Will be getting into BR late Thursday afternoon. We've got plans throughout the weekend, but Thursday night is open. I would like to treat him to some good poboys. Any suggestions?

TIA.

Drive 75 miles east.


I really don't like any of the poboy places in BR. I'd say that New Orleans Pobody on Coursey is probably the "best" but it's still not a traditional New Orleans style.

Others have suggested Po Boy Express, but it is not much of a dining experience.

Pocorello's has as good of a meatball poboy as you'll find anywhere.

Make sure you call the poboys a submarine (sub) sandwich so they know what you're talking about.

Po Boy Express is one of my favorites but yeah the dining experience is meh.

I'm a fan of Pastime but that may be more to do with location. But I love the size and taste of the shrimp.

I was kind of thinking about the Pastime, just for old times' sake.

Parrains does a few good seafood ones with a nice bar area.

The po-boys at Tony's Seafood were good when I lived there a few years ago. It's in a sketchy part of town but worth the trip.

The Dempseys on Jefferson would be your best bet. It doesn't break the bank, good food, and good atmosphere.
