I grill/ smoke brisket and turkey breast along with the staples. Captain Frank has seriously delicious smoked meats and really good sides. Well worth the trip to the Bayou.

With a 4.8 rating, we couldn’t wait to try some great Alabama ‘Q. Sadly, this place was not it. Brisket was shoe-leather tough, zero marbling, zero bark. It tasted like it needed 10 more hours of slow smoking to break down the connective tissue and infuse the meat with fatty juiciness and flavor. Neither were anywhere in the vicinity. On to the pulled pork. It should be pulled to the side of the road and left there. Dry, flavorless, cottony texture. It suffered from the lack of being cooked low and slow. The baked beans were good, the slaw was decent.

2 slices of meat came on the platter for $12 with 2 small cups of slaw and beans, appx 1/8 cup each, plus a roll. Had the meat been edible, an ok price. I’d suggest stopping at the Citgo or Chevron and opting for the fried okra and alligator hush puppies along with their excellent coffee for $6.

I called my order in for pick up and was excited to try this place, but was met with no kindness and actually the lady I encountered was quite rude. I guessed it was because I was not a local in her eyes. It seemed a shame that a place I might would have returned to and could have considered quite quaint lost any future business of mine.

If you are in the bayou during the week, this is the place to go get some of the best barbecue I have eaten and I have lived in texas, kansas city and multiple other places that brag about their bbq, Franks is ever bit as good!
Pulled pork is yummy, and the ribs fall off the bone! Lots of options, including stuffed baked potato, may I want to call ahead for the potatoes they go quickly!
