Last visit Hot chicken sandwich Awful. Never again. Disgrace to french Canadian food. Chef needs to be fired. read more

A friend of mine asked me to join him for lunch at Frenchie's Bar & Grill, because he felt like eating a Montreal smoked meat sandwich with a small poutine. I had the Montreal smoked meat poutine. The food was delicious, it wasn't as good as Schwartz's smoked meat,but it was close enough considering that we are in Florida and that smoked meat doesn't exist here! Isabelle our server was super nice, she was efficient and professional. She came more than a few times to ask us if everything was fine. The ambiance is comfortable. Why four stars, it's simply overpriced! My bill was 27.00$ and my friend's 33.00$, that's 45.00$ Canadian for a smoked meat sandwich, a small poutine and a coke. It's frankly exaggerated! Best of luck next summer when the snowbirds will be back home. I'm American, the currency rates don't affect me, but for Canadians, that's another story. Now for my French Canadian friends! Je suis allé dîner avec un ami Québécois qui voulait manger un sandwich à la viande fumée et une poutine, donc nous sommes aller chez Frenchie's. La nourriture était excellente, mais le problème est le prix, tout est disproportionné. Je me souviens y avoir été à plusieurs reprises dans le passé avec des amis et il y avait foule, ce midi il y avait environ 25 personnes. Notre serveuse Isabelle était très sympathique, efficace et professionnelle. À plusieurs reprises elle est venue nous revoir pour s'informer si tout était à notre goût. Bref, c'est dispendieux et en plus de l'échange monétaire, c'est loin d'être attirant pour les snowbirds. Bonne chance l'été prochain quand tout ce beau monde seront retournés à la maison. Il serait grand temps de penser à réviser les prix pour l'hiver 2024. read more

See all

Very good food, best place for party with friend and family, la poutine the best , price is good,

Ok where do I start , I came here on a whim after driving by this place a few times this week . I saw the grand opening sign and pulled up . Then I checked the reviews and saw that no one had reviewed this place in a while . I take my reviews seriously and hope you enjoy this one . The chef / owner - James is extremely friendly. He's Italian and Canadian , and cares deeply about his passion for cooking . He and I spoke for a while and shared our passion for food together. The waitress was super sweet as well , Sandra . She sat me at the bar and immediately asked when I ordered , "why plain ? I don't think it's going to be good .."she said , So I thought to be authentic to this review I should order it just the way it comes . And I did , "A Montreal sub the way it comes please ! " Sandra turned away with a told you so look in her eyes .... A few minutes later ....James came out with this beautiful sandwich.....I grabbed it and immediately noticed that the bread was toasted and it's crust was on point . Getting into it the flavors of the peppers and tomatoes with the soft bed of lettuce blended perfectly with the steak and pepperoni . What made me levitate off my chair was this vinegar like tomato sauce.. I died Lord , this was truly an amazing meal . I went freaking nuts . This was the best sub I ever ate . Perfectly toasted - amazing flavors. I really love it and can't wait to make time for coming here again . The ambiance is a nice open space with window views on both sides . The bar is very comfortable as well with no bad smells from the well like some bars . Clean throughout . Nice music too. Look forward to hearing the live bands one night . This place is truly a Gem , I would definitely not let the Canadian influences miss your chance to experience the Montreal Sub , the people are very sweet just give them a shot . I spoke after with James the owner , he stated that you must love what you do , and I can actually taste that in his sandwich. You should try it too ! Update *** spoke with James he will be closing the restaurant down ending in August for about a month or 2 , to make room for a larger kitchen as he's going to be open year round ! So please if you missed , be patient. It's worth the wait . read more

Frenchie's Bar & Grill - Amazing ! Best sandwich ever - French Near Me - Hallandale Beach, Florida

...it has been repeatedly said Canadians are very polite and friendly. People are encouraged to visit Canada with promises of a hospitable experience. Something must happen when they cross the border because many of the French Canadians in Broward County seem unfriendly and blatantly rude when we cross paths. Frenchie's epitomizes this behavior to a T. Apparently locals are not welcome as they acted like they didn't understand English and made no attempt to try. South Florida is multilingual and diverse, this is the first business that didn't want my patronage. I realize this is a seasonal restaurant catering to the French speaking Canadians living 6 months out of the year in the RV Parks east of it, but it is not a private club. Maybe they should consider making it one read more

I think that this place is delicious. I had the seafood pasta. Wish it had more seafood for the price but a good plate to share. The fries are real good- the salad as well read more

Well my dad decided to take me out to this restaurant to get some breakfast and was told that it was all basically French Canadian. I thought hmmm that's interesting. We went on a Friday morning at around 9:40 am and the place had a good amount of people being served. We immediately got a table and menus and that was it. The lady who gave us the menu didn't say one word to use. I think it was maybe because she could tell we didn't speak French. We waited 15 minutes and everyone around us was getting served. So we just decided and leave and nothing was said. Probably won't come back. read more

Stopped in to pick up some food from Frenchie's last night. It's a canadian bar and grill, and the staff speaks mainly french. The service was decent, and they were playing Canadian football on the TV's, all while playing some really cheezy music in the background. BUT the food was GREAT. I ordered a Frenchie's burger with fries and it was spectacular. The place wasn't appealing enough to make me stay and dine in, but I'm glad they can cook well. I wouldn't recommend hanging out here, but definitely order some goodies to go. read more

Hard to explain why I like this place so much. Grandpa always loved their oatmeal, and I was never interested in going because it seemed a little dumpy to me. Then my mom started going and convinced me to try it with her. Ever since, there's not a Florida visit where we don't stop here at least once. Always for breakfast. Always get oatmeal. The prices are ridiculous, and the food is always good. You get oatmeal, eggs, and pancakes or crepes or toast and coffee all for like 6 bucks. (This is just fuzzy memory right now... don't think there's a menu online. But trust me, it's a good deal.) Almost everyone inside, servers and patrons, are speaking French. We don't, but have never felt bad about it. Servers quickly switch to English as soon as we say "Hi" instead of "Bonjour". Really just a super charming place. read more

I used to go quite often to this place but since they changed their chef last fall, I am cooling down! Pizza used to be good but now, crust is hard and topping light. It's not a fancy place and it looks more like a sport bar. At 6:30, there is a musician that starts to entertain for the evening. read more

My wife and I came from the golf course and decided to eat out. We came across this place by accident. It is what people say. French Canadian. The food was great !!!! We both had a Filet Mignon, which was out of this world. And what a price !!!! Under $30 !!!! We were told it is a CHAIRMANS RESERVE cut. We definitely come back !!! read more

I usted like this place but seems like they change a cook... food is not like before . We always go with my housband on my days off we like to have the mimosas and breakfast. We went this past Thursday mimosa wasn't with champagne any more the gave us a cheap prosecco and cheap OJ. Omelette was good but my Florentin eggs Benedict were unacceptable , I will said hard boiled eggs, I did return my eggs Benedict and they sent me runny break eggs with some yellow sauce on top that doe sent even taste like hollandese . I told the server please change it for an omelette that taste good but essential what I ordered . I'm sorry that happens to us , maybe was a busy day as we been told but We ll never come back again! read more

Frenchie's Bar & Grill - French Near Me - Hallandale Beach, Florida

We started to go to the Frenchie of federal highway 10 years ago. The food was never great but we enjoyed watching the type of people going there. Funny.... Now the two partners owners ( brothers in law) have separate and one open Frenchie in Hallandale, we have been going a few time to that place and it has not improve, the chef should go to Danny to learn to make a fluffy omelette, there Bloody Mary, the one that was serve to us, was nothing more than tomato juice with vodka, so there again some big improvement is needed. Really people don't go there for good food but more a meeting place for French tacky no tipper Canadian. read more

Has been a great experience. The place had a make over. wow what a bar, TV and music and dancing if you feel like it. The food is excellent. Bravo! Marie Hélène read more

Owner was nice but, the place sucks. I came here for breakfast with my parents and ordered the biscuits and gravy. First off, not biscuits- literally the pillsbury grands with the layers like what you can pick up at any grocery store. When I tried to cut into it and the layers began to separate I was pretty upset. I lived in the south for over a year and spent summers in Louisiana - this is not at all what biscuits and gravy should be. So I just told the waitress this isn't what I was expecting, I don't think I'll eat it - I'll just have my eggs and beans with hashbrowns. Oh, and the eggs plus hashbrowns were incredibly late, too because the cook forgot or the waitress forgot to place the order. She blamed the cook and told me he just forgot to make it, mind you, the place wasn't even that crowded... plenty of empty tables and we got to pick where we wanted to sit. Anyway, the waitress immediately copped a major attitude over the fact I didn't like the food. It's not her fault, I just want a dry and crumbly yummy biscuit that will soak up some gravy...and not a faux biscuit I can pick up at Publix. She gets an attitude with me, which I ignore. And goes off telling me how she doesn't know about biscuits because she's Canadian and not American... I tell her it's really not a big deal that I'll just eat the eggs and I'll be okay, but I won't be eating the biscuits because it's just not what I wanted. She immediately returns to my table after taking the plate to the kitchen and is holding one of those Pillsbury layers wrapped up in saran wrap and tells me that it's a biscuit and she doesn't know what my problem is...yea, this is right after she finished telling me she isn't American and doesn't know jack about biscuits. I'm pretty confused at this point and so are my parents, I mean why is she insisting and arguing after I already said I'd be okay and just didn't want to eat the food given to me? So I try to explain what the difference is and tell her she can open it up and I can Google a picture of a real biscuit if she's that dedicated to understanding the science of biscuits... she whatever's me and rolls her eyes. I sit there, at this point, confused and a little annoyed. She then says whatever to everything else I try saying and keeps rolling her eyes at me. Then asks if she can get me something else so I tell her "sure, some toast would be nice...wheat toast, please." She leaves. Toast takes way too long to get to the table, I'm almost done with my food at this point and kind of don't want the toast but I'll wait for it. When she finally arrives with it she brings me rye toast and I tell her, "I'm sorry, I ordered wheat." She argues with me, again. Tells me I didn't specify what toast and that I just said "toast." [this is probably the worst service I've ever had because I've never experienced a waitress who blatantly argues like this, especially when she's wrong. even if I was wrong and hadn't said what I wanted it was her responsibility to clarify and if she made the mistake she should have just said 'my mistake, I'll get you the wheat.'] Well, when she argues me my mother steps in and verifies that I did, in fact, request wheat, because she heard it, too and my dad nods in agreement. The waitress' reply? "whatever" with another eye-roll. At this point, I'm pretty fed up with her attitude so I ask to speak to the manager. Turns out the owner is there so he comes over and asks what's going on, I try to explain the entire story but he runs off after just telling him about the eye-rolls and repeated whatever and immediately goes to speak to her. He was nice but could have waited for me to finish explaining the entire ordeal and how incredibly weird and just uncalled for her behavior has been. The food isn't great and the service is worse. I can get by with mediocre food if the service makes up for it but a waitress who makes no sense, argues, eye-rolls and repeats "whatever" to a customer shouldn't be working there. If you go eat at this place, you've been warned and make sure you don't get Sabrina, that was her name. Hopefully the owner reads the entire story on this thing since he didn't give me a chance to fully explain what was going on. People like that don't need to be working with customers. read more

Worst customer service ever. We waited 15 minutes sitting at a table waiting for at least the waiter to come out and ask for our drinks for starters and nothing. All the waiters just walked by and looked at us without saying a word while we sat there waiting patiently. We walked out with empty stomachs. Never coming back to this place again..... read more

Had dinner and drinks with a large group on Sunday nite. We had poutine, hot chicken, smoked meat, spagetti, pizza, steak, salad, and drinks. Great food, nice owner, good staff, great fun place to hang out. Very large TV in french and a good place to meet new friends. read more

Went for breakfast as kitchen was about to close for an event later that evening. Waitress was obviously ready to close out. Offered coffee but no spoon/stirrers or water. Meal was average but inexpensive. Will return to see if food and atmosphere is more sociable during dinner. read more
