The Francis Smokehouse

I had the brisket sandwich & fries. The brisket was melt in your mouth delicious.

Amazing!!!! I had the Brisket plate & my husband had the brisket sandwich. We loved the food and the service! Highly Recommended!

Best bbq I've had in a very long time. The sides are amazing coleslaw and corn pudding were amazing.

Good food in the heart of St. Francisville! We stopped in after touring the Audubon State Historic Site for a meal and it was really good. The boudin balls are HUGE and very tasty. We also tried a 2-meat, 2-sides barbecue meal with a half chicken and brisket. The chicken, while juicy, just didn't have much flavor to it. It somehow smelled smoky, but really didn't taste smoky or barbecued. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't very memorable. The brisket, however, was amazing! I'm not a huge brisket fan so you've got to have some pretty serious brisket to get a thumbs-up from me, but this lean, tender, juicy brisket is something worth going back for. As for the sides, we got baked beans and corn pudding. The meal also came with a piece of garlic toast. The toast and corn pudding were wonderful. The beans were good, but they were too sweet. I love sweet baked beans, but these were just a bit too sugary. They weren't really bad, just overly sweet enough for us to avoid them on future visits. Their menu a fairly huge selection which is nice, but it seems like they're trying to offer too much at once. When places do this something usually suffers, but since this was my only visit I can't say that's the case here. They have tons of prepared meats along with boudin balls, boudin links, meat pies, cracklin, and more. You can grab a snack, a meal, or meats to cook later at home. It's the kind of place I'd stop in frequently if I lived in the area. A big plus for us were the picnic tables out front since we brought our dog along. You can bring your best friend and still enjoy a great meal! I recommend trying The Francis if you get a chance. You won't be disappointed.

First time here just got a brisket sandwich with french fries and a Boudin ball. Most everyone that I know likes french fries that are crunchy on the outside and soft in the middle. These french fries were soggy all the way through soaked in grease and flappy.The Boudin ball had a good texture to it but it had zero flavor, bland as could be. The brisket sandwich was banging. Probably some of the best brisket I’ve ever had. Any time that I happen to be in the area I will stop and get the brisket.
