Overwhelmingly fantastic! 5 star tastes with affordable prices. Staff was friendly, attentive, and well kept. I have been reliving the robust flavors in my mind. Clean food that tastes fantastic. Addictive recipes. Can't stop thinking about this place!

The train station setting was beautiful. Very festive. The cinnamon roll was delicious and right out of the oven. Overall a very nice dining experience. Definitely will come back to try their dinner offerings.

This place is a Staunton gem! The restaurant atmosphere is wonderful, has an old-world flair that matches the setting perfectly. My hostess was amazing and recommended the gumbo, which I ordered. Best gumbo I think I have ever eaten!

My friend and I loved our lunch at the Frenchmen! The woman helping us was very friendly and helpful and recommended a great glass of wine. Our food came out fast and fresh, and my nicoise salad with tuna (and a delicious homemade lemon vinaigrette!) was excellent. The train station setting was so charming and would make a beautiful and unique backdrop for weddings and other special events.
