WHO WE ARE
The Frenchmen is a culinary destination inspired by the beloved street in New Orleans where the locals of the city gather to experience the unique cultural scene of New Orleans.
We are a team of industry veterans with a passion for food and great service. Our mission is simple: to share the beauty, flavor, and artistry of this historical space with great fare and heartfelt hospitality.
OUR VISION
Our vision is to breathe life back into Staunton’s historical train station, reawakening one of it’s most iconic buildings by offering a unique dining experience.
We believe dining should be more than just eating a meal. It should be a moment, a celebration of conversation, laughter, and the joy of good food and libation.
We value a warm, welcoming environment, above and beyond service. We use quality ingredients in refined, authentic recipes, prepared and served with care and thoughtfulness.
We support local businesses when products are available and within our budget. As we grow, we want to offer support to services in need as we can, to help our community grow stronger together.
We want to offer a space and a service that will keep you coming back for years to come.
“Channeling New Orleans’ legendary Frenchmen Street, it offers the best seat in town for watching trains roll by. Expect heartfelt hospitality and genuine Southern charm in this warm gathering place where great fare—from avocado toast to shrimp and grits—meets NOLA vibes and railroad romance.”
