Sarah-Elizabeth Gundlach Lambousy: Fried Shrimp po-boy was AMAZiNG!!! friends of mine swear by it...and it was awesome just like they said. Hole in the wall places are the best!!
Ben K.: 24/7 hole in the wall with delicious food. Not the biggest fan of the po'boys but the popular one is the All That Jazz. The BBQ brisket, jambalaya, dirty rice, mac & cheese were delicious.
⚜Ian: My choice for best poboys in New Orleans. My go-to is the fried catfish, but the All That Jazz is a mess of deliciousness, plus tons of other entrees and sides to choose from. Cash only, ATM in front
