Houston’s 16 Most Iconic Restaurants | Eater Houston

"This beloved fried chicken franchise started off small as a po’ boy shop in the Third Ward. Though po’ boys remain on the menu, Frenchy’s fried chicken is now the famous — and Beyonce-approved — focal point of the restaurant. Succulent, seasoned chicken joins Southern sides like collard greens, dirty rice, and gumbo, plus decadent slices of cakes. Don’t forget the strawberry soda." - Marcy de Luna

10 Essential Restaurants in Third Ward | Eater Houston

"Beyoncé has long boasted her love of Frenchy’s, a longtime Houston institution and one of the original fried chicken drive-thrus in the city. Her most recent celebration of its fried chicken wings and thighs, depicted in “Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé,” illustrated Houstonians’ love for the fried chicken spot. Founded in 1969 by New Orleans native Percy Creuzot, the local chain serves up crispy seasoned chicken and Creole-style sides, like boudin balls, collard greens, and gumbo, along with po-boys, fried fish and sweet potato pie." - Kayla Stewart

Houston Is the Country’s Ultimate Fried Chicken Destination - Eater Houston

"That legacy can be seen today in stalwarts like Frenchy’s, a Black-owned franchise that opened in 1969 when Percy “Frenchy’s” Creuzot introduced New Orleans-style Creole food to Houston in a quick-service format. Now with 11 locations and a new outpost opening this spring, the Southern-style fast-food chain has become an undeniable city staple, known for attracting long lines that stretch into the streets and chicken that’s earned a seal of approval from lifelong customers as well as celebrities, including Houston’s own Beyoncé." - Brittany Britto Garley

This location does NOT have a drive thru. Food was terrible, service was great. My fried fish was very undercooked. The skin was mostly soft and crispy in only one area. The light color tipped me off, but I bit into it anyway and it just wasn’t done. I was hoping this would be as good as the original Scott St location, but it wasn’t. I messaged Frenchy’s on instagram, they are working to correct my order, but seeing other reviews similar to mine here, I wouldn’t chance it.

I’ve been coming to this location for years. While it’s not the Original Frenchy’s in 3rd Ward, it was the next best thing — was being the key word here. Something has definitely changed, and not for the better. The chicken breading recipe is clearly different now, and unfortunately, it’s not good. The flavor, the texture — it’s just not what it used to be. It’s really disappointing to see a place I used to love take such a step back. Sadly, you’ve lost a loyal customer today.

I had the 3 campus meal mixed with dirty rice, a roll, jalapeno, and peach cobbler. Initially, I had the chicken leg and did not quite get the appeal, then I had the chicken thigh and the light came on, I was sucking on my fingers trying to get all of the flavor. Overall, it was a very enjoyable meal as you can see in the before and after pictures.

Last year, after getting cold chicken and fries I said I wouldn’t come back but I gave in because I was really craving the chicken wings. MISTAKE! Now, I understand that the workers want to prepare food ahead of time to relieve some stress of high demand times but they had tons of chicken prepared and a lot of cold fries with minimal customers… I asked for hot fries and, of course, they just double dipped the ones they already had cooked. However, that wasn’t the worst part… I was not expecting the chicken to be sooo bad. It actually tasted stale which tells me it’s been sitting under that light way too long. I hope I don’t get sick from even attempting to eat it. The service didn’t seem horrible but to serve people all that cold food without a care or thought definitely made me reconsider the service.

SCAM, ordered 3 pieces, I received 3 HALF pieces... CANT CHEW, no seasoning, go other other location, uber eats always delivers full fillets, seriously.... drove 18 minutes to get some fresh air and I get jipped for picking up in person, store is incredibly hot low AC if any And fries, did they count ~15 pieces?

This location is the worst Ive ever visited..first it took 15 mins to get my order taken because no one was up front. There was an employee eating in the dining room completely ignoring me. The fact an 8 pc dark Chicken only is down right robbery. Disgraceful service not being able to get pieces ive asked for having waited 10 mins for chicken. I never asked for fresh chicken. No urgency...no friendliness at all..i would not reccommend this location to anyone...EVER..

Arrived and placed order at 1:45pm waited until 2:10 to get order. The sad part, there were 4 others ahead of us who said they had been waiting 20 mins. The front line was slow 🐌 because the chicken was ready! Get home and the leg is premature right along with the thigh. SMH the wait was for what exactly??? Wont be back!

I love Frenchy's! I used to live in the area but have since moved. When I lived there I didn't know about Frenchy's and never realized there was this delicious fried chicken just steps away from my doorstep! I came on a Friday night and there was a long line. When I looked upfront, I realized why. There were only two people working there. But they were holding it down!! They were working hard to get everyone's order. I got the two piece dark. It took a little while, but it was worth it! Even though I ordered two, they gave me three - maybe because they were closing soon. The chicken was so hot and crispy and juicy!! And omg the hot-sauce! It was really good on the chicken. Also it comes with a jalapeño which I drizzled over the chicken. I also had greens and a roll to top it off. Delicious! Can't wait to go back :)

The chicken was cooked well and taste delicious. The young lady had a pleasant personality, and was very helpful with the menu. The place was very friendly and clean. I would recommend trying the king meal and the cornbread.

Visiting from out of town and It's a yes for me! The food was hot and seasoned. I was skeptical about getting the greens, but they were actually pretty good. The chicken wings were the star though. Be aware that this location is in the hood and connected to a gas station/store. No complaints from me though we left before it got dark. The service was fine. They do have tables where you can eat, but it is not a dine in experience. Better to take to go.

If you're from Houston then you know about Frenchy's Chicken. For the locations that are still open in Houston, they are the best tasting creole chicken around. Is the locations on Scott still open? Well, if they are not this location gives the same great taste, except for the Frenchy fries. I believe they stopped serving them about 2 years ago but they still fry them fresh for you and sprinkled with the seasoned salt. I love they seasoned fries. Their wings will piss you off because they don't have any meat on them. I usually get the chicken strips because they fry them when ordered. They brought back the gumbo but Ive yet to order a cup. They also fry their fish fresh. I like it All fresh and hot so I usually get either the fish or chicken strips. Their red beans and rice is better than Popeyes in my opinion, you will always have a piece of sausage in your cup. You know what pairs well with their dinners? Fanta soda!!! What y'all know about that Fanta soda??? They also serve deserts, I only get the lemon cake fresh from the freezer. Overall they deserve 5 stars because they kept the original recipe that we all know and love.

DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY AT THIS LOCATION!!! I cannot express this enough. The service was slow and terrible. About five different customers received their order before I did, even though I placed my order before them. Finally when I received my order, it was short four pieces of chicken and a dessert. The chicken was very dry, tough, and overcooked. I should have known that just by the looks of this location it was not going to be good at all. I called the phone number that was on my receipt and online for this location so I could get a refund for my missing items, but no one was reachable because the call went straight to an operator saying that the phone number was not in service. I don't ever write reviews, but because of this terrible experience, I needed to download this app and warn others.

Happy 52 anniversary, Frenchy's Chicken!!! I was here to take the $2 special, today July 3 only, (clever play in shape of a dollar sign). Thanks to a pair of hungry eyes, I captured the news from Chron.com and verified it on ABC13 website. I love Frenchy's Chicken, it doesn't matter if it was on sale or not. Ever since I discovered it in Sharpstown years ago, I have been watching for the opportunity to stop by. It is kind of out of my way during weekly grocery shopping trips. However, I made it. Location is pretty convenient from the toll road to this restaurant. Just off of Beltway feeder road and Richmond, connected to a gas station shared with Burger King. It's quite alright to order takeout. Closing the dining room is probably the right thing to do with so many transients in the area. I just wish it was a little bit better lit up. The food was not as great as I remembered from other restaurants. What a bummer. I ordered a 4-piece feast without drink. They gave me one of each breast, wing, thing and leg. Breast piece was huge compared to the wing. The fries and chicken pieces were a little unevenly salted and the thigh was a little burnt. Collard greens were not salty. It was flavorful.

Cashier was polite and attentive, paying careful attention to my order. The food arrived quickly and was taken home to enjoy. The chicken was excellent. Easily some of the finest around. Unfortunately the surrounding area is filled with trash and drug addicts. Didn't feel comfortable with all of the vagrants loitering around. Disregard the irrelevant one star reviews for this place.

I'm a bit surprised at just how far the apple fell from the tree with this location. I'm a huge fan of the original "awning" location in Third Ward, which is commemorated as part of a large mural on the wall of this location. This one isn't quite up to par with that one. Tucked into the corner of a gas station, and located on the wrong end to be visible from the highway, you either need to know it's there or happen by the sign in order to make a stop here for a meal. It was no surprise that the place was empty while I was there. The server was nice enough, but the price (with tax) on the register didn't make sense based on the price on the menu board, and I had to make her go back and fix it before charging me. The ice tea machine was malfunctioning, which she didn't bother saying anything about until after I filled my drink, took a sip, and nearly spat it out. Then I get a late apology that there's something wrong with the mix. Maybe a sign would help? The chicken strips came out hot and fresh, with a nice breaded seasoning, though the chicken inside was surprisingly dry. I needed every bit of the two barbecue sauces they gave to make it work. I would have needed a third sauce had I not given up and left. The red beans and rice was more soupy liquid than anything else, and spilled everywhere when I pulled off the lid to the container. I was not pleased, and now I have to go dry clean my work pants because of the mess. On the whole, I'm not impressed. They need to retool what they're doing here before I'll consider returning.

TLDR: July 3 is Frenchy's anniversary... but at this location, it's more of a birthday deathbed. The chicken was lukewarm, under seasoned (per the Frenchy's standard), and a sad representation of what I know their chicken to be. In addition, the rolls felt like they were chilled in the cooler. The reviews are spot on. This is a definite skip. Next! Visit: Weekend (dinner) July 3rd Anniversary of Frenchy's Order: 4 piece Feast- 4.1/10 Borderline cold chicken that didn't have the normal flavor packed seasoning I know their other locations have. The rolls were just as bad... the only thing hot I received was the red beans and rice which, tbh, were adequate. On what was supposed to be a day of celebration, this experience was a somber let down. Having talked up Frenchy's chicken to my gf, we happened by this location and I convinced her to give it a go... bad move brah, bad move. It was consistently busy, but I can't understand why considering that the quality was so poor. You'd think with constant turnover the chicken would be somewhat fresh. Instead it felt like we were served the leftovers from a rained out picnic. Oh well, all I can say is that the Yelp reviews are spot on... do yourself a favor and get some fried chicken elsewhere or choose another meal entirely, cuz this just ain't it.

Service was terrible , started with getting there a little early. So was waiting outside since 10:45 opens at 11 :00: ? While waiting another customer showed up at 11:00 doors still locked made us wait till 11: 10 to enter Took my order I tried ordering 2 wings 2 drumstick. Wait time on wings ? Ordered rolls at last minute said they didn't have any rolls just biscuits . After they change my order from rolls to biscuits I decided I wanted red beans and rice so add an order of red beans and rice and though i was originally first they tried to make me wait till they got 2 of customers orders ready just to serve me red beans and rice in a to go , so that I could leave with my food still hot ? Refused to give my money back. But eventually did . This whole process took about the time they could of served me my red beans we all were delayed. Very unprofessional, rude . Very disappointed Red Beans

Not quite what it used to be, but still pretty good. Prefer Frenchy's over some other places. The service at this location is a little slow.

Nothing fancy here. Just perfectly seasoned, hot chicken and friendly cashier. Masks are required and no indoor dining. To-go only. Ask about specials.

Food was pretty good and wait was around 15 minutes so not bad at all. Definitely fresh and not over seasoned. Staff was friendly but very busy. I tried placing an order over the phone but no one answered. Tables are put up to accommodate social distancing so most customers wait in their car or stand around awkwardly inside. Would definitely go again.

Really good fried chicken and sides , I honestly rather have them than Popeyes, Kfc , Churches etc . They are a bit pricey but it's worth the extra.

I've known this place since I was born. This is my hood, raised here. I know the guy who works in the Frenchy's, he owns the establishment . When I was little whenever I went there he would always give me a free large koolaid. I have so much love and appreciation for him and the workers to help make the food. Always nice and welcoming and always has a smile on the face. You can tell the food is made with love like your grandma friend the chicken herself. I've seen some bad reviews talking bad about this place. Just because the location looks bad doesn't mean it is. I've e also seen people say they shorted them on their chicken but, the people who work there are not from America and don't speak perfect English . Yet, they work really hard to serve our people in the community. This location isn't in the best place but is always welcoming and safe. They make you feel like you're apart of their family.Always have love for them and their food is the best fried chicken I've ever had. They always make it with love and leave you craving more.

I wont judge a franchise by a single location, so all im gonna talk about is the food. The good : The chicken is big on flavor, it's very flavorful. Though it's more salty than I prefer, it tastes like straight up down home cooking. The chicken pieces are huge. Maybe the biggest pieces I've gotten at any chain chicken joint ever. The chicken portion sizes will not leave you disappointed. Only had the mashed potatoes with the debris gravy (awesome gravy title) but it was good. The not so good : My only disparage is that the breading on the chicken, though be it flavorful..., is just too salty. If the salt was reduced by 50%, it would rock. I'll be back, to try the catfish and the rest of the sides

For 9.99, you would think i wouldn't get wings that is fitting for a 2-year old. The location on Dairy Ashford was better than this location, but unfortunately it's closed. There is also absolutely NO SEASONING on the fries!

I haven't been to this location in a long time and after today.. I'll continue. The best tasting thing on my plate was the peppers. The collards (the reason I decided to come here) were bland asf.. I had to add my own seasoning and some vinegar... the chicken looked like it was seasoned good, but nah! It wasn't. I ate most tho cuz i was starved lol... the jambalaya I didn't even bother to eat since everything else was a disappointment. Unfortunately, the employees are not familiar with soul food and it shows... never again.

I will never visit this place again. The area is dangerous, the food was burnt, I asked for honey and they gave me Honey Mustard Salad Dressing for my biscuits. I highly suggest you frequent other locations, which is more desirable. Someone really needs to spot check this place. Dr. Stevens

Stop all that non sense. The owner just gave a ton of food to a family in need and told them come back tomorrow if hungry. Praise that man! Well done! An example of how pleople should live their lives.

This franchise may satisfy your fried chicken craving of the the traditional Frenchy's 3rd ward location .... But that's where the buck stops! They definitely don't serve Fenchy's traditional tasty fries, and the greens beyond a disappointment.... The Wednesday chicken specials, kept me a regular patron for awhile.... Sadly, I walked in today and was surprised that there were NO advertised daily specials.... At least Popeyes honors coupons & specials.... NOT worth risking my safety for good food any longer :-(

So anyone who knows me knows I love Frenchy's Richmond Ave fried chicken. I love this location and normally the staff are very kind and helpful. However, today the cook was incredibly rude when I had a small issue with my food. The issue was not even with the cook but with the individual who was preparing my meal. Giving PAYING customers excellent service should be at the forefront of any business. I was not disrespectful or anything to deserve a comment like "too bad" when I asked for seasoning on the fries. Needless to say I will not frequent this location again.

This is the perfect spot for some tasty creole chicken. The service is good. The season fries are really great. Great spot for lunch as well

Went there spent over 30 dollars ended up leaving a bag of things i bought from the connecting store while waiting for my food. Left and got to my hotel up the way and realized I left my bag. So i leave my hotel go back to the frenchy's to get my bag. First the girl act like it was no bag. Then told me we had to pay her for it. I was about to punch her in her face but she said he said he'll pay me. This bitch really took my boyfriend's 5 bucks for my bag of belongings. Really this how your employees operate. Not just give a customer their stuff you extort them for it good job.
