I finally tried Frank's Grill today after driving past it for years. Now I wish I had kept driving! I ordered the beef tips with rice, cabbage, and side salad. The beef was grey. It had no sear at all; just looked (and tasted) like it had been boiled. There was no gravy; just some light brown water over the rice, which was sticky and mushy and unappealing in every way. The cabbage was cooked and seasoned well. The side salad had a huge puddle of water in the to-go box - it was more like salad soup! The lettuce was slightly wilted around the edges but not terrible. The ladies at the drive through window were both pleasant enough, but were both wearing their masks around their chins. I will not be back. read more

95% of the times I've ordered from here there is something missing from the order. Once it was an entire entree. When we actually get what we paid for the food is good. Chicken fried chicken is great! - have had the gravy missing twice. Biscuits and gravy are delicious and they don't skimp on the gravy - once we didn't receive this dish at all. French toast was okay. Had an after taste and didn't have any powdered sugar. *Tip: check your food before leaving AND don't order delivery. read more

food is always 5 stars no doubt about it & Jamie always has 10 star service give her a raise!

Let me start by just saying that this place is ridiculous the service not that great at all food options was very small it used to be more options but now they made it smaller and our server was spilling our drinks and dropping some of our food on the floor which is just unacceptable cause we had to wait almost 50 minutes which is unacceptable I don't recommend cause of my experience read more

Service has changed. Waitress for get part of your order , then dont bring back correct sides.

Frank's Grill on Hwy 6 has amazing food and is always delicious. The service we receive whether we are eating in or picking up our order is outstanding. Always have a smile and always make sure our order is right. We especially appreciated their hard work during covid. Can't say enough about Frank's Grill owners and employees! read more

It's unfortunately only my second visit here, but I absolutely LOVE this place. A very open and friendly atmosphere with the most amazing staff. The pricing is beyond reasonable and the food speaks for itself. Today was my boyfriend's first time here and he is sooooo picky about his strawberry shakes. He only ever gets them from one other place, but after today he said he will only get them from Frank's. Which luckily means we will be dining here much more frequently! Thank you to the staff for always having such a positive attitude, it contributes greatly to a much better dining experience. read more

Really good food and service! Loved the waffle presentation! Went on a Saturday morning so it was a bit busy.

You may think this is like the original franks grill but IT IS NOT this place is an IMPOSTER terrible service not knowing how to do there job. Terrible servic. read more

Went this spot for breakfast to go and I can say they make a mean chicken fried chicken! Not as good as mine but a close second...lol. The pricing was very reasonable for what you get and the food was pretty good. I ordered there and the wait was very quick. Looks like they might have been more busy in the past but due to the big C it was pretty slow. Get out and support your local businesses!!! I will definitely be back! read more

The breakfast here is always on point. They can get pretty busy. We always order the omlette which used to be bigger back in the day but its still a good size. Parking is good and they are right off highway 6. Whenever we have the itch for some good home cooked breakfast we come here. Service is always good and food is always good. The only issue is my wife likes her omlettes Cajun style(dang near burnt)and sometimes we have to send it back because it looks runny(yuck)but Dont get it twited we love this place period.... read more

First time here. It's a place for lunch and breakfast in an old KFC building located in a seedy area. I walked in and it was busy. You seat yourself. The menu is not impressive and neither is the service. I had the avocado toast sandwich, it was something I could make at home for a lot cheaper that $8. It was 2 prices of toasted bread, a slice of tomato, some sliced avocado and an egg. It was not flavorful. Service was ok. No, I won't be back. read more

Woke up & decided to have some homemade breakfast, googled a couple of spots in the area and came across Franks. Granted, I'm a review reading type of gal & not going to lie the initial reviews had me slightly deterred... I figured everyone needs a chance , so I decided to go ahead & pop in! Slightly overwhelming initially ONLY because I've never been to Franks and didn't know that it was a self seating type of establishment. After being seated our server Ken showed up & showed nothing less than AMAZING service! From his personality to his service, to say the least I was very pleased. Food was great, the pork chop was SUPERB and the fried chicken wings that comes with the waffle was also top tier! Definitely recommend giving the Hwy 6 & Clay Rd location. read more

1st time trying this place, the food was fresh, hot and quick service! The staff was very polite. I would come back I enjoyed the food.

This place hits the spot! If you are looking for a good ole southern breakfast, this is the place to go. They offer liver in gravy, country fried steak, chicken fried chicken, pork chops, catfish, etc. They also offer the option of half n half-for those who like both grits and hashbrowns-me! They cook your eggs to order, and their grits have the right consistency-not gritty or soupy. I got the fried catfish, eggs, hash browns, grits, and toast. The catfish was cooked to perfection and seasoned just right-you didn't HAVE to add hot sauce or tartar sauce. And the toast-I normally don't eat toast. Usually it's too crisp/hard, no taste. Franks use Texas toast and butter it up for you-not too much but just right. I ate BOTH pieces! Very good flavor. Loved it! I will return. read more

This place is a hidden gem that's all I have to say. Pretty amazing breakfast !! You won't regret going to this place

In town from Los Angeles CA, I love to travel and enjoy our nation's cuisine. I was recently recommended to visit Frank's and glad that I did, my dish of choice is the fried chicken and waffles. The flour was properly seasoned as only a good wholesome home cook knows how, the chicken was juicy, crisp and golden to perfection and sprinkled with a whole lot of love. As far as the waffle, fluffy, light and golden, it was definitely my favorite breakfast in Houston so far. Thanks to the staff and your personalized attention. read more

Horrible service!!!!! We, a party of 3, came in at 11:50 AM.... it's now 1:09 PM with no food or utensils. A Larger group of people who sat AFTER us got their food BEFORE us. We asked for the manager. INSTEAD of SPRINTING to the kitchen to get our food and correct the issue, she went to camera tapes. She came back to our table WITH NO FOOD to tell us "Ma'am, you actually came in at 12" Whattttttttt!!!!!! You literally took time out of your busy schedule to review the tapes and to let me, the customer, know that we arrived at the establishment at 12 something!?!? The food came out about a min after the manager. Of course it food was incomplete and there were no utensils. I flagged down a waitress to ask for the rest of our food and utensils. Another 2 min passed by and she still didn't bring the rest of our food OR utensils. I picked up my purse and walked out. TRASH! read more

My only small issue was how much butter they put in their hash brown . And that's literally it! Otherwise, I enjoyed my food here read more

This was my first time at Frank's Grill it was amazing that was so funny and always joke around with each other.The cooks cooked so fast and the food tasted so good the food was so so so good I got to say it again .We ordered a cheeseburger with fries and a banana split Waffle 5 plus. Here are some pictures of the food we order. I hope you can come here on the outside it looks cheap but inside is beautiful. They got flooded during Harvey. They ahave a collage when you first walk in about it with pictures and caption and stuff etc. read more

My husband and I tried this place out on Christmas Eve for brunch and I ate the Chicken Fried Chicken Salad and he got the Chorizo Scramble. My salad (at first) was good and I could not eat it all so I brought half of it home. Later on in the day, I tasted it and some of the chicken strips tasted funny. I spit it out and threw the remainder in the trash. Later on that night, boy did I pay for it!!!! The worst stomach ache EVER and diarrhea. Not good to experience this into Christmas morning!!!! I so regret going there and had negative vibes when we entered the restaurant. It looked dirty and they seemed to be understaffed and not practicing cleanliness (especially with COVID around)!! They seem like a low budget restaurant with cheap ingredients and big portions but not worth me risking to get sick again!!! read more

One of the best diners in Texas! You feel at home by the friendly staff and the food filled with love. This isn't the place for a light salad, an appetite is required. Cleanliness is prioritized. Love love love this place and totally recommend it for families passing through with an empty stomach or just an impulse decision to eat genuine comfort food. read more

The good thing about this place is that it's really cheap, huge portions, and they have a drive thru! However I was not too impressed with the eggs and hash browns. The biscuits were good but kind of dry. I didn't like the atmosphere it seemed dirty and cramped, and it was really hot in there. I also kept smelling cigarette smoke which was disgusting while I'm trying to enjoy my meal. I unfortunately will not return. read more

Frank's use to be my favorite place for breakfast but those days are long gone. I've been in there three times in two weeks and had to leave twice as I was ignored. If you're unemployed and have 90 minutes to waste, take your bi-monthly check and enjoy. Lazy waitress at on her phone while the other waitress tries to cover the entire floor. Never going back. This was the Hwy 6 @ Clay Road location. read more

Come here hungry! We stopped in for breakfast Sunday morning and it was packed and for good reason! Huge portions and so many options to choose from. They had stuff on the menu that I would never, ever think of putting together, like fried catfish and waffles. I mean... fried catfish for breakfast?!? Also, they have these breakfast tacos that are huge and really tasty! We walked in and were greeted immediately with a wink and a big smile from the lady standing by the register. She told us it was seat yourself, so we did. Our waitress was really laid back, but friendly. We ordered the wings and waffle, a ham taco, and a bacon taco and split everything. The tacos are stuffed with meat, eggs, cheese, and hashbrowns!! They were both so good. The fried chicken was good and crispy, though I didn't find that it was very well seasoned. We left stuffed and happy. We will definitely be back. Maybe next time I can muster up the courage to go for the gusto and get the catfish... for breakfast... read more

My Aunt and Uncle went here on July 12, 2020 and ordered the chicken fried chicken and there was hair in the chicken (see pictures). The hair was actually cooked in the chicken smh. The waiter was notified and took the plate. The manager comes back with the check and says I took the OJ off. SERIOUSLY!!! The manager advised that it is their policy that if you find hair in your food you still have to pay for it. They tried to reach out to the GM and haven't gotten a response back yet. This place doesn't even deserve a 1 star. ITS PROBABLY IN YOUR BEST INTEREST TO STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. read more

Try the biscuits when you go ...taste like your great grandmas you know the kind where you actually kneed the dough with love, yeah those biscuits read more

We decided to try this place out for a nice Sunday breakfast, based on the other reviews we read on Yelp -- we were not disappointed! When you first walk into Frank's, it doesn't feel all that special -- nothing catchy about the decor or the furnishings. Very non-descript. While there is nothing physically setting Frank's apart, you can't help but feel you've stepped into some familiar place, where everybody is super-friendly, and most of the staff knows the customers by name. It was clear there were plenty of regulars there, and we weren't quite sure what to do -- a sign by the door says to "seat yourself," so we grabbed a nearby table -- but there were no menus on the table... At this point, I should share with you that I sometimes get a small amount of anxiety about trying a new place, especially one that has a different mode of service than I am used to. I don't mind going to a restaurant where you'll be sat, and a server will come and get your order, and that's the way things happen. But in new situations, I become very self-conscious -- I'm thinking situations like a sushi-bar for the first time, or a Mongolian Grill, or a fondue restaurant. The uncertainty of what I should be doing creates anxiety for me...I guess mostly I don't want to look or sound foolish. This is a weird thing, because I'm usually very self-confident, but in this I sometimes falter. So, back to the review -- we're sitting at this table, with no menus, and I'm beginning to wonder if I was supposed to grab a menu, or maybe order at the counter -- within a couple of minutes, however, a nice person came by, gave us menus, and took a drink order. The drinks were brought over (water for me, coffee for the wife, though they didn't bring enough creamers -- only one! And when she asked for more, they brought her two more -- for those who drink a lot of creme in your coffee, I guess you can see the problem in this). A couple of minutes later, a different server came up and took our order. A little bit after that, a different server brought our food. Yet another server checked on us to see if everything was ok. It seemed like everybody was stopping by to check on us. THAT was pretty cool! As for the food -- it was all pretty great! The pancakes my wife ordered were pretty big! Not the biggest I've ever seen, but still a great size, bigger than the plate they were served on. The bacon she got with the order was also pretty amazing -- thickly cut, and perfectly cooked. Probably some of the best bacon we've had. I ordered two eggs with a hamburger patty. The eggs were awesome, the big mound of home-made hashbrowns that came with it were awesome, and the hamburger patty was tasty. I wish they had asked how I wanted it cooked, because the meat was perhaps a bit over-done. Next time I'll ask if I can get it done medium or medium rare -- I know, I'm an unhealthy son of a biscuit...speaking of biscuits, OMG these were the biggest biscuits I've ever seen. Each biscuit would be about TWICE the size of a regulr big biscuit. In fact, my wife split one of the biscuits in two, and the remaining half looked like a regular big biscuit by itself. VERY nice! This place also offers a drive-thru service, which I think is pretty awesome for a greasy spoon like this. The refills were fast, the bathrooms were acceptable, the staff was great. I would highly recommend this place for a pretty good breakfast, at a pretty good price! read more

Frank's Grill - That's a BIG pancake! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Houston, Texas

My cousin and I went to this place after church. Let me first start off by saying they give really good food portions for the price. I had the chicken & eggs, hash browns with mushrooms, onions, jalapeños, & tomatoes, with toast on the side.... I know it sounds like a lot but it wasn't lol.... Let me just say that CHICKEN was the best chicken I've ever had in my life!!!! It was fried perfectly it was so crispy... Oh yeah I also had a waffle with strawberries and whipped cream... Let me just say awesome is an understatement when it comes to their waffles.... The place is self seating and a little small. If you go at a reasonable time you should be able to find a seat. Our waitress was GREAT! She worked very well under pressure while keeping a great attitude. I live 30-45 minutes away depending on traffic. I would not mind driving in traffic everyday to get their food. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone! read more

A friend and I stopped by Frank's. He's eaten there before and I needed to be in that part of town. Nothing fancy, but quite a few folks coming and going all the time! Found a table and was greeted by a very nice waitress. Decided on chicken fried steak with green beans, okra and onion rings. Also asked for unsweetened tea. She was very prompt with the tea and the kitchen is open so you can see them cooking! Wasn't long before she brought our food. Nice portion of chicken fried steak. The white gravy was very good, not the usual paste you get. The green beans were absolutely great. I know it sounds crazy raving about green beans, but they were really good and FRESH. The okra was typical out of the bag fried but good and the same for the onion rings. The service was stellar, never had to ask for refills or anything and they were very busy!!! Bottom line, would I go back? YOU BET! I noticed, even with it being lunch, there were many people ordering breakfast. Huge plates and I watched the people as they finished and there was not a speck of food left on their plates! read more

Update- I just could not stand it so I called right after I left-Jennifer the manager was great on the phone. She convinced me to come back another day and try the place again and will take care of next meal. That was nice of her. Jennifer thank you. Last weekend food was good. In fact the fried fish I loved so much I had no room for the rest of the meal. Today had the craving but fish was not good. Little disappointed since I can get eggs many places around. However since I sent Fish back with waitress I had assumed she wouid have removed it from my bill. Well they did not! When I asked the waitress about it she stared at me and promptly walked away. Cooks need to be consistent... read more

This was my first time at this location. The waitress bragged that this location was better than the one on Westheimer which is closest to me but I really don't care for. So needless to say, she set the bar high for my expectations here from the start. Upon entering, we were greeted and ask to seat ourselves. We found a seat by the window . So far so good. We were approached within mins by a server who took our drink orders. She was very nice and accommodating. I asked for fried wings and pancakes instead of the traditional waffles. She said they could do that, no problem. I also asked for strawberries and whipped cream on my waffle. My order came out wings and waffles with strawberries and whip. I reminded her I wanted pancakes instead. She quickly brought me pancakes but minus the strawberries and whip cream. I reminded her of the strawberries and whip and I thought she was going to take my pancake back and add it but she didn't. She bought a little cup of microwaved strawberry glazed topping and a cup of whip cream and I had to rake it on my pancake myself. I am not a complainer and I don't make a fuss. I observe everything though and I feel that she was a little annoyed that I reminded her of what i ordered. I just chalked it up to her being a forgetful waitress. My friend ordered grits that came out late and cold and she wanted brown sugar with them that did not come out the first time around. She sent the grits back to be re heated. Nobody will enjoy cold grits. I wanted ketchup for my fried chicken wings which she never remembered to bring. I panned the dining room and several tables aver I spotted a container of ketchup. I got up, walked across the room and got it myself. The food was delicious. The wings were fried and seasoned to perfection and the pancake was good too. The atmosphere is nice and I left a decent tip for my friendly yet forgetful waitress. The cashier who checked us out was extremely nice and chatty as we paid. I enjoyed talking with her a lot. I would come back to this location again because it was clean and the staff was overall friendly and tried to be accommodating. I don't feel any type a way because my server kept forgetting stuff. I am very forgiving and she could have been having a bad day. She was nice enough that I would definitely give her another shot as well. read more
