There’s something about Southern comfort food that just hits the spot. Shrimp and grits is a classic recipe that has been done many different ways over the years but always remains a staple of Southern cooking. Here are two spots in the Houston, Texas, area that offer a yummy take on this traditional dish.

Dish Society

With five different locations throughout the city, Dish Society is a Houston favorite. This American-style restaurant offers breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner any day of the week. Be sure to check the daily specials before deciding when to go. Mondays offer $15 wine bottles and Wednesdays offer $4 pints of beer. Other specials and events happen throughout the week to keep things fun.

You can enjoy shrimp and grits for any meal of the day, but if you get them for breakfast, they’ll toss a cage-free egg on top. You’ll get grilled gulf shrimp served on grits cooked with smoked gouda cheese, drizzled with Tabasco shallot butter sauce, and sprinkled with bacon pieces.

Kulture

Right in the heart of downtown Houston, Kulture introduces Caribbean Southern cuisine to the locals. This spot has been featured in various publications as one of the top restaurants in Houston, so it’s certainly worth trying. Their take on shrimp and grits features rice grits, gulf shrimp, and sherry sauce. Stop in any day except Sunday for lunch or dinner.

Next time you’re looking for some good old Southern cooking, head to one of these Houston spots. Find time to try each of these places to decide for yourself which one does the best shrimp and grits.
