Frankie's Fried Chicken in Courtenay

Absolutely awesome chicken strips and "Frankies sauce". Sad that it is closing on a few days.

3 days until they close . Lame. Such good chicken. We will miss you.

Got the special poutine chicken burger with onion rings... $27 for 2 tenders on a bun with some cheese and fries and a tiny amount of rings. Sandwich sucked and just tasted like a bun full of gravy and mayo. Total ripoff, still hungry.

Wife and I order here all the time, I have lived in alot of places, tried alot of different styles of chicken, and even made it through the great KFC chickenrush of Courtenay(by the friend skin of my bird, i might addin the early months of 2022.. But let me tell ya this... Frankies might hands down.. be the best chicken I have ever had In BC, maybe in western Canada... they make a damn fine fried bird i must say. and those icing caked hot deep friend donuts at the end... omg boy let me tell yea whut... Im gettin hungry just thinkin about it. other chickin in the valley has left me dissapointed.. but never frankies!

Great food, great portions, fresh cooked by order. Worth every bite !

Best chicken burgers and LUV the donuts so warm and yummmy!!

Amazing fried chicken ! Great family business !Unique and a do-not-miss for visitors !

Tasty chicken and cute friendly staff that helped us in our seal hunting adventures. Didnt manage to catch the seals sunbathing but we tried 🤣

Friend of mine suggested we eat here cause they have the best chicken. She was RIGHT! Yo, the chicken is so crunchy on the outside, and SO tender on the inside. Staff was friendly, and our order was quick. If I lived in Comox I would eat here all the time.

Quality chicken, nice Texas toast for the sandwich, good vibes. I didnt think the donuts would work with fried chicken but work well. 10/10

If youre in the Comox-Courtenay area, Frankies is the place for a quick and tasty bit of chicken and chips. Price was reasonable & lots of food (the box for 1 could feed 2 if youre not super hungry). Frankies is a local institution and worth a visit. If its not raining, there are some picnic tables on the water otherwise, its take away or car food. Its a funky little place & one Ill head back to when Im nearby.

Okay, ummm so , mmmm, WOW. I think this is the best chicken I have ever eaten. I didnt know it could be so moist and delicious, absolutely every part was amazing, the seasoning is magic. I got the classic and nearly ate the box it came in even though it was more food than I could eat. If you only had one purpose to stop in Comox, this should be that purpose. it will be mine, I refuse to eat anywhere else in Comox. Oh my god Frankie. You win at food. Staff is also top notch. yum yum yum yummmmmmmm

The best chicken tenders, great kids meals, great sandwiches! Cant wait to go back

Chicken tenders were probably the best Ive ever had. Piping hot and moist. Really good.The onion rings werent great. Would have never known there was any onion. Just batter.Donuts and toast were good.I would go back for sure, but strictly for the chicken tenders only.

I tried this place for the first time after hearing from so many satisfied customers. I had it delivered to my workplace and it was sooo good! Crispy, tender chicken packed with flavour. Probably the best fried chicken Ive had:)

I suddenly forgot all about my healthy eating habits, this fried chicken and the little donuts blew my mind! I can’t wait to go again.

*Used to be 5-Stars*This used to be the best fried chicken in the world , perfectly crispy and tender on the inside and all the sides were delicious.. BUT the past 2 times I ate here the chicken and fries were very soggy and the gravy wasn’t very hot….. not sure what they have been lacking on but Would love to see it go back to the quality it’s known for!!!

Too bad its Frankies chicken strips. A quality fried chicken place is needed for this end of the island. KFC / Lees famous dont cut it.

Came here on the perfect day, not too hot, not too busy and were able to find a spot on their outside picnic table area. Hands down the best chicken fingers weve ever had. Perfectly seasoned, crunchy and moist. My fussy kid only eats chicken fingers when we go out so I specifically made the trip here as thats what they specialize in and we were not disappointed. They do have a very clean port-a-potty in behind as well and we were able to have our dog beside us on their lawn. Worth a stop if youre hungry with many different serving sizes to share and choose from. Also you have to try their donuts.

Oh my gosh I had the best chicken here, it was a 10/10, so moist and delicious and I loved there tasty little donuts! It was nice to be able to sit outside and enjoy the sights and the sounds of the ocean while we enjoyed our lunch!

These might possibly be the best chicken strips Ive ever had ... the nice lady gave us a complimentary donut while we waited(which was awesome). Almost gave 4 stars due to a rude young fella working there (Typical teenage boybut this chicken is way too good.

Absolutely delicious lunch!!Tender, juicy chicken with a crispy crust, home made fries. Very Friendly service and super fast.Oh- we got free doughnuts upon arrival!Even the dog for a treat.Definitely worth a visit.And the doughnuts were delicious- for some for the road

I just popped by the Lil Donut Shop next door and spoiled myself. Those lil donuts were awesome!

Juiciest tender chicken Ive ever had. Not so sure about the bread but amazing overall with a great view. So good we even canoed here just for it.

Been here 4 times now. 1st time was shortly after it opened, I didnt think it was that great. Overpriced, I thought. Decided to give it another shot a year ago, and I thought it was much better. Delicious chicken, great fries, great sauces. 3rd time, same. 4th time a few days ago, and the chicken was very dark, and it tasted like the oil was old. The free little donuts also tasted like old french fries. I think Frankies can be very good, or it can be not so good. The lack of consistency makes me think twice about ever going back.

We stopped here for the fist time and OMG it was delicious. Crispy and not at all greasy. The chicken tenders were juicy and tasted fresh. The donut bites are amazing and worth a trip just to get them. Service was great and the staff were very friendly. If you are in the Comox valley or heading north or south it is worth the detour.

First time here, we are from Calgary heading to Powell River. Our son highly recommended stopping for some fried chicken. It was so worth it. Fries and donuts also so yummy!!

If you havent been to Frankies yet for their unreal chicken then you are missing out! My go to for the best chicken strips, great fries and amazing sauces. And always a new sauce on the menu to try!

Heyzeus their buffalo chicken sandwich with buttermilk ranch is good. The poutine gravy is so herbaceous and delicious too. Very consistent product and they can get busy and cook to order so make sure not to be in a rush cause it can take a minute some days. Oh man and a couple warm mini donuts with a slight crisp and soft inside. Writing a review was a mistake - have to go back much sooner.

Had the chicken tenders and donuts. The tenders were amazing. Substantial size, crispy tasty coating and moist large pieces of chicken. The donuts were freshly made and very yummy in our tummy.will be back.

We didn’t even get time to take a picture of the french fries they were so good! The best we’ve ever had. The chicken was tender and the outside was perfectly crispy. We will be returning, and more than once! This is a don’t miss it restaurant!!!

We pre-ordered, order was ready on time, food was warm even with taken it home in Courtenay. Customer service excellent, ppl friendly. The chicken seasoning is insanely good, nice home made fried and onions rings + those mini donuts to die for. So for 2 costed 36$ tx incl which is very reasonable. I do recommend anyone to try their chicken, next Friday I know what we are getting for take out night!

Best chicken strips in the cìty. If you are into chicken, youll like these. The strips are large, have a yummy spice to them and are always crispy. You get a choice of dipping sauce and the more strips you buy the more flavours you get! My kids ask for them, so they like them too. They arent cheap, but you are paying for quality. We paid around 75 with tax and tip for Beach Box for 4, but thats still under 20 a person for strips, fries, donuts and drinks.

Best chicken on the island. Very juicy as well as crispy chicken. Wish I could give five stars but few things need to be mentioned. I always order in large quantities for a group of 3-5 people. Two of the times they forgot to add donut bites in my order, and the last time I ordered for 2 classic boxes and 1 big box they forgot to add my garlic sauce and were only a few pieces (4of chicken in the big box. Felt disappointed as the order was for a group of 5.

The most juicy and tender chicken ever. Home style fries and yummy donut bites. The snack pack is great value. Three large chicken tenders, enough fries and two donut bites that are to die for. This is a must stop place when heading up island.

Delicious simple comfort food done right! great value with outstanding friendly service. Definitely worth a try. if you havent discovered it yet youre missing out. I can usually find something wrong with a place but not here. Ive ordered take out here 3 times flawless.

Might be the best fried chicken I’ve had!Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, well seasoned chicken with great fries. You can smell the seasoning in the air, which is just how we like it. So many delicious dipping sauces to choose from and very friendly service. All around a great place. We plan to come back here again and again any time we’re in town. Fantastic!

I was on hold for ten minutes before being disconnected, not a big deal but not much concern was conveyed when I politely mentioned it. The chicken was disappointing. Not much flavor in the meat itself, texture felt reformed. The breading was overly spiced and far to salty. The breading was not crispy. Something about chewing unexpected chunks of chicken cartilage that is very unappetizing. The fries were okay but still not great. I ordered for several people and this was the agreed upon sentiment. I want to support local but this place really needs to up its game. There are several restaurant chains I would recommend going to for chicken before Frankies.

Such great chicken! This place is awesome. For the less than the price of a sit down restaurant, Frankies Big Box is large enough for two meals. And they add two donut holes to each order for a sweet treat after dinner. They only cook chicken when they have an order, so you know your meal is fresh rather than sitting under a heat lamp. This slows down ordering, but when your order is ready, they deliver it to your vehicle and its never taken more than ten minutes.

The best fried chicken strips on the island, haven’t had better. Really tender. Pineapple curry dip is great too. Nice view to eat outdoors. I haven’t had the poutine yet: but the fries are good too. Staff are friendly. I always order the big box. A little small to share with two people but we eat it as a snack on the road. Perfect .

Frankies Fried Chicken is a favourite of ours. We regularly take out or order for delivery. The batter on the chicken with their secret herbs and spices are unique and tasty! We usually order the 6 piece box of chicken and fries but recently we tried the chicken burger...OH MY GOODNESS, ITS DELICIOUS! The homemade donut bites top off any meal with perfection!Last summer we even made it a kayaking destination. We kayaked over from the Air Park and stopped in at Frankies for lunch. It was a day to remember.

For chicken strips, they were really good. Compared to KFC chicken? Not great. Okay. Fries were far better than most fast food places and the homemade donuts were pretty decent. Overall Id return if the chef decided to sell the chicken in bucket form started deep frying thighs breasts and drumsticks. Sir, i like fried chicken. Chicken strips are alright.

Got my order from SkipTheDishes. Fries and honey mustard were really good. Chicken tasted like something you buy from the store and put in the oven. Coating was slimy and didnt stick to the chicken. Donut bites were actually SALTY. Never again

Delicious! Chicken was really tender and moist with a nice batter that had a crunch without being too heavy and was nicely seasoned with spices. Chicken fingers were a really good size too - I ended up having leftovers, which were just as yummy the next day. Fries were also tasty. I love that the classic boxes come with a dip and donut bites! There arent many take-out fried chicken choices around town - were glad Frankies is here and well be back!

Really love the chicken, its all chicken tenders. Yummy and crunchy, also they dont skimp on the size, but I was disappointed with the fries, small and too crispy for our taste. Their caesar salad and small donuts are always delicious 🤩👍Will definitely be back, wasnt our first time, wont be our last

Ordered 3 piece classic box. Tenders were really moist and nice spice coating. Didnt really need dipping sauce. Had the asiago peppercorn ranch dipping sauce and wasnt disappointed. Two mini donuts was nice touch. Would defiantly come back. The staff was really friendly and helpful for first time customers.

Holy Cluck!!!! Hot delicious fast food. Love the sauce selection. Chicken is succulent. Friendly efficient service. Excellent menu. Wow!!!!! So happy for this new addition of food options. Picnic tables around back perfect for family to eat and chill.

This chicken is amazing! Super flavorful, juicy and just the perfect amount of spices. The location is beautiful overlooking the ocean and mountains. Very family friendly with a playhouse and optional coloring for the kids. Lots of hard work and attention to detail has gone into this place and it shows.

This place deserves the hype! Waiting for it to open was heart wrenching and when they put their menu up I was all but standing outside yelling GIVE ME THE CHICKEN!Now that they have opened its even better than I had hoped. The chicken is soaked in seasoned buttermilk with some herbs and spices that make it the perfect bite. What I didnt expect is the Tim Horton beating donut bites, the hand cut fries and the fleet of dipping sauces that really take this place to the next level.If you havent tried it yet get down there ASAP for Lunch or Dinner.Easy 5 stars.

Freaking love Frankies!! Awesome chicken strips, great fresh fries, lil donuts to kill for and smiles and good attitudes to go along with it all. Grab a box and enjoy it at the picnic tables overlooking the water. Hands down this is now one of my favourite places in the valley to grab a quick bite!
