Frank's Grill

The inside has been rearranged a bit, and the menu seems to have contracted a little, but you can definitely still count on the food and the service! I really wanted French toast and sausage and hash browns, and they were perfect! Our server was wonderful, too!

Frank’s Grill serves up huge portions and good, hearty food. I had the chicken fried chicken with mashed potatoes and green beans everything was flavorful and satisfying. My husband enjoyed the grilled pork chops with eggs, grits, hash browns, and toast. The service was okay, likely because we came in right after a big rush. Overall, a solid spot for comfort food and generous servings.

Franks has your classic diner style breakfast without the taste of old grease. We love coming here and highly recommend getting the breakfast combo. Everything is Texas sized of course. The mini waffles came with the combo and are easily my favorite. They’re an inch thick and about 3 inches wide EACH. My math says that’s a whole lot of waffle to classify as “mini” 😂

This morning I went to Frank's Grill on Telephone Rd for the first time, I wanted to try "the best breakfast", but it wasn't in my opinion, hashbrowns should be made by using a grater, but Frank's looked like it came from a mixer and looked almost like mashed potatoes, coffee tasted "old", I like Chalua on my eggs but they didn't have it, and then there's the service in between the order and the ticket, there wasn't any check up! You know what I mean, the waiter/ress would come by and check to see if I needed a refill of coffee or "how are you doing, is everything okay or good?" She did not do that, she just took my order and brought the ticket, boo! For "the best breakfast in town"! But I had a "I should have gone to Kelley's instead, at least you get better service, better coffee,and you get more for your money than at Frank's, for the for the food I gave 2 stars but that is generous, lol! And 1 for the lack of attention received, I hope it is a little bit better the next time I visit!

Place has good home cook country style food from breakfast to lunch. I’ve never had a bad experience and I always go by myself because it does get packed on the weekends and I’ll sit at the bar top. The time that I did wait with my family to get seated it wasn’t more than 10-15 min of waiting. The waitresses are always very respectful and attentive.

So, I was pretty excited about trying this place because of some of the reviews. The only thing, honestly, that was good was my pancakes. I couldn't even eat the biscuits or hash browns. The eggs were decent, and the sausage tasted like Walmart sausage that you make in the microwave. The service wasn't the best; I had to ask multiple times for something that should already be given when the drinks come (straws). Then, they were trying to charge me for three pancakes when I only got two. Luckily, I paid attention to that. They have signs everywhere about tipping, which honestly made me want to tip less than I normally do.

First time at this location! Finding parking was a bit of a mess, and the plaza could definitely use an update. It had a ‘mom-and-pop’ vibe but on a larger scale. It was a Saturday morning, fairly busy, but we were still seated quickly, even with our large group and the staff was very friendly. Zujey was our server, and she did a phenomenal job. We were a group of 11, and she handled everything efficiently. She was nice, patient, detailed, and attentive. Thank you, Zujey! I ordered the ‘Frank’s Grill Special,’ and it was okay. The food didn’t have much flavor, but I did enjoy the mini waffles and grits. I could appreciate the portion sizing, which was generous without being overwhelming. Overall, I’d rate it 7/10. Thank you, Frank’s Grill, for a good brunch experience!

This place is very straight forward, nothing fancy but still a solid breakfast spot. I got the Frank’s grill special. It comes with 1 sausage patty, 2 slices of bacon, 2 eggs, I got half grits and half hash brown, a the 2 mini waffles. The portion sizes were great. I enjoyed everything except for the grits, they weren’t as creamy as I like mine, but overall this place is good.

I was looking high and low for a breakfast spot here on the south side of Houston and due to many praises- I came here. I did not come to be awed by aesthetics, I came to experience Houston in its element and EAT GOOD. I'm so glad I listened and tried this place out. I wanted a southern comfort breakfast and I got just that. Fried fish ( I love that cornmeal is used and not just plain flour) with grits, scrambled eggs, with two freshly baked biscuits. As you can see, the portions are generous and the price you cannot beat! I came around 930 AM and there were a handful of guests already seated, but as I was enjoying my meal the people were piling in. The fish was so good and I added plenty of butter on top of my biscuits and grits. The biscuits were warm and tender with an airy texture. I'm not the type to put sugar in grits- please keep it savory! They were made perfectly and tied the meal together. I wanted the peach mango juice but they unfortunately ran out, but the cranberry raspberry juice was a nice alternative. The waitress always checked on me despite looking after numerous parties which I appreciated. I would say that this diner restaurant is a great option for out of towners to eat and be satisfied.

Amazing deal, great food, great service and even better prices. Thank you Franks staff!!

This place is a no frills breakfast place. It's cheap. Its packed. And the turnover is quick! Stopped by again on Sunday, after about a 10-15 minute wait, we were seated. After 5-10 minutes, our server came and took our drink order and food orders. I only saw her twice after that, to deliver the food and to deliver the check. Do not expect seasoned food. They just cook it ok? But they do have turkey bacon! And the pancakes are delicious! I don't expect any frills so I'll be back on the mornings I don't want to make my own breakfast!

It's open seating, so pick a table any table. I think people go there for breakfast, but it was 1... my brain and stomach was telling me I needed to order off lunch menu. Chicken royal but make it lettuce wrap with fries please. I should've just ordered it the way it came on the menu but I wanted to be special *smh*. The lettuce wasn't really wrapped around grilled chicken and fixins so it just slid. The mushrooms were canned mushrooms and sat on top of the melted cheese. I'm going to give them another whirl and try their breakfast-- it did smell good.

Great food - nice and hot . Service not good though! Nice larger location . Prices were very affordable.

We left at 20 min,10 min to get the menu even though the there was two waitresses just standing near the door,once we set our drink at 7 min we decided to leave the waitress was not even on our drinks but standing there when we notified her we where going somewhere else 1/30/2026 10:00am

If you like good diner food I think this is the place to go! I went for late breakfast on a Sunday around 12pm and there was no wait but still pretty crowded so it's a little on the louder side but no problem for me. The service is what you would expect at a diner in my opinion but nonetheless the food was good and it came out pretty fast. The portions being serviced here to me are huge I had an omelette that I had to take to go and my friend had the chicken tenders and waffles which by the way comes with an ENTIRE basket of tenders not just 2-3 served on top. I'd never seen that before! Will definitely be back to check out Franks again.

Let's talk great reasonable prices for a fresh hot breakfast. Hands down Frank's Grill has been the GOAT !!! Plenty of clean seating & friendly staff. Worth the ride

This is always my go to place for a good hearty breakfast. This time I ordered carry out. The food is always cooked exactly how I like it. Eggs are scrambled hard. Chicken wings are tasty and fried to perfection. Service is always fast even though they are quite busy. The restaurant is always clean. Definitely a place I recommend others to try.

This is one of my favorite breakfast orders and my go to anytime I don't want to cook breakfast. One order is easily split between two people. Comes with 2 large catfish filets, coated with a crispy corn meal and fried perfectly. Also two eggs made any way you like and two sides. Yum! Most of the time I get double grits, but this time I tried the hash browns. It's homestyle, more like a breakfast potato. I would have liked a little more seasoning on those potatoes.

You ain't coming for experience, you're coming for halfway decent quick service and a good homestyle meal. The catfish is my staple, big and fried hard. Highly recommend! The sides are the standard flair. Get in, get your belly filled, get out type of joint!

Went here for breakfast it was a sunshine day after the gloomy. I actually passed this place up cause I thought it was at the old location. Now if you pass the family dollar that's across the street you passed it completely. Walked in and had to seat myself so I found a seat and music was enjoyable. Then comes my waitress she gives me a menu and I order my food. I got the wings and waffle with a side of eggs everything is so high now. Waited a while for my food to be done it took maybe 5-10 minutes. Ate my food waffle was tasty and eggs needed salt and pepper to my liking and could have been on the stove a little longer. Wings were crispy and fried hard the way I like it. Everything was good. Would definitely come back I remember when I was a kid I use to sit at the booths. Waffle 8/10 Wings 9/10 Eggs 7/10 Coffee 6/10

Big portions and always filling. Seat yourself policy and wait staff is friendly and part of the crew from the original location. My favorite is the grilled chicken meal and biscuits. Waffles and chicken is fire. Hashbrowns need some TLC Get there early because they stay busy. One of my go-to spots for breakfast

Place is really nice! Portions are a nice size as well! Hash browns and eggs had no seasoning but the steak was seasoned really well! The pancakes were a replacement for my toast/biscuits. They were so fluffy and good! Lala was my server and she did an excellent job!! They serve breakfast and lunch! Definitely will return to try something else from their lengthy menu!

This used to be one my favorite spots for breakfast. Went there today and the food quality and taste has really gone down. The service is ok. I would rather you tell me that they don't have biscuits as oppose to bringing me overcooked. Asked for mini waffles. Didn't bring them until we finished all of our meal. And they were raw. I will no ok get be coming to franks grill. I can't even brag about how good they are anymore. Guess I go to Telwink cafe.

Food Cook to order, fresh. Parking Yes, they have a lot, but they are very busy. Sometimes you'll have to circle around. Inside: We arrived about 10:15. Am we sat ourselves. Waitress came over pretty quick. They have tables and booths Pricing. Fair. Some special priced items.

I think I'll have to scratch this off my list. The food is not as good as it used to be. Quality has gone down, down, down. The service is not that great either. There seems to be no structure as far as seating, at least on the weekends. This used to be the go to place but I'll start cooking breakfast at home. Bye Felicia

Had a great experience for breakfast. Enjoyed the customer service and the host was extremely nice and attentive to our needs. The food was delicious. The waffles where made with so much love. The chicken strips are seasoned great. Served in large portions definitely shareable. Come check them out fam.

Anybody know what happened to Frank's they've been closed for two days my favorite place to eat what now !!!!good service good food 5 stars

The breakfast is plentiful and delicious. I love being able to get hashbrowns and grits with my pork chop breakfast.

Big Beef Patty that's seasoned. Lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and mayonnaise. It came with bunch of fries and a Soda. Only $12.

The food was just okay. Nothing too spectacular here. The portion sizes were good but the food was just missing something. Maybe seasoning, maybe a secret ingredient but I didn't really feel moved by the food. The staff was friendly and the restaurant was clean but the food wasn't it. The pork chop was also a little tough. The Cajun fries was seemed to be made like onion rings but the seasoning wasn't there. I couldn't quite tell what I was eating but it didn't seem like fries . Mac & Cheese was tasty!

The food is amazing for a reasonable price. You will not be disappointed with the servings size.

No stars. This was horrible. They must have changed the chicken fried steak. It was thin and rubbery and the size of a small patty. The hash browns were like mashed potatoes. And the bread wasn't toasted

Absolutely ridiculous. First of all, who thought this was okay? Second, Bacon was stringy and undercooked. Hash browns were trash. Never would I Uber eats this again, lesson learned....oh and to top it off... phone doesn't work. It's like they left it off the hook in purpose. Typical.

This is a place to go and get a nice breakfast for a little money. My go to dish here is pork chops and waffles. The waffle is nice and crispy and I've never had a bad waffle here. I think if this place as kinda like a diner. The service is decent, and the foot traffic is definitely present so you know something in there keeps people coming back. The two stars come from the expired Minute Maid Juice, the year was 2022! It was so rancid, not good at all. Lastly the restroom was awful; my companion went in and said the health department needs to go in there so it appears they pay very little attention to the restrooms. Come on Frank; you've gotta do better! Sorry guys no picture this time I really wanted that waffle!! Next time

I'm in town visiting a friend and we decide to pop in somewhere for brunch before I go back to the airport. We decide on Franks because it's close to the airport, the reviews were decent and everyone else has an insane wait time for brunch! First sign we see taped to the window is "Waitresses needed." Uh oh.. this may not be so good. After waiting about 10 minutes we were escorted to our table by one of the waitresses working. It's a large place and some of the area was closed for seating(probably not enough staff to accommodate seating in the area. Service was a tad bit slow and not as attentive as I'm used to but we braced ourselves for it. The table next to us left a mess of straws, food and napkins on the floor. It was a little distracting having to look at the mess(that the girl bussing the tables neglected to address this) but I got that they were understaffed. Our food comes out and listen all was forgiven. My friend ordered Chicken and waffles and I ordered Catfish and grits. Sorry But not sorry we couldn't grab more pictures. -Food was piping hot, seasoned to perfection and downright delicious. -My fish was super fresh and the chicken was cooked perfectly! -My friend said her waffle was so good and the biscuit I was served was so fluffy and light! However... -my grits were bland. Cook them with a touch of cream and add some salt to those suckers! -I asked for cheese eggs and I received a mound of cold shredded cheese on top of my hot eggs. Next time just fold the cheese into the eggs while scrambling before you take em off the grill. Franks is definitely a secret spot in Houston that deserves some shine. If they manage to beef up their wait staff, serve real maple syrup instead of pancake syrup and cook the cheese inside the eggs instead of slapping it on top I say should be considered one of the top brunches in the city.

I'm never one to complain about anything however I wasn't please because I had asked for chicken fried chicken and gotten chicken fried steak instead so the left me waiting for it when my grits and eggs had gotten cold. I wasn't happy at all just know that.

The food was not very good, my omelette was over cooked. The service ok, the ambience was nothing to brag about as well .

The restaurant is larger than the one down the street (the original) and very clean. The pancakes were humongous. And good. I had to fold them over to keep them on the plate. The bacon was real good. I love bacon and know bacon. The eggs were scrambled perfectly. My server seemed to be mentally somewhere else. Not personable at all.

I loveeeeeeee franks ! Go there every morning at work for breakfast! Super friendly staff!! 5/5

Generous food portions for a decent price. One of our old favorite spots. Parking is minimal.

Local place for people in the neighbor was suggested by coworker. It was basic not fancy and filling.

The customer service sucks!!! The waiter passed up our table several time. It took them 30 minutes to acknowledge us

Consistent and fast! This place has had longevity for a good reason! Keep up the good work!

Terrible service . I was waiting for 30minutes seated for a server to approach me and take even a drink order. I had to ask a server not once but TWICE to take an order. I understand it's a Sunday but to not even come greet a table and have multiple waitresses pass by without any acknowledgement and self awareness is insane and embarrassing to the business to have such staff . On top of that I didn't receive my full order. With that being said hoping y'all can gather your staff to give better your service .

Food and service is always good. I always get the grilled pork-chop breakfast with half grit half hash browns or the fish. The ambiance is just a real joke style kitchen cafe

TRASH,TRASH,TRASH!!!!!! All the other locations are great. This one is poor service and the food ain't that great

I went to the new location and it's nice. Parking wasn't bad. The staff is friendly, but they maybe understaffed. It took a long time to order and to get the wait staff's attention because they are so busy. They only had two people serving the entire restaurant. That was a bit frustrating. As for the food, I ordered the chicken fried chicken and it was flavored just right! Delicious! The hash browns are mashed - just the way I like them. The biscuits were overcooked - but I asked for some gravy and that worked (with some tobacco sauce). I think would have preferred toast or a waffle. I only give them 3 stars because of the service. The food is good!

I'm a regular here. You can never go wrong with some old-fashioned diner food. When my best-friend is in town we always dine in. The service is very quick!

I'm giving 3 stars because of the food. This is my second time in around 4 months I have visited this location. While the food is good the Service is piss poor. The waiter all have attitudes and seems not to be able to take an order or seat you without the approval of another server. I've waited about 30 minutes before I even received a menu that I had to ask for. Then Another 10 minutes before a server acknowledged me and my kids before coming over to take my order. She said she didn't know and another server had just told her to wait on myself. Not to mention larger parties. Walked in after I arrived waited to be seated and order was taken and delivered before mines

I always stop by to get their bacon tacos. They're the best and they're huge. You'll be full until lunchtime. The staff is very friendly and professional.

Save your money and go down the street to Telwink. We waited 40 minutes for our food and never got it while everyone around us got theirs. The place wasn't even full for them to have an excuse!

It says best breakfast in Texas. It was the Best breakfast I've had in a long time. My first breakfast in Houston so if it's an indicator of food here yum!! The hash browns and sausage and waffles all so good! Service super fast and friendly!

This place is an okay breakfast place. The bacon was slightly overcooked and the hash browns were a little undercooked. The pancake was HUGE and delicious. My boyfriend got the wings and waffles combo and the wings were super good. My only concern is the fact that the waitresses are not only passing out the food but also help prepare it? It was weird considering they were only wearing one glove on one hand while the other was bare. Also they charge for ice which is kind of weird

Well if you haven't been here then your missing out everything on the menu is pretty much good and reasonable there wasn't a long line because it was storming outside which didn't bother me I normally get the catfish is pretty large and eggs with cheese and somethings a waffle on the side more than enough food for breakfast if you haven't tired it you should.

Always BOMB when I come here.. yummy food and service is great.. so glad they opened up a second location.

Service was horrible asked for warm syrup waitress brought bottle of syrup with syrup running down the side of the bottle, I never received a coffee refill, waitresses were laughing and playing on their filthy phones and serving food. It stunk of bleach and purple fabuloso. Won't be back

Love this spot soo much I dream about their breakfast the hash browns are my favorite but everything good but the liver I don't eat liver I'm here now waiting for them to open
