"Best turtle soup I've found in years."— David Riley
The star of the show. Crispy shrimp tossed in our tangy bang-bang sauce.
Reviewers call ours the best they've found in years. Made from scratch.
Pawpaw-style. Worth a three-hour drive from Alabama.
The catfish locals come back for — verified across five sources.
Outstanding, says the customer who tried them. (MenuPix)

Bourne's Restaurant has been a Franklinton tradition — family-owned, family-run, family-fed.
Three generations of the Bourne family have served seafood and country comfort food in Washington Parish. The Bang Bang Shrimp, the boiled crawfish, the catfish — all of it made fresh, every day.
