I've heard great things about Fran's for years, but for some reason I had just never gotten around to them (I live in Lauderdale, so it's not as easy as just running down the block. Lol). I finally took the drive to Boca this last Friday, just to finally give Fran's a try. When I try a new place, I like to sample multiple items. I went with a chicken sandwich w/ fries, a thigh and breast, livers, gizzards, cole slaw, potato salad, and macaroni salad, and corn muffins. I'll start from the bottom. The salads were solid, but nothing all too spectacular. Cole slaw was definitely unique (in a good way). It wasn't quite mayo based, but also wasn't quite vinegar based. Sort of a cross. I'm not a big fry fan, but these were perfect. Nice crispy outside, soft fluffy inside, and seasoned perfectly. Corn muffins were pretty good. Not the best ever, but a solid contender. Nice and moist, with a medium grain/texture. Thigh and breast were great. Nice amount of breeding (not too much, and not too thin) and crispy. Inside was cooked PERFECTLY! Really tense and juicy. The only minor little thing that could have made it even better is for just a smidge more salt in the seasoning. But otherwise, easily some of the best fried chicken I've ever had. Now, on to the livers and gizzards. WOW! Incredible! The breeding is a little different than the chicken, but these a;one are worth the drive from Lauderdale. The livers were cooked perfectly, and were nice and creamy inside. The gizzards were really tender. Both were some of the best I've had. Now, on to the star of the show.... that sandwich! I don't know wtf they put on that thing, but damn! Hands down, one of the best things I've ever had in my entire life. It's messy, but so so good. It's huge, too! If you go to Fran's and don't get the sandwich, then you're missing out. DEFINITELY come to Fran's. You won't regret it! read more

Juicy tasty fried chicken. Yum The guys working were great. When I'm on that side of town I stop and pick up some for my chicken fix read more

Great chicken shack in Boca Raton! Pretty basic menu, fried chicken, fries, biscuits, cole slaw. Everything was made fresh to order and it was all delicious. The Frans sauce is what I would describe as a sweet bbq or maybe a honey bbq, it is very good. Very efficient employees who seemed genuine happy to have the business. read more

I don't know what it is about this hole-in-the-wall mom-and-pop type of chicken place; the fried chicken is delicious here. I think this place is older than George Burns, but the food is delicious. I ordered a whole chicken and traveled 8 miles, and the food was still hot when I got to my location. It seems like I had the fight with everyone in my family to save me the big piece of chicken. They never listened to Chris Rock about the big piece of chicken, but I did wind up with it. I recommend this place it's worth the drive read more

I think the only bad thing I can think about Fran's is no high chairs. Better service than most other chicken joints that I've been to. Staff was very friendly with our little boy. I seriously don't know how or why I have not been to Fran's. Easily the best fried chicken I've had in the area. But to me the real show stoppers were the Mac and cheese bites and the corn nuggets. Holy smokes I thought I was going to fight with my wife about the last Mac and cheese bite. The chicken was just so crispy and perfectly seasoned. And the sides were just like I have come to expect growing up in the south. Some people were ordering large amount of chicken. Over 80 pieces of chicken! I can't wait to go back and order chicken and waffles. But I'm definitely getting the mac and cheese bites and corn nuggets again. It's also pretty clean. I don't know how many fried foods places I've been to that had dirty floors and tables but this was easily one of the top 5 cleanest ones. read more

Fran's Chicken Haven - 4 piece mix with kids 2 tender meal - American Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

I stopped in with a friend on a Monday afternoon for lunch. We both ordered the chicken and waffles and a sweet tea. I have not had fried chicken this good from a restaurant in a LONG time! The chicken was breaded perfectly, fried hard & seasoned to perfection. The waffles were delectable & the perfect combination of both crispy with a fluffy center. The waffles we're topped with powdered sugar & were so sweet they did not really need syrup but it definitely complimented the dish well. Portion size was way more than I could eat but definitely worth the price. I can't see myself driving through the area without stopping at Fran's. I can't wait to return & try other items on the menu. read more

This felt like home! The homemade sweet tea was like potion that took me to my childhood. Felt like I was drinking my granny's sun sweet tea. Delish. Food...where do I start?!?! My family and I are in town visiting Gammy and Papa. We need good food like this in Denver!!!! Made with heart, soul and love. We ordered: Sweet Tea, 4pc dark chicken, fries, chicken and waffles, the chicken and mash bowl (So freaking delicious!!) You must try the gravy!!! We ordered it as a side to dip the chicken in. Soooo yummy. The mashed red skinned potatoes. Whoa! I need this to bring as a side to Thanksgiving. Everyone working there is so kind and helpful. Brings me back to when costumer service meant something. Thank you Fran's for giving me and my family a great dining experience. read more

Fran's Chicken Haven - American Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

We were driving around Boca Raton aimlessly one afternoon when we spotted Frans. It was the old school neon sign that pulled us in and the delicious food that made us fans. Apparently this little place has been in business for over 60 years. The fried chicken and waffles were comparable to the famous Roscoes in Los Angeles!! The food was so good! The cooks were really friendly too. I would definitely recommend it if you are in the mood for some comfort food. read more

So I'm not a wing person at all but these are the only wings I actually enjoy eating. They are so JUICY and made to perfection. Get them tossed in Frans Sauce and your life will be complete. The chicken tenders are also UNREAL, they make everything in store and it's never frozen too. read more

Feeling lazy today so this order (and my first order) was called in for delivery with that being said I have no idea what this place looks like on the inside, but I heard a very good review from someone that lives in the area and that's the reason why i decided to give them a try. It is definitely not the best fried chicken I've had, but it was good, big portion, I got the dark meat 4 piece meal (2 legs, 2 thighs, roll and cole slow) and the combo comes with a side of mash and gravy or fries, I wanted the mash but they were out of mash on a Saturday at 7pm...hmmm not the best but the fries were okay. I gave them a 4 star review because the fried Oreos were delish!! Best dessert! And again... I was completely full after my dinner, I always appreciate a big full size portion of food. read more

Fran's Chicken Haven - Fried Oreos. Very good! - American Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

Amazing fried chicken. The prices did go up but it's still worth every penny. Staff are super friendly, and Tony doesn't cut corners with quality. The Franwich is easily the best item on the menu. read more

Great place to go for juicy and tender fried chicken! They have been around for at least 50 years. It's a very small and unassuming restaurant from the outside. Inside you will find the kitchen / cashier all mixed into one, with a countertop with bar stools, and 3-4 tables. Walls are decorated with writing, drawings and pictures frames which adds some unique aspects to the restaurant. They give you a whole bunch of food, so you are sure to be full. The chicken was super juicy, but could use just a bit more flavor. Overall, a good place to go when you're craving fried chicken. read more

they have an answer voice mail on Sunday at 3:50 PM!!!!!!!! They do not have on line ordering They do not have delivery Get up to speed!!!!!! We are going to KFC read more

Very disappointed. The chicken looked delicious. I couldn't wait to take my first bite. Sadly, my first bite exploded with grease all over. Also there was absolutely no flavor. I had been wanting to try Fran's for a long time. I was very disappointed. It must have been a bad day. I love a real good homemade fried chicken. I will certainly try again when in the neighborhood. read more

Listen. Fran's had the best fried chicken that I've ever tasted in a really long time! It was light and delicious. I ordered a bucket of chicken, chicken and waffles, and the chicken sandwich. The chicken sandwich?! I ate it 3 days ago and I'm still telling anyone who would listen about it. I'm honestly ashamed of myself because I was born and raised in boca and this was my first time going. I'll definitely be back! read more

Awesome fried chicken! It's been around forever. I don't know what's in their secret seasoning they use but it's delicious and always juicy too. read more

Best fried chicken in the area period. No frills and very limited menu. Not a vegetable in sight so if you are splurging on fried food, get a bucket of their wonderful chicken and bring it home and eat it with a nice salad. Or go crazy and get their sides like mashed potatoes and gravy. Can't go wrong. And every time I go the folks behind the counter are very nice. read more

12 pieces of soggy tasteless chicken for $45. Publix has better fried chicken than this place. I don't understand all the rave reviews.

Went today (6/21/24) for lunch. I phoned ahead so when I got there the order was ready and 1 of the 2 small tables was available. I got 2 chicken breasts and a small side of baked beans and my girl got the chicken sandwich which came with fries and a small container of cole slaw. Overall it was OK. The 2 breasts were large and coating on the chicken was very good. Typically, I get my chicken at Publix which I find to be as good (if it's fresh). Each breast here was $5 compared to about $3.25 at Publix. The baked beans were very good although, at $4 for a small container, not a great value. The Fran-wich sandwich was nicely sized but had so much sauce on it, you could barely taste the chicken. It's also a thigh which I wouldn't want again. The fries were excellent but the cole slaw had little flavor. To summarize, this lunch was $30 which I find high for what we got. The chicken was good but I'll stick with Publix. An 8 piece box is at Publix is $9 compared to $21 at Fran's. read more

Hot, crispy, juicy chicken what more can you ask for you ask? Hmm, a deliciously tasty waffle you say? Most definitely!!! This place is dangerously simple and delicious, a must try if you're in the area. read more

I can't believe it took me that long to find this little gem. This hole in the wall makes some delicious fried chicken and fries! I wish I could eat the whole menu! I had their two piece dark + fries the first time I came. They call it soul food for a reason because it warmed me up instantly! The chicken remained crispy despite the car ride home. It wasn't overly dry or too oily. They make the fries fresh to order and season it right in front of you. The next time I brought my brother and roommate and ordered the tub of chicken. It was A LOT of chicken but between the 3 of us we devoured it all. This time I tried some of the coleslaw too! It was mustardy and just completed the whole meal. I'll definitely be back again and next time I'll bring some more people so we can try the rest of the menu! And for the students out there make sure you bring your ID card because they give student discounts. read more

Fran's Chicken Haven - Tub of chicken and fries and coleslaw! - American Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

Amazing Boca gem- it's an absolute must try! I've never had something bad from here. The tea is straight up addicting!

This restaurant has the best fried chicken I have ever tasted. It's crunchy, not greasy or spicy. It's perfection! Obviously, they have a menu of other options to choose from but try the chicken. It's not in a location for eating inside the restaurant but I highly recommend them. We live in a country club community and like many of our friends like to eat healthy. However, if you want to cheat, and eat something fun. Go take out an order, you will not be disappointed. read more

The best fried chicken anywhere. Worth the trip to Boca. There's a reason they've been there since 1952. Not fancy. At all.

This chicken is amazing and the sides are so complimentary. We go here every year for my hubbies birthday lunch. They have been around forever so that should tell you something. The staff is super friendly too! read more

This fried chicken is the definition of true happiness. Crispy, crunchy and cooked to perfection. Try the fried Oreos too! The staff is AWESOME and the friendly guy up front named Tony is the nicest man you will ever met. He cracks me up every time i'm in there with jokes and I always leave with a smile. 10/10 this is a MUST for anyone who likes fried chicken! read more

Frans is awesome! I have been coming here for over 15 years. The consistency is there every time. This is by far the best fried chicken place around. The atmosphere is great. It's a really small spot with seats for maybe 10 or 15 people. You can take out or eat in. The staff is really friendly and always go out of their way to make sure you get exactly what you want. I always get the dinner which I believe includes 4 pieces of your choice, fries, coleslaw and bread. It's pleanty of food for even the hungriest of people. I have also had their fried mushrooms (solid) and the fried Oreos. They also now have chicken and waffles since the new owners have taken over, which i hear are great. Overall, I always have a great experience here. My friends and I love it and will always be regulars. Give it a shot, you won't be sorry. read more

Fran's Chicken Haven - American Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

Because of my damned gallbladder being nearly seventy years old, this aging Yelpite is generally compelled to shy away from fried foods, particularly the skin of fried chicken. Naturally, removing the skin from fried chicken also removes most of the seasoning, goodness and flavor of it as well, so I found Fran's fried chicken to be of particular delight. Not only is the chicken meat itself some of the best ever, so is the light, crispy skin of the chicken which they tell me is achieved by a scalding of the chicken prior to prior to frying. Yes, the chicken is somewhat greasy as is anything deep fried, but far less so than most while at the same time being far better in taste and flavor. As for Fran's itself it is all about the chicken; so don't think of anything but chicken. It's located in a rather seedy section of Boca, part of a run down strip mall and has the general ambiance of an off road truck stop. Being basically a take out place it only has about four cramped in two seat tables along with a not more than six rather after thought looking counter seats. Fran's is anything but plushy, however, the friendliness of the place, in particular the cook and counter staff, more than make up for the any lack of décor. read more
