We had dinner at Frenchy's Original Cafe. It is a small place off the main beach front drag. There are only a few tables inside so go early. I had the cajun grouper sandwich which was good, my husband had the fried shrimp, they were amazing. Very light breading and the taste was amazing. The group next to us had... more

I did not think the food was worth what they... more

I used to work here 15 years ago in college and still love this place. Anytime I travel to Clearwater now, I eat at Frenchy's as often as I can. I was there a few weeks ago and had lunch at Frenchy's 3 days in a row and even took some food home in a cooler on the airplane. Be... more

This is a wonderful place for the freshest seafood off the boat at a reasonable cost. The place is very small with about 7 booths, 4 outdoor tables, and bar seating, so plan on sitting at the bar if it is busy. I love fish and this grouper sandwich was a true treat! Fish seasonings (got it grilled) were perfect.... more

Try the Grouper Rueben sandwich.... and if this is your first time... and they're busy... there's a clipboard on the right side of the bar immediately across from the entrance, which you need to sign in on to get you name on the waitlist for a table - this seems to be a local secret... had us waiting for awhile... more

Prices are very reasonable, portions are more than adequate, great ambiance and service, with a menu that ranges from simple too interesting. Tried the Conch Ceviche Salad, which was a first for me. The conch was surprsingly tender prepared in this manner. I also had a grilled seafood platter, which was exceptional. With drinks, Apps, Salads, and entrees, my Wife... more

I ate there on 2/5/2009. This is very small spot kinda hidden resturant. Our waitress was amazing, she did a great job and was very quick with all requests and we went at 730 which was a busy time. They do have very limited seating though so i would reccomend going a little early. I had the original Grouper sandwich... more

While the location is great, the food certainly was not worth the price. When we left I kept asking myself $50 for that? Not that $50 is much but a fish fry really isn't that difficult to do. The fish was greasy and the sides were not impressive. I was expecting more considering the ads of best fish and such.... more

we have tried Frenchy's twice now (Saltwater and Rockaway) and had the same unfortunate experience: staff seemed indifferent, portions are small and the last time the manager tossed the menus on the table. the salad came before the appetizer and a minute later our entrees were plopped down in front of us. when i commented, our server offered to put... more
