One of the Best If you are looking for a bite to eat or Louisiana merchandise... Go here. The food is outstanding and the pies and pastries are hand made right in their kitchen. The local cuisine they serve just tastes great. The Louisiana merchandise is second to none.

Lol, it's a gas station market We knew it was a gas station before visiting but had to visit since it was listed here. Really nothing special that I could see. Yes, they had souvenirs and fresh food but not much different than those roadside stops of the 70's. The prices were reasonable and if driving by, it isn't a bad stop. Overall, stop if near...

Staying nearby Decided to walk over so glad we did. Meat pies are wonderful. The chocolate & coconut were awesome dessert pies. Love all the stuff to look at as well. A very nice place to fill up on gas or food.

Food Counter Inside Gas Station i think it's a great idea. Good food. No frills. Quick service. I repeat, good food. We had crawfish meat pies, beef meat pies, and red beans with rice. You can take it with you or they have 6 or 7 comfortable tables if you want to stay. You can get fountain drinks, anything else you'd get at a gas...

Really good food I have never eaten food from a gas station, but this place is different. I have only eaten there a few times, but I have been impressed every time. The food is always fresh! They have something for everyone. Crawfish pies, meatpies, boudin balls, pastries, cakes, you name it! I'm getting hungry just thinking about it!!!

Interesting stop While looking for a place for a late breakfast when traveling through the area we actually saw their sign on the way into town and returned to it because we were intrigued by the 'French Market' name....we just should have paid more attention to the word 'Express.' So my main reason for posting this review is to point out that...

Delicious po-boy My husband and I stopped here because we couldn't find a Subway. The offerings sounded interesting. We both had po-boys. I had grilled shrimp and my husband had fried catfish. Both were delicious. The bread was grilled perfectly. The shrimp were cooked just right. The sandwiches included grilled onions and green peppers. I highly recommend this place. And the mini...
