Frank's Grill

Sorry Frankie boi....Can't let this Chicken fried Hockey puck & Penitentiary gravy slide so easily. Hands down worst I've ever had . But the service was excellent, very attentive. Just a little difficult to place my order with the cooks blasting there tejano music , workers with there kids screaming in the corner tables.

I had ordered the 11 dollar breakfast plate eggs over hard they were runny, sausage was raw cooked, hash browns were smoochy I asked for crispy had to wave down some lady that had an attitude because i mentioned that I had asked for them that way she says I’m not the cook I said I know that why I’m irritating what I had said. She seemed to take it the wrong way I don’t know maybe the atmosphere to much for her who knows I came to try this place that everyone seems to recommend but to my enlightenment it’s not to my standards. I’ll stick to the one in Pasadena where the people are better served and acknowledged with curiosity.

Service was great, food was excellent, the atmosphere has that classic dinner feel to it.. but the reason I didn't give this place 5 stars. Right when you walk in the bathroom are in the front & and it smells like an old bathroom..but only in the front. The building is old but I hate that smell.

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.

Food was basic diner food. I got chicken and waffles - the server suggested it. Needed more seasoning but still ok. Fries were delicious. There is a smell but its an old spot so it was expected because someone else had already posted about it. Service was amazing! Quick breakfast bite. I'd go back.
