Peter LadaOctober 23, 2013If you go to New Orleans, you need a po' boy. We live for our sandwich shops. The Parkway is located on Bayou St. John.
Rebeca GarciaMarch 7, 2018My brother was right! The po boys are so yummy! Also try the Reuben so good
Peter ZimmermanSeptember 21, 2014While everything is good, when they have soft shell crabs, that is the best thing they make!
Eduardo CastroJanuary 31, 2016This place is great. The sandwich is good and the price is fair. Also, try their soup!
David AzarNovember 10, 2010Go there with a group and get a bunch fo Po'boys cause they are all good. Sweet potato fries are nothing special(frozen/not home made).. the bread pudding is a little dry but the sauce is AMAZING
Michael SavoieAugust 3, 2013The best time to come is anytime and everything is delicious! My favorite is the caprese poboy with chicken!
I've been too hundreds of poboy joints in NOLA. This I the best. No matter how long the line it's worth it. If you don't have a beer, locals drink Barqs.
Feed Me GoodMarch 16, 2013When the weather is good, grab a Poboy to go and walk over to Bayou St. John and have yourself a little picnic.- Melanie PowellJanuary 10, 2015My personal favorite is the shrimp poboy and sweet potato fries with a Barq's Red Cream Soda!
Ashley NorsworthyDecember 10, 2014It seems as if everyone raves about the roast beef, but the seafood poboys are where it's at!
Emilie DishonghJanuary 2, 2014Make sure you go on oyster day (Monday), its so worth it. Good bloody marys too.
Shrimp & Catfish po boys and also the fried pickles are on point
Matt MayJuly 22, 2013The surf and turf is awesome. The fried shrimp or the roast beef are equally awesome.
Josh MartinMarch 9, 2023I really hoped for a Po Boy that would blow me away. It was just OK. We got fried shrimp and a BBQ fried shrimp. Nothing that lived up to hype. Porch Swing lemonade was probably best part.
Jeremy FisherJanuary 21, 2015Shrimp po boy. Skip the line by ordering to-go from the bar on the side
EpicuriousAugust 23, 2010Po'boys are the specialty here at this revamped neighborhood joint that used to have a beef-gravy-dispensing faucet on the premises. The faucet is gone, but the po'boys are just as good as ever.
Roast beef po'boy is not comparable to any other sandwich I've ever had...
Wild Caught Gulf Shrimp & Creole BBQ Shrimp Po-Boys were good!
Lockhart SteeleNovember 9, 2024However excited you are to try the shrimp po boy, you’re not excited enough.
Sally Gentile Johnson WightkinJanuary 3, 2016I've only had the po boys but there were always delicious
The surf and turf is to die for! (Roast beef and shimps)
Brandi StewartSeptember 26, 2014Sweet potato fries with provolone cheese and gravy! Soooooo good!!!!
Brendan MJanuary 27, 2016Fried shrimp po boy, grab a hard root beer and join the locals watching the game
GourmetLiveOctober 16, 2010A length of fresh, brawny bread is loaded with beef so tender that it seems not to have been sliced but rather hand-pulled, like fine barbecued pork, into myriad slivers, nuggets, and dainty clumps.
Gloria ChinFebruary 19, 2013famous po boys. endorsed by obama. try the roast beef and also surf & turf
You cannot find po-boys like this outside of New Orleans. Cherish every last bite and be merry!
