On nicholson like a quarter mile north of campus on the left. I wouldn't get the shrimp though. When I would go there I would usually get half a cheeseburger poboy, 18 inches for like 7 bucks

the quality was plenty good enough for me


mostly because i had no money and paying so little for 2-3 meals that i didnt have to cook was pretty appealing

i pretty much agree with you, but the one time i got the shrimp it was pretty bad so i avoided it since. all the other ones i tried were legit though

Po-Boy express isn't bad if you're getting shrimp or some kind of sea food, avoid their meats though, like the Roast beef Po-boy. Good onion rings, good shrimp poboy.

Off the Hook is a very legit place for any kind of poboy, and I know that because they actually cook their own roast beef, only places I've seen in BR that do that are them and ACME.

I'm gonna stick with Po-Boy Express. I disagree that the meats aren't good. The roast beef and hamburger po-boys are above average, imo. And the shrimp and catfish are amazing.

The stores are owned by some middle Eastern guys that make great sandwiches.

Used to frequent the one on Florida a lot back when I lived out there, and the proprietor was always friendly as could be.

It's packaged roast beef... sliced... and you can see the preservatives sitting on top of the roast beef. Do you even know what that scaly looking pink stuff is?

You must think Rocco's has the best poboys in town.
