separate servers before we got condiments). The food was mediocre—the Ribeye was tough and stringy, and the asparagus somehow managed to be simultaneously both burnt and soggy.
