The French Fry House

I used the drive thru, which has a lot of potholes, so I only gave 3 stars for atmosphere, but let me tell you EVERY POTHOLE WAS WORTH IT! I got the Alfredo Fries and it was absolutely amazing. The fries were crispy enough to stand up with the deliciously creamy Alfredo sauce. The chicken was crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside. I will definitely be back. I paid $15 for a small and I couldn't finish it. The small is big.

We are visiting Houston for an extended stay, and decided to try something unique. This place stood out as a place we definitely wanted to try! It did not disappoint! We opted to share the large size Big Tex Fries and Pork Boudin Eggrolls. The portions were huge and very filling! I didn't have room to finish the last bit of egg rolls. The service was friendly and fast. We had our order in under 8 minutes. The food was hot, fresh, the egg rolls were crispy in the perfect kind of way. The BBQ brisket on the fries was delicious, and the fries were not soggy! There is only outdoor seating available, but there were shaded areas available when we were there. If you want to try something unique and out of the way from where all the restaurant hot spots are, give this place a visit. You won't be disappointed.

This place was a vibe. The music was very pop music and it really set the town for when the food came out. The workers were friendly and able to give me good choices for trying their food for the first time. The food was filling and quite delicious. I took some home. I wish this was in Dallas.

The gentleman that Took my order over the phone was very calm patient informative, and very polite. My daughter and I first time here and the food did not disappoint. You get the crispy fresh fries, not soggy but still crispy not drenched in oil then you get the protein that was fried separately was not soggy either. Then you get the abundant amount of sauces on top of everything and everything just came together well not soggy not mushy. You can taste each component that was put into that particular order. The plating was very aesthetic as well. You can see that they put their heart into making the order each step along the way of Stacking the ingredients upon each other. I can’t wait to come back and try the shrimp and étouffée. The only thing I regret was that the weather permitted us to sit and dine at their outdoor location however, because my daughter had a cold, we couldn’t enjoy it, but the sun was out a cool breeze great to take advantage of that. All in all a great cheat meal and place to share with family and friends! We got the chicken Alfredo and the Big Tex.

I live very far from here, but whenever I have a job in this area or anywhere near downtown, I make it a point to visit The French Fry House. I've actually never tried any of their French Fry options, but I ALWAYS order their delicious boudin egg rolls. I usually order the chicken boudin egg rolls, but this time, I tried the seafood boudin egg rolls, and they were delicious. They also offer a beef or pork boudin option as well. This time, I paid an extra $7 for some grilled shrimp. I was hoping to get a little bit more shrimp for the price, but other than that, the taste was on point and freshly grilled. The gentleman who took my order was friendly and helpful and gave great service with a smile. I can't wait to be back in the area so I can get my fix!

My honest review: The food was fantastic. It's very heavy, but so delicious. I got the cajun fries, side of bbq beef, and the boudin egg rolls. The bonding egg rolls are freaking delicious especially recommend using the dipping sauce.

Pretty good!!! Support your local small businesses. Especially if you like French fries lol.

I ordered the chicken boudin egg rolls and bayou fries, they are good. I oder ahead and it was ready when I arrived.

We stopped by here on our way back from a far out location. The reviews were excellent and the menu was intriguing. The place in itself looks like a small house. I was so happy to see a small drive through window. Note than it is a bit of a tight parking lot, but with some maneuvering can be navigated. Our server was so kind and pleasant and talked us through her recommendations when we asked. She also explained the size options. The small is very LARGE, and is far more than enough for a meal. I had the fettuccine alfredo fried and I still cannot believe how good they were. The fries were not soggy and yet ere incorporated into the cheese, with plenty of chicken as well. The boudin egg rolls were also amazing! The menu is extensive and really has options to cater to most flavors. A can't miss!

I stopped at The French Fry House on my way home, ordering buffalo chicken with fries. The service was exceptional. The buffalo chicken fries consisted of chopped chicken tenders drizzled with buffalo sauce, topped with shredded cheese, ranch dressing, bacon, and parsley, which was delicious. My son's order of lemon pepper fries included chicken tenders chopped and drizzled with lemon pepper sauce, accompanied by shredded cheese, queso cheese, bacon, ranch, and parsley, and he thoroughly enjoyed it. We would definitely return.

Been coming here for years and i went the other day and was so disappointed. I got the lemon pepper fries. You can tell the grease was extremely old because the fries were super dark and hard af. I tried to eat it because i spent my money. I ended up throwing it away because it was literally wasn't edible. And right after my stomach started hurting so damn bad i was just balled up in my bed for hours. Clearly yall cutting corners and it's unacceptable yall legit don't even be busy enough to be giving people food like that. All yall serve are fries why are yall not changing the grease. Or maybe they're redropping old fries instead of cooking them fresh. I won't be back anytime soon.

Food was hot and delicious. Worth $20 loads of meat and cheese. The fries were lightly seasoned. Just enough to not overwhelm the toppings. Best eaten hot. Reheat will be soggy fries for sure. Service was great. The guy was kind and patient while I decided what to order. The place was nice and clean. Went on a Monday close to closing but still great. 10/10 would come back. It's a super super large plate do next time will be going with someone to share. Neighborhood is a bit...hmm...desolate.

This used to be a staple in Houston, but unfortunately it has gone down hill. I called in my order (Alfredo fries and chicken boudin) in which I made the payment over the phone (totally expected), and the young lady asked if I wanted to tip, in which I asked if I could tip once I picked my food up (normal practice), she laughed and said yeah with cash. We picked up my food and added 2 lemonades and a Red Koolaid. The chicken in the Alfredo fries did not have any seasoning, the lemonade nor Koolaid was homemade (to be charging 3.75 per drink), and the food was cold. The young lady at the window didn't have any type of customer service although she was tipped $5 for a call in order. She didn't offer me a receipt, and she had an attitude when I asked for an additional fork. Please save yourself the money and go somewhere else!

First the service was fast and courteous. The young lady was patient while I decided what I wanted to order. The food was hot and very tasty. Good comfort food. The egg rolls are a definite must have. This is a cute little neighborhood spot with walk-up window. Outside seating available.

This place is literally located in the middle of nowhere! The parking lot is also pretty messed up so make sure to drive carefully. There's no designated parking spots, you just park wherever. There's outside seating with umbrellas for shade and they play music. The worker was friendly and the food came out relatively quickly. We ordered two small portion fries and it was about $30, at $15 each. The small portion is still generous and packed full. The fries were alright but I wouldn't come back.

Food was great. Thank you Dominique the host was very polite and helpful. The food looked great and tasting great. We will return . Thank you

Seafood boudin is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!! I love going there. Respectful staff and great service.

Great customer service, great food, fast service, what else could you ask for. Texas BBQ

Ambiance is grim, it's a muddy outdoor space with picnic tables. We were initially planning to eat here but we took everything to go. Service was fine once I got the attention of the staff thru the closed ordering window. Ordered three things, Philly Cheese Fries, Bayou Fries (kind of a take on etouffe) and some plain fries for my 6 year old. The Philly was pretty good, but my wife just ended up tossing the etouffe. She loves etouffe but this dish wasn't even tasty. The plain fries were good for my 6 year old but trying them myself I kind of realize that the fries are the same as you could get anywhere.

This used to be our favorite place to get junk food for my family for years but unfortunately for the last few months their service and food quality have gone downhill hopefully they'll make good changes soon

I can't believe that I've been here so many times and never left a review! The French Fry House is an eastside staple. Loaded fries done right. The fries are kinda perfect. A balance of firm enough to hold up to the bevy of toppings, and still able to bend and be shoved in your mouth. It actually is rocket science and they've figured it out. I've had the Big Tex, the lemon pepper, the boudin eggrolls, and everything has been amazing. What I love the most, is that the fries aren't mealy the next day. I can pop my food in the toaster oven and they are still good! Errybody can't say that.

Let me start with the positive part...the customer service was great. I felt special to hear her say that she loves my name. The sad part is the food was not at all what I expected. In my opinion whatever a restaurant main purpose is should be the best part. In this situation the fries were disappointing. They taste like frozen bag fries. If they going to use those then invest in an air fryer to cook them...they would probably have a more crisp hot taste to it. They were just warm and flimsy. I got the lemon pepper chicken fries. The lemon pepper taste was fine but the chicken was dry. You can tell the food was only warm because the shredded cheese that was sprinkled on top was like it just came out of the bag meaning not a piece of it had a melt to it. The menu is very limited. At least I tried them.

I had the lemon pepper fries. The chicken was tasty and Im still impressed and amazed at how underneath the sauce and meat the fries managed to stay crispy. Its like magic in the most amazing way. Only reason I didnt give 5 stars is because I'm positive I said no bacon (b/c I dont eat pork) and didnt realize my order was wrong until I made it to my destination. Removing bacon bits is a task worthy of -2 stars but the fries really were that good otherwise.

This place was so delicious! I got 4 small orders to go and they portion sizes are HUgE! The ladies at the counter were very nice and they had a good number of people come up during lunch. Sounds like most people call their orders ahead, which is good. Our order didn't take too long and I cannot wait to go back and try more items off the menu! We ordered; Lemon Pepper Chicken, Big Tex, Chicken Alfredo and Buffalo Chicken.

Dominique was the best experience of MG life I thank God for the French fry house amen

All I have to eggroll all of the combination are soooooo good love it. My favorite restaurant. Such a friendly french fry lady at the front counter. Go this weekend guys get you eggrolls.

The food was delicious we ordered the Philly cheese steak fries and the Boudin egg rolls. Service was fast because I called in my order, last time the wait was about 20min. Parking ir tricky but place is clean and welcoming. The music is a little loud but I'm older and I prefer silence.

Over all this place food was great. The structure and surround was a bit questioning. Mud surrounding the area. Small parking spot. The flavor and the amount of food was great. The staff was very friendly. One thing that I saw that didn't sit right with me was a staff member was bringing some type of fluid out the back part of the building and pouring it out in the woods. Not sure if this was oil or liquid from the meat being cooked. Either way I don't think that is good for the environment. I do hope they find a better solution for this. Hopefully they can find a better practice of cleaning or at least find another building that can accommodate cleaning and having proper machines to dispose of waste.

I can not believe they have such high ratings. Fries are my absolute favorite. This place did not do it justice. The fries were cold although the meat on top was warm. I did not want the green onions but I was given 1 measly pack of sour cream and a few jalapeños. I was very disappointed in this. I may be wrong and I hope I am, the fries seem frozen. The brisket was just okay. The philly cheesestake eggrolls were also surprisingly disappointing to me. I just expected a better taste. It just wasn't good. And they need to come up with a more savory sauce. Some folks may like the sweet and sour sauce. I love condiments but these two just don't go together. I love to support a small business but this place is a one and done on my list I only give it a 2 because it was reasonably price at $8 for a small portion. The portion size was good.

Food was so delicious!! I have been meaning to stop by here since I live around the corner but just never made it . Finally today was the day and it was absolutely delicious!! Will done back . Service was great and fast

Yummy fries with even better toppings! Highly recommend the Big Tex just so you can eat the brisket! Honestly, the fries were just 'ok' because they were a bit soft and thick (like steak cut), and I prefer my fries more crispy, but the toppings bumped this dish up IMO. I think the thick cut fries were probably picked to support the heavy toppings. Also, since the fries were covered by a thick layer of sauce/meat, it's understandable that they'd get a little soft. Back to the star though - the brisket. It was juicy and super flavorful, and they were very generous in adding it! There was also a good amount of sauce, so that all the fries were completely covered. I also asked for half the fries without cheese, and they were super nice about it and even separated the sections with foil. It did take a little while to get the food (they were probably frying the fries fresh), but it was worth the wait! The portions are also pretty big so you might very well have leftovers. For a 'simple' french fry dish, the presentation, taste, and service were great! Note: It's located in a slightly questionable neighborhood/kind of in the middle of nowhere, but worth the drive if you find yourself with a friend craving fries!

The food is sooooo good here! I wish they were closer to me, I'd frequent there quite often if so. The business is black owned and the customer service was stellar. Didn't wait long for food. Seating is outside so the weather could interfere with dining there.

This place was great!! The service was amazing and the people were so nice! The food was more than expected. Big portions and extremely tasty. Outside seating was fun as well. Definitely going back to try more!

Really good and fast love the Buffalo French fries!!! Service is great and love that there really quick with the food

I've been here twice now and it's definitely one of my favorite Houston food spots! They're always playing really good music while I wait for my food and the employees are very nice! I love the buffalo fries

Customer service 10/10 Taste 8.5/10 Parking was not an issue. Their food is really good. I can't wait to go back and try their other mix up of French fries. The staff is very friendly & the food came out HOT ; they definitely cook to order. Tried their oreo cheesecake egg rolls and it was amazing.

Excellent! Had the Big Tex Fries and they were delicious. A very small place but the staff was very friendly and the food was excellent!!!

I've lose track how many times I've been here + I seldomly post reviews about establishments, but The French Fry House?! Amazing!!! I have never left the place unsatisfied. The food is great!! Highly recommend for anyone. Lemon Pepper Chicken is my personal favorite.

I just received a text from Square saying that my MasterCard was charged for a meal. I'm sitting here in my backyard and thought somebody stole our CC info. Hubby then called the restaurant and told them somebody just charged our CC five minutes ago. The person who answered said they don't care. Now calling our CC company to dispute the charge. The lack of care from their staff is just plain pathetic.

After meeting Chef Charles and finding out the name of his business,I knew I was in trouble. If there's one thing that keeps me from getting skinny it is my love for french fries. It's a little bit of a drive for me but oh my goodness, it was worth it. I ordered the Philly Fries. Sure it was a little bit of a wait, but that's to be expected if you want fresh, hot food. The fries are meaty and thick enough to hold up to the generous amount of toppings. It was loaded with meat, peppers, onions, two types of cheese, and ranch dressing; delicious. I had a hard time even eating half of it. It was a lot of food. Chef Charles let me try a white chocolate macadamia nut dessert eggroll, it's not on the menu yet; but it should be. Creamy, warm fluffy, sweet bites of heaven. The owner is charming, the food is remarkable, and your French fry craving will be fulfilled. Being skinny is overrated. I highly recommend The French Fry House!

The food here is delicious. It's an outside spot. Make sure you use the restroom before you go there bc there is no public restroom. We had the buffalo fries without bacon. It was delicious

Good fries but nothing too special, not worth it to me for the price but it is still a decent place to go when in Houston

They deserve one star not even a 1 star ...first off we get there we had to wait so long just so someone could take our order ..had to wait til like 20 mins to order then it took so long for our order to come out just for the food to be cold & fries were so hard wouldn't recommend to no one ! So disappointing!

I found out about this place through yelp. I set on the one dollar sign filter and searched by places closest to me. All I can say is that, I am glad I went. Though the wait to get the food is a little long, the food we got was glorious and well worth it. The place wasn't in the best area, but growing up in the rougher parts of town, I was well aware of the fact that sometimes, the "rougher" the place, the better tasting the food was. We got the Big Tex Fries and the Philly fries. I would say that the fries itself were okay. Given the amount of food they have to churn out, I think it's perfect understandable. It seemed a soft and not as crispy-on-the-outside-and-creamy-on-the-inside as it could have been. I suggest you eat the fries as soon as you get it, and don't wait too long. I wouldn't say this is the fault of the restaurant; it's something that's inherent in the nature of fries. However, the toppings were delicious! The Big Tex Fries were FULL of flavor and they didn't go light on the meat, which I fully appreciate. The sauce was good; there was a perfect balance of salty and sweet, which led to an explosion of flavors in my mouth. I believe there was not a fry that was untouched by the toppings/sauce. That alone deserves praise, because sometimes, places just haphazardly threw on toppings onto fries. The Philly fries were also good, but it didn't get the seal of authenticity from my friend from Pennsylvania. However, lack of authenticity doesn't mean that it's not good, because it was pretty delicious. Overall, it's a pretty good place that gives you a lot of bang for your buck. (I had to force myself to finish it, because it was just a LOT of food). 4/5 stars!

My order took wayyyy too long. The lady taking the orders is also rude. I will not be back and will make sure nobody else I know comes back. I waited an hour for my food. Then when she popped her head out of the window she called me by the wrong name. Then said my food had been done when I had been sitting there forever. Worse $16 I ever spent.

I really liked this place! It was nostalgic of my upbringing. Something about the history, hood and atmosphere brings a certain flair of childhood. Anyhue, the fries were awesome. We tried the Philly fries (small) and the Big Texas (large), and lemme tell you- that's enough for two. Neither one of issues could finish our portions. As far as the outside, I truly appreciated the fact they had citronella candles on our table to keep the flies and bugs away. Also, there were deck lights & chill music going. My only negative is no alcohol. With that kinda comfort food it needs something strong and refreshing to wash that down with. But we found a daiquiri place nearby.

The best fries in Houston without a doubt! I highly recommend it to anyone! They provide great service and the food comes out on time. Don't sleep on them!

I met Chef Chops (I hope I remembered it correctly) at a tasting event today and tried about 6 different flavors of his famous fries/potatoes and I LOVED ALL OF IT!! I tried a little bit of everything that he had and it was all mixed together in my bowl so I don't know exactly what I had but just know that it all tasted very good....but that lemon pepper flavored one was EVERYTHING!!! I'll definitely go visit very soon and come back again with a full review!

The food was great and freshly made, I ordered the buffalo fries I started eating before I thought about photos. it was buffalo sauce seasoned sliced tenders with plenty of cheese, ranch dressing. It was delicious not to spicy just enough heat to give it some kick

I tried the chicken Buffalo fries the fries were a big serving however I couldn't take the mass amount of Buffalo sauce! I would definitely return to try something else in the near future, hopefully!!!

There was such a long wait but I was in Houston for the first time so I was waiting ! The chef (or owner - I can't remember what he said lol ) came out and gave out freeze pops while we waited . He also chatted with us for a second. I initially was dead stuck on getting the buffalo chicken fries but then I asked the woman taking the orders and she suggested the Alfredo fries. My cousin got the bbq and my aunt the lemon pepper . I liked theirs but I didn't like mine . A few days later I tried someone else's buffalo chicken and that moment I knew I should have went with my gut. They were so good ! They hit a spot that the Alfredo ones didn't do for me lol . Next time, I'm ordering the buffalo chicken !

OMG !!!!! The food is here is soooooooo good !!!!! I go almost everyday lol I have never been unsatisfied with my food from here. Everything is fresh and piping hot every time I order.

The food was amazing and the service was just as great! The server made ordering easy and the outdoor eating area was clean and peaceful.

Amazing French Fries joint. The entrance is not a good one. I will be back to try the beef fries. The Buffalo Chicken was dry. The bayou fries were way better. If you are in the area stop by and try them out.

The food was amazing!!!! Like, yes it's French Fries but on 1000!!! The small portion size was more than enough for four people to share. We got the Lemon Pepper and the Bayou Fries. We also got the Boudin Egg Rolls. I live in Louisiana and I'm also skeptical of trying Cajun/Creole/New Orleans food outside of South Louisiana because it's never right. But these Bayou Fries did not disappoint at all!! When I come back to Houston this will definitely be my first stop before I go see anyone and it's Black Owned so they will definitely get my coins. Something else that was cool is this Exotic POP it's expensive as hell but a portion of the proceeds support the youth.

The food is really great. The owner Chef Chop is pretty cool. Last time I went there were complimentary games out. Nice place to grab a bite and hang for a little bit. My bestfriend loves the seafood egg rolls.

Good spot for some good food. We ordered the lemon pepper fries, buffalo fries, brisket fries and the boudin egg rolls. We enjoyed everything except for the egg rolls. The fries were piping hot and filled with flavorful toppings. We ordered a small and it was way too much. A small is enough for 2 people. I can't complain about the fries or the customer service, however the egg rolls were not that good to me. My brother in law loved the brisket fries. He ordered a large and he was only able to eat half. I really wish I could have given a 4 1/2 because everything was good we just didn't like the flavor of the egg rolls.
