re: Poboy Express prices WOW

Just for shits and giggles



Yes, I realize the large is 8 patties or the equivalent to 4 double cheeseburgers but that works out to $15 a piece before fries or drink, what a steal

Poboy express is as the name alludes...it's local fast food with a slight seafood flair. The one in Central occupies an old fast track building and up until tonight, for me, was a reasonable local establishment to quickly feed a family of 4 without paying sit-down restaurant prices.

Jed’s 12” cheeseburger poboy is 12.95 and can easily feed two people

Poboy Express has always been over priced

You’re laughing but they’ve always charged like $0.50 for a cup of water.

LL, these 2 guys are nuts, don't let them break down your commonsense

For example. Go get 4 meals at McDonald’s now and it will cost you around $30

What's insane is that there are people in here defending a 6 inch burger poboy with cheese and fries for $25..

I believe you LSUsmart and agree the prices are outrageous, but the small (regular) poboys at poboy express are more than 6 inches and the large ones are double that. I mean a large poboy at poboy express is really designed for 2 people. With that said, Im not trying to argue by any means.


Edit: id say its closer to 10 inches than 6 inches, but itd be fair to meet halfway. At 9 inches

Yeh the problem with poboy express is they are a local establishment that basically serves fast food style food

So they can’t match the prices, but you also aren’t getting better food really

I guess it's the first time I've been hit with pandemic aided "sticker shock" and of course it has to do with food

20+ bucks for a cheeseburger poboy is insane no matter how you slice. Which I guess is three times

That's like saying paying $25 for pizza is insane when there are 8in and 24in pizzas

It’s definitely high, but when you realize you’re getting 2 patties, it makes sense and is not shocking. No doubt, it’s a couple of dollars higher than it should be. I would never order a poboy if I knew it was $20.

Now, if I’m wrong and it’s 1 patty, then I’ll stand corrected. But a burger on a bun is $10 and a double burger is $20. So a poboy with 2 patties is the same as a double burger, regardless of the size of the bread.

I think they have 7-inch and 14-inch.
