Syd Waldman, CFSP
Frank's staff made us feel welcome from the moment we walked into the restaurant to when we returned to our car.
We were a party of four celebrating a birthday.
We started with drinks and bread service. We enjoyed the Bourbon and the honey buttered bread basket.
We ordered appetizers (fried green tomatoes) and I had a Caesar Salad with anchovies (4 fish).
Very nicely served.
Dinner came, CFS, fish and I ate short ribs. The CFS servings were huge portions! My short ribs were fall-off-the-bone prepared perfectly.
All the whole the staff served us quietly and stayed vigilant yet out of the way.
Even as we left the restaurant, the valet staff asked if they could help us get into our vehicle in a handicap marked car/spot.
A wonderful night/dining experience.
4/4 Syds.

Amazing neighborhood / family owned restaurant - weekly specials are amazing - I have not had a bad meal yet - this place is a GEM !!! Went back again and again, and this place is completely amazing tonight we had the chicken pot pie in the little gem salad and it was very good

The food was great and they accommodated my large party of 10 without a problem. The deviled eggs are a must try. We tried the chicken fried steak and buttermilk fried chicken and both were delicious and the portion size is large. More than enough for leftovers. Also if you try a dessert try the carrot cake that was some of the best I've had a restaurant.

This was my first visit and plan to return soon. Outstanding service! Very well-prepared filet mignon. What else can I say? Our Christmas Eve dinner could not have been better.

A friend has raved about Frank's as one of her all time favorite places to eat great food for the soul. I now understand why. The service was terrific. Prompt, friendly, knowledgeable and not over bearing. The raspberry Moscow mule mocktail was perfection. Deliciously muddled with fresh raspberries that iced in the cocktail exactly how I like it. Oddly this is something most bar tenders can't get right. The crab cakes were divine. Packed with mouth watering large jumbo lump crab meat and tasty flavors to accompany it. A great experience. I look forward to my next visit to Frank's!

First visit, loved it. My husband treated me to a birthday dinner. They have a wide variety of dishes but we ordered a couple of comfort classics. The buttermilk fried chicken was the best. I also shared the crispy oyster salad which is one of the best I've had. The cranberry bread pudding was unbelievable, scrumptious. My husband had the chicken pot pie. I highly recommend, come hungry.

Update: I haven't been in awhile. I went in December 2020 and the place is the same with the same quality and service. My only update is that that the bartender was not consistent with wearing his face covering over his nose and mouth. At times he was talking to customers, including us, without any covering at all.

I've been dining at Frank's for several years. I like supporting local, family-owned businesses. The bartenders know how to make great, classic drinks. It's a place you want to go when you feel like being treated like a regular and enjoying good food. It's also a great date night place. The prices are very reasonable for what you are getting.

My wife and I went for the Houston week. I had the petite filet with little potatoes and my wife had the fried chicken with mashed potatoes and green beans. I'm not sure if I actually had a filet because the meat itself was not tender and very chewy. The little potatoes were great. My wife's Fried Chicken, mashed potatoes and green beans were awesome. For dessert I had the chocolate cupcake and my wife had the lemon cheesecake both were outstanding. The waiter we had left something to be desired as he did not have much of a personality. Sean who my wife made the reservation with came by the table to make sure everything was great and knew who we were. Overall the meal was great we will be back again. I hear their chicken fried steak is awesome and I'd like to try it.

Service was great. Very friendly greeting by the host. We ate there for lunch. Sat on the "patio" we were checked on several times by the wait staff. I had the chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and green beans. Their CFS has been rated as one of the best in the city and it did not disappoint. I also had the chocolate tres leches for desert, the flavor is more chocolate cake than tres leches but if you like moist chocolate cake this is definitely the desert for you. My wife had the crab cake salad. She loved it, delicious lump crab cake,mostly crab on a salad. Can't wait to go back!

The food was great, the service was pretty good, the atmosphere was as expected. My biggest complaint which is not the restaurants fault (I am hoping that the bus boy didn't keep them) is I left my sunglasses and they didn't get turned in. The food and atmosphere was great though. Service was a little slow on drinks and taking our order.
Don Dowling
Great location even with construction around - very easy to get to from any part of town. The waitstaff and overall service is outstanding. Extremely professional. Very knowledgeable of the menu and wine list. A+. This is an excellent venue for lunch with friends or business lunch. Now for the food: such amazing attention to detail and presentation. Very fresh salads; shrimp and grits to die for; pork chop is the best in Houston; and don’t overlook the Tuesday night chicken pot pie - better than mom’s. Sorry mom.

A fun place with friendly staff and delicious food. Our server, Natalia, was awesome and very accommodating to our bday reservation for 7 on New Year’s Eve (no less). We had a 4 y.o. in tow and everyone was very welcoming to him.

I've only ordered from here via delivery app (Favor) but each time the food was fantastic! My favorite plate is the fried chicken lunch meal that comes with collard greens and gouda mac n' cheese.
Mary Jane Hancock
Wonderful menu items, food is delish! Professional staff, ample parking and interesting , comfortable decor. Easy to find, neighborhood type restaurant in a tony area. We enjoyed our evening.
Darlene Tortorici
I wish they had a 7!! It was fabulous, from ambiance, service and food. It is a definite must visit!! My husband said the chicken fried steak was the best he has ever eaten and so was my chicken and all of the sides.
Tori Alfano
The food was amazing!!! Chris Josh the owner is very personal and a hands on kind of guy. But Burke the bartender is the best bartender in Houston.....great drinks and awesome service. Thanks Frank's for a great experience 😍
William Featherston
Outstanding food and service! On a busy New Years Eve Franks demonstrated how to handle a busy evening with calm and professionalism. Pork chop is to die for just FYI!
Mike Castillo
Food was amazing. . BBQ shrimp was on point! The valentine's day special of the scallops over risotto was amazing! Loved the setting .. dark and personable. The only thing that made it a 4 star review instead of 5 was it took the server 30 minutes to split 5 checks. Food was awesome
Eddie Hoar
Since I had to work on Valentines night we celebrated last night ... Highly recommend Franks American Revival .... Double Bone Maple Glazed Pork Chop Rocked , wife had the Filet medium , it was cooked perfectly , service at the bar before and in the dining area during dinner was excellent . Well Done Franks �
Ben Backor
We had the Restaurant Week menu. Appetizers were wonderful - deviled eggs and quail. We both had the redfish which we loved and I finished with the chocolate cake and Sandra had the cheesecake. So yummy! The service is always spot on!
Mark Lapeyrouse
We love this place. Great wine excellent comfort food and excellent service and centrally located. We visit for special occasions or just to have a special evening.
They just opened up a private dining room adjacent to the restaurant. Looks great for business dinners. I plan to book it this summer for business.
Bradley R. McKillop
It's always a pleasure to go to Frank's. From the parking lot to table everything is amazing. My wife and I go to Frank's for all of our special occasions and we are NEVER disappointed.
While I have never had anything but a fantastic meal at Frank's, I highly recommend the Fried Chicken. It's mouth watering. Without a doubt this is the best restaurant in Houston.
Stephen Williams
That ribbed eye steak was on point. Thank u for the wonderful service given to me
Maegan Forsyth
Thank you Mr. & Mrs. Shine for hosting an amazing field trip for the kids at school! Sean said the food was delicious and your restaurant is amazing! He loves his post card and had attached the bandana to his back pack! We will be setting up a reservation soon for the family to come have a special dinner!
