“ Good old establishment. Cash only. Friendly and patient service for tourists. Servings are on the large side. Flavorful food. Wish there was more of the story visible to read since this is an older establishment. There are more tables in the back as well! Be sure to walk to the back of the restaurant as most people did not. ”
Nicole White“ This little hole-in-the-wall was recommended to me by another, pricier restaurant. Johnny's was packed and the food was ready quickly and everyone was super friendly despite being very busy. Remember to bring cash - I was caught unaware and somehow missed their BIG RED sign. Crisis averted, though, as they have an ATM inside the restaurant. ”
P Squared“ We came in about 11am and walked right up to order. Shrimp po boy and a crawfish po boy. Both amazing! The crawfish took some time so they brought us out some hush puppies and fries to munch on and holy cow the hush puppies - THE BEST EVER - and the remoulade sauce is killer. Highly recommend having lunch here - po boys are big so get one and share. ”
Live with Liza“ After walking for hours, and finding Johnny po boys. My husband had the catfish poboy an I the gumbo, rice n beans. Yum!! Small place... not many tables. But quick turn around. Wait few minutes. Someone done. Next ”
Lila Kate Butkus“ This place stayed busy and had a line out the door the ENTIRE time we were there. I had the fried green tomatoes and shrimp po boy. Was pretty good. But surprisingly the turkey club po boy tasted even better. Talk about shocked. Have been waiting YEARS to eat a po boy bc I wanted an authentic one and this place didn't disappoint. We also tried the gumbo and jambalaya. They were ok. Nothing to really rave about. Will definitely be back!!! ”
T Tucci“ This was the best Po Boy I had in new orleans. A real legit place with no frills, but the full tables tells you they spend their time making the best quality po boys. I had the classic catfish, it was massive but still somehow light and not heavy- how? ”
Lev Starikov“ Felt like stepping back in time! We got served by the loveliest woman, and got the Blackened Chicken Po-Boy and the Cajun Combo which was Gumbo, Jumbalaya and Red Beans and Rice. Everything was amazing, and they had local craft beer in the fridge. A proper institution, definitely worth a visit! ”
Jason Leader“ Really good Po Boys. Gumbo was full of flavor. Rice and beans were ok. Shrimp po boy was on point. Had bread pudding that was a great way to end the meal. We had one po boy that was shrimp and oysters and one all shrimp. Very difficult to tell which is which and we each got the wrong one, could label somehow. Lady that took our order was friendly. ”
