    • Q:

      Is the outdoor patio area dog-friendly?

      A:

      For the longest time, all Frenchy's locations outside were not dog friendly! I would suggest calling them to confirm.

      Came here for a late lunch early dinner after a friend recommended them. We were immediately seated outside with a beautiful ocean view. They even have some tables in the sand. Talk about the perfect atmosphere for lunch.
      Our server was absolutely amazing she kept up with us even though there were 7 of us and we ordered a lot of food and drinks and kept adding on to our order. We couldn't have asked for a better server. I wish I would have caught her name so she could get some recognition.

      Food and drinks all came out extremely fast.
      We ordered in pretty sure almost every appetizer on the menu so I won't go over all of them but I will note the ones that stood out the most and I unfortunately didn't get pictures of everything as everyone was starving and ready to eat.

      Octopus: the best I've ever had super tender and flavorful with a perfect grilled taste. I can't say enough good about it. I could have ate just that. We have a non seafood person in our group and he even liked it.

      Seafood ceviche was perfect. Had a balance of shrimp, scallops and grouper with some lime and it's a large portion

      Garlic crab fries were divine lots of crab pairs with a garlic cream sauce

      Egg rolls were just ok nothing super special about them

      Onion straws had a light breading and it's a large portion. Highly recommend them for a non seafood app

      Cajun grouper sandwich I didn't care for the roll however the fish itself was amazing light tender and flaky would order it by itself

      Ribs were better than some bbq restaurants. Tender and falling off the bone and a huge portion

      That's just a small overview of everything we ordered but everything was absolutely amazing and well worth the stop in. I wish this place was closer to home cause I would be here all the time.

      Food was cold; grouper was very fishy. Couldn't tell server cause she wasn't around.
      Of course drinks are great as is the atmosphere.
      Been there done that and not going back.

      Cheap drinks. Slightly overcooked but huge grilled grouper sandwich. Hot dog was said to be good, for all the non seafood eaters.

      Super chill vibe sitting on the sand. Check in with the QR code and choose where you want to sit. Our server Nick was great, and the sunset was unbelievable from these seats. Unfortunately, everyone rushes to the front to take pics as it's happening so it blocks the views.

      If I'm in the area again, would prob come again for the reasonably priced drinks while I'm at the beach.

      My boyfriend and I recently had an amazing date day at Frenchy's, and I highly recommend trying this out for a fun and memorable experience. One of the highlights is the Frenchy's Passport challenge, where you visit all 4 Frenchy's locations and order their signature drink to earn a free tee shirt. It was such a blast completing this challenge in one day!

      We started our adventure by walking from each location, which allowed us to soak in the beachy atmosphere and enjoy some time on the beach. The whole day was filled with excitement and laughter, making it a truly unforgettable experience.

      Frenchy's has a fantastic beachy vibe that's perfect for both locals and visitors. The food is delicious, and I especially love their drinks--they're perfect for a beach day or a casual hangout. The staff at Frenchy's were incredibly friendly and helpful, adding to the overall positive experience.

      Attached is a picture of the tee shirt we received after completing our passports--an excellent souvenir to remember such a fun-filled day. Whether you're looking for great food, refreshing drinks, or a unique adventure like the Frenchy's Passport challenge, Frenchy's is definitely worth a visit!

      What can I say about Frenchy's that hasn't already been said. I love this place and so does everyone else. The seafood if off the hook! No pun intended.

      I had the Cali tacos they were amazing as always.
      Started with the seafood gumbo and also very flavorful and full of seafood.

      A must when in Clearwater Beach! Sits right on the beach. Arrive 90 minutes before sunset and get your name in the queue for outside. The wait can be an hour, so take a walk to the water, take some pics, and grab a seat in the chairs, rocks or sand. Once seated, you will be in a position to see a stunning sunset as you get your drinks and food. The food is typical pub fair but the atmosphere is worth it. Good service.

      I hadn't been here in forever, & I came here with out of town friends.

      This is the usual go to for bringing friends, family from out of town. This area is known for the Grouper and this what they serve here. I, for one, don't love it so! I do love fish and seafood and you will find it here along with some non seafood lover dishes here.

      This place can best be enjoyed on a week day evening waiting for the sunset. If not, be prepared to wait forever.

      There is a parking lot right outside this restaurant. Download Park Mobile, and life is much easier.

      The food was ok. I was told that grouper is a staple in Florida. I'm not sure that I agree with the taste and the hype. Grouper is a fish that needs seasoning. I ordered the grouper egg rolls. Ummm they were ok. I couldn't tell if it was fish or chicken because the grouper just didn't stand out to me. They tasted no different than the southwest egg rolls from chilis. I also ordered three kings grilled. The fish was so bland even after adding salt and black pepper. I had to send it back and opt to just eat the grilled shrimp, veggies and mashed potatoes. My friend had the pasta with chicken. The Alfredo sauce itself was very runny. The chicken was very dry. However, the taste and the seasoning was spot on. They had live music and it made the day relaxing. We sat on the inside but the deck outside was rocking. I wouldn't mind giving this place another try but I won't be ordering grouper anymore. I'd just go for the experience if I'm visiting Clearwater Beach again.

      We went on a Wednesday afternoon for lunch and we had to wait for an outside table. Yes, it was chilly in January, yet the view was nice.

      A friend comes here every year and comments that the quality of the food has changed. The tuna nachos had to be sent back. The nacho chips were stale and tuna didn't taste fresh. Manager came out and thanked us since they didn't realize the chips had gone bad. Tuna was fresh from the day prior, but we still refused to eat more, the color was not right either.

      The coconut rice from the Three Ming platter was delicious. Actual coconut flakes really made the rice tasty. The grouper and shrimp were cooked fine. Octopus was a bit dry.

      Maybe a bad day, but will try again.

      Location, location, location... located directly on the white sand beach this is a great place to dine and watch the sunset like we did. Service was great but we deduct a star for one dinner coming late. The place was very busy so it happens.

      The Three Kings was very good with grouper, shrimp and scallops. Frenchy's garlic crab fries were also good and weee finished by the table before the waiter could get back with plates.

      It's a beach bar with live music at night but also family friendly during the day. A classic along the strip.
