"An ode to Houston restaurateur Johnny Carabba’s late grandmother, Grace’s is known for slinging serious, belly-filling eats during lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch. Expect nostalgic dishes like fried green tomatoes, chicken-fried chicken topped with jalapeno gravy, beef stroganoff, and a Southern-fried pork chop with mashed potatoes and black-eyed peas. Dessert is just as indulgent, with plated desserts like lemon icebox pie and old-fashioned banana pudding." - Megha McSwain
