French Market Express - Natchitoches (LA)

5 /5 Foodie Cat: Wow !! This place is far better than I ever imagined!! Right of I-49 and easy to get to. Then, easy to get back on and continue on your way ! First off, they also have gas pumps. The name is misleading, and I didnt really know what to expect. Inside is amazing. You have your basic convenience stuff - cookies, chips, coke, candy, and typical convenience store stuff. Added to that, there is a small section of Louisiana souvenirs... do you Christmas shopping whilst youre here. The biggest and BEST is the eatery! Its a small area to order lunch, cookies, and pick up a bottle of wine or two. You can read all the other reviews for the specific foods... Its a quaint, little cafe thing with a handful of tables indoors. All the employees are great which makes for a great visit for you !!

4 /5 Lamont Jasper (Ash): The food and atmosphere is great. Everything was hot and crispy. Kinda odd that they charge $.50 to add ketchup to a combo order at the kiosk, but, other than that, its a good experience. (Also make sure to check your togo orders if you add condiments. They forgot mine :[ )

5 /5 Job Ruzvidzo: This place ROCKS. Best gas station food you will find. Staff was fun and engaging, gave samples and we ended up getting more than we really needed. I highly recommend a stop here if in the area.

5 /5 Mike Elliott: Don’t miss it!!! Looks like just a regular local gas station but the secret inside. Looks like the locals know about this one but if you’re an out-of-towner you might miss it. So glad we stopped in. Fresh pastries, cakes and pies and the Louisiana Yam Cake you’ve gotta try. There was a chocolate pound cake also. And all at great prices for the value. Large freezer section of LA meats, sausages and LA specialties. If I could have kept everything frozen back to Texas I’d have about tons of the stuff. Souvenirs. Huge hot breakfast selection and lunch and dinner available. Skip the national chains surrounding it and head here.

3 /5 Vidya MN: Wanted to try meat pie as it was local fav. Crawfish Meat Pie - not as expected also it had rice in it which I don’t prefer - 3/5 Buffalo Chicken Cheese roll - felt it had mainly cheese - 4/5 But the gas station is only one available during late evenings. Appreciate their timings and service. This gas station has pretty good snacks for the journey.
