Lunch was crowded but service was efficient and friendly. The secret to these great poboys is the fresh and chewy bread. Our shrimp and oyster poboys were spot on and perfect with Zapps chips. It doesn't get any better for lunch outside on a spring day.

Food is great, service is great. The bread is amazing. Best po-boy I've ever eaten! I would come back again and again.

Awesome food, great environment! You are not gonna find a fancy place but the place has a special charm! Went there because of reviews on Trip Advisor and didn't regret! Coming back for sure!

Believe the hype. The poor boy sandwiches are so tasty and fresh - from the bread to the fish freshly fried. And if they have the roast beef "debris" sandwich when you go... Get it too! Perfect witha a bag of Zapps Voodoo chips.

Fresh french bread, bountiful portion of shrimp, dressed! Big selection of my favorite chips--Zapp's. They had all the flavors including Vood-doo Gumbo. Room next to serving area had a nice friendly bar. We sat out on the patio and enjoyed the sunshine. weather.

My favorite one is their fried shrimp po boy. Shrimps are large, so that every bite is so wonderful. I can only eat half one time. On the other hand, they don't accept any credit card and debit card.

We were unable to get here for lunch so on our way out of tow, 8 am in the pouring rain we stopped. They were gracious and prepared two Po boys, one fried oyster one fried shrimp. It is a small corner grocery with a really eclectic bar attached with tables to sit and eat. Not my usual breakfast but... More
