Market Max is the closest gas station to the Bogue Chitto State Park. It is also the first gas…read morestation you encounter when entering the Town of Franklinton AKA The Fair City. The station has plenty of pumps, but is somewhat difficult to exit as it is in a curve in the roadway. OK. I could do like a lot of elites and just make that the end of my review. But I like to read my own words so I will expound a bit before clicking that little red post button at the bottom right of this page. I ended up at this station as a result of my failure to plan. I knew I was driving around to explore and should have fueled up earlier, but I got sidetracked finding a cemetery. After that detour I realized I was getting into low fuel territory. My Jeep keeps me apprised of how many miles I have till empty, but as I quickly learned, at some point it just says low fuel. This warning came on right as I was about to turn in to the state park so I knew I had better find a station quickly. Market Max was the closest place, but at around six miles away, I was a wee bit afraid I would learn how hard it is to push a Jeep in Louisiana hill country. Luckily for me, six miles is within low fuel warning range and I quickly filled up. This station is obviously very popular since it is one of the few places in the area. That meant a unique cross section of humanity was fueling at the same time as me. I saw bikers, cowboys, hippies, rednecks, old folks and one giant lummox. The cool thing was that despite all of the unique people, not once did I feel out of place. In summary, if you're around Franklinton and need gas, stop here.

We had a pitcher of frozen margaritas, which they offer many flavors. The inside is dim lit with very nice decor, but we chose to sit outside since the weather was so pleasant. Our server visited the table within minutes & was super polite. There's music playing outside with a covered patio & spacious seating. It didn't take long at all for our food to come out (pictured). The chimichangas & everything was flavorful. Other tables ordered margaritas flights & one drink even came with a sparkler. They really take pride in their presentation. There are mocktails if you need nonalcoholic options & $4 margaritas during happy hour. I'll definitely be back to try something new.

No. It was just a store selling their spice mix and t-shirts and knickknacks. It was kind of on the pricey side in my opinion. They are closed on Sundays and short business hours. They really should not list themselves as an attraction if there is nothing.
