Aaron WenzelApril 1, 2016Jerk Grouper was excellent as was the craft beer selection. Steamed oysters were pretty damn good too!! Mix some of their habanero hot sauce in the butter and that's all you need!!
Leslie MarianaFebruary 5, 2015Fantastic view at sunset, service was impeccable! Started w/the conch fritters, the Grouper sandwich, the jerk shrimp, blackened shrimp all fantastic and definitely the best Grouper in Clearwater!
Dalton SpearFebruary 28, 2015Great beach view, loud atmosphere but made up for by the live music, The Caribbean Jerk grouper sandwich is great and NOT spicy at all despite the menu saying it is. Start with grouper egg rolls
Taylor SFebruary 28, 2015I love conch fritters so this was a must stop when I saw it on the menu. Caribbean Jerk Grouper sandwich pretty good but wasn't spicy at all.
- Terika WakefieldAugust 13, 2019A beachfront bar for tourists and the locals love it too! Dine in or do a take out (to the beach), but you cannot skip the grouper sandwich, garlic crab fries, & fish spread. Beach day complete!
Susan BuchananJune 12, 2018She Crab soup is to die for Oysters on the half shell excellent as well as the bushwhacker still waiting for grouper sandwich to come which is a specialty
- Dave GAugust 12, 2014Favorite place in Clearwater! White sangria is awesome on a hot day and the buffalo chicken sandwich is delicious (and messy). She crab soup is excellent but rich and better served on a cold day.
Lizzie LuloSeptember 13, 2020EVERY time someone comes here to visit me I make them get the grouper sandwich, a rum runner and she crab soup!
- Ariana VoyerMarch 24, 2018Grouper sandwich is overrated. Enjoyed the coconut shrimp tacos with mango salsa, and a mango Hefeweizen to pair.
Ben GaspariniMay 12, 2013Definitely catch the sunset at Frenchy's beach location. Make sure to get there extra early though because everyone else wants to see it too.
Kimberly DuncanMarch 4, 2017Food is good BUT if you're looking for the Frenchy's that the locals flock to - this isn't it. This is the touristy Frenchy's that fills up quickly. South Beach Frenchy's is much more authentic 👌🏼
Brandon PescrilleJuly 27, 2015OMG! Dat she soup is da bomb! The creamy blend of love and crab makes anyone understand that life is amazing. Going, going, gone! #thatswhatshesaid
Jason NewbergAugust 9, 2014Cajun scallops are awesome. They have excellent steamed oysters, well-priced drinks and the perfect view of the gulf.
I’ve been searching for snow monkeys along the beach all day without much luck - decided to take a break and eat/drink at my favoritest spot on the planet - monkey fever can wait
Michael AllenSeptember 3, 2013Have a drink and enjoy the beach. Great food too! But, this is one of those places you dream about looking out over the beach while you hold a nice cold refreshment in your hand.
Stephanie DeDeckerMay 13, 2017Clearwater Beach staple! Right on the water with great drink specials and food. Get the grouper sandwich you won't be disappointed!
Rock Hard MagazineAugust 4, 2012MY FAVORITE!!! Frenchy's Rockaway Grill, Clearwater Beach, FL - Hangin' on the deck on the beach, nice breeze, big margaritta and pan fried grouper, DEF ordering key lime pie for dessert!!! :)~- I absolutely love this place, if you come to Tampa Bay Area - you HAVE TO COME HERE!!! Day or night, food or drink - you won’t be disappointed
Zulkeira R. StefchakAugust 13, 2013This is the best Frenchy's of all in Clearwater (there's about 3). Calamari is fresh and not greasy. The Cajun Grouper sandwich was really good! Cheap beers.
Jamie MonahanAugust 24, 2014Great food & mixed drinks. Across the street from the beach and a good bar scene. I'd highly recommend!
William HMay 24, 2014Great food, great service, great setting. For such a commercial looking outfit, I was presently surprised. Sit on the front deck and enjoy the view!
Fernando SandovalSeptember 21, 2014It's a little "sunnier" than palm pavilion but still great view, food and service.
Have the Grouper sandwich. It is one of the best in Florida. Seriously have the grouper sandwich.
The best part of my experience tonight- the view.😥- that I waited 45 minutes for. Bartenders are inexperienced, all new waiters seemed disinterested, and no fault to the restaurant, crying children
Professor Twain 🚬🚬⚾⚾July 4, 2015Best place to take visitors to Clearwater Beach. Make sure you get a view of the water.
One of the best rum runners on the beach! Plus, the sweet potato fries are to die for--thanks to the sweet butter dip you get with them. Yum.
Great views and you can’t go wrong with the 4 Kings combo. I prefer grilled but other styles are good too!
Cyndee HaydonJuly 6, 2014Directly on the beach with live entertainment - Featured in the Food Network mag for Grouper sandwich http://frenchysonline.com/frenchys-featured-in-food-network-magazine/
J 🏁January 30, 2012You don't even have to put on clothes :) (swimsuits welcome). Grouper nuggets and white sangria (cinnamon tops it off) are both great. Great atmosphere and beautiful sunsets.
Consta KApril 20, 2017Jerk four kings is OMG awesome. Then rocktopus is very generous. Hands down best seafood joint in 50 miles.
MichaelMarch 13, 2013Had the Mahi Mahi sandwich....awesome. Girls in bikinis, white sand beach, blue clear water, attentive wait staff...great drink prices.....where else would u wanna be?
Jose SanchezAugust 5, 2015Good food great atmosphere but I can't see how your ranked #1 in Clearwater for seafood yet you don't have crab legs . Had to settle for coconut shrimp but was extremely disappointed with no crab legs
Brandon PJune 18, 2011My favorite place to have lunch while at the beach. Ask for a seat outside for the amazing view and hit up the awesome bartenders while you are waiting to be seated.
Steve HillFebruary 13, 2013Had a Grouper Santorini with a side of fries and fruit - fantastic. Let alone the S'mores desert!!!
Tyler McCordAugust 8, 2013Live music, beach views, quick bar staff, this place has it all. Don't expect to walk in and sit down though. No reservations, first come first serve.
Grouper sandwich. Get it just about any way you like it. Add 2oz by making it a super grouper.
Try the Grouper Sandwich - Cajun Grouper Sandwich on an onion bun with tartar sauce, lettuce and tomato. Perfection! A must-have if you're visiting Clearwater Beach.
City of ClearwaterNovember 12, 2012Frenchy's is all about a good time with friends, overlooking the beautiful Clearwater beach and the famous Grouper Sandwich -- a must-eat in Clearwater!
Best food and drinks on North Clearwater Beach hands down.
Amy ElizabethOctober 1, 2012Amazing restaurant on the beach with delicious food at great prices! Tropical chicken salad sangria and crock pot s'mores...I'm in heaven
Arash BaghaeiDecember 18, 2017Just great! Crab cakes were good, so were the cocktails. Really fresh seafood at decent price.
Corinn PloesslJanuary 26, 2014Cobia was on special this January. A friend and I got the fish tacos and they were DELICIOUS! Definitely recommending them!
Jaimie SpeckMay 10, 2018Everything! Literally can’t go wrong w anything on the menu! Try all their locations.
Dr Michael LangeOctober 19, 2014best fresh grouper sandwich in the world!! great atmosphere, just go in your suit and flip flops.- Tara JenningsOctober 2, 2014A great stop to make when boating. Delicious and not too expensive. Worth making the stop.
David VanekAugust 10, 2012Best she crab soup. Will drive for miles to get some. Always a good time with music and great beachside views
Lissa B.January 18, 2014Awesome place. Great rum runners. If you sit outside make sure the umbrellas are up so the birds leave you alone.
Ashtyn AnthonyFebruary 21, 2015Coconut shrimp with a tummy orange dipping sauce and She Crab Soup is the way to go!
