“ The poboys are incredible. Prepared inhouse by the man of the couple who owns it. They are super friendly and kind. Their prices for food and regular groceries are great. Absolutely love this place! ”
“ I have been going here for 4 years from freshman year to graduation at LSU and have enjoyed it so much I have gone at least twice a week for all 4 years. Prices are not as bad as any other place around and the food is the best sandwich in Baton Rouge. Love the place, the food, the people. Could not recommend it any more. ”
“ Always friendly people and orders are always ready when I arrive I call them in. Granted I usually visit on weekends, so I cannot speak for weekday lunch rush wait times. Cannot beat a poboy, chips and drink for about 10.00. And good selection of sandwiches. Highly recommended. ”
“ Poboys are exceptional, very friendly staff and great selection of snacks. Goto for sandwich pickup on the way to the house. ”
“ They will ask you in very broken English what you want, tell them Cajun turkey with the Voodoo chips. That is all you need to know about the AM. ”
“ A little pricy from yesteryear, but enjoyed my favorite the cajun turkey breast poboy toasted with chips and soda... ”
“ Absolutely one of the best PoBoys in Baton Rouge. My parents have been bringing me here since I was young and they havent let me down once in the food or the service. Now that Im old enough I get general groceries, occasional PoBoys, and a case of beer for the guys while Im here and I have never been let down. Totally recommend going to get a PoBoy at least once here and if you like it you should try to be a regular customer. ”
“ 27 years and still slinging the best lil poboys ever ”
