Frilly's Seafood Bayou Kitchen

Went to Frilly's for the first time last night with family. When I arrived-- late as usual-- the empty plates were all I saw. There was no trace of food, so I couldn't tell what people had ordered. The only thing that was obvious, was that they had really enjoyed it.

Just to see if the other food they serve was as good as their Cajun offerings, I ordered chicken fried steak with french fries. It was mouthwatering! The crust was crispy, the beef was delicious, the gravy was perhaps a little bit salty, and had chunks of Boudin sausage, which was its only Cajun allusion

A staple for our local Denton-based family, Frilly's owns the surrounding Northridge community for the occasional meal out, serving Cajun seafood classics, like Oysters and Gulf Coast shrimp, topped off with bread pudding and Abita Amber beer.

A must-visit for Mardi Gras season in March.

Cheers,

The service was good and the staff was really friendly but the food in the other hand was alright I got the po boy and it wasn't what I expected the catfish was crispy but no flavor and the tarter sauce carried the sandwhich,

The pecan pie wasn't for me and the presentation that they had wasn't what I got and it was crazy because I actually saw the presentation and it looks like this, like a burnt pizza

I hadn't been to Frilly's in some time, was in the neighborhood, so ordered some food to go. Ordered fried Gulf shrimp and poppers. The food was ready to go promptly, and the wait staff were pleasant. I was looking forward to some good Cajun seasonings. The food was bland. The batter had no seasoning to it and was thin. The poppers had almost no flavor, and the peppers themselves were tough. I was disappointed. Guess I'll look for other places to get my Cajun fix.

Perhaps ironically named Frilly's, this place doesn't need all the pageantry of competitors like Razzoo's to establish itself as a formidable contender in the Cajun food arena. Just an unpretentious, rustic environment and a simple menu will do. Here the food speaks for itself.

At lunch time you grab your own menu, order and pay at the counter, then seat yourself.

We started with appetizers of Swamp fries and calamari. The Swamp fries were delicious and satisfying, practically a meal on their own. Ranch is served on the side but I didn't think they needed it. The calamari was equally as tasty with a golden, extra crispy coating that wasn't greasy despite being fried.

My Cajun catfish lunch combo was substantial enough to not feel like a lunch portion. The rich etouffee was chock full of crawfish and so scrumptious. I always prefer extra heat, so I added some hot sauce to the white rice using one of sauces from their collection. My other family members, who had po boys and pasta, concurred that the food was excellent. In the end we were all members of the clean plate club!

The only drawback to this stellar meal was the drink situation. The server warned us that their margaritas were wine based and contained no tequila, but I figured they might still be good. I was quickly disabused of this notion after the first sip when was hit with an odd, unpleasant taste. Disinfectant came to mind. My husband tried to order a Shiner but they had run out. In fact they were out of almost all of the draft beers on the menu. Evidently drinks are not their focus.

Nevertheless, my family and I are looking forward to returning for more fantastic Cajun food. Frilly's for the win!

I ordered a shrimp po boy sandwich and it was massive. Like way too much bread! It was a little toasty around the edges and I only ate that part of the bread. I usually think of toasty French bread when I think po boy sandwich. Sadly, my French fries were cold!

Others dining with us ordered the fried catfish with French fries and the crawfish etoufee. I think everyone ate their meal but no one really raved about it.

Our server was very nice and friendly. Even the manager was making table visits checking to see how everything was. 5 stars for the friendly and attentive service! It just couldn't make up for the so-so food.

Tried it for the first time and it was really good. I got the Boudin for an appetizer and Mardi Gras pasta for the meal, both were outstanding. Highly recommend this place. I would definitely go back.

This was a spur of the moment "let's find a close by seafood place to eat at" kinda visit.

I located Frilly's through Google and yelp searches and saw they had pretty good reviews so we gave them a try. When we walked in we were immediately greeted and seated. They had a gentleman playing live music who was doing an absolutely wonderful job. He was putting his own charismatic twist on well known songs, wasn't so loud you couldn't talk to people at your own table, honestly the best kinda live music.

We ordered some hishpuppies, fried pickles, and gator bites to start. Great appetizers to get the meal going. Everything was cooked perfectly.

I ordered the Blackened salmon with the st. Andrew's sauce. My lord, it was mouth watering. The salmon was cooked beautifully, the sauce perfectly complemented the blacked seasoning. I really can't describe just how delicious this dish was. I can't even remember what everyone else ordered because I was so focused on my dish. I can confirm everyone enjoyed their meals though! My dad confirmed he is now a fan for life and will definitely be back! L be making a point to visit everytime I'm in Texas now.

The food and service are always good! I enjoy the fried shrimp and their gumbo. Well worth it!

Everything on the menu is amazing! Seafood fondue, popcorn shrimp I definitely recommend!
