David RobinsonMay 18, 2015The buffalo grouper sandwich is so good, and they have a delicious frozen drink that tastes like key lime pie! Fun place to watch sunsets.
ben latimerOctober 2, 2014DON'T EAT THE LOBSTER!! On 9/6/14 I ordered the whole lobster. I spent all night throwing up.. and up.. and up.. and up.. Below is also a picture of the last lobster I will ever eat. Thanks Frenchy's!

Sam OttJune 14, 2015Absolutely loved this place! So great to just walk in off the beach. The crab fries are amazing. We couldn't get enough!!!
Aaron SmithAugust 2, 2013Sat outside to enjoy the sunset. Service was good and the food was tasty. Jerk chicken sandwich was spicier than what in used to, but the kids liked it!
Kyle SabelJune 14, 2012First of all it's "shrimp" not "shrimps" you degenerate. Staff is great but if they are busy they can't be on a degenerates beckoning call. I'm sure you didn't tip as well. Food is great
Cyndee HaydonJuly 6, 2014Always had a wonderful time here and love the casual patio dining with same Frenchy's specialties while overlooking Beachwalk on Clearwater Beach.

Rosie PaulsenAugust 28Don’t Order their “Famous” Grouper Sandwich! It had an after taste on everything, & it was not delectable. Our waitress was distracted!
Tracey JohnsonFebruary 6, 2012Great place to eat.. And right across the street from Clearwater Beach, Dine inside or outside.. Love It!!
Matt CasonNovember 19, 2013Buffalo grouper sandwich rocks! Great live music and perfect location on the beach.- TripsterDecember 30, 2012Started as a hole in the wall. Specialty is the original Grouper sandwich and it is still the best.
- Lobster Mac n cheese has no lobster. Otherwise is great place!
RickSeptember 28, 2011While the diablo shrimp is delicious, it will tell you to do evil things. Exercise caution when eating, but do try it. It's delicious.
Kendall WhiteMay 30, 2013Order the Grouper Sandwich or get off the beach- your vacation privileges have been revoked! Awesome eats!
Nicholas AbentrothDecember 14, 2011Solid experience. Great service in the afternoon. Good grouper sandwich. Nothing to complain about for us.
Michele Gavazzi WilburJune 15, 2013Fish tacos done wrong. Try anything else. Love the she crab soup!
Chip G.December 28, 2011Original grouper sandwich has not changed over the years and the BEST I have ever had.
Try the grilles grouper! Fish tacos could be so much better if they leave off the cheese and add avocado! Fish was yummy!
