Placed an online order and I have to say the process was quick. Ordered some crab cakes, a popcorn shrimp kids meal and a crawfish etouffee combo. To start off the staff was very friendly and packed everything nicely for me, with all the necessary sauces. The crab cakes were delicious, crispy on the outside and very well seasoned. The crawfish etouffee combo was delicious. So good my husband forgot to share. The shrimp kids meal was a nice size and was so good We'll definitely return next time I'm in the area read more

This review is on Frilly's lunch special. I stopped by Frilly's one Friday on my way back from the casino with a couple of friends. Their family is from Louisiana and they wanted Cajun food so we decided to try Frilly's since they had good yelp reviews. We arrived around 2:40 and decided to try the lunch special. I got the lunch crawfish combo. The price of $12.99 was very affordable. We ordered and were quickly seated. The service overall was good. We got our own water and got our food pretty quickly. The ambiance is casual sports family feel. I was excited with the quantity of food I got for the price. I got a large quantity of fried crawfish, crawfish étouffée, and dirty rice. The fried crawfish was tasty. The dirty rice was ok. I've definitely had better dirty rice with more flavor and more of a gravy with it. I also thought the étouffée was tasty but added a little hot sauce. Overall I liked Frilly's and would definitely return for the lunch special. read more

We have been visiting this place for years. At one point we would bust bi weekly. Unfortunately the taste of the food has taken a turn for the worse. It tastes completely different. I noticed management has also changed and kitchen staff. This breakers my heart. The bread pudding is not consistent in the sweetness area read more

This place always has excellent food and service. The crawfish étouffée is the best around and the key lime pie is amazing.

Came here as a native creole after a recent trip to New Orleans craving the same taste and really am leaning more towards a 3 star but will show grace. The catfish was really salty to me which was a first but the jalapeño poppers were great! Not much seafood filling and I saw a lot of people say they're too spicy but I like spice! The margarita was disappointing as well as it was just on the rocks mix you can purchase from the store put over ice and for the price it was an over reach. The Abita beer they gave me to make up for it did the job! If a happy hour was offered would be back but with the current economy going to save my coins for elsewhere. read more

Frilly's Seafood Bayou Kitchen - Jalapeño Poppers and Strawberry Margarita - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Denton, Texas

You better believe that it an authentic rendition of the unique mélange of Cajun and Creole seafood restaurant that excels at delivering a special dining experience; starting with the wonderful selection of main dishes inspired by the soul of Bourbon Street, in neighboring New Orleans, Louisiana. I usually go accompanied by my sister and her husband, who loves the oysters on the half shell, washed down with Abita Amber Ale, a special pairing that has served me well over the thirty-something years that we have been enthusiastic customers. I have patronized and supported the venture ever since it opened and it's a great place to celebrate every so often. Please remember to tip your server and dare to compliment the entire staff, who are integral to your overall dining experience. Cheers, Mark F. read more

Awesome atmosphere! Amazing fried fish! Great service! And don't forget to get the fried pickles for an appetizer!

Great service and good food! Oysters were fresh and delicious. Worth a stop if you're caught in Denton.

Fried foods were great. The boiled crawfish was good. Clam chowder was good. The sautéed shrimp and shrimp étouffée was terrible. The shrimp was rubbery and seemed farm raised. The flavor wasn't there either. I'm being generous with four stars because I plan to go back one more time and try all fried seafood. I'd stay away from the grilled items. read more

I really enjoy the food here at FRILLY'S. The only real complaint I've had is the several times I've been here they seem to kind of rush you to get you out. At first it feels attentive but then it kind of seems like they want you to get out as fast as humanly possible instead of enjoying the food and atmosphere. read more

Food is yummy. Small, quaint local restaurant with good service e and great Cajun food.

Although I do still recommend Frilly's Denton, today was a bit disappointing. I always order to go and my usual favorite is the side order of red beans and rice. It typically includes a reasonable amount of sliced sausages. Today, not even exaggerating, I had literally two small slices of sausage. Not cool. The cornbread as usual was on point. First time trying the fried zucchini. Edible but I would not order again. It was more like breaded broiled zucchini because it was not at all crispy. In the past, I have also had the boiled shrimp which was a generous and tasty dish. Bit hey Frilly's do better on the sausage in the ted beans and rice on a to go order. read more

The blackened catfish with crawfish étouffée was fantastic! Add the dirty rice!! The fried shrimp is also very good, great breading. read more

Live music at a Cajun restaurant, I have never heard such a thing. It was great! The food is wonderful! The service is better! We had the Cajun combo which my man almost lick his plate he enjoyed it so much. I had the seafood platter and it was really good. For apps we had fried pickles and zucchini, which I loved the zucchini! Perfectly battered, not over dinner like most places. We will totally be back! read more

I thought this place was great! Would come back. Fried shrimp were perfect and a lighter breading that usual which I really like. Dirty rice was da bomb. Nothing fancy just the way I like it read more

Frilly's Seafood Bayou Kitchen - Fried shrimp medium size, dirty rice - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Denton, Texas

The food was great! There were 6 of us and every one of us loved our meal. Each selection was Reasonably priced with large portions. Very casual place inside. read more

We live in Denton county and have eaten at Frilly's a couple of times a year. We know what they serve and the food is decent. Tonight, I feel like they ripped us off. They up charged us for a simple change in a meal. I asked for fried oysters with the Seafood Platter of two choices. I got 3 oysters that cost me $4 more added to the regular price. Gouging customers over a small change is never a great idea. Our server was fantastic and the food was good... the economy already sucks, but up charging and gouging someone for 3 oysters? Nope. I won't go back. :( read more

Perhaps ironically named Frilly's, this place doesn't need all the pageantry of competitors like Razzoo's to establish itself as a formidable contender in the Cajun food arena. Just an unpretentious, rustic environment and a simple menu will do. Here the food speaks for itself. At lunch time you grab your own menu, order and pay at the counter, then seat yourself. We started with appetizers of Swamp fries and calamari. The Swamp fries were delicious and satisfying, practically a meal on their own. Ranch is served on the side but I didn't think they needed it. The calamari was equally as tasty with a golden, extra crispy coating that wasn't greasy despite being fried. My Cajun catfish lunch combo was substantial enough to not feel like a lunch portion. The rich etouffee was chock full of crawfish and so scrumptious. I always prefer extra heat, so I added some hot sauce to the white rice using one of sauces from their collection. My other family members, who had po boys and pasta, concurred that the food was excellent. In the end we were all members of the clean plate club! The only drawback to this stellar meal was the drink situation. The server warned us that their margaritas were wine based and contained no tequila, but I figured they might still be good. I was quickly disabused of this notion after the first sip when was hit with an odd, unpleasant taste. Disinfectant came to mind. My husband tried to order a Shiner but they had run out. In fact they were out of almost all of the draft beers on the menu. Evidently drinks are not their focus. Nevertheless, my family and I are looking forward to returning for more fantastic Cajun food. Frilly's for the win! read more

I have lived in Denton since 2016. This is the first time I have been to Frilly's. I am a bit mad at myself. Most excellent food. Had the crab bisque and the calamari to start. Main course, the evening special Salmon Alexander. So very good read more

I ordered a shrimp po boy sandwich and it was massive. Like way too much bread! It was a little toasty around the edges and I only ate that part of the bread. I usually think of toasty French bread when I think po boy sandwich. Sadly, my French fries were cold! Others dining with us ordered the fried catfish with French fries and the crawfish etoufee. I think everyone ate their meal but no one really raved about it. Our server was very nice and friendly. Even the manager was making table visits checking to see how everything was. 5 stars for the friendly and attentive service! It just couldn't make up for the so-so food. read more

The quality of food is only surpassed by the reasonable pricing. We enjoyed the blackened catfish, the crab cakes and the chicken tenders. My son loved the gator tail. I can highly recommend this restaurant have recommended to friends. read more

I love the atmosphere here. Everyone is always so welcoming, constantly checking in on the tables, and well mannered. The service is not ever slow either, even when busy. The crab cakes are to die for. I order them every single time. Everything on the menu does seem very fresh, and not overpriced! read more

Had great Cajun food with excellent service and a great environment. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for good cajun food in Denton.

Frilly's is our go-to for good seafood in Denton. The fried crawfish tails are fried perfectly....just enough to remain big, tender and juicy with a perfect crunchy crust. Can't get enuff of 'em! Oh, and the owners and staff are always friendly, efficient and accommodating. They also know how to graciously accept the compliments that we give each visit ;-) and we enjoy the casual Cajun atmosphere. read more

food was amazing. I would recommend going there. Service was good food taste great and looked amazing. read more

I want to start off by saying our food was delicious. But the experience left a lot to be desired. We needed a table for 5. We were seated at a table for 4 and an extra chair was brought to us. This was perfect in theory not in practice. Then our sever was possibly overwhelmed or new or both. He was very nice but after being seated for 15 minutes he had still not taken our drink order. I had the ask the host to ask the server to please see us. About 5 minutes later he arrived to take our drink order. Once our food was served he continuously missed requests for refills on drinks and extra sauces (which were requested the moment the order was placed). It was not a great experience. read more

We were in town for a competition and love Cajun food. We almost let the overall review score deter us from trying it. I'm glad I took the time to read through the reviews and try out FRILLY'S. We had the boudin, red beans and rice, gumbo,Cajun combo, and the blackened mahi with Milan sauce. It was all amazing! Abby and the entire staff were extra attentive and super friendly offering suggestions and just asking about our day and how we found the place. It was so good out of our two nights here I am pretty sure we will be headed back there tomorrow!! They have outdoor seating for when the weather is up to it also- read more

Absolutely a great Louisiana restaurant especially with the live music. This place is a must for a family and friends gathering spot!!!

I came in on Wednesday and highly recommend Frillys. Our server Grace was attentive and helpful she recommended the chicken alfredo it was delicious!! Will be back again!! read more

Our first time here. Everything was amazing. Grace was our waitress, she was top notch. Will definitely be back.

Great food, fantastic service, cool ambiance! We went on a Friday afternoon, my wife and I. We had some boiled crawfish as an appetizer. Good stuff! We both had the fried catfish and shrimp. Another winner. Be sure and ask for Delaney! She's got it on wrap! read more

This was a spur of the moment "let's find a close by seafood place to eat at" kinda visit. I located Frilly's through Google and yelp searches and saw they had pretty good reviews so we gave them a try. When we walked in we were immediately greeted and seated. They had a gentleman playing live music who was doing an absolutely wonderful job. He was putting his own charismatic twist on well known songs, wasn't so loud you couldn't talk to people at your own table, honestly the best kinda live music. We ordered some hishpuppies, fried pickles, and gator bites to start. Great appetizers to get the meal going. Everything was cooked perfectly. I ordered the Blackened salmon with the st. Andrew's sauce. My lord, it was mouth watering. The salmon was cooked beautifully, the sauce perfectly complemented the blacked seasoning. I really can't describe just how delicious this dish was. I can't even remember what everyone else ordered because I was so focused on my dish. I can confirm everyone enjoyed their meals though! My dad confirmed he is now a fan for life and will definitely be back! L be making a point to visit everytime I'm in Texas now. read more

The service is very friendly, but the food is pretty mediocre. We got the seafood gumbo, which was oddly sour. It lacked the toasty flavor and thick texture that a roux would have provided. The red beans and rice tasted sugary, as did the cornbread (which had more of a cake-like texture from using a cornmeal/flour mix instead of all cornmeal). read more

Consistent Cajun goodness. Great service. Feels more like a spot in Baton Rouge than Denton. What more can you want?

Have only gotten takeout from here, so can't say too much about ambience, but it's like the only place in town that serves a gator po-boy and their hush puppies are great. Super fast, don't think I've ever had to wait when I get there to pick it up. Gator is great and they let you put the ingredients on the po-boy yourself. read more

The service was good and the staff was really friendly but the food in the other hand was alright I got the po boy and it wasn't what I expected the catfish was crispy but no flavor and the tarter sauce carried the sandwhich, The pecan pie wasn't for me and the presentation that they had wasn't what I got and it was crazy because I actually saw the presentation and it looks like this, like a burnt pizza read more

So I went to Frilly's for the first time. I have to admit, over all the food that I ordered was good. But the shrimp po-boy was a little underwhelming, and the bread that they use for their po-boy isn't the French Bread that we normally use, being from Louisiana. Would I recommend Friilly's Seafood Kitchen, yes. I believe you'll still enjoy the food! read more
