We ordered three items. Pecan butter and jelly, shirmp po boy, and pork po boy. Overall, they were mediocre . The vegetables for the shrimp bo boy were unimpressive. The pork Po boy were soggy. The pecan butter and jelly was not bad. Service was quick. Condiment and napkins were self serve. We actually walked here from our hotel that's close to the sports stadium. This place is pretty close to the main touristy area of Nola.
We tried the grilled shrimp and while the sandwich was good, it wasn't something I would say wow and that I want to go back to. I did eat these sober so that could be why. I do appreciate the Asian/Vietnamese twist with the pickled carrots/veggies. They packed the sandwich quite well for to-go orders!
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!
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.
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.
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!!! There's not much Ambiance, it's a small sandwich shop but there is flavor. 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.
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: 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.
Needed a quick bite. Quick it was. Cozy, no frills place. I like that. 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.
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 :)
It's a somewhat small spot with several tables. 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.
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. 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. 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!
Great food and service!!! Easy menu and place to stop by for a bite! Very clean and yummy!

Located in the French Quarter, it was a nice change from all of the other restaurants in the area, which all to seem to be cajun food. The banh mi was pretty tasty, but not to the point where it blew me away, when compared to other banh mi's I've eaten elsewhere. But being in NO after four nights it was definitely welcome. Small, nice relaxing place that is fast casual. Didn't have a problem finding a random table to sit down at in the early weekday evening. Still searching for a restaurant in the area that serves vegetables or fruit as a garnish or as a side.... read more

So glad to find vegetarian/vegan poboys options here! We went with Thai BBQ Tofu and Cauliflower poboy. Both were fresh, great and tasteful. I am not a fan of BBQ flavor in general but I liked it here as it was not overpowering. The tofu was soft inside but yet nicely grilled. The Cauliflower poboy didn't look appetizing but the filling is very nicely flavored. I could even taste smokiness in the cauliflower filling. And the baguette is soft inside amazing here - soft, fresh and the best I have ever had! Service was super quick. Additional star for a clean bathroom. read more

I stopped into Killer Poboys while staying nearby for business. I searched Yelp and found Killer Poboys. I visited and glad I did. The interior of the restaurant is small but clean and adequate if you want to dine in. 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. read more
I absolutely loved the poboys here!! The vibe of the place is very casual and the service is honestly fast! I really appreciated the vegetarian options, and it was so good I didn't feel like I was missing out on anything. LOVED IT!! read more

So here is the deal. This place does NOT serve your traditional poboys. However, if you want a delicious poboy with a vietnamese twist, then this place is where you need to land! We ordered 3 with the understanding that we would share it amongst us 4 and then hit the pavement soon thereafter in search of a traditional poboy to share. We ordered: seared shrimp, ham and pimiento cheese and a beef debris. Seared shrimp was deliciously seasoned and came with banh mi style veggies. The ham and cheese was very reminiscent of the mexican hot dogs we get in California. The beef debris was a chopped beef style sando. All three were delicious. Dining area is small. Service was hospitable and very patient as we decided what we wanted. read more

Delish!! There are a few locations spread around NoLa and we happened upon this one while exploring the French quarter. We did hear about Killer Poboys before we came and decided to stop in for a quick bite. The seared shrimp is the most popular and I understand why! The shrimp were cooked perfectly, the bread was perfection, topped with a delicious sauce and the pickled carrots So glad this was our first stop for food, and it set the bar pretty high. Like most places it's small with just a few tables and order from the counter. All in all, when in New Orleans a seared shrimp poboy here is a must for sure! read more

Killer Poboys, standout New Orleans-Vietnamese fusion sandwich spot. Beef Debris po boy delivered deep, rich beefy flavor with tender shreds and bold gravy. Fresh, inventive twist on the classic--recommended. read more

Came here for their shrimp po boy and like other reviewers mentioned, it's very similar to a banh mi with lots of pickled veggies. I wish there was more sauce rather than the pickle juice which made the bread a bit soggy. The shrimp was nicely fried and tasted fresh. We got in right before closing and had to order to go but were able to take it to Jackson square nearby to sit and eat. read more
Quick, convenient, filling, fairly priced & delicious! You order at the counter and within minutes you'll have a delicious Po'Boy set in front of you. I came here a couple weeks apart and had the shrimp the first time and pork belly the second time. Definitely prefer the shrimp, it's that fresh firm slightly sweet shrimp fresh off the boat the additional topping are perfect. I did try the collard greens which were okay, the poboy was definitely the best. The pork belly itself was tasty but I think the shrimp melded better with the sauce and toppings used. Slap some Louisiana hot sauce on there and you're set. There's a variety of options for sodas & beer/spritzers. It's a no frills but clean, quick spot. Worth coming back to. read more

I am not a huge meat lover so I was excited to see a variety of options on their menu! They had quick service and a reasonably priced menu. But the food itself was so good! Everyone in my group was happy with their different orders. The location itself has plenty of space to sit but is nothing too fancy! read more

Great location, staff and food. Plus they also sell Dong Phuong King Cakes in season. Their Shrimp Poboy is great. Think Banh Mi sandwich with shrimp. Nicely seasoned and a lot of shrimp. Line up by 10:30am for a king cake. Dong Phuong makes great ones. Closed Tuesdays. read more
Cute place right off canal street. Not traditional poboys so I tried something new. You order at the counter and they bring it to you. I had the Seared Gulf Shrimp poboy: with Pickled Carrots, Daikon Radish, and Cucumbers, Sriracha Aioli, and Fresh Herbs. It was good but I still prefer the traditional Poboys. They have a cooler with beers for purchase. Friendly and helpful service. read more

Stopped by Killer Poboys for lunch, and it did not disappoint. I ordered the grilled shrimp poboy, which was definitely more bahn mi than a traditional poboy, but was absolutely delicious. It came packed with pickled carrots and daikon, the shrimp were huge and perfectly seasoned, and the bread was soft and tender with just a hint of sweetness. They also have a huge vegetarian selection, which looked fantastic, even though I went for seafood this time. The shop is small and almost every table was taken, but the staff were super helpful and friendly, walking me through the menu to help me pick the right sandwich. Because it was so busy, I took my sandwich to go and found a bench in Jackson Square, which made for a perfect little picnic. The sandwich was huge and excellent value in my book. I'm so glad I picked it for my first meal in New Orleans--great service, fresh local seafood, and a fun nod to the Vietnamese influence on the city's food scene. Highly recommend. read more

Stopped by Killer PoBoys for a late lunch. These aren't traditional po'boys--they lean more toward a bánh mì style. We found the beef sandwiches to be overly salty and too soggy, while the pork belly and tofu options were more enjoyable. The bread on my sandwich was very crusty--almost too much so, as it ended up irritating the roof of my mouth. Next time, we'd likely opt for a more traditional po'boy spot. read more

These po boys have a banh mi style. Very tasty. I saw many locals in this place. You order at the counter and they bring your food to your table. They have vegetarian options! read more
3.5 Got the seared shrimp poboy! Best thing honestly was the sauce & bread! I wish they had a fried shrimp version but other than that it was good! Nothing too crazy but the flavors worked really well together! Inside there were a few tables which was nice and great service! If you'd like to try some unique poboys this is definitely the spot. read more

Very solid poboy. However, I'm not sure if this qualifies as a "poboy"--for those familiar, it's virtually identically to a banh mi, in that it's basically a French baguette sandwich with pickled carrots, cilantro, and mayo-based sauce. I do think a typical poboy has fried shrimp (rather than seared), lettuce, tomato, and pickles, so this didn't seem like the most authentic first-poboy experience That being said, I got the seared shrimp poboy and it was delicious! Shrimp was juicy, large, and plentiful, and the baguette had a crispy crust with soft interior Not one of the more well-known spots for poboys but it was definitely a great sandwich. I was dining with a vegetarian friend and it's definitely one of the best poboy spots for people with dietary restrictions read more

This Poboy is no joke! I went with the seared shrimp, although all of the options look equally delicious. I can't wait to try them all! read more
