4 PC Combo with Fries
Eleanor R.

This was my first time here and they did not disappoint. My fiancée and I both ordered the 4 PC combo and the chicken came out hot and fresh! Full of flavor! I learned about dark vs white meat (I don't eat fried chicken often). Now that I know, the dark meat is way juicier so def recommend. And I also usually don't eat the skin, however their skin is delish! We also ordered the boudin egg rolls. Did not get a photo, however they were bomb too! And the service was excellent. The lady was patient with me it being my first time, they even gave both of us an extra piece of chicken. The establishment is clean, clean restrooms too. Overall great experience and I recommend if you're craving some fresh flavorful fried chicken, this is the spot to come!

I had an amazing experience with Frenchie's restaurant in Houston--even though I didn't dine in person. I ordered through DoorDash while staying at a hotel, and I was genuinely impressed that everything arrived still hot, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. The food was cooked to perfection, and the portions were generous without being overpriced. I ordered the chicken along with sides of red beans and rice, collard greens, and a roll, and every single item exceeded expectations. The flavors were rich, comforting, and clearly made with care. What stood out most was how well the quality held up through delivery. Even after transport, nothing felt soggy or lacking it tasted like it had just come straight out of the kitchen. This recommendation originally came from Beyoncé, a Houston native, and I can honestly say it did not disappoint at all. Whenever I'm back in Houston, I will absolutely be ordering from them again or hopefully visiting in person next time.

3-Piece Chicken Tenders with Dirty Rice.
DeWayne R.

Passing through downtown Houston near the University of Houston, the smell of Frenchy's Chicken literally invaded my car -- so I had no choice but to stop. The drive-thru was packed, so I parked, ordered online through their website, and went inside to pick it up. The line inside was just as long as the drive-thru, but they have a pickup window just outside the dining area for online orders, which made things easy. I went with the chicken tenders, dirty rice, and a strawberry Fanta. You really can't go wrong with Frenchy's. The food has been consistently good since way back when I was in middle school. Even though this location moved a block from where it originally was, that Louisiana Cajun flavor hasn't changed one bit -- and clearly neither has the demand, judging by the nonstop lines. Funny side note: I was on a call with a friend who moved from Houston to the U.K. decades ago, and when I showed him my meal, it literally brought a tear to his eye. That's the power of Frenchy's.

I should avoid this place at all cost. Every time I'm in town I am drawn to visit despite my better judgment. This is my favorite chicken spot in the Houston and Austin area. It's been hot, can't always say fast, but lately the service times have improved, too. If you see chicken bones flying out the window because I can't hold off eating the chicken that is likely me.

I had a craving for some fried chicken! I am so happy that they started securing the packaging as I ordered from a delivery service. I cannot attest to the actual location due to the delivery. I love when my drumsticks are small and they actually gave me more pieces than I ordered. I think this will be my new location to order from!

Four piece with dirty rice in a row and a jalapeño. Strawberry soda, hot sauce and ketchup. OMG so good.

This is not the Frenchies I went to, but I want to let it be known. There's a new franchise on telephone Road and Park Place in the gas station. It is very good. Excellent highly recommend telephone road in Park Place. It's in a gas station

Overrated chicken spot. The staff appeared unhappy and wasn't welcoming. It's almost as if they're mad you're there. The chicken is mediocre and the greens left me second guessing my choices. The fries were really good though! There was plenty of dining room and they're cashless so make sure you have a card.

Sweet and savory flavor
Chris M.

First time visiting this location literally across the street from U of H. My first impressions are that it does robust to go business via drive thru. We wanted the full experience so we dined in. It is a walk up counter and there is a kiosk to place your order. The attendant is very quick to get your order and very knowledgeable about the menu. She asked me what chicken I preferred on my campus combo. I didn't know you get a choice and this was very generous and thoughtful of her to ask. I knew we were here for the chicken and some other goodies I know they do well! I had red beans and rice as my side with the 2 jalapeno peppers, sweet cornbread, and added boudin egg rolls and didn't want to pass up the peach cobbler. I love their chicken here because it is unique with a light coating of fried breading that is seasoned very well. I am sure the ingredients are a secret lol. The food took a while to come out and it was pretty busy at lunch. The interior dining space is small and there is plenty of outdoor seating. Frenchy's is a must visit Houston institution for some southern fried chicken! I totally recommend making a visit out here for some great comfort food.

Dirty Rice - Regular
Tauqilla M.

A friend suggested that I try this fried chicken since I was new to the Houston area. I went through the drive thru and 2 lanes were in operation and I still waited 30 minutes The lines were long. The attendant, I forgot the name, was very stellar and talked that location up so well. Very cheerful. The chicken was very flavorful and tasty. It has to be in the top two of the best fried chicken I've ever had. The crunch was top tier. It was fresh and the temp was still hot. The dirty rice wasn't dirty enough for me and it was dry and bland. The cornbread was a choking hazard. It was very dry as well. If I ever went again, it would be for the chicken only.

Frankie H.

I haven't been to the new location of Frenchy's in 3rd Ward. It is a very nice spot and spacious area inside. Frenchy's is one of the only restaurants that have good greens and cornbread, they both don't have sugar which no sugar is the best flavor for me. The fried chicken is tasteful not to salty but good seasoned. The wings are kind of small but they tasted good.

Tiny portions
Trish D.

I heard a lot about this p lace, but they must have been in a slump when I visited. The chicken was tasty, but overpriced. The staff didn't seem like they were in a good mood.

Just before closing, we had the place to ourselves and got to shoot the S with the owner who gave us its very cool history. 38 years in, and a few miles on his ledger, Marty still cranks out some fabulous food! The place was like walking into the 50's, with the old school metal tables and ample linoleum. I LOVE Louisiana cooking, and it couldn't have been more authentic. The only problem I had with my shrimp gumbo is the bowl was too small (actually a filling portion) and loaded with succulent, tender shrimp. Yummmmm! The cornbread was sublime and dipping it in the gumbo was killer! John had a Po Boy and said it was heavenly. The fries were obviously fresh cut and perfect. We finished with the bread pudding as we are both connoisseurs, and boy did it not disappoint. Thank You for yet another 5 star experience and a return visit will be on the horizon! Cheers, JimG

The shrimp and grits were unique and unlike any I've had before.

I thought the taste and texture was nice, but the size of the shrimp was rather small. The quantity was also good, I was just hoping there would be more depth of flavor. The hush puppies and fries were tasty and I was impressed with the amount given as side dishes. The interior was lovely and very crowded. I will say that there is some confusion on where to go for ordering in vs picking up ordered food and the noise level was quite high. The employees were very friendly and helpful however and made sure we were helped in as timely a manner as was possible. A nice place to get some fried seafood.

Nut allergy friendly: Pretty much no issues here!…read more Parking: There's some in the strip mall but definitely less than at the Bellaire location. Time to Appetizers: 20 Minutes Time to Crawfish: 25 Minutes It's a solid branch from the main location in Bellaire, but they're missing some things. For example, the Bellaire location has the new Viet-Cajun flavor of sauce that hasn't debuted here yet (though you can DIY a mix). (Review is for July 2026 if they've updated since then) We got here at 6:05PM and got seated with no issues. Ordered the following: Combo #1 with extra corn and potatoes (3.5/5): Crawfish isn't in season, so don't be surprised at my low rating. It's still great and flavorful all around. Garlic Noodles with Shrimp (4/5): Still incredibly rich and buttery and garlicy and great for a palate cleanser. I'd skip the shrimp; you get eight pieces for $10 extra and that's not really worth it. Crawfish Beignets (4.5/5): Still a fantastic appetizer. Comes out hot, crispy, buttery, and is a really indulgence. 1 lb. Little Neck Clams (4.5/5): I liked these more than the crawfish tbh. It really does depend on what's in season. Very easy to eat, very flavorful. Service was generally good but our server seemed slammed; it took a long time to get water refills and to place extra orders (we got a second order of beignets to-go). Market price for crawfish is high and they're not in season, so don't be afraid to ask. The Combo #1 in July 2026 was $22. Overall, I'll probably be back during crawfish season especially because it's more convenient for me than the Bellaire location, but the Bellaire location has it beat for general atmosphere after the remodeling and much better options for mixes there.

Inside it's a nice restaurant with an upscale feel to it. I ordered a house salad for $9 to start and the Pasta Rosa entree for another $28. The salad arrived first with a generous amount of romaine lettuce with diced tomatoes, cucumber, shredded carrots and chopped eggs on top. With my chosen ranch dressing it was a good tasting salad. The Pasta Rosa dish had sliced Parmesan strips on top of penne with shrimp, crawfish and sausage for the protein with mushrooms and a tomato cream sauce. This meal initially tricked me. My first impression was that while there was plenty of protein the taste of the tomato cream sauce was lacking some flavor. I expected more. However as I kept eating and getting beyond the top layer of the food the flavor increased significantly. I think that the proteins caused the sauce in the lower half of the dish to create more punch. This dish got better and better and I changed my mind. It turned out to be a very good tasting and filling meal. Finally the table service was very good too. P.S. I also tried part of another appetizer which was the bar b q shrimp for $16.

I am a huge Crawfish Cafe fan in general, but this was my first time visiting this location. It's a very nice location in what looks to be a newer shopping center. There's tons of parking available. I can't remember exactly what day we came, but it was pretty busy at lunch time. Luckily we were able to be seated right away at a booth. Service was great from start to finish. Our main goal eating here that day was to convince our out of state friend how great crawfish is. Her one experience before wasn't great but I knew coming to Crawfish Cafe would change her mind. We started off with a few of my favorite appetizers. First off was some a sampler of oyster. I'm more of a chargrilled oyster fan and that was my favorite of the bunch even though they were all good. I just gotta have calamari anywhere I go. They do it really well here and add some Cajun flair to theirs. We also shared some of the wings. They do more of a dry Cajun rub and it is very good. Two of us went with boil combos. I like the Combo 1 which comes with 1 pound of crawfish, 1/2 a pound of shrimp, 1 corn and 1 potato. It's the right amount of food for me since I am a slow peeler. I also added a sausage link. My go to for sauces is the signature house blend which is a combination of their garlic butter and kickin' Cajun. It always hits the spot. The day we came, the crawfish were big and easy to peel. The sauce was on point and it had just the right amount of heat without being overwhelming. Our out of town guest had the etouffee and loved it, but also loved some of our boiled crawfish as well. I think we did a solid job of converting a once crawfish hater thanks to Crawfish Cafe. This location was great and I would happily come back next time I am in the area.
