Heberts Boudin & Cracklins - (Near Kinder, LA)

Cynthia 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!!!

Amy Luebke We went to Coterie twice in one day last Sunday (12/28). The doorman at the Westin recommended it for lunch ( great) and we went back for the char-grilled oysters for dinner (even better!). Food was great, service both times also great (Colin at lunch, Dwayne at dinner). Id eat there again in a heartbeat. Bloody Mary with pickled green beans and olives was a yes- please!

queen tina I cannot say enough about this wonderful place! From the beautiful dining room to the server, the food was exceptional! Just EVERYTHING an out of towner would want to try for the first time for real! The food is fantastic and the environment is so inviting. A must stop if you are in from out of state! Especially if you want a great (not good) bowl of gumbo!

Hannah Mock This place had some good food and I loved their fried green beans!
