Updated: Happy to say we did return… Our experience was such an improvement. Taylor, our server, was absolutely on point. Thank you! Food was again, very enjoyable. We will be back when in town!
The food was absolutely delicious — everything we ordered tasted fresh and flavorful, and the atmosphere itself was very nice.
Unfortunately, the service really missed the mark. Our side salads didn’t arrive until the end of the meal, served as if they were dessert. It took a long time to receive even half of our drink order, and we had to remind our waitress, Destiny, three times for the rest. She never came to check on our table, and I eventually had to go downstairs to the bar myself to order and carry our drinks back up.
When I let her know, there was no apology — just the drinks added to the bill. For most of the meal, she stood talking at another table while we helped ourselves to to-go boxes, napkins, and even asked for our own checks. When she finally came over, she said how busy she was, though it was clear she wasn’t tending to our table.
We were disappointed to see a 20% automatic gratuity added for our large party, especially considering the service. She also mentioned the tip would be split among the group, which wasn’t accurate. We even tipped extra on top of that.
We did speak with the manager,after paying and he was willing to try to make it right for us.
Based on other reviews, it seems this is a recurring issue with large groups. Despite the experience, we plan to return in December and hope to see improvements — because the food truly was wonderful and worth giving another chance.

After locating the entrance, we were escorted to a table on the second floor. The decor is what I would call upscale rustic. The food is local, comfort, and really good. I ordered the gumbo. Pretty good gumbo, I appreciate the okra flavor and crawfish tails. We also ordered the crab cakes and the fancy fries. Both were very good. Our server was Taylor. He was very professional and attentive. Upstairs was great as we had it to ourselves. Great small town restaurant with good prices. I would definitely one back.

October 4 was my birthday. But since it is now OK to celebrate your birthday throughout the month, my friend invited me to celebrate my birthday at her favorite restaurant to my surprise her favorite restaurant, which to my surprise was the restaurant that I had passed many times on my way to different parts of Louisiana was one in the same “The Francis“. I was elated!!!
Upon entering the restaurant, the hostess asked us where we wanted to be seated, and, I said wherever we will be served the quickest! So she directed us to the patio. The patio was delightful!!! In the center of it is this large oak tree with long limbs covered with thick leaves to shade you from the sun, but yet provides a cool breeze when needed! I loved sitting out there!
Within five minutes or less, our server came she was amazing! Funny, sweet, attentive, she was everything you would want embodied in your server! She had us laughing so much I’ve felt she needed her own sitcom!! but in the mist of all of that humor and laughter, she paid attention to our needs and addressed them. I have never been so well served. I think her name is Alicia and if you ever have the pleasure of eating at the Francis, you must request to be served by Alicia. She, is worth a visit to the restaurant!!!
For appetizers, we ordered fried eggplant with a marinara sauce, absolutely delicious crunchy on the outside soft on the inside delicately seasoned perfectly accompanied by a marinara sauce
I ordered for my entrée, a ribeye with asparagus and a friend ordered a chicken fried steak. Both were absolutely delicious the meal portions. Well if you close your eyes, you thought you were you were visiting your mom, and she had just fixed your plate, and put it in front of you.
Yeah, they are that generous!! My ribeye was a thin cut, but large and cooked to perfection! Tender, juicy, and delicious!!!It came with asparagus, perfectly seasoned and crunchy. A dinner salad and garlic bread!
I am so well please with my birthday meal that I’m thinking about going with my friend next month on her birthday. It was just that good!!!
If you are ever in the Saint Francisville area and want to treat your face to a wonderful meal, you must go to “The Francis “ you will not be disappointed!!!

We’ve had several great experiences at The Francis but today was so bad, I’m not sure that we can return, which is a shame because it’s always a fun drive from Baton Rouge and we love the beautiful patio. Today, 11/29/25, I ordered the Eggplant Feliciana. When it arrived, I quickly realized the eggplant was underdone, and tasted like it wasn’t cooked properly in the middle. We had to go inside to find the waitress who was servicing the patio. I asked her if I could send it back and get something else, and she agreed, but seemed extremely annoyed. I ordered the blackened chicken on brioche since that seemed like a safe and easy order. By this time, my husband was done eating his meal because I told him not to let it get cold. When my blackened chicken arrived, it was not only *not blackened* but also didn’t seem fully cooked and was slimy. At that point we paid the bill and left, highly disappointed and I was physically sick over the underdone chicken. I’ve attached a photo of the food I was served the second time around when we just gave up.

My wife and I went for our 52nd wedding anniversary! Our Waitress was Crystal J. She did an exceptional job explaining the menu and helping us with our decision! She also helped my sister from Dothan Alabama treat us to dessert. We bother ordering steaks. The were cooked to perfection! Would highly recommend Francis for all your dining.

I went to the Francis Saturday night. Me and my family were treated very nasty by the service. The rear part of the restaurant was cold. They had no heat on with people going out of the door leaving. While you are sitting at the dinner table trying to get food with cold 43 degrees night air blowing in the eating area on you. However it’s warm by the host stand and freezer cold in the dining area. They gave us poor customer service, and I was so excited to go there after I heard through others to go try it. We tried to place or order the server was rude. We told her we wanted everything fried fresh and lightly fried. She got smart with us and said everything here is always fried fresh. I told her I wanted my drink in a to go cup instead of a drinking glass due medical reasons. My drink was brought out in a regular glass. I told the server about the drinking glass and she caught an attitude. I also told her how I wanted my loaded fries prepared. It was not fixed that way. It had to be sent back to the kitchen. I asked for ranch instead of cocktail sauce. No ranch came out with my food. Me and my kids ordered seafood. They gave us food that was hot and cold mixed together. You could look at the fish and see they were fried at different times some it you could still see the grease in it and some of it was fried dark and some of it was fried light. I said I wasn’t going to worry about it, but considering that I spent 108$ I decided to call and let the manager Samantha know about it. She did her research and called me back offering me 25$ as the resolution. I asked her how can you offer me 25$ on a 108$ bill nobody had alcohol no dessert and no appetizers we had seafood. Fish and shrimp plate kids fish and fries. I had the shrimp platter and my wife had the seafood potato meal, in which my wife ate her food but the fried seafood that me and my kids ordered. Should’ve been taken care of better than that. Samantha’s response was because the seafood itself is 10$ a plate so I’m guessing fries is the other 10$ that made our meals 25$ a piece giving me a grand total of 108$. This is very wrong but one sure fact we reap what we sow.Samantha and that server will see that again how bad me and my family were treated god doesn’t sleep.
