There isn't alot of seating, but my husband picked up breakfast and brought it to our hotel which was just around the corner. It is closed a couple of days mid week so check their web site first. Also one of the few reasonable priced...More

Fun fact: No where, ANYWHERE, except the front door of this place does it say they are closed Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. Made the trip all the way out because people were raving about this joint… 😖

Agree 100% with Montanapescado review. Classic but average at best. Super crowded. Tables not clean if you can even find one. Long line. Way too much bread, not enough flavor. Pricey for greasy counter style food. Wanted to love it because its iconic.

This is a very New Orleans po boy experience, so a decent stop to try the local signature sandwich. Holding back the rating is that there was too much bread in the roll and too much breading on the seafood. It just tasted like lots...More

The staff that took our order was really kind. The wait was not long. Two things that knocked the rating down to 2/5 stars. First, the air conditioner spits water, so sit far away from it. Otherwise you’ll have AC water on you and on...More

Stopped here twice for breakfast. Had a breakfast sandwich and an omelet, both were excellent. Very informal place with counter service and cash only. A little piece of the old New Orleans before restaurant chains

We tried the shrimp and oyster poboys fully dressed. We also had the jambalaya. The poboys were not as good as some of the other places we tried. The sandwiches were very doughy. Overall, it’s a decent place for poboys. Jambalaya was very good though....More

It's all in the name... We tried a vast amount of po-boys that week and none matched this restaurant. It's small and fairly cheap but the best part for me was the bread..I loved them here.

Be sure to say "fully dressed" and you get a delicious, succulent sandwich that does not have gravy but has a wonderful consistency and taste that does not need gravy.
