Our Table

From our table
to yours.

Tucked along Highway 62 just outside Franklinton, Bourne's is the kind of family seafood house Washington Parish folks drive out of their way for. The steam tables stay loaded, the crawfish stay boiling, and the welcome is as warm as the hush puppies.

It's casual, it's generous, and it's Louisiana through and through — good food, good times, good company. Some folks come for the buffet, some for a hand-cut ribeye, some just to fill a family box on the way home. Everybody leaves happy.
