Damn don't tell me that, just had finished off a fried shrimp po-boy and I'm saying to myself " next time I need to get the grilled shrimp po-boy".
Bread was very good, plenty of shrimp and it was very good. But the breading on the shimp seem to be a little soggy.
I'd still eat it again and again.

BR's 1st Legit Po-boy
Tommy's Fish House.
Off the Hook beats Tommy's handsdown. More, bigger and better seasoned shrimp as well as the catfish poboy.

I really like this place...it could give Tony's a run for their money...Great market and fantastic prices...best of all you have people who really know seafood...They boiled 2 doz. #1's for me and those were selected selects....very large and full....they were boiled to perfection...price? 24.00/doz....that was about $3.00 a doz less than any place in town...I have to get in there and try their poboys.

i love this place. foods great and they'll order anything you want. i had them get some clams and they were good. thinking about heading there for dinner tonight.

Went there shortly after they started selling hot food. My brother & I split a large shrimp poboy and were both pretty full--but not too full to polish off a piece of their bread pudding. I normally hate bread pudding, but there's was really tasty.

I buy their seafood weekly, have not had the sandwiches yet, but Jason and his family have a real winner.

damn, I told him about that over a month ago, guess they still haven't fixed that ... I think they need to let the shrimp sit in a basket for a couple of minutes... I think they may put them on the bread immediately (which traps the moisture and makes the breading just fall off) ...thats my only complaint with this place ...i still liked it

Dont flame away but I always hear Rocco's on radio commercials stating he is closest to New Orleans po boys. I live in New Orleans and went there...it was crap.

If he's on the radio telling you how close his poboys are to New Orleans, that in itself, might tell you something.

We have fixed a few things since you came here. The shrimp being soggy usually isn't a problem but I had one or two batches that came out a litte soggy yesterday. We do let them sit in the basket but the trick is if you let them sit too long (more than 5-10min) than they do get soggy). Especially if you put them under the light.
Eventually we will get all our kinks out.

Another thing I wanted to ask people about is on the issue of New Orleans Poboys. Everyone on here states that New Orleans Poboys are superior to Baton Rouge's version.
I'm from New Orleans also (went to high school and college in New Orleans but lived in Belle Chasse) and the only thing I notice about up here is that a lot of places use hoagie bread (instead of "real" french bread) and put less shrimp on the poboys.
Is there any other difference besides those two? I don't see any other differences. Maybe the variety of poboys.

I agree, best poboy in town. I have been a couple of time now and have never had the problem of soggy breading. I decided to count this last time I got a shrimp poboy and there were 61 shrimp! That is insane.

Cool, I may order one tonight ! If you get an order for "slightly toasted" bread, thats me 
I'm not sure what you are asking ?

Well I'm trying to ask why everyone thinks New Orleans' poboys are superior to Baton Rouge's poboys.
My guess is the bread and the amount of bread on the poboy.

Poor Boy Lloyd's downtown has a pretty solid shrimp poboy. Shrimp just fall out of it with every bite. It's almost like you have a fried shrimp platter AND a poboy. And they use french bread. GOOD STUFF.
