    This place gets very busy around lunchtime, so time your visit to avoid the peak hours. We got the seared shrimp and it was simply amazing! For someone who isn't usually a big fan of shrimps, the flavor was spot on. We then processed to order the beef debris, but it felt more like a Philly cheesesteak; as a wet sandwich, the juice soaked through the bread. It wasn't our favorite but it is an option for someone that enjoys a wet sandwich. After trying another PoBoy elsewhere, the seared shrimp is the one I would come back to!

    The beef debris with those pickled beans is one of the best poboys I've had and I looked forward to crushing it again. It was better than I remembered. My wife loved her shrimp bahn mi type poboy. We rounded out an excellent lunch with collards, slaw and local brews. Staff was on it taking care of us too.

    Def one of my fave things I've eaten in New Orleans so far. Had the pork belly and beef debris. Both were super juicy and flavorful. My preference has to be the beef debris for sure- we may go back again because it was so good. Def a quick and easy lunch that isn't crazy expensive and is delish.

    I thought the sandwiches here were pretty tasty. All had tons of flavor and very delicious! Initially, I thought there was a fried shrimp po boy, but it was grilled. My favorite was the grilled shrimp with pickled carrots and daikons. It reminded me of a Vietnamese banh mi. The beef with green beans sounded interesting, but it wasn't too bad. The service was quick. You order at the counter and once your food is ready, they'll bring it to you. I thoroughly enjoyed my quick meal here.

    I took an Uber to get my dinner here after arriving in NOLA. I couldn't WAIT to eat and man did this hit the spot!! I had Killer Po Boys my first time in NOLA and it was my top pick for a meal when I arrived!! I ate, I showered, I napped and this made me feel SO much better because man was it delicious!!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's not much Ambiance, it's a small sandwich shop but there is flavor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] And that's what you need!!! They have BOTH Vegan and regular Po' Boys so I HIGHLY RECOMMEND them. The staff is always really friendly too!! YUM.

    Super juicy and flavorful poboy! Got the seared shrimp and it tastes just like a great banh mi but with super plump shrimp. The freshness is obvious. Staff are very friendly too :)

    Left half is seared shrimp. Right half is beef debris.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a somewhat small spot with several tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You order at the counter, and someone brings your food to the table. We came for a pretty late lunch around 2:30 and got the seared shrimp and beef debris sandwiches to share. The shrimp was seasoned well and the pickled veggies balanced out the saltiness nicely. The beef was very tender and reminiscent of what you would find in a stew. It was good, but I personally preferred the more layered flavors of the shrimp. The one thing is there was too much liquid from the veggies and meat, and it made the bread instantly soggy.

    Food Loved that there were three vegan options to choose from, we got the tofu and the cauliflower. The tofu was good and we liked how flavorful the Thai bbq sauce was and the bread was nice and warm. The cauliflower was perfectly matched, only wish it had more romesco sauce on it and that the cauliflower was a tad bit warmer. The hot sauce on the table was a nice touch. Service Order at the counter and they would bring your food out to you. There are napkins and utensils against the wall for you to grab so it is largely self-service and no frills. Ambiance: [[HIGHLIGHT]]Order at the counter and grab a table. Nothing too crazy and no line at all in the middle of the day on a Wednesday. I could see this place being busy, but it was not bad at all.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Black beer braised beef debris poboy!  Delicious.
    Steve H.

    Needed a quick bite. Quick it was. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cozy, no frills place. I like that[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Small menu. I also like that. Ordered. Paid. Grabbed my Coke. Sat down. About a minute later my poboy was on my table. I got the black beer braised beef debris. Great flavor! Add some hot sauce and I was happy. Easy. No frills. Friendly people. Great sandwich.

    Admittingly, it isn't easy to find a veggie po' boy. It is, after all, a sandwich with a meat or seafood filling. This place, however, flips the script on our stereotypical definitions of po' boys as we can find vegetarian alternatives on the signature New Orleans French bread roll. That made me feel like I got a bit of the experience. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The setup is fairly simple as you can either eat in or take it to go. Maybe about 20 people can sit inside. Nothing extravagant except for the diversity of options for vegetarians.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My eyes were set on the Thai BBQ Tofu po' boy. This actually reminded me of the Vietnamese sandwiches I can get from NYC. Specifically at Num Pang. The tofu was excellent and the po' boy was nice and soft, but not doughy. Loved every bite I ate! Would definitely recommend it to others!

    We saw the Michelin sign outside the window and were excited to give it a try. We ordered the seared shrimp and glazed pork belly po boys. They were good, but nothing particularly extraordinary.

    I stopped into Killer Poboys while staying nearby for business. I searched Yelp and found Killer Poboys. I visited and glad I did. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior of the restaurant is small but clean and adequate if you want to dine in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I found the overhead menu easy to navigate. However there is a discrepancy with some Poboys and whole grain bread options which are listed on the website but not the menu. I ordered the collared greens and Thai BBQ tofu. Both were good. Great flavors, but the bread was just ok. I would have preferred whole grain bread but I digress. The service was good though. I'd visit again as they have some tasty looking plant based options.

Rich, layered, and well-balanced with fresh elements that worked together on the plate. For entrées, we had a variety of cuts, including the Australian Wagyu, ribeye, butcher's cut, and lamb chops. The Wagyu stood out immediately. High quality, great sear, and finished tableside, which added to the overall experience without taking away from the food itself. Each steak was cooked precisely to temperature and full of flavor. The lamb chops paired with carrots and brussels were well executed and balanced. The sides complemented the meal well and did not feel like afterthoughts. You can also see their in-house dry aging setup, which speaks to the level of detail they put into their steak program. It shows in the final product. The drinks were solid across the board. The Old Fashioned and bourbon selections paired well with the meal and matched the food's quality. Service by Noelle was attentive and responsive throughout the night. Everything flowed well, and we were taken care of without feeling rushed or hovered over. This is not a casual dinner spot, but for a celebration or a night where you want a full experience, Doris Metropolitan absolutely delivers.

Female bartender stared right at us no greeting and kept pacing along. Eventually the guy came up asking about drinks and we were undecided of a couple wines. He called for the solmnier who was very polite and knowledgeable, in fact i wish he was our server. The beef carpaccio was fantastic. Our lady bartender continued to text and play on her phone our entire stay and not acknowledging anyone at the bar all evening, even if shes a well bartender why play on tour phone all night when the business is filling and work to do? The ribeye mid rare was completely beyond charred and way past pittsburg which I didnt request at all! It was maybe a half inch thick at best. The bone marrow was at best a quarter filled. I refused to even accept it and when the bartender returned the streak the lady grill cook/chef mean mugged us multiple times during the re-cook. The 2nd attempt was uncharred and well over an inch thick and more of a ribeye expected for a venue such as this and the marrow was full. The banana's foster finished well and was presented perfect. **Probably wont return as we get superior service and quality with places like Dickie Brennan's and Chophouse.**

Though pop-up showers were still lingering, my husband and I decided to take a gamble on courtyard dining--and I am so glad we did! Sheltered under the green umbrellas surrounded by historic brick walls, lush greenery, and rain-kissed citrus trees, the atmosphere was incredibly romantic and peaceful. The courtyard's intimate layout even brought a bit of extra magic to our evening. We sat near another wonderful couple (and their adorable daughter) and became fast friends, sharing laughs and conversation throughout the night. What truly anchored the experience, though, was the incredible service. The staff was remarkably personable, helpful, and welcoming. The dinner itself was excellent from start to finish, showcasing immense culinary skill across every dish. We started with the delicious brussels sprouts and a uniquely seasoned spring/summer gumbo that was unlike any version we've had before (oh, what I would give for the recipe). As for the entrées, the shrimp and grits were phenomenal, and the blackened catfish sandwich with a fresh salad was executed flawlessly...and the bread pudding was fantastic, too! It is rare to find an experience where top-tier hospitality, a breathtaking environment, and great food come together so (seemingly) effortlessly. Café Amélie is an absolute must-visit! We will be back.

The host was extremely welcoming and friendly. Our server and helpers were over quickly to drop off waters and greet us. I ended up ordered the salmon. With it being so early and only one or 2 other tables besides my friend and me, the food did take longer to come out than I expected it to. Both of us did thoroughly enjoy what we got. The salmon was crispy on the outside with a nice sauce over it. We thought we'd have time to get dessert so we ordered a couple but that too took a very long time. We finally waved down our server to cancel and get the check since we had to be somewhere and he apologized and said their WiFi was going in and out so it could be that it was registering on the kitchen side. That may have explained why our entrees took too long. If it wasn't for the service and the food being great - I would not be thrilled about timing. We got there around 5:30p and had to leave by 7:15p so an almost 2 hours experience that probably could have been 1 hour.
