Based on the hype of people saying it’s better than a New Orleans Poboy, I expected a Poboy better than New Orleans. It is not.

I've never heard anyone say its the best poboy in louisiana... Its not really a poboy. fairly close to the poboy shape...thats about it.

Everyone I know that has had one loved it though. I make it a point to stop for lunch anytime im on the way to houston. Too good to pass up.

My favorite thing about them is that they AREN'T really a poboy at all. I honestly didn't even realize they called themselves Darrell's Poboys.

Don't get me wrong, I love New Orleans poboys, but they are usually quite terrible outside of there with a few exceptions. And hell, if you randomly pick a place serving poboys IN New Orleans or the immediate area, you are just as likely to get something not so good as you are otherwise.

This seems to be the one place I've been to that is doing something quite different with what it calls a "poboy" and it actually works.

Is it the best thing to eat in the state or even the top 5-10 things anyone calls a poboy? Nah, not hardly. But they are really damn tasty for what they are and I like the fact that they are unique in what they are.
