I stumbled upon Po'Boys while checking out Yelp for places to eat. Thought it would be interesting to try a new place, that served creole cuisine here in Calgary.
We ordered their fried oysters to start. Was told there were 6 per order, a good enough reason to share an order with the Hubby. I have to be honest, when that order of fried oysters arrived I was rather disappointed. The oysters were very tiny! Not only that but it was just greasy. Mind you this order came out in a saucer plate. The container holding the sauce was bigger than the oysters itself.
My husband and I, both ordered their steak frites with lobster butter and served with duck fat fries. The entree took a little longer to come out and the owner did apologize for the wait. Reason being was that they were thick steaks and they were just making sure the steak was at the right temp. When our entrees finally arrived the steak wasn't evenly cooked. Part of our steaks was in the medium well side and the rest was medium rare. Not a huge fan of medium well cooked steak. Though I must admit that the lobster butter was a nice added touch to the steak. The duck fat fries were seasoned well and wasn't greasy.
The saving grace to this meal was the dessert. Our dessert was comped due to us waiting for quite a bit on our entrees. Even if it wasn't comped, I still would've ordered their bourbon bread pudding. The bourbon caramel was enough to lure me in! The bread pudding itself was nice and tasty! It had the right amount of moisture that it didn't make it soggy. The caramel with that hint of bourbon.... Yummy!
Overall, I think the place looks nice. Since they've only been opened for two weeks, I know that they still have a lot to improve on. I'd like to come back in a month or so, and see their progress.
Best of luck to you Po'Boys!
