"After enjoying a spread of Creole and Cajun fare at this Upper Kirby restaurant, it’s time to dig into dessert. Though the bread pudding, with its brown butter caramel and candied pecans, and the triple fudge chocolate cake are popular orders, the lemon ice box is a classic. The dessert features a crispy bottom crust layered with creamy lemon curd, a topping of toasted meringue, and a side of sorbet for a combination that will keep you coming back for more." - Marcy de Luna
"Truth be told, there are enough great things to order at this Creole-Cajun restaurant — a beautiful seafood platter, crawfish etouffee served with rigatoni and fried shrimp, Cajun duck poppers, the iconic cast-iron cornbread, the spring-fresh roasted beets salad, and the list goes on. So, when scanning the menu, diners might be inclined to skip over the burger entirely. We’re here to tell you: it’s a sleeper hit. The $26 Eunice cheeseburger features an incredibly juicy patty made from meat ground in-house, topped with red onions and dijonaise, and served with a side of fries you’ll keep picking at until the very end. Must-try dessert: End with dessert — The lemon icebox pie, topped with toasted meringue, will make your day." - Brittany Britto Garley
"A Cajun-Creole restaurant that modernizes Louisiana flavors with confident execution and a welcoming dining experience. The cast-iron cornbread arrives with ample butter, and a creative tuna tartare dresses miso, avocado, strawberries, and cilantro for a refreshing starter. A particularly striking riff on crawfish étouffée is plated over homemade pasta—rigatoni—with fried shrimp à la Harry for contrast, a combination that feels familiar yet inventive. The in-house ground burger has also earned acclaim, service is hospitable, and an enclosed patio provides a breezy spot to enjoy the menu." - Brittany Britto Garley
"Eunice serves upscale Cajun seafood in the Upper Kirby neighborhood and looks ready for the cover of Southern Living magazine. Shrimp is the star of the seafood menu, and any dish that features it is a solid choice, like the dan dan shrimp covered in banana peppers, and the shrimp and grits that are buttery, a little smooth, and topped with roasted cherry tomatoes that taste like little gifts from the produce gods. A meal at Eunice will cost a pretty penny, so swing by to have an impressive power lunch or when someone else is footing the bill." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene, julie takahashi
"Chilly days in Houston call for warm dishes and heated patios, and this swanky Louisiana-inspired and Texas-sourced restaurant in Greenway Plaza delivers both. Surrounded by luscious trees and greenery, Eunice’s patio is outfitted with four heaters for a cozy outdoor dining experience. Warm up with dishes such as the smoked chicken and sausage gumbo or the shrimp and grits with green onion sausage gravy. Always, always get the skillet cornbread." - Marcy de Luna, Brittany Britto Garley
