I don't know what people are expecting from a diner, but this location is great. The prices and menu are cheaper than the Franks near 290 and I wonder if they are owned by the same people despite the common name. Supposedly the guys that owned Frank's also owned their nearby competitor Telwink Grill at one point. Not only are they cheaper but the portions are bigger at this Franks than the 290 one. Their catfish is also has a cornmeal coating rather than batter so you definitely get a different taste. The flesh is mild enough to make me think it is swai. Getting half grits and half hash browns are like full portions at other diners. Weekday lunches have no crowd so that will be the times I will stop in from now on. My waitress was nice while serving me in between cleaning up the place. read more

Frank's Grill - Fish and eggs - American Near Me - Houston, Texas

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. read more

Frank's Grill - Fish & 2Eggs Biscuits (Grits) - American Near Me - Houston, Texas

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! read more

Frank's Grill - Chicken and waffles - American Near Me - Houston, Texas

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. read more

Frank's Grill - Chicken royal- sub bun for lettuce - American Near Me - Houston, Texas

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. read more

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 read more

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 read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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.

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 read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 read more

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! read more

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 read more

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. read more

Frank's Grill - Pancake - American Near Me - Houston, Texas

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 read more

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. read more

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.

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 . read more
