    Braised Beef Debris Poboy
    Paul P.

    The Poboy here is to die for! Honestly I was a bit intimidated walking through here alone, going past a rowdy crowd of mainly older white Gen X men to end up in this hole of a wall to order through an even smaller hole in the wall service booth. The ordering experience was a bit gruff and rough around the edges, but from then on, everything went right. First, you can hang out in the bar area at Erin Rose (I swear the crowd was friendlier than they looked) and eat there if there's space. I highly recommend their Paradise Peach, which seems to be from a local brewery. The bright, peach flavor of the lager does well to wash down the sandwich in the summer heat. I went with an order of the Braised Beef Debris Poboy and this is hands down not just the best Poboy I've ever had in my life, but the best beef or steak any sandwich I've ever had in my life! I wolfed it down so quickly and have to say the pickled green bean and banana peppers with that spike of horseradish sauce really sent this Poboy soaring! The braised beef was absolutely perfect and tender, amazingly so! I can get a bit picky about beef because I hate it when it's tough or gristly or has too much fatty parts that won't melt down, but I didn't have a problem with any of that. I'm no butcher, but seemed like they used a good part of the beef of what's already a fairly quality cow (Louisiana Wagyu Beef I recall reading) or maybe it was the whole braising process, but I wish I could have this for days! I'm going to be sad going back to Houston and not being able to eat this, but hopefully it'll still be around and just as amazing next time I'm back in town.

    I was researching Erin Rose and every review mentioned the Killer Poboys in the back, so I was intrigued. I'm not an authority on poboys, but I've been told this is not really a traditional poboy and that it's more of a cross between poboy and bahn mi, with all the pickled vegetables. I know I love bahn mi, so I was sold. It's tucked away at the back of the bar, which is already pretty small. But the service was so friendly. I placed my order and then went to the front of the house to grab a frozen Irish coffee. There's one six people ish table and some small bar space in the Killer Poboys area, so I sat by the bar solo until my sandwich came out. I got the grilled shrimp poboy-- it reminded me a lot of the grilled shrimp sandwich from Num Pang, which is an NYC institution I miss dearly. But the bread is much softer and plentiful. The mayo and the overflowing pickled carrots makes it a messy experience. For Gulf shrimp, the fishy taste was almost nonexistent, a testament to the good seasoning and grilling. I wish we would all be so lucky to have late night bar eats like this.

    PHENOMENAL! Shrimp & pork belly were to die for. Also loved the carrot mixture on the poboy. We were all really impressed with the sandwiches here. Definitely will be back on the next trip.

    For a different twist on poboys, check this place out. They have a variety of nontraditional offerings, even a couple of vegetarian, which is tough to find in New Orleans. They also have different and interesting sides, like potato salad, and greens. It's a refreshing change from the standard poboy and fries, as much as I love those. I ordered the pork belly sandwich. For my taste it was a little too sweet, which I should've known from the description of the glaze. Even so, it was very tasty and a few drops of hot sauce helped a lot. I love the bread, which seemed different from the standard French loaf you get elsewhere. This roll is more like Bahn mi bread, with a nice crisp crust and a lighter airy interior. I really liked the greens, a nice touch of semi healthy, after all the super rich fried food I've been eating. The seasoning was nice and complicated. Again it was a little sweet for my taste, but again hot sauce helped a lot. This restaurant feels like some individual or group just had some good ideas and opened up a shop to do something a little different based in New Orleans cuisine. It's a great addition to the French Quarter. And the bathroom is really cool. But be gentle with the handle on the toilet.

    A place that redefines the po'boy in the best possible way!! Such an incredible find in this little hole-in-the-wall spot. Note that their sandwiches are not the typical traditional poboys one may think of. The shrimp were cooked/seared perfectly--well-seasoned while still keeping that natural sweetness of fresh shrimp. The pickled veggies added great balance and even gave the sandwich a little bánh mì-like vibe! $14 for the sandwich. The setup inside is simple, nothing fancy, but that's exactly what makes it special. They offer a wide variety of offerings, including both meat and vegetarian options. Our server was warm and genuinely so kind! They didn't even give up an option to pay tips even though we were dining in. When we mentioned splitting a sandwich, he quietly brought over an additional tray without us even asking. Recently recommended by the Michelin Guide, and it absolutely makes sense. AND, we love that even with the recognition, it still stays true to what it is: a simple, authentic spot that puts every cent into the food!!

    Cauliflower Po' boy
    Martina C.

    Once again Killer Po' boys KILLED it. My first meal in NOLA because I had this the last time I was there. Y'all. This po'boy is GOOD. So I'm VEGAN and always find some great food when I travel. It's EASY if you look. I found KPB back in 2022 and Y'ALL they still got it going on. To me you can make just about anything taste delicious if you know how to cook and properly season food. Well guess what they do. I'm sure ALL the po'boys are amazing but I can attest to the flavor of both the cauliflower, from this visit, and the sweet potato from my first visit. I love the flavors, the crispy bread and the hearty meal, packed with delicious veggies that it is!!! I ordered to go so I can't 100% attest to service, but when I picked up my order they were very friendly. Ambiance isn't much but it's not dirty and the food is great. I'm not there doe ambiance I want GOOD FOOD. And trust me, you won't be disappointed!!!

    Ordered the Beef Debris Poboy. Man, that horseradish had me sweating like crazy! Got a side salad which was surprisingly big compared to other restaurants and given it was $4. Was delicious and will try out the other sandwiches next time we visit NO. Atmosphere was nothing fancy; fast-casual restaurant. You come here for a tasty sandwich though.

    The food was absolutely amazing. We got the beef debris and the jerk chicken. It was sooo good. The restaurant was empty surprisingly and the service was really fast. The food was absolutely delicious and definitely worth going. 10/10 would go again.

    Walking through the quarter looking for a good quick spot. Poboys on the brain. Stumbled on Killer Poboys located on Dauphine Street. Almost missed it. It's a little hole in the wall type of place. They have two locations. This is a small restaurant with a few tables inside. They do poboys with a bit of a twist. The gal at the counter was friendly and the food came out quick. We ordered two different poboys and shared. We tried the Pork belly poboy. The Pork belly poboy is pork belly in a Smoky brown sugar bbq sauce. It was so very good. The sauce was darn good and fit the pork belly perfectly. The shrimp poboy was nicely seasoned It has a spicy slaw of sorts with carrots that is to die for. Mind you when I say spicy I mean flavor filled not hot. From first bite to last so, So satisfying! The Bread is great! Holds up to toppings nicely. Not hard just a great package to hold the goodness inside. This place has vegetarian poboy options. Salads. And a twist. Casual, fast friendly service. I wish I lived close by. I think I'd be dropping in quite often.

    From what I remember this was a solid sandwich, served at the exact right moment. I can be a prisoner of the moment and Killer Poboys turned a rough moment into a great and tasty memory! I drank too much, too fast, too early! It was crazy hot and I was loosing my bearings and about to loose the contents of my stomach. Luckily, I found my way here and had a wonderfully delicious roast beef po'boy at exactly the right time. I will definitely return to try more of the menu and show my gratitude for saving my night!!

    This is the Killer Poboys location inside Erin Rose. Although the menu is slimmer than their full menu at their regular location, they have several fabulous options and you really can't beat pairing one of their po boys with the famous frozen Irish coffee at Erin Rose. We shared the braised beef debris po boy and the seared shrimp po boy and they were both excellent. Each one was truly unique, had fantastic toppings that perfectly complemented each one. Juicy, crunchy, sour, spicy, and of course the perfect squishy bread. Take me back! I want another...

    Tasty Po Boy in the French quarter , we got the shrimp po boys. Sort of had a ban mi flavor to them. Bread was very lite, the carrot slaw was a little drippy. Get extra napkins PS it's in the back of the Erin Rose bar.

    Alex R.

    * A lot of locals recommended this place to myself and my friends, so it's pretty popular * The Poboys are interesting with a Vietnamese influence. Overall, didn't compare to bahn mis or Vietnamese food coming from the Bay Area so I was a bit disappointed. I had wish I tried the sweet potato option instead of the tofu! My friend tried the shrimp one and the consensus was the same. * Service was fairly quick and it's on a busy street which is fun considering you don't have to go too far to explore * I'm glad I tried the restaurant but likely wouldn't crave or come back unfortunately.

The cheesesteak is super tasty, great bread steak sliced thin and cooked just right and American cheese to make melty. The hot muffuletta is one of the best in town. Plenty of meat and olive spread and the toasted muffuletta bread is so good. Service? What service you order at the cashier, not in the back, you pay your money, stay out of the way and wait for your number to get called. It's that simple. Don't wander around in the back looking at the deli counter confused, the place is too small and they don't take your order there. Don't try it, don't think about it, don't even look back there. The cashier is up front thats where you wanna be. When they call your number take your bag and leave. Walk away from the front door then shove it in your face. It's so good. Even if for some reason you didn't like the food that's ok, you got a real NOLA experience so know matter what you're a winner.

I pulled up on a Sunday and since I called it in just under an hour before closing, I decided to get it to go. I ordered it about twenty minutes out and when I arrived, it was ready. The takeout process was in itself unique. I pulled up to what they called a "yellow tollbooth) to pay. He called on his radio that I paid and I pulled up to a covered door and they handed off my food. The overall ambiance from outside looked cool enough. Next time, I will eat it there, but I just did not want to be inconsiderate to everyone getting out on time. I found a local park and tore into my food. I went with the large surf and turf po' boy (roast beef and shrimp) and found it very good. For the price point, out the door with taxes, it was just over twenty dollars.
