Grace Meat + Three

In STL for the day and my husband wanted fried chicken. Looked up the best in STL and this is what was most recommended. He got 1/2 Chicken spicy and I got the OG (added bacon). Both were phenomenal. I have already recommended to people back home. Will definitely be back. Also had cornbread, greens and cole slaw. All very good.

FANTASTIC! Love the atmosphere, and the people are awesome! Super friendly and helpful. The food: Best catfish I've ever had. Don't skip on the hot catfish, either! It's amazing! She had the shrimp po-boy and gave it a "better than Florida" rating. Definitely making this a regular spot.

The Korean bbq ribs were the best. My friend recognized a YouTuber pair who were doing a show there that day, too. He ate 8 pounds of fried chicken. I couldn’t bear to watch such madness. The waffles were not that great. That UGE sausage patty looked so delicious. However, it was dry and WAY TOO SAGEY! 😩My friend’s hot honey chicken sandwich wasn’t that great either.

As soon as we walked in we were greeted with smiles and was Welcomed in. Ordered our Food which was 1. Surf and Turf (3 Wings-Catfish Nuggets-4 Crispy Shrimp w/ Honey Glazed Cornbread and Fries. It was Delicious. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐(10stars). My wife had the Catfish Po'boy w/ Collard Greens and Bourbon Whipped Sweet Potatoes and she also gave it ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐(10 stars)...... We will definitely come back and bring some more people...... 8654 Watson Rd.

I have only been there once. I ordered a 2 piece catfish fillet. It was delicious. I alsownt a good chunk of my life at KY Lake. I am very familiar with some of the best catfish on the planet - Patty's, Land between the Lakes, Boyetts, Blue Grass, Real Foot, etc, and this was every bit as good. Excellent breading, wasn't called on, crispy with out being dried out, good spice to the breading, huge portions. Next time I am going to try the 🐔, I hear that's just as good if not better than the catfish.

One of the friendliest wait staffs around. Super helpful, and had great recommendations. The fried bologna sandwich was superb. The catfish was delicious, as was the fried green tomatoes and coleslaw. Highly recommend.

Went here on a date night. First time being in the Grove area. This place was PHENOMENAL. Staff was all very friendly, and food was absolutely killer. So good. Will definitely be going back!

Food came out quick. Nice and piping hot. Mac and cheese was delicious. The greens were well seasoned and delicious.😋. The shrimp po boy however shrimp was overcooked. The sandwich had way to many pickles. It was messy. The fried green tomatoes with the sauce were 💣. The fish was good. Cooked well nice and moist. I would go back again and try something different.

Food was great I love the lemonade and the worker are so respectful fast service the only is you feel like you walking to the kitchen when you go to the bathroom but I promise it a bad clean establishment

My fiancé and I were passing through the St Louis area and found this fast casual spot offering southern classics. There was plenty of street parking in the area that happened to be free the Friday we went. The restaurant itself has tons of seating for all group sizes. One orders at the main counter, gets a number to seat with, and someone brings your food out to you. I loved that the menu itself offered plenty of fried fish, bbq meats, classic southern sides, and a variety of sauces to pair with meals. They also offer local Excel fountain sodas. We decided to get a variety of small portions to sample: mac & cheese, grace fries with pimento queso, honey glazed cornbread, and cornmeal crusted fried catfish. The fish was perfectly crunchy but juicy inside. The fries had a wonderful seasoning on them and none of the pimento queso was left after eating. Mac and cheese & cornbread had great flavor as well. Our favorite dipping sauces were the comeback and ranch but we also tried the hot honey and sweet whiskey bbq. I highly recommend making the stop here to dine! I would certainly come back for more!

Incredible crispy fried chicken. Delicious sauces. I love trying their specials (follow them on instagram so see when they change them up!) I wish the fried chicken horseshoe was part of their permanent menu, but we come to make sure we get it any time they have it on the menu. We've been multiple times and had amazing food every time.

Grace Meat + Three is amazing! The staff is super friendly, they have a full allergy list available making allergy life easy, and the food is delicious!! My favorite menu items: Fried Chicken, Kitchen Sink Salad, Fried Green Tomatoes, Harvest Shreds (they're vegan but amazing), and Mac & Cheese!

It was very cold out so we came here to get some good southern comfort food, and this place was perfect! The fried bologna sandwich was delicious, and my partner enjoyed his cottage pie as well. There was a line to order but it moved VERY quickly and we didn't wait long for the food. Great service and great people! And the space is very welcoming. Worth checking out!

My catfish nuggets were super flavorful, and their house made tartar sauce is delightfully dilly. Mac and Cheese here is always perfectly cheesy. Staff is friendly - it's counter service, so not a lot of interaction. All around cute southern vibe inside, but modern, not like a Cracker Barrel!

Chicken sandwhich 10/10 would totally get again! Friend green tomatoes were okay! Half slab rips were a deal for $15 but a bit on the salty side! Our first time here but we had a lot of fun! Service and vibes are great! Would definitely recommend and would come back!

This feels like a Raising Cane's but better. The comeback sauce is my fav but I also like the Alabama sauce. Chicken is soooo tender with just the right amount of breading. And the fries! Ahh! Delicious. I love seasoned fries and these are perfect. The waffle was okay. I like the chicken sandwich more but it was fun to try. Just wish the waffle was a little more on the crispy side than soft. But not a big deal. Our server was soooo awesome and had great energy. Overall the place is just awesome!!

As soon as I walked in, I was greeted warmly by the staff. Made me feel special. The menu is extensive! I've been before but I always get chicken and something else. The food is always amazing. I also got a hand pie and that was yummy too. The staff are always so welcoming whenever I come in and I can't wait to keep coming back.

Do you crave crispy perfect chicken and deviled eggs? I do. Grace Meat and Three always satisfies my cravings. Their staff is so helpful in picking just the right combinations of mains and sides. There is plenty of space to take a large group or just show up and hang out at the bar. The bar is a perfect spot to grab a cocktail while you await your tasty treats arrival.

The Mac and cheese was bland, but my chicken was so good! Make sure you enjoy spicy - I got the hot thinking I could handle and it was almost too spicy for me. Fried pickles were some of the best! It was noisy but it's a small-ish place and it didn't bother us. The girl at the counter didn't ring something in for us, she was friendly I guess it just got missed. The guy doing the running was going to get it for us free of charge but we did end up paying, but that's great service to me! Grace meat plus three is one of my favorites forever!

Absolutely fire. Grace Meat + Three is serving up some of the best fried chicken around. I snagged their April Special the Grace Crunch Wrap. I think it lasted a whole 45 seconds on my plate--see the before and after photos. The chicken (I opted for grilled because health, lol) was seasoned to perfection. Juicy, salty, and tender. The grilled tortilla was amazing and even better with the crisp of the hard shell inside. Adding the comeback sauce this thing is top notch. I even dipped it in their tangy whiskey bbq sauce which just added another level of fire. Of course, if you are only going to be in there for 1 meal, you need to opt for something fried. Their seasoning is incredible. The shrimp Po'boy is another favorite of mine. The interior is a classic dining experience. They give you a number, and you rack your tray when you're finished. An amazing combination of throw back diner vibes mixed with the modernity of a bustling hot spot nestled in the heart of tower grove. It's no surprise you see "Grace Meat + Three adorned on heads throughout the city, including one of the City's finest: Adam Wainwright.

Portions are huge and food is delicious. I had a salad which I couldn't even come close to finishing. Service was fast and friendly. I would go back.

Finally made it to Grace Meat + Three! And it was exactly as good as expected. We went around 6:30 on a Friday and it definitely wasn't too busy, waited a bit to order at the front and then sat at the bar to wait for our food. The bartender bought our drinks, I got the Elderberry margarita which I LOVED. My date got the Grace Special Perennial beer (per him), they had a great selection of beers. He got the burger and said he would be willing to do extreme things (which I won't repeat here) for that burger, which is clearly strong feelings. I got the fried chicken sandwich (hot), and was blown away - perfectly juicy and the spice level was really good! Bun was a bit oily but didn't bother me! We got medium fries which say they are for 3-4 people but I think that is underestimating most fry-eaters limits. They weren't the most crispy I've had but I loved the seasoning! Prices aren't too bad either and the bar is really cool, I can't wait to go back!!

This place is located in the Grove and has the friendliest staff ever. They were very upbeat and courteous. There is metered street parking out front and on the side of the store. Please fit the temptation to park in the adjacent neighborhood because you will probably get ticketed. They have a large country style dining room with some bar seating on the side. There is also a place to sit outside on the sidewalk on the side of the restaurant. You will also find a walk up window to pick up to go orders on that side as well. I was looking for a late night treat and this was one of the few places that were open. Their menu is full of Southern favorites. They serve sandwiches, fried chicken, soup, catfish, shrimp , burgers and shakes. They also have wine and signature cocktails. But I was there for one of their unique treats. I had to decided between one of their hand pies and their pear bread pudding. After consulting the staff, I went with the bread pudding. It took about 10 minutes for them to prepare and it was fresh and hot. It was not what I was expecting, but was still pretty good. I thought that it would have more pear inside the bread pudding. But it was regular bread pudding with a small and thin pear fruit roll-up sheet on top. Anyway, this is a very nice southern spot that I highly recommend checking out while in the Grove. They have high quality food, superior service and a wonderful atmosphere.

I've loved Grace Meat + 3 for years. They have an excellent brunch and dinner menu and delicious options for takeout during the holidays. On this specific visit, my friends and I met up for a late lunch on a Saturday. It was steadily busy but they manage the crowds well. You order at the counter and they bring your food and drinks out to your table. I almost always order the quarter chicken (dark and hot) with a couple of sides. Their mashed potatoes and greens are staples and wonderful. The food always comes out quickly and the staff are super friendly and helpful for whatever you might need. They have a great bar menu too. On this occasion I enjoyed the Oaxacan Negroni. If you over order (as I always do for leftovers) they have to go containers ready for you next to the soda machine. Highly recommend - some of the best fried chicken in the city!

I would go back to try something else. Parking is on the street. They do not let you make reservations but noticed when arriving they had tables with reservation signs on them....Hmmm Have to order at the front and they will bring the food out to you. If needing a refill on drinks you would need to go up and refill your drink. Also they had off brand soda products. I like the atmosphere inside. Food - Everyone liked their chicken and sides. I however did not care for the ribs. The spice and sauce is not for me. Next time I will try the chicken.

Wanted to try some good midwestern soul food and stumbled upon Grace Meat + Three. Let me start by saying this space is BEAUTIFUL! I loved everything about the ambiance, the music, the lighting. So lovely. All food is ordered at the counter and then you take a seat. We ordered the fried chicken with mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts, the catfish, and cornbread. The catfish, the fried chicken, and mashed potatoes and gravy were SUPERB. Throughly enjoyed these items. I felt the cornbread was too dry and the brussel sprouts were not cooked long enough. They also have this hot honey sauce to go with the chicken, soooooooo good! If I were to visit St. Louis again I would most certainly go back. It is worth it!

Our visit started with locating a parking space. Used to be the lot across the street was free. Got a spot and proceeded to pay which took a couple of tries. No customers in the restaurant on a late Friday afternoon in May. Drink special was the Mint Julep. Ordered two of those only to be informed when seated that they were out of mint. I like hot and spicy chicken but this chicken wasn't what I'd consider hot. It was tasty. Mashed potatoes were kinda bland and overly 'milky'. Thats not even a word...Collard greens were decent; honey cornbread was meh. You have to pretty much walk through the kitchen to get to the restroom. It looked like it needed a good refresh. Between the two alcoholic beverages and two orders of wings with sides, we spent close to $70.

My wife and I absolutely love Grace Meat + 3. The staff is always amazingly friendly, which creates such a great vibe. We want to try everything on the menu but can't get past the Catfish Nuggets. Both of us agree we have never had better catfish. I cant stop saying WOW after every bite. Chef Lewis, you and your team are slaying it...thank you

Ate here for brunch. I ordered the chicken and waffle with a side of bacon. I paid way too much for that waffle to be that size. It wasn't regular waffle mix, and I have no idea what they used but the waffle was very thin and not fluffy. They had various types of chicken (wings, tenders) that you could choose from. I got my waffle with chicken wings. They were decent and the hot oil was good! The bacon was fantastic. Customer service was great too. Friends ordered fried fish, which was cornmeal batterred and it was really good. I ordered fried green tomatoes to go and they were superb, along with the remoulade sauce. Will be back for those!

We went to Grace Meat + Three for a Sunday brunch and we enjoyed it! My friend ordered the Chicken and Waffles and I ordered the Everything But The Kitchen Sink with a side of crinkled fries. Our chicken was very tender and had great flavor. I'm giving it four stars because of the atmosphere - the line was too slow due to them having one person at a register with an ordering system that takes too long. It's also a beautiful space but there is something about it that feels a little off - it's too casual for a nice brunch but while also trying to market it as a "fancy" southern restaurant. I also find it odd to be called Meat + Three and not have that as an option on the menu.

I was looking for a New Year's Day traditional meal and this place came up in my search. I ordered the prosperity plate and it was excellent. The chicken was tender and flavorful. The collards had a nice spiciness and I was introduced to a side called hoppin John which absolutely should be a main if it's not. I'm really glad that I ran across this place because I will definitely be coming back to try more from this restaurant.

Nice staff, attentive fast service, tasty food, clean open concept. A great local eatery.

You cannot go wrong dining here at this fine establishment. It's cute inside, it's spacious so you'll have a table. The staff is AMAZING! The menu has a lot to offer. This food is fresh!! The chicken is amazing. Real napkins, good beer and cocktails. If you leave a restaurant and you are still thinking about it the next day, it's good and it's one of your favorites. I dream about eating here all of the time! Head here soon for a really fun time. You won't regret it. Cheers!

Food: 4 Stars Service: 4 Stars Review Update: Their fried chicken sandwich is fantastic! With a golden crispy batter on the outside and tender juicy meat on the inside, this sandwich kept me licking my lips and fingers! Service is a little slow, but the food is worth the wait. Enjoy!

Visited Grace Meat & Three this past Sunday and it was the meal I needed to cap off the weekend. It's always pretty easy ordering here, staff is very friendly, patient and helpful when you step up to order. I ordered a shrimp po boy with greens, which was absolutely delicious. The shrimp was cooked to perfection, with a crispy breading and tender, juicy meat. The bread was toasted well and fluffy, and the greens were flavorful and well-seasoned. The portion size was generous, and I left feeling full and satisfied. One of STL's best southern food places, and they also carry vegetarian options. Check them out!

very mid. flavors are subpar, vibes inside are nice and people are friendly but the food is meh, esp for its price

I'm know it's hard to mess up fried food but this was some of the best fried food ever. Just as a warning though the fried green tomatoes tasted like they had been picked. I will admit this was only my second experience with fried green tomatoes. The cashier taking our order said his favorite thing on the menu was the burger. I look forward to trying it next but then again that was some perfectly fries catfish.

Rating: I recently visited Grace Meat + Three with high hopes of enjoying a satisfying meal in a pleasant atmosphere. However, my experience fell short of expectations due to several significant drawbacks. Firstly, I must admit that the restaurant's atmosphere was indeed commendable. The interior design and ambiance were inviting, creating a cozy and warm environment for diners. The decor was tastefully done, reflecting a charming Southern flair. Kudos to the restaurant for creating a visually appealing space. Unfortunately, the positive aspects end there. I was left disappointed by the lackluster food offerings. The menu boasted an array of enticing options, but the execution fell short of the mark. The dishes I ordered lacked the flavor and finesse I had anticipated. The ingredients seemed mediocre, and the overall taste was underwhelming. Considering the restaurant's reputation, I expected a much more satisfying culinary experience. Additionally, the lack of seating space was a major inconvenience. The limited seating arrangements made it challenging to find a comfortable spot to enjoy my meal. The tables were placed too close together, which resulted in a cramped and claustrophobic environment. It felt as if the restaurant prioritized cramming in as many customers as possible, sacrificing the comfort of its patrons in the process. In conclusion, while the atmosphere at Grace Meat + Three was undeniably pleasant and visually appealing, the overall experience left much to be desired. The disappointing quality of the food and the inadequacy of seating arrangements greatly impacted my visit. I hope the restaurant takes these concerns into account and makes the necessary improvements to enhance the dining experience for future patrons.

Everything was delicious. The chicken was tender and juicy and the sides were exactly what I'm expecting from a southern restaurant. The service was fast so it's a perfect spot for lunch or if you just want a quick bite to eat. The restaurant itself is very spacious and if you're in the grove it's definitely a place to check out!

Decided to come here for lunch one day and I was throughly pleased. Located in The Grove, so parking options really aren't the best. Ended up parking in the paid lot across the street. Walked in to a nice young lady at the register, patiently waiting to take our order. I decided on the wings and Mac and cheese and ordered some wine (drink options available). The chicken was golden and crispy. I opted for the "hot" option so there was some extra seasoning sprinkled on top. The Mac and cheese was more creamy than cheesy, but that isn't a deal breaker because it was actually delicious. By the soda machine is where the bottles of the different sauce types were located. I was able to try a nice amount of them. The ranch was really good and you can tell that it is home made. Overall good experience. Good food. Clean establishment. Good service.

We came in for lunch and it smelled delicious. The line to order was painfully slow but we persevered. Lunch was yummy but I don't know if I would wait that long again. I had fried pickles which were excellent and a catfish Po boy which was massive and so good. My Daughter enjoyed her Grace Burger. My Wife had the chicken tenders with cornbread and was very satisfied. Next time I'm here I'd order ahead. Food was really good.

The food was great as well as the service. When I went it was a little packed but they were still efficient with service. I would definitely be back.

While the food is always amazing, my mom and I split the chicken she got and the burger I got. She raved about the burger and how well it was cooked!

Love their food. I've never had a sit down eat there. I've only got it to go, but they're fried chicken is very good and side items match up really nice. They also understand that when you're there to pick up, you're there to pick up and so they move fast. Food is always been hot and fresh and well seasoned

Tried Grace Meat + Three twice now for takeout, but disappointed both times. Service was lacking, with missing items in our orders. First time, had to wait a while to resolve it over the phone. Last week, waited over half an hour, only to find something missing again! Sadly won't be returning, despite decent food quality. Hope they improve soon, would love to give them another shot for a smoother experience.

I tried their chicken tender meal with coleslaw from their food truck at the Best of Missouri. The food was really good the service was excellent. The guys from Grace's were so nice and friendly. I told them this was my first time trying Grace meats.

We came today, Sunday July 14th, 2024. Dinner time 5:30pm, was not crowded at all. Employee took time to explain menu, offer his preferences too. Order a variety so that we could be fair. Food was not hot. Had to ask for hot fries and by the time we got them chicken was cold since it was like warm to begin with! Catfish was hot, shrimp was hot as well. Seasoned well. Collards and cornbread I enjoyed. Rum lemonade was strong but since service was lacking I was glad to drink it! Ranch sauce and hot honey sauce we good as well. I try to be fair and give accolades where they were warranted. We live 38 mins away so don't think it will be worth another trip, Good Luck

First time here and won't be the last. Very clean inside and the cashier upfront was so friendly! For appetizers we ordered the fried green tomatoes and deviled eggs. For entrees I ordered the catfish, my husband got the chicken and waffles, my kiddos got the chicken tenders. So so good. My husband got the spiciest seasoning on his chicken and although it was good, wasn't really that spicy. I didn't order any cocktails this time but the list sounded so yummy.

Food was mid pls dont eat there if your looking for real authentic black people soul food cus they aren't it, no slander or hate to them I was just extremely disappointed when I ordered classic candied yams and open my food to see mashed yams... like wtf? It literally looked and tasted like baby food idk I feel like it's coo if you make them that was but that should be advertised on the menu or something because if I would have known I was getting mashed sweet potatoes I would not have gotten it. But yea other than that food was alright nun special

I've been to Grace Meat a couple of times and it's always been good. This time I did take out as I was treating myself lol. The online ordering was easy and they have a pick up window on the side so you don't even have to walk in. The process went pretty smooth, I Ordered a variety of items as they were doing a special on their fried chicken horseshoe sandwich. The open faced horseshoe sandwich was very tasty. Only negative thing-which nothing can be done about- was that the bread that the chicken was sitting on was a little soggy by the time I got back to the house but that's the deal when you do takeout. The cheese sauce with the sandwich was delicious and when you put a little bit of sour cream with it. It was even better!! The gizzards were done perfectly and I love the crispy coating. There was a hot mustard sauce with the gizzards that was paired perfectly! All the sides we're outstanding- Cole slaw, Mac n Cheese-yummy- my only negative thing about the sides that was the brussel sprouts were a little mushy but not overly so. I would also like to say the everything salad is delicious. The homemade dressing that came with it was spectacular. The only thing I would probably add with the salad. Some homemade croutons would've been perfection. Everything was outstanding, and Grace Meat definitely upheld the reputation with this meal!! I was particularly impressed, considering it was take out as well, but sometimes really hurts a meal.

Years after my first review and Grace is still firing on all cylinders. It's just a reliable, casual, family-friendly staple in the grove. I wrote a love letter about its fried chicken years back but their catfish is greatttttt as well. In fact, I've been ordering catfish the last few visits here. Stl really gets its catfish down and grace's catfish is a great one - no sauce necessary! Staff is super friendly and the owner is usually around as well. Quick anecdote: I had some friends from nyc/nj visit STL for my baby shower recently and this was a great easy place to have a group meal without making reservations. One of my friends ordered the spicy chicken but was served the non spicy version by mistake. She casually mentioned it when one of the staff members checked in and they promptly made her a brand new order of chicken. She was blown away by the STL hospitality. That's just how it is at Grace. Good ol' reliable!

Most of our food was good. The chicken tenders were good as was the buttermilk sauce. The appetizers were good but the deviled eggs were a smidge too Dijon-y. The fried green tomatoes were perfect and delicious. My husband's chicken sandwich however was sad and dry and too crunchy. The succotash was too salty. The mac and cheese needed more flavor but it could have been the salt from the succotash taking away from it. Overall a nice place and fast and hot.

Absolutely incredible in every aspect. From the time we walked in the door. The vibe was electric with a home welcoming hospitality. The food was top notch and we dabbled in a little of everything from the chicken sandwich, deviled eggs, surf and turf and fried bologna. But the shrimp were to die for Keep doing great things Rick and crew. See ya soon.

Grace Meat + 3 just had their 8th anniversary this past Saturday. I arrived early since they are so popular. The owner, happy staff & other customers were honoring & thanking the customers & vice versa. The whole bird was fried crispy as we asked, shrimp & cornmeal crusted catfish were excellent. Everything was tasty & non-greasy. The honey glazed cornbread, hash browns & Mac & cheese were to die for! Love the ice tea as well. The vibe is very joyous & the ambience is always good. They are very professional, courteous & always willing to assist every time.

First time and definitely won't be the last. AMAZING! We ordered the chicken tenders- 1 hot, 1 original and split 3 sides. Everything was so tasty! The ambiance and staff were great too!

Rounding up from 3.5 Gave up meat for lent so came here on Sunday for a chicken fix! only been here once before and it was MUCH more busy this time. You order at front and they bring you food- line moves fast. I ordered the hot chicken tender, fish sandwich, and mac n cheese to split with my partner. Chicken tenders and fish sandwich were DELICIOUS and i would def go back for. i'm not huge on mac n cheese but their noodles weren't the best and it was really cheesy and was a little sweet... ended up tasting a bit like a pasta salad. Note i've heard their fries are really good but they were out when we went so we got the mac n cheese instead, sounds like they were unexpectedly busy. friends ordered the fried pickles and said it was good but briny and they probably wouldn't order again. service was great, all the employees are kind. decor..... lots of taxidermy but then also floral decor so kinda some mixed vibes, and i personally don't love looking at taxidermy while eating but i know it's common in bbq/southern comfort restaurants. overall, clean large space. will be going back!

I have been here twice now and greatly enjoyed my experience both times. The chicken is fantastic! For appetizers I have tried the fried pickles and would recommend the hot chicken dip if you have multiple people in your party. The staff is very friendly and attentive. I like that you can get your own sauces and your own to-go boxes if needed. They also serve Excel soda which is a plus for me! Beautiful place with amazing food!!
