Houston takes steak seriously, with a mix of classic chophouses and chef-driven rooms backed by Texas beef. Pappas Bros Steakhouse on McKinney Street downtown is the city's grand dry-aged room, while Killen's Steakhouse on West Broadway Street in Pearland is Ronnie Killen's beef-forward destination. State of Grace on Westheimer Road in River Oaks brings a more contemporary Southern take to the format.
State of Grace in Houston is Ford Fry's River Oaks dining room on Westheimer Road, a Southern-and-steakhouse menu in a glossy room with limewashed brick.
