    Exceeded expectations!! First time trying po boy and loved it. Sides were all great and atmosphere fun. Huge range of drinks and the cocktails good value. Had to get a souvenir cup to take back to Oz. Pool tables, dart boards and slots, plus dress up props for those who want to shout ‘we’re tourists!’ Hope to back one day

    First time here, Went in Sunday afternoon after watching the Falcons lose,..(a friend's suggestion) lol 😆 When we walked in we we greeted by a friendly cashier, she asked us if it was here or to go, it was for dine in, they had about 2 high tops that seats 4 people, We were looking for our friend who said he was there but we did not see him. She told us that we could be seated in the "basement bar" which was right to our left. We we went downstairs and boy was I blow away! It's a very New Orleans theme dive bar!! They had plenty of seating, pool tables, arcade games, and plenty of TVs to watch football games on! And there was our friend!! Sitting patiently waiting on us! Our server greeted us ans we ordered some apps. Fried pickles, gator bites, and cheese dip. He got us waters, and I hear the hurricanes are really good there. Food came out pretty quickly and we ordered our meals. I decided on the catfish po'boy fully dressed (lettuce, tomatoes, and mayo) w a small fry for and additional fee. The others had the red beans and rice, gumbo, and I believe the crawfish platter. The gator bites were really tender and delicious, the pickles were breaded very nicely and had a tang that I like to them My po'boy was delicious!! (Fried of course) the bread wasn't too hard it had the right amount of crunch to it. I did taste the red beans and rice and gumbo (which was made from a dark roux fyi) Everything tastes delicious and had the right amount of seasonings to it. The food runner had forgotten the fries when he brought everything out, we just reminded our server ( we were also in the middle of a shift change, which explains why we didn't have anyone to check on us for a while) and they were quickly brought to our table. I also like the fact that they have handled card readers, so u can pay for your food right at the table in oppose to the server taking your card. Overall I enjoyed the atmosphere and the food. It's a hidden gem, that I never would have gone to with out the recommendation!

    This is a regular sized shrimp Po’ Boy for $20. There were 4 shrimp in each half =8 shrimp for $20. Pathetic portions for the price. I see others have complained about the price vs. the portion size, they were not lying. Pitiful sandwich for the price I paid. Very disappointing experience and this place should be ashamed of themselves for this.

    This was my first time coming to The Po Boy Shop. The customer service is good. The atmosphere is pleasant with options to eat inside or outside. However, the food was average at best. The portions are very small in comparison to the price. I ordered the chicken po boy and my sister ordered the shrimp po boy. Both sandwiches were mainly bread with very little filling. My sandwich has two pieces of chicken strips the rest was lettuce and tomato. And the same with my sisters sandwich. I spent almost $50 on the two of us for a sandwich, 1 order of small fries and 2 small drinks. We’re still hungry. After removing all the extra bread there was nothing left.

    We stopped after work for a bite. The basement area has plenty of seating and a full bar. Our servers were great. It was earlier in the evening so we got our food quickly. The small po'boys are $14 and the full size are $19. It's $2 to add on fries. The fried grouper was pretty good. I did find the bread to be a bit thick in relation to the amount of meat. I also ordered the shrimp po'boy to go. It wasn't overflowing as the menu states and my shrimp were cooked too long. The fries were good and the hurricane was on point. We also enjoyed the bread pudding although it is super sweet.

    All I can say is, WOW. I'd heard really good things and this place more than lives up to the hype. We ordered a shrimp and a crawfish poboy, the fries and gumbo. The fries are amazing (wide and flat and super thin) and covered with the perfect amount of Cajun seasoning. Gumbo was excellent and the poboys... just wow. We can't wait to go back to try all of the other poboys!

    Mishana was a perfect waitress. She recommended the drink Voodoo and honestly it’s probably the best drive I’ve had. It sneaks up on you. The vibe there is everything . The shrimp was really good also . Will be returning

    The Po'Boy Shop and Basement Bar offers a truly unique dining experience. Upon entering the main floor, you can place your order for a delicious meal. The limited seating on this level caters well to small parties. However, the real charm lies downstairs, where a dive bar concept awaits with ample seating. The friendly servers enhance the overall experience. For my main course, I opted for the shrimp po'boy meal with fries. Unable to resist temptation, I also ordered a serving of a gumbo and jambalaya, all of which were exceptionally delightful! To top off the, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to try the bourbon bread pudding- a must try sweet treat! The location is right off Clairmont in a shopping strip with other neighboring restaurants, so there's ample amount of free parking to ease the stress of street or having to park inside a deck. I'm happy to have finally tried this place!

    Only giving it four stars because for the price, I thought the po'boy would be bigger. Came here before COVID, and it seems the sandwiches were bigger(longer) before. However, tastewise, the poboys are still excellent. I got the fried shrimp poboy. The red beans & rice and the bread pudding is still stellar as well. I'll be back again eventually.

    This place is a hidden gem. Great food, great staff, super fast service. Possibly the best drink selection around. It's a adult playground. Plenty of televisions for sports fans and plenty of games for you and your friends. 5 out of 5
