This Saturday, March 21, is National French Bread Day. And with that in mind, our brains immediately craved a po-boy. The po-boy is a classic and has been a staple in New Orleans food since its 1929 creation by brothers Benny and Clovis Martin. A must for anyone traveling to the city, most New Orleans kids had a po-boy before a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. For this week’s “Editor’s Picks,” we’re sharing some of our favorite spots for po-boys around the Big Easy.
Domilise's PoBoy & Bar
There is no question here. A favorite among locals, visitors, culinary professionals! Smoked sausage for us, please!
Verti Marte
They might be cash-only, but this 24/7 spot is great for a late night out in the French Quarter. Ernie’s Power House is almost too good to be true!
Guy's PoBoys
Their most popular is the shrimp po-boy, which we agree, but there are a number of options to choose from at Guy’s that match perfectly with the gravy cheese fries!
Frady's One Stop Food Store
Roast beef po-boy from Frady’s. Mouth-watering goodness. The tenderest roast beef around.
Mandina's Restaurant
Catfish po-boy from Mandina’s is a classic. I’ve been eating at Mandina’s for my entire life and besides maybe Parkway, the catfish at Mandina’s is hard to beat! Completely dressed, of course!
Parkway Bakery and Tavern
The most recognized and popular place for a po-boy. The shrimp and oyster po-boy from Parkway is a win-win when you can’t pick just one!
Parran's PoBoys & Restaurant
One of Jefferson Parish’s finest! Our orders: Veal Parran and the Meatball Parran.
