First, the boudin egg rolls were soggy… the dough was tough, like it had been cooked earlier in the day and reheated. It was tasty, though, I’ll give it that.
Then, the shrimp platter I ordered came with a side salad… that was delivered to me as soon as I sat down, but no silverware was provided. I got up and started hunting for silverware, ended up having to get a set from a stack at the check in area, only to get back to my table and discover it was wrapped dirty. My partner went hunting and brought back five or six sets, just in case.
The shrimp was good sized shrimp, but a little soggy.
Then, the crawfish etouffee turned out to be either half cooked or half dried out, as some of the rice was dry and crunchy. The etouffee itself was good, but not great.
A waitress came by and asked if we needed anything, and left before we could answer.
Nothing seemed to have spice to it. The salad I’d expect to be… ya know… salad-y. But a creole place should have creole flavor.
Nobody seems happy to be working here. It’s a frog themed restaurant, I expected it to be upbeat and cheerful. It is not. It feels like a place dreams go to die. Which makes me really sad because I read the story about Fred online and I am emotionally attached and invested in that frog dang it.
Speaking of frogs, the frog enclosures are dirty enough I cant see the frogs.
On the topic of cleanliness, the interior is tidy and well kept, aside from sitting dust and cobwebs on windowsills, and windows that are really dirty. There is food splatter on the wall beside my booth that reminds me a bit of colorful fireworks. If i had a frame I could make it look intentional.
Oh, and two thirds of the lights inside are all off…. which makes it feel dingier than I’d expect. Honestly I feel like a few pool tables and a dart board would be all it needs to turn the place into a dive. Well, that and decent booze.
Overall, I really wanted this to be a better experience than it was. Im disappointed. We’ve been driving for several hours and made a detour just to try this place, considering all the raving reviews.
I will say, the layout is pretty neat. And I appreciate the souvenir cups and the ability to refill my cup myself. Though, the sweet tea wasn’t very tea.
The bathroom is horrendous. There’s no tp, the floors are sticky enough I’d have to be a frog to find it sanitary. The handrails are sticky, the toilet seat is broken.
I hope if we ever pass this way again, we will get to see happy employees and taste that “great food and fun” that Fred dreamed about. Cause honestly, I was chasing Fred’s dream too.
So glad we did. Atmosphere is super cool if you even remotely like frogs (not to eat). If you love them then this is your place.
We tried a number of things and everything was amazing. Overall I have to HIGHLY SUGGEST the PHD “burger” but with the crispy chicken. Wow! The flavors are awesome. The sauce was amazing. Simply perfect.
Second, order the sweet potato fries. They come with a dusting of confectioner’s sugar and a sweet sauce that could top a cinnamon roll.
The kids all got wraps and said they were great. One got bread pudding as a side and loved it.
I dont know when I’ll be back to Clinton, but I will be stopping again. If you live in the area, consider yourself lucky and frequent this establishment and support your local business.
Food was great. Had just the right amount of crunch to the po boy had a great flavor. Gumbo was not super spicy had a great dark roux. My son enjoyed his so much that I gave him most of mine as my sandwich was really filling. Loved the plastic reusable cup/souvenir of our visit.
There was always a worker circulating around the restaurant and asking if everything was ok or if anything was needed.
I highly recommend The Froghead Grill if you are in the area and are looking for some great food.
