Reviews for Grace's Steak & Seafood Restaurant in Bowie, MD
We have very few dining options in our area. Grace's used to be a reliable option. However, as soon as we walked in i was... reminded of why i stopped going to Grace's. The place was beyond loud. Folks were at the bar literally screaming at each other.I'm all for folks having fun but a number of the guests had no respect for others that were dining. We placed a drink order andthen placed our food order to go because we could not hear or talk over the noise. The place has really gone done from the timeit was opened. It needs a face-lift, a good cleaning and maybe new managment that is not afraid to ask out of control guests totone it down. Read more
We were visiting from out of town and decided to try Grace?s. Food was tasty. But that?s where it ends. The restaurant is dated... and drab looking/feeling. On a Saturday evening, it was nearly empty. That?s a red flag. It is overpriced. But what wasegregious was the 18% gratuity SURPRISE added to the bill. The 18% itself wasn?t the issue..because we normally add 20% ..for agood experience. . It was the fact that it appeared out of nowhere...and applied to your bill whether or not you got goodservice. When we pointed this out, the staff said there is a note about this on the menu. But the menu?s font is TINY, and wedidn?t see this. I had to actually use my phone?s magnifier to read the menu. This is the only restaurant I?ve seen that chargesan 18% tip for a party of two. It is insulting!!! When we raised the issue with a staff member, she was RUDE! Her reactionwas?.?they?re acting as if I?m taking their money??.and??the owner makes the rules?. It is obvious this restaurant does notvalue its customers. Go elsewhere for good service and respect.

This is not the place to go if you want to have an intimate dinner with your significant other. It was extremely and... unnecessarily loud. It could also use some updates in the interior. The food was decent, but not good enough for me to endurethat atmosphere again. The folks that ate outside on the patio seemed to have a quieter more intimate time. If eating outside isyour thing it might not be too bad. Read more
Went for happy hour July 7. Their Lo Mein is very tasty. Not greasy, flavorful, and portion sizes are plentiful.
The service was subpar- waitress was very inattentive. We ordered General Tao?s chicken & took 2 bites, the egg rolls were large... but overcooked if that?s possible. The vegetable lo mein was completely over cooked. The shrimp fried rice mushy. This isn?t theGrace?s I frequently visited years ago that I loved. Read more

One of my favorite places to eat delicious Chinese food. They have the best crispy beef. They also have really good Lo mein and... Kung Pao beef but for some reason their Kung Pao chicken was off this time around. But this will not deter me from coming back.Love this place!! Read more
Ok about sums it up. We thought this was the Grace?s Garden new location since a Sakura chain restaurant took over the original... Grace?s Garden location. It is not the same restaurant in a new location. For what you get at this restaurant , the Hibachioption is definitely overpriced. For $90 (+ tip) we had 2 hibachi meals (1 steak, 1 shrimp) with the fried rice (contained asmall amount of frozen peas & carrots) grilled veg (mostly onion & red peppers, some zucchini even less mushroom) small bowl ofonion broth soup and small iceberg lettuce ?salad?, 1 happy hour priced cocktail ($2 off),1 soda $ 1 shared dessert (dry crumblycheesecake). No real seasoning that we could taste on any of the entree, despite seeing the ?chef? sprinkle S&P on the foodwhile cooking. Very workmanlike hibachi experience - after he ascertained we had no allergies then the ?chef? got to work, noflourishes or verbal interaction with us other than the allergy question and asking about beef doneness. Most boring hibachiexperience we?ve ever had. That and overpriced food makes it unlikely we?ll return. Read more
