but $17 for a poboy should be a crime.


Just looked at their menu and most of their poboy's are $12.95 and under for a large which is not crazy. The exceptions are oysters and shrimp which are at all time highs right now. Shrimp is at $7-8/lb for larger peeled shrimp and oysters around $9-10/lb. depending on how much meat they put on their poboys they could have $7-8 cost in them. Multiply that by 3 (restaurant norm to make cover costs and make money) and it's in line with what they should be charging. Especially considering their location and cost of rent in that area.

All fine and good. The problem with that is several of their competitors have a superior-comparable product at a lower price point. Their fixed costs are their concerns, and where I choose to eat is mine.
