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.

Our waiter Dominique knew the menu inside out. He was very knowledgeable about what the favorites were. We tried caviar for the first time and it was delicious. Everyone was very attentive and we felt very welcomed. We drove about 45 minutes to the restaurant and it was absolutely worth the drive. Dominique made the evening so much fun. We will be back!

We had the crab beignets and deviled eggs as our starters- both excellent. I had the eggs Benedict and my friend had a burger with a side of pomme frittes for our mains. We both enjoyed our meals and never felt rushed by our server. Service was excellent. Will definitely will be back. If you haven’t been, give it a try!
