What a great gem! It was my first time visiting Denton and Frilly's was close to my hotel. Walked in and the atmosphere was welcoming. Our server was Alysa and she was so sweet and attentive. We were able to meet Alonzo the owner and he was very friendly and even gave us the story of how he got started. I can't wait until he brings Frilly's to Houston. The food was fresh and hot. I definitely recommend the fondue and the bread pudding.
Great ambient feel, but...Crawfish was not fully cooked. Rice had no flavor, the shrimp wrapped in bacon was burnt.I will say this though, the sauces they use are not bad, and the soups were actually decent.But when the hostess is in the bathroom not letting customers use the sink b/c she's checking herself out. That's a wrap. Potential for so much more.
Great place! We just left happy and satisfied. You can count on delicious food with friendly service. We were here 3 years (traveling) and made it a point to come back. Crispy calamari, shrimp, French fries, and catfish for hubby. Spicy ettuoffee for me. Family friendly. Assortment of beer and wine. Didn't order off the lunch menu which was very reasonable.
Our first time back to Frillys in a couple years and we thought maybe there was a new owner (there is not) because the food was just not as good as we remember. The celery in the crabcakes was huge and uncooked. The gumbo was fairly unseasoned (we had to add a lot of tabasco, salt and pepper). The boudin was not cooked evenly at all. We spent $86 and left unsatisfied.
Today we had late lunch at Frilly’s @3p normally we go for dinner @5p. In the past you would walk up to the hostess and she would seat you and the waiter would take your order. Today we had to order at the front register and pay for our meal (we added 15% tip @ $9) then went and sat at a table. We ordered a dozen raw oysters (use to be $14.99 now $21.99) catfish plate from the lunch menu ($8.99) frog legs (use to be $11.99 now $15.99) and side order of fried okra (only got half a bowl). My husband ordered a beer and I ordered a glass of water. The young lady that took our order only served the beer never brought my glass of water until we stopped her as she was walking by our table and asked her for water. There was no utensils or napkins at the table so we had to get up and get it. There was only 2 couples in the restaurant when we got there so they were not busy. When we got our food it was not hot it was like it was sitting in the kitchen awhile before they brought it to us. I don’t think fried food is as good if it’s not hot. Today we learned a lesson, DO NOT TIP if you have to order and pay at the window and seat yourself (cafeteria style). We left very disappointed with the service & food and have decided we will not be back. So sad because it used to be good and the service used to be excellent.
The alligator eggs are really tasty. I had the shrimp brochettes and they are really good too. The jambalaya was also scrumptious. And the bread pudding was the best close to a great meal.
really great food all the way around! Nice atmosphere, good prices. Service was a tad slow but considering everywhere is struggling to keep staff we are patient and understand this when going out to eat.
Great food, Great Service!! This seafood restaurant is a gem in Denton that we almost missed out on!! This will be on out eating out list every time we visit from now on!!! ??❤
a very fun place to eat, and staff that really seem to enjoy working there. all the food items we had are excellent!
Excellent Cajun food. Frog legs were top-notch. Blackened Grouper and Salmon were delicious. Large crawfish selection. Desserts were phenomenal. First time there and we’ll be back!
