State of Grace

State of Grace in River Oaks has a sleek Southern-inspired interior, attentive service and an excellent house burger. Chef Ford Fry’s Butter Burger is served carpetbagger-style – topped with a fried oyster. This double-patty masterpiece is made with house-ground beef with frozen butter blended in, with American cheese, caramelized onions and a slather of mayo, and is skewered by a fried oyster on a perfectly grilled bakery bun, with a slice of crispy, bistro-style, shoestring fries. Adding house-smoked bacon enhanced the flavors with just the right amount of spiciness and smokiness. This graceful dish is served only at lunch. To avoid a wait at lunch, sit at the bar and order your burger, and enjoy conversation with the friendly staff.
