Best KPortal Reviews
We had the Spinach & Artichoke Dip, The Francis Shrimp appetizer as a meal, & the Jacked Up Hamburger Steak. All were amazing. We had the Key lime pie. It was different but good…pretty tart though. Amazing service!
We thought this restaurant was pretty dang delicious! Like, wow! Great menu items, great Cajun style food and great execution. Amazing atmosphere and our service was great as well. If you are in the area don’t forget to stop by and grab yourself some of their amazing gumbo. We did try both gumbos, seafood or chicken & sausage, we think the seafood was better and had more depth of flavor. Even the color was darker. It was also our first time trying the boudin, and I’m so happy we tried it here first!
I wasn't expecting much in a small town but I was DEFINITELY surprised. The bad first...I was expecting sweet tea with a little tea and a lot of sugar. It was just sweet tea. I ordered gumbo for the appetizer and it was a little spicy but good. Ok, now the GOOD! I ordered the Triple Play Platter: oysters, catfish, and shrimp. The platter was huge, see the picture. I was not expecting this much. The shrimp were huge. The oysters were a bit spicy but nothing to complain about. The tartar sauce has to be homemade bc it was delicious. We also ordered the shrimp and grits and it was a platter by itself. See the picture. Overall, if I'm ever in St Francisville again, I will definitely stop by The Francis. Awesome food!
Camping for the weekend in the area ( from Ponchatoula) and ate here for lunch 3/2/24. I have to say, we’re still talking about this place. We can’t remember the last time we were so impressed with a restaurant. The service & the food!! The atmosphere was great- indoors & outdoor patio with the huge shady oak tree... The service was spectacular. We were greeted very warmly by the hostess, and served by Macy. She was so nice, answered all questions, and never had us waiting long. She even got busy with large tables & never missed a beat with us. Food came quick too…& was GREAT! The jacked up hamburger steak (didn’t know this was needed but is a must), spinach & shrimp dip, crab cakes (some of the best I’ve had) and white chocolate bread pudding for dessert, DELICIOUS !!????????????????I recommend them ALL. Also, we had various servers/bus boys periodically clear our table, ask if we needed a bag on the way out, told us bye & thanks. Multiple employees…5star service. We’re eating there again on our way out tomorrow.
20240328 I phoned in my order and the lady answer the phone sounded busy and preoccupied. When I arrived, the lady at the bar helped me. She was nice but was too busy multitasking. I ordered the Duck Confit Eggrolls and Crawfish Ettoufee. It seems like the eggrolls are missing something, and would be good with shredded spring onions or cilantro. The spring onions would be similar to Peking Duck. The crawfish in the Crawfish Ettoufee could be a little bigger. Both dishes were good.
Very nice restaurant. The redfish fillet was good but not really Cajun spice good like I would have expected. Service was really good and the restaurant was clean and decorated with cool big deer heads. I felt right at home. Thanks...
I may run out of positive adjectives for this place! The duck confit eggrolls were transcendent. The richness of the flavor of the duck mixed with the sauce was exquisite. The boudin balls had a perfect breading with terrific texture and spectacular flavor. The fried crab claws, while a bit small, were also flavorful and the sauce made them excellent. The shrimp crawfish and andouille pasta is one of the top 5 meals I've had on our tour of the South. Each forkful was better than the last. The blackened chicken pasta was absolutely lovely with a terrific sauce thickness and all around great flavor. A perfect meal and experience!!
Fast and friendly service. Great food. The wait time for being seated and receiving food is not a long wait. The amount and taste of the food served is worth the price. This is the best restaurant around.
