The French Fry House
Tucked away on the southeast side of Houston, The French Fry House is the kind of laid-back, no-frills spot that knows how to satisfy serious cravings. Located at 5740 S Wayside Dr, this local gem has built a reputation for serving bold, flavor-packed dishes that keep folks coming back.
If you’re into comfort food with a twist, you’re in for a treat. The menu isn’t just about fries — though they’re definitely the star. Think crispy Boudin Egg Rolls, spicy-saucy Buffalo Chicken, and crowd-favorite creations like the Big Tex and Lemon Pepper Chicken. For something creamy and hearty, the Chicken Alfredo is a solid pick that hits just right.
The vibe at The French Fry House? Super chill. It’s casual, a little divey in the best way, and totally unpretentious. There’s outdoor seating for when the Texas weather cooperates, and they’re cool with dogs hanging out, too. It gets a bit lively with moderate noise, but that just adds to the neighborhood feel. Plus, it’s kid-friendly, so don’t hesitate to bring the whole crew.
What sets this place apart is its mix of comfort and creativity. Every bite feels indulgent, but not overdone. It’s that perfect balance — greasy in a good way, flavorful without being overwhelming, and familiar with a twist. Whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch, fueling up after work, or just chasing that next crispy bite, The French Fry House hits the spot every time.

Dominique was the best experience of MG life I thank God for the French fry house amen
All I have to eggroll all of the combination are soooooo good love it. My favorite restaurant. Such a friendly french fry lady at the front counter. Go this weekend guys get you eggrolls.
First the service was fast and courteous. The young lady was patient while I decided what I wanted to order. The food was hot and very tasty. Good comfort food. The egg rolls are a definite must have. This is a cute little neighborhood spot with walk-up window. Outside seating available.
I had the lemon pepper fries. The chicken was tasty and Im still impressed and amazed at how underneath the sauce and meat the fries managed to stay crispy. Its like magic in the most amazing way. Only reason I didnt give 5 stars is because I'm positive I said no bacon (b/c I dont eat pork) and didnt realize my order was wrong until I made it to my destination. Removing bacon bits is a task worthy of -2 stars but the fries really were that good otherwise.
Seafood boudin is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!! I love going there. Respectful staff and great service.
