The Little Jewel of New Orleans is the closest you can get in L.A. to the Big Easy; its owner is a native Louisianan and its bread is flown in fresh from just outside the French Quarter. Read more

This gem of a New Orleans deli makes you feel like you're being transported to a sleepy, southern town. They don't skimp on their fillings in their massive 10-inch Fried Oyster Po' Boy sandwich. Read more

The po' boys nail down every element that distinguishes the sandwich as a venerated delicacy. W/pickles, tomatoes, shredded lettuce & spiced mayo, the cornmeal-crusted oyster po' boy is the real deal Read more

The shrimp and oyster po boy is good and a size able sandwich. Make sure to get a vinegar based hot sauce to go with it. You order your food at the counter on the other side of the soda cases.

Proper New Orleans sandwiches here. Shrimp, Shrimp and Oyster, fried catfish po' boys and more. Order on the left at the checkout and pick up on the right by the tables. The sandwiches are huge.

Order first then take a seat. Fabulous service and food! Fun variety of options for drinks, chips, hot sauces and other snacks available. Great environment. Po'boys are gigantic and wonderful

Check out Little Jewel of New Orleans as it was featured on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives for the New Orleans-inspired joint cooking up Big Easy po boys and legit crawfish mac and cheese Read more

Little Jewel’s po’ boys are MASSIVE (and easily the best that I’ve had in the LA area). Easily shared between two people.

Food is so good here. The point boys are delicious. Great place to stop by when you need a taste of New Orleans

Must get the soft shell crab po'boy! And the craw mac is heavenly.

The crawfish mac is one flavorful Mac and cheese dish. Good seasonings and spices within the cheese and pasta.

Big M's surf & turf Po'Boy is huge. No shortage of roast beef, shrimp nor oysters.

There is an extensive market with items from New Orleans, and also one of the largest selections of gourmet soda in the area.

GIGANTIC PORTIONS! The surf'n'turf poboy was awesome! Shrimp and beef...enough said. Thinking about it makes me want to take a plane back to LA 😅😅

Fried catfish po'boy was the bomb! Cafe au lait also surprisingly not bad.

Grab a bottle of Crystal and douse your catfish po'boy liberally. Life will never be as good as this first bite.
Jaime BravoFebruary 12, 2016
The Po'boys are HUGE, not to mention yummy. Just wish they had more NOLA style food like jambalaya and dirty rice

Breading for shrimp and oysters was a little salty for my personal taste. Large portions, will return to try other items.

BBQ Shrimp PoBoys, blacked catfish & grits, and FML the best hush puppies I've ever had!
Bret ContrerasFebruary 8, 2015
Jalapeño poppers, Creole Hot Sausage po-boy, and the best hush puppies I've ever had!

The crawfish mac & cheese is filling but I didn't get enough crawfish pieces and the Mac and cheese on its own was underwhelming.
Jonathan KramerDecember 5, 2014
The veggie French fry poboy is one of the best sandwiches I have ever eaten.
Sam WingMay 13, 2015
Their sandwiches are BIG. Split one with a friend. Or a family.

LA Eater puts their fried oyster sandwich in its Top 20 LA sandwiches.

Возможно я заказала неверный сендвич, он был с креветками.Ужасно не вкусный, пересоленный и дико острый. Внутри несколько креветок и капуста, за 15$🤣. Забегаловка, попросила вернуть деньги, вернули.
