"Founded by New Orleans native Percy “Frenchy” Creuzot Jr. on July 3, 1969 at 3919 Scott St. (across from Wheeler Avenue Baptist Church), this Houston icon began as a quick-serve spot for New Orleans–style Creole cooking and has grown to ten locations. It’s best known for seasoned fried chicken made from a family recipe and soulful sides like dirty rice, red beans, and collard greens, along with staples such as French fries, cornbread, and lemon pound cake. The restaurant enjoys a strong local and celebrity following—Beyoncé has visited multiple times and was recently photographed eating a crispy drumstick during a trip tied to a political rally—and the company says celebrities, politicians, and everyday patrons alike frequently stop by or have the restaurant cater events, though specific details are kept private." - Brittany Britto Garley
