About State of Grace

On Westheimer Rd in Houston, State of Grace serves New American dishes with a Southern lean, drawn from a menu of 84 items. Starters include hushpuppies and Texas beets, alongside greens of the moment and butter lettuce, with an oyster bar running through the room and crab beignets among the offerings. Apples and pears and a warm cinnamon roll round out the dessert side, and hotcakes appear at brunch. Reservations are recommended for dinner. Valet parking is offered, useful given limited parking nearby, and a step-free entrance serves visitors with mobility needs. High chairs are available for families with young children, and a private dining room accommodates groups. The kitchen also prepares food for takeaway and delivery for those eating off site. On the way out, guests are offered a complimentary cookie near the front door.

Customer Review Summary

Oysters draw the most consistent praise, with reviewers repeatedly calling the oyster bar fresh and describing the room as beautiful and worth returning to. Close behind, several dinners single out the roasted chicken with pomme purée, the crawfish benedict, and griddle cakes as standouts, alongside deviled eggs, crab beignets, and a chocolate soufflé that impressed a birthday party. Service draws sharp disagreement: many describe attentive staff and managers who intervened personally to fix issues, comping a steak or an extra side, while others report long waits for entrees, a missing steak, uneven portion sizes on a split chicken order, cold food, and a double charge on a split bill that no server addressed. Complaints about value recur, with more than one reviewer calling burgers greasy or bland hotcakes underwhelming for the price, and one diner reporting an overcooked lobster fettuccine. A few brunch visitors also note the kitchen running out of menu items or being unable to accommodate ingredient removals. Several mention a complimentary cookie offered at the end of the meal as a memorable closing touch.

    “Very cool atmosphere and a great place to go on a nice date. I will say the food was not over the top delicious but it was good. They have some oysters on the half shell are $1.50 very day before 6pm which I loved! We went for brunch and tried the griddle cakes, gumbo, salade maison, buttermilk biscuits and got a dozen oysters.”
  • Grecia peralta
    “I recently visited this lovely restaurant while in town with some friends. We ordered Mocktails, Caviar Tots, Crab Hush Puppies, and one of the most flavorful chicken plates in Houston. Everything about this experience was amazing including the service. We will definitely visit again!”
  • HTX Reviews
    “Okay experience, not great. Beautiful restaurant. Service was slow but friendly. Took a while to get my brunch food. Not enough gumbo and too much rice served which was disappointing as they pour the gumbo into your bowl. Pancakes and rolls are delicious. Maybe went on a bad day 🤷‍♀️ Complementary valet.”

    “From the moment we stepped inside, the vibe was absolutely amazing! The atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and perfect for celebrating a birthday. Our server, Faith, provided impeccable service, and every member of the staff played a pivotal role in making the aftermoon truly special. The food was absolutely delicious and exceeded our expectations. Thank you for creating such a memorable birthday experience. I will definitely be dining here again and highly recommend this restaurant!”
