★★★☆☆ 3.0 Troy Scott · Dec 2025

Normally a good experience. Yesterday was the worst. Pick up our $30 order on way home from my wife's first post op surgery visit. She was craving you guys. She got her normal roast beef on bun. Extra mayo. No mayo and meet was not seasoned. Didn't get our fries we paid for. Onion rings and chicken fries where good. But the worst. I decided to try something different from my seafood poboys. Had the cheese burger poboy. Let me say this. After almost 40 hrs in food services. That was the worst prefab Patty's I ever had. I just figured being a family own place for as many years of great food. They be homemade. That's what I get for thinking 😆 lol. Any way. We won't be back. To many other great places around to try.

The roast beef & shrimp poboys we had today were delicious....everything you expect a great poboy to be! Also loved that the staff seemed to be having fun & truly enjoying their jobs! This place has the best old school charm paired with great food & friendly service...not to mention really good prices. Not a surprise its been a community staple for decades.

Great prices and great poboy sandwiches. Very clean. Small and super busy.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Don. C. · Feb 2026

The employees were pleasant. The food, meh.We had a shrimp and a roast beef poboy. Shrimp was cold and the Roast beef was shredded and dry. The bread was wet as expected but no gravy on the meat at all. Reminds me of a bbq sandwich, not the traditional sliced roast beef with gravy. The nice lady says you have to ask to add gravy... booooo I think they are from out of town. Drink refills are an extra charge. The powdered lemonade is not worth it. Taste test your product. Try gas station poboys. Steal their recipe.

I truly iconic neighborhood po-boy shop, known for its consistency in making excellent po-boys, gumbo, potato salad and more (they do have beer even if it's not on the online menu). It does get crowded during lunch time and parking can be a little bit tough, but this Tuesday it was the perfect lunch spot to get my fill of roast beef and a Barq's root beer!
