Visit here after departing from TSU, came for the boudin eggrolls. They were fresh, per usual since they are made to order. And they are spicy. I don't really eat spicy. I can't tell if it was the eggrolls or more so the sauce that was winning the spicy war. But it went in hot, and came out hot; if you know what I mean. Definitely a once in a pink moon for me. But they're good though read more

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. read more

Frenchy’s Chicken - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Houston, Texas

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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.

It is just OK. The greens are worth coming for the fried fish is OK. It would've been better. Had it been fresh but it was seasoned well. The fried chicken is trash. I don't know if they are not cooking it long enough. I don't know what's going on, but it was not cooked long enough and it was chewy. The seasoning is only on the outside in the breading. There's no brine there's no depth of flavor. The dirty rice is also just OK. Love supporting black businesses. Is this the best in Houston? I certainly hope not. I would only recommend getting the fried fish. Customer service was amazing though. Lemon cake was clearly not fresh. It was dried out, but had good flavor couldn't finish. It ended up being a waste of money because it was dry and old. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Frenchy's Chicken is a Houston classic. The fried chicken is crispy and flavorful -- no wonder Beyoncé loves it. The sides, like red beans and rice and mashed potatoes, are just as good. Casual and friendly spot. read more

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. read more

Learned of Frenchy's on You Tube from a Texas vlogger. I loved the history and said we absolutely must visit when we are in Houston! Undecided, we ordered chicken wings and fish to share, with greens and red beans and rice and a corn muffin. The greens were cooks well but a big too vinegary. Red beans were bland and the bean to rice ratio was 80/20. We were accidentally given dirty rice (I couldn't recall if I made an error until I checked the receipt) and Chiya quickly replaced the dirty rice with the red beans and rice. The dirty rice was gummy and very bland. Then corn muffin was chewy and no hint of sweetness. The chicken and fish? Perfection! Fried to the tee and the right amount of seasoning. I do prefer chicken that has been de-feathered (see pics). I know it's cheaper to purchase but I did remove the feathers before consuming the chicken. Peach cobbler...somebody's great auntie is in the kitchen. DEElicious! Had a taste of hubby's cake which is good as well. I will definitely return for the chicken, fish and cobbler. read more

I love this place. As long as the chicken is fresh it is amazing. I get the 3 piece campus and the big catch fish and shrimp together. which I feel is slept on. Service is quick and fast and for the most part it's clean when I want to dine in. The dirty rice is hit or miss on flavor. Fries are greatly seasoned love them. read more

The Popeyes of the south but with better desserts. It was clean inside which I appreciated. The fried chicken was nothing to write home about but it was good. Dirty rice and fries were very good. The corn pudding had way too much black pepper in it. Hawaiian rolls instead of biscuits is nasty work, but I do enjoy a Hawaiian roll. I only stopped here because it's Beyonce's favorite chicken spot but I'll pass. read more

If you are going to make your customers wait over 20 minutes in Drive Thru, at least make sure the food is hot. All these folks working on a Friday night at 10p & after a 20 minute wait, customers still get a Thigh instead of the Chicken Breast ordered, cold fries, 3 cubes of ice in a drink, a hard ass roll, & lukewarm Boudain Rolls. Not the same 3rd Ward Frenchy's the customers are used to craving. Wow! Do better. read more

The food if you catch it hot is decent. The service is absolutely sub par. The wait especially drive thru is horrendous. The ambiance I guess is okay. But man there wait and the lethargic nature of the employees will keep the place ever reaching "the spot" type of status read more

This is amazing chicken! I will happily deal with the maze to get into the parking lot, the random ppl walking up to the window to take ur order, and the extremely long wait while the gaggle of young people inside the kitchen he'd do everything but prepare your food. All of that notwithstanding, the chicken is still worth it. Plus it's where Beyonce eats so... read more

So it's been years since I've had Frenchy's Chicken. I went to school at TSU so it was in my rotation in college....To my surprise, the location moved as it appears the church next to the original location got even bigger so that whole block changed....back to the food, the chicken was as bomb as it was when I was in college 20 years ago. I ordered the 5 wing meal deal with french fries....I also asked for biscuits but they don't sell biscuits anymore!!! As much as it was a major let down that they stopped selling their delicious biscuits (w honey!) the chicken was as tasty as ever and the fries were perfectly seasoned. While it occured to me to drop the rating, the food was still as good as I remember. They need to bring back the biscuits....it's a must. Anyways, there's no better fried chicken on the planet than this place. If your in Houston this is a must and in particular, the TSU/UH Frenchy's. read more

I love, love your fried chicken but the salt level seemed to increase since the beginning. More than usual I have a craving for your chicken but I just can't take the salt level. I would really, really love it if the salt level was decreased to the way it was at Frenchy's beginning, I would be forever grateful. read more

The inside was nice. A bit tight in regards to room. Line was long but moved quick. But receiving the food took forever. No waiting area. Just a bunch of people crowded in a tiny spot like sardines in a tin can. Seriously the food took forever to come out. And the food was ok. Nothing special. Overall it was too salty. Chicken wasnt dry which is nice. The fries were mediocre. I will not be making that trip again read more

Frenchy's makes some of my favorite fried chicken. My first time trying it was to grab some chicken to enjoy at a park... we never made it to the park. We ordered or food to-go, and then decided to devour it on the patio while it was pipin' hot. It was perfection. I was worried the batter would be over-salted - and it was not. It was crispy with the right amount of spice and peppers. Only thing missing was Big Red. This particular location is direclty across from UofH; it has a drive-thru and a whole 'lota parking. I've yet to try their fried fish and shrimp options. Side options vary by location, and this one only has fries, collard greens, red beans, and I think dirty rice. read more

This is one of my daughter place to come to when she is craving her fried shrimp!.. Their chickens is on point every time!.. Even though we went through the drive thru the service is always great and friendly. The atmosphere is not fancy but they their food made up the difference!.. read more

Came by Frenchy's after tutoring at the nearby library. I've only had it once since moving to Houston, back when they were in the old location, so I figured I'd see what the new spot is like. First impressions: the building looks great from the outside and was clean inside. There's a nice outdoor seating area, though it was empty during my visit. I skipped the always-long drive-thru and went inside instead. It was clean and had music playing, which added to a slightly loud but lively vibe. One thing I noticed was a sign that said something like "We focus on coaching, not counting." I learned that they don't accept cash payments--card only. The idea is that managers should focus on developing the team instead of being stuck in the back counting coins. I actually really liked that philosophy, but honestly, the front-end team could still use a bit of coaching. Everyone looked neat and uniform, which was a plus, but the cashier seemed a little distracted and not super polished. I ordered two 5-wing meals with fries and dirty rice. Fries were solid. I didn't try the rice (my mom did), but the chicken was just okay. It tasted like it had been fried in old grease. Not terrible, but not that signature flavor Frenchy's is known for either. Overall? Not bad, not amazing. I'll probably give it one more shot before I make a final judgment. read more

More like Englishy's Chicken because the employees here didn't speak French and didn't seem fresh off the bus from Paris, Marseille, or anywhere else along those lines for that matter. Or should I say fresh off Le Concorde. But regardless, the wait time was a little off-putting, but the fried chicken was delicious, absolutely some of the best I've had in Texas, and highly recommended. I brought Bae here and she agrees completely. Top notch and well worth a try. There are a few different locations, and this one tastes excellent. read more

I first visited Frenchy's while dropping off my niece for her first year of college before heading back for my long drive home. I saw this small building with a long line. Back then, in 1902, it was only one location. But I do remember the chicken as having its own flavor and being very tasted, and to be honest, I haven't come across a crispy chicken and dirty rice since that tastes like Frenchy's. So, today, it was nice to go back down memory lane. The food was the same, very good. But what I don't remember is the college being directly across the street from Frenchy. I think maybe Frenchy moved down the street in front of the college. But, anywho, the chicken was good, and so was the dirty rice and greens. I love the cornbread, too. The peach cobbler as well, and I bought two of them. I guess you can say I'm a gluttony, but I knew it would be good, so I ordered two. Thanks for the good food and memories, Frenchy! read more

I'm in Houston and I had to try the popular Frenchy's Chicken! It is all what I heard about! And Beyoncé bragged about it highly in her recent renaissance film, so I had to try it. The food is so delicious made fresh and fried to perfection. Just very good! It's good to try other fried chicken and how they are prepared. This place has a variety of fried foods like shrimp, chicken, and fish. The service is good and they will tell you what's good and what to order from the menu. They are pleasant and patient while ordering. They call your name and order number when you order is ready. I recommend the chicken for sure and to try the shrimp and fish. I may have to go back before I leave to try it! The chicken was that good! And the prices were reasonable for combos. It's very nice inside and updated. It's plenty of seating outside and indoor. Very spacious and clean. The downside however, is that they do not give out hot sauce, only peppers , which will increase the spicy level. The greens were bland but cooked well just needed salt or hot sauce added to it :) Overall, it's a lot of parking in the lot and gets very busy with long lines. I recommend here and will come back again. The food pleased me, no complaints! I see why this is a popular gem in Houston since 1969. -Marshay D. read more

Frenchy’s Chicken - 2 piece dark with Frenchy's Gris Gris, roll + pepper - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Houston, Texas

Do not go here. I was served bad food and now my friend and I are both sitting in the ER with food poisoning.

After being on TSU campus most of the morning, we headed over to the student union and caught a whiff of some fried chicken and it wasn't the fast food chain on most campuses. It was coming from the dining hall. Decided to use Yelp and ran over here to Frenchy's Chicken, and was pleasantly surprised that it hit the spot for what we were smelling. The staff was fun as we cracked jokes to lighten the mood. They were professional and very informative to us newbies. They helped us out and decided to go with The three-piece combo as well as the five-piece wing combo. The cornbread was subpar and the greens and Mac were good compliments. The big surprise was the Boudin balls, a.k.a. egg rolls with boudin. Started off with just two and the server joked that I'll be back for more and she was right. Prior to leaving, I placed an order of 4 (which is a total of eight) to go and share with friends or family back at the house. Also grabbed a slice of Sweet Potato Pie and Lemon Cake for the road. Both were good. read more

When I'm in Houston, I head for Frenchy's for excellent fried chicken at a loud friendly spot. Here, you don't need to choose your level of spice, because their chicken always hits that sweet spot between bland and spicy. The crunch level is just right as well, and the meat is tender and juicy. In a busy Saturday, the place was fully staffed, which is nice to see. Too many places these days seem to have too few people for decent customer service. Ad I sat, enjoying my meal, two guys were moving around the dining area, checking in with customers and cleaning up. Daryl came by, introduced himself and said to let him know if I needed anything. I told him what I need is a Frenchy's location in Austin. He gave a big laugh and said he'd pass that along. My only complaint is that whether you carry out or eat in, your order comes in a box--and in a plastic bag. The bag is pure waste if you eat in, and I hate eating out of a box! How about a plate or a paper tray for dining in? read more

After a few years I've been in HTX, I was FINALLY able to visit THE Frenchy's Chicken. What can I say? Life be lifeing and I've been a busy gal. Anywhoo, first: be prepared to wait. I cannot stress this enough. The reviews warned me, but I still wasn't prepared. Whether you prepare to dine in or go via drive thru, you will be waiting for your order at a minimum 20 minutes. But tbh, I'm not complaining about my wait, because the food was so freaking delicious, omg! I could tell it was freshly made and not just sitting around. The chicken was so juicy, the fries seasoned perfectly and the roll was so soft and fresh. This was probably one of my favorite meals since being in HTX honestly. I live in North HTX, but I don't mind taking the occasional drive when the craving hits. For reference, I ordered the 3 piece campus meal and I was stuffed. Also, from reviews I've seen all over, this particular location is the best one, which is why I journeyed out, although there is a location closer in Humble. In closing...I'm a real Houstonian now! I've finally had some Frenchy's! read more
