The Best Places For PoBoy In New Orleans

The po’boy was born in New Orleans in the 1920s and has been a fundamental element of Louisiana cuisine ever since. It’s been perfected by establishments all over the Crescent City over the years; we list the best places for authentic po’boys in this Louisiana city.

Johnny’s

Established in 1950, Johnny’s has everything from an outstanding breakfast menu to all of the favorite dishes of South Louisiana; however, they are famous for their po’boys, some of the best in the French Quarter. Try the roast beef po’boy with a side of jambalaya, and wash it all down with an ice-cold Abita Amber. If you are looking for a historic experience, do not miss out on a chance to dine in this time-tested restaurant.

Domilise’s Po-Boy & Bar

Killer Poboys

Located inside of the Erin Rose Bar, Killer Poboys keeps it simple with a menu consisting of five options: the roasted sweet potato, the seared gulf shrimp, the “Dark & Stormy” pork belly, the grass-fed meatloaf, and the Jameson grilled cheese. These are not the traditional po’boys and flavors usually seen in local eateries; however, the culinary twists have become hits with the local foodies.
