Frank's Grill

They were supposed to be closing at 3 o'clock is what it says on the website and I go there at 12:45 and they are closed

Full disclosure: I've never actually been to Frank's, I've only ordered it through Uber Eats. Breakfast food is my favorite category of food, and Frank's Grill serves the best in town. It's an old-fashioned, greasy spoon diner kinda place. An outright ridiculous amount of food, dirt-cheap, served hot and delicious. Thick-cut bacon dripping in grease, pancakes bigger than the box they come in, and not a vegetable around for miles, unless you count the pound of hash browns. It does seem like they're pretty hit-or-miss sometimes -- I've had a handful of bad experiences -- but when they hit, dear God they hit hard. It's kind of part of the place's charm. They're everything I want out of a place like this.

This was a first stop for lunch during a trip to Houston. Definitely experienced that southern hospitality as soon as we walked in the door. This place is not much to look at but the food is excellent and the portion sizes are huge for the prices. It was pretty packed around lunch time for the service did not waiver. The waitress got to us right away and the food came out pretty quickly.They have a very unique way of serving their sandwiches, cut into squares and on toothpicks (see photo). I thought it was super cute! Waffles fries are excellent. The hashbrowns were a little bland but nothing a little hot sauce and ketchup can't fix.

Great bang for the buck here! Came for breakfast with a big group and everyone's food looked amazing. I got the chorizo breakfast taco which was gigantic and pretty cheap. Their salsa that can with it elevated the taco. I took photos of my friend's Frank Special as well! Service was a little slow but it was popping in there (and I was hungry asf), so can't really complain! Our server was attentive with coffee and water refills.

I first noticed this place when passing by on my way to take the Sam Houston boat tour of the ship channel and made a note to return another time for breakfast. While the promised "Best breakfast in Texas" on the sign may be a little over the top, Frank's did not disappoint.We arrived at around 9:30 am, and the place was bustling with all different kinds of people from whole families with small children to men who had recently gotten off of work at the port. Despite the number of people, we were still immediately seated and our waitress got us started off with menus and coffees. Upon taking a look at the food on offer, you see that the breakfast menu includes both traditional breakfast items as well as more unique options like wings and eggs, baby beef liver and onions, and pork chops and waffles.We went with the special (2 bacon, 2 sausage, 2 eggs, grits or hashbrowns, and 1 pancake) as well as a grilled chicken taco with a side of fried okra. When we received our order, it quickly became obvious that this place offers some of the best value for money in town. Our plates were humongous. The taco was stuffed so full that we had to eat it with a fork and knife with the pancake barely fitting on the plate. The overall flavor of the food was nothing spectacular, but then at a place like this you don't expect it to be. It tasted like a diner breakfast is supposed to. And at prices of $10 for the special and $6 for the taco (honestly more like a burrito), there were no complaints from our side.I live in the East End not too far from Frank's, so I will definitely be adopting this as a breakfast spot, especially when I want a ton of food for cheap.

I have been to 4 Frank's Grill across Houston area. Today's visit to the location on Clinton Dr was by far the worst of them. We went early enough that it wasn't too crowded or too busy. We went in and seated ourselves first at a booth. The table was cleared but wasn't clean. It was sticky and needed the crumbs wiped off it along with the water glass rings on the table. We then got up and moved to a table. The only difference was this table wasn't sticky. I like greasy spoon diners. But the literal word greasy was everywhere. I usually love the hash browns but these were mushy burnt and terrible My eggs were cooked over easy but the outside of the eggs were not white/ whiteish no they were dark brown. Like they were cooked on a dirty grill. The bacon was slightly warm to cool and only edible cuz it's Wright bacon. The pancake was black on one side, the bottom side and the side served up was a light light brown: almost under cooked. Needless to say we left 90% of the meal on the plate, paid and left. This particular location still uses the old menus. It looks like the old pricing still pretty cheap. But honestly I would pay more to eat in a cleaner, nicer establishment such as the one on hwy 6. That restaurant is a class act. Magnum and Pasadena locations are not too shabby either older but at least cleaner. It's all in the management It is my last time there and Frank's needs to get their collective a#s together and get Clinton location back in line!Oh yes, while at the register a lady walked in and complained to cashier about not answering phone. I heard the phone just ringing away while at the table. The cashier told the lady they were too busy to answer the phone. Believe when I say this, the whole time there I never saw more than 1 customer at the cashier. Too busy, It's just lazy. It's shows in everything!!

Ordered "Spinach and Mushrooms Omelette" through UberEats. Omelette arrived full of chopped onions, tomatoes, and cheese in addition to the spinach and onions. The chocolate chip pancakes were great, but don't make up for inedible breakfast omelette.

Excellent service and awesome friendly staff ...food never disappoints...would recommend for breakfast Forsure

This place is very overrated, went to the Westheimer location on Wednesday 10-11/23. I will leave out the details, just say I will not return ever!!!!

Love the food and the people's there but the only thing bad is the old lady her name is Cheryl that is the only thing
