Frenchy's Chicken, Southern restaurant in Houston, United States
Frenchy's Chicken is a fried chicken restaurant in Houston, Texas, known for its Creole-style seasoning and Southern side dishes like red beans, dirty rice, and cornbread. The restaurant has several locations across the city, with the original on Scott Street in the Third Ward.
Percy Creuzot opened Frenchy's Chicken in 1980 on Scott Street in Houston's Third Ward, bringing a recipe rooted in Louisiana Creole cooking. Over time, the restaurant grew beyond that first address while the original location remained open and active.
Frenchy's is a Black-owned spot that has long been a gathering place for Houston's Third Ward neighborhood. The Southern-style sides, like red beans and cornbread, reflect the food traditions that many local families grew up with.
Most locations open around midday and close in the evening, so an early visit tends to avoid longer waits, especially on weekends. Takeout is a popular option, and family-size boxes make it easy to order for a group.
The Scott Street location sits in a neighborhood that is home to Texas Southern University, and students have been regular customers since the restaurant first opened. This steady connection with the nearby campus has shaped the everyday rhythm of the place for over 40 years.
