I've always loved Po'boys but one thing I have experienced is that every place has a different concept for Po'boys. I have never eaten one in New Orleans so I can only compare it to others I have had, however I have to say I was very impressed.
We entered what reminded me of the 60's diners back home. Booths and tables and sparse decorations set the stage for our meal. We were greeted by a friendly hostess who turned out to be the owner's granddaughter. Gave it a nice family restaurant feel in a city severely lacking in that area. We were escorted to a booth where another friendly waitress took our order. She was eager to explain the menu. We were disappointed to find out they were out of Mac n Cheese, Alligator, and oysters. I settled on a crawfish boudin sausage po'boy and a corn fritter appetizer.
The fritters were actually light and full of corn flavor. The side of a ranch like sauce was not even necessary as these fritters had just the right mix of flavor and spice.
The po'boy was really good, the sausage was in casing like a good sausage should be. I was hoping for a little more kick but it was definitely a good tasting sandwich. They don't drown their po'boys in sauce either which is a positive. The cajun chips were very good as well.
I will be back to try the mac n cheese and alligator but I was definitely impressed on this visit. The owner is from New Orleans and clearly takes pride in her work. It was just like I pictured eating at someone's home in the Big Easy would be.
Streetcar is a welcome addition to the downtown area.
