| - Being from Louisiana, I had to try this place as soon as I heard about it. The location definitely leaves much to be desired, but the owner hinted that they may be moving to a new location.
When we walked in we were greeted by the owners. I happened to be wearing one of my LSU shirts so we connected immediately. The sweet owner gave my son a stuffed fish toy -- he instantly fell in love with her.
The waitress came and was so sweet. She asked for our drink order and offered suggestions - one of them being sweet tea. Again being from the south I haven't found one place in Las Vegas who makes their sweet tea right, but I was feeling brave so we all ordered the sweet tea. And boy am I glad I did, I drank four glasses during dinner and got one to go. STREETCAR DONT EVER CHANGE YOUR SWEET TEA!!!
We all ordered different po boys, my dad got the oyster shrimp and catfish po boy, my husband got the roast beef poboy after we confirmed that the gravy was indeed debris gravy like back home, and I ordered the po boy. All dressed. The po boys were all very good, though in hindsight I would have ordered something else besides the fried oyster one. For sides to share we also got the hush puppies, the fried okra, and the cheese fries with gravy. I was so pleased when the hush puppies came out hot with a pleasant spice level, and a lovely side of remoulade. Again the first good remoulade I've found in Las Vegas. Lola's needs to try to kidnap their remoulade recipe, because it blows theirs out of the water. The fried okra had a lovely spicy breading and the okra had perfect flavor and weren't mushy or gross. The cheese fries arrived with a cheese sauce with a side of gravy. Very good, but not sure I'll get again, since the other sides were so amazing. The Cajun cole slaw that came with our poboys was AMAZING. I'm a cole slaw snob and I LOVED mine, my two year old fell in love with the cole slaw as well. The fries are awesomely seasoned.
As stuffed as we were we got an order of the beignets... Being a Louisiana girl I know this is crazy, but the beignets rivaled cafe du mondes. I know, I know, but true. Thick, yummy, hot, big, and the perfect coating of powdered sugar. The oil may have been a but on the old side, but after my second bite I didn't get that taste at all, I was just concerned on getting that beignet into my tummy. Yum! Wish we would've tried the other desserts too but we all already were ready to be rolled out the door we were so stuffed. I definitely recommend this place. Hopefully they will get a new location soon that's a little more comfortable to get to.
A+ streetcar poboys!
