Frilly's Seafood Bayou Kitchen

What a FIND! The food was outstanding - flavor packed & great price. The service was excellent thanks to, Emma . She was super sweet & personable. Also, the man playing the music was a whole one man show, absolutely killed it with the harmonica. Haven’t had an experience like this in a long time! Thank you

Our first time back to Frillys in a couple years and we thought maybe there was a new owner (there is not) because the food was just not as good as we remember. The celery in the crabcakes was huge and uncooked. The gumbo was fairly unseasoned (we had to add a lot of tabasco, salt and pepper). The boudin was not cooked evenly at all. We spent $86 and left unsatisfied.

Great place! We just left happy and satisfied. You can count on delicious food with friendly service. We were here 3 years (traveling) and made it a point to come back. Crispy calamari, shrimp, French fries, and catfish for hubby. Spicy ettuoffee for me. Family friendly. Assortment of beer and wine. Didn't order off the lunch menu which was very reasonable.

I needed to get lunch quick before getting back to work and I stopped here cause, why not? As soon as you walkin there's a certain smell... I'm guessing it's their grease trap... I dunno, but I really didn't have time to go somewhere where else so I stayed. Now the host sat me quick and the server, Cindy, came by soon after. I ordered some tenders cause I figured they would come out fast. When I got up to go wash my hands (PSA: wash your hands boys and girls!), I noticed a band setting up, I'm guessing they have live music on Fridays...? So my tenders came out and they were crispy on the smaller size, like a kids meal. Now the fries... were just a bunch of left over broken pieces, not any whole fries which was a disappointment. And the smell was ever present, honestly I wont be back until they get rid of that nasty, gross smell in the air. The best part was the staff, their friendly demeanor and welcoming way. Thank you Cindy!

What a great gem! It was my first time visiting Denton and Frilly's was close to my hotel. Walked in and the atmosphere was welcoming. Our server was Alysa and she was so sweet and attentive. We were able to meet Alonzo the owner and he was very friendly and even gave us the story of how he got started. I can't wait until he brings Frilly's to Houston. The food was fresh and hot. I definitely recommend the fondue and the bread pudding.

Today we had late lunch at Frilly’s @3p normally we go for dinner @5p. In the past you would walk up to the hostess and she would seat you and the waiter would take your order. Today we had to order at the front register and pay for our meal (we added 15% tip @ $9) then went and sat at a table. We ordered a dozen raw oysters (use to be $14.99 now $21.99) catfish plate from the lunch menu ($8.99) frog legs (use to be $11.99 now $15.99) and side order of fried okra (only got half a bowl). My husband ordered a beer and I ordered a glass of water. The young lady that took our order only served the beer never brought my glass of water until we stopped her as she was walking by our table and asked her for water. There was no utensils or napkins at the table so we had to get up and get it. There was only 2 couples in the restaurant when we got there so they were not busy. When we got our food it was not hot it was like it was sitting in the kitchen awhile before they brought it to us. I don’t think fried food is as good if it’s not hot. Today we learned a lesson, DO NOT TIP if you have to order and pay at the window and seat yourself (cafeteria style). We left very disappointed with the service & food and have decided we will not be back. So sad because it used to be good and the service used to be excellent.
