Old Tyme for a more traditional po-boy.
Pop's if you want something like a bang bang shrimp po-boy. (Although they probably make a stellar old school po-boy, I always get something more exotic like the crawfish boil sausage po-boy)

Old Tyme will be traditional. Pops has the Delcambre Dandy which has lemon aioli and arugula. It’s delicious.

I just can’t bring myself to like old time shrimp poboys. They just taste off to me. I admit that I am probably alone in this opinion.

I had one from there 2 weeks ago (Robley location). It was terrible. Normally they are solid, but this one was way too battered and no seasoning on the shrimp. I ordered a half and didn't eat half of that.

Cancel the shrimp and get the Special at Chris' Poboy on Pinhook. It will melt in your mouth

I'm partial to Pop's, but I don't typically get a standard fried shrimp po-boy.

Their Jala-back is really good:

I'm in this crowd as well. I think it's the bread. It's not the traditional NO (Leidenheimer) French bread.
