Best Southern American Restaurants in Royal Oaks

Definitely impressed and will be back!! I was a little nervous as we usually book Taste of Texas or Perry’s for our Annual Christmas EVE eve family dinner, but so happy we chose Haywire. Food was great, our server was great, not too loud so we could visit, great atmosphere!!!

I have eaten here several times and enjoyed both the food and the experience. It was a bit congested today, particularly as we were seated very close to where counter seats were located. The food I ordered required a substitute due to something not being available, which was a disappointment, but additional shrimp was offered and accepted as a substitute. The waitress was very competent and friendly. Valet service was timely and professional as previously experienced.

This was our first visit to Lucille’s. Our waiter, Rick is amazing at servicing and hosting others. He shared the menu and directed us to things to try that didn’t disappoint. He treated us with so much grace and kindness. We enjoyed the time he took to get to know us and was so attentive to what our needs were while having dinner. When you visit you must ask for him to be your waiter. You will not regret it. We at the oxtail for the first time it was outstanding. Rick gave us the opportunity to try the bread pudding. Don’t leave without trying it. It was superb. The bread rolls were so good and the fried green tomatoes were excellent. We will visit again on our next visit to Houston. The atmosphere was quiet. The hostess was so sweet and welcoming. Thank you for a great experience.

Ton and Trey were excellent servers and were very warm and welcoming. They took excellent care of us and even had their manager, Todd, help us with an extra question we had. We really appreciated Todd taking the time to talk to us! Probably one of the best times we have been to Graces!

Great place for a New Year's dinner, menu was good (high quality standard, not unique). Service was very good even when the live music was really loud in the echo-y space. Seating was ok, live music was loud but good quality for New Year's. The main concern was that the OpenTable app said the prix fixe meal would be $69 per person, but the price climbed up to $89 upon receipt of the bill. Then we were charged $30 for service TWICE. So the final total $149 per person, not the original $69 we were expecting. I would not recommend this place if you are not prepared to pay twice as much as what we saw when we first signed on. This would have been very different if the actual advertised price simply included all of these charges so that we could make an assessment fairly.
