St. Francisville is a sleepy little town north of Baton Rouge that’s probably best known for being home to America’s most haunted plantation, The Myrtles, but there’s a hidden gem hiding in this charming town, and it’s worthy of a road trip. If you find yourself in West Feliciana Parish and hungry for some perfectly southern staples, you should make your way to the Magnolia Cafe.

For locals in the St. Francisville area, the Magnolia Cafe is a tradition.
