Koz's - House Salad with Fried Chicken - Sandwiches Near Me - Harahan, Louisiana

We worked up an appetite shopping at the outlet stores and I remembered eating there years ago. Even though it was lunch on a Saturday, we were able to get a table. I ordered a 4 inch roast beef dressed on French bread and snacked on some of the side of fries we ordered. The French bread was crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The roast beef was cooked well and the gravy was delicious. It was a solid poboy! read more

We stopped in for lunch on a Thursday. Right away the owner embraced as family! This down home place is just what you would expect from Louisiana. We ordered shrimp with sides the most amazing gumbo and bread pudding, a kid's Red beans and sausage with sweet cornbread that rocked!, and a huge shrimp po-boy. The food was over the moon good and everyone was so friendly. Most of the folks there were regulars and we made friends so easily. We will be back. read more

Great local spot , good southern Cajun cooking, everything went well for me, was quick and very tasty

This is a small mom and pop joint in Harahan. It has that traditional old school seafood/deli spot feel. I come here for lunch here and there. Everything I've had here has been good. Never had a problem here. I call ahead so service for me is always quick. read more

I ordered a regular roast beef, thinking 1/2 for lunch, other half for dinner. I'm pretty sure I was served a small. No way that was 14 inches! Roast beef was very chewy. Disappointed. read more

Alton place to eat. The food is good. Just gotta get there early enough at lunchtime to get you a table.

Absolutely delicious shrimp poboy!! Fresh ingredients and served hot. Would definitely recommend!! We also got to meet the neighborhood priest Father Roux which made our visit even better!! read more

The Chamber of Horrors is my absolute favorite sandwich ever! It's just a cold sandwich stacked with sliced meats and cheese and lettuce, tomato, etc. but it strikes a chord with me. Every time I go I tell myself to try something different but most times I wind up getting one. And a side of fries. I have tried other things and have never found anything to complain about. Koz's is a great example of the neighborhood restaurants that are scattered throughout New Orleans and the area. Place has been there forever. The family is running the business. He has passed away, but Koz himself was running the cash register every time I went there. Same crowd of regulars and locals is in there every day. A wide variety of menu items, daily specials, plate lunches, po-boys, fried seafood, and all that. Not all of it is good, but for the most part it is. Downsides - the place is old so it is a little dark and dingy. It gets crowded at times and then the service gets slow. The parking is scarce around but you can usually find a spot. Give them a shot. This is one place that I keep going back to. (If I want a Chamber of Horrors I do!) read more

It's a very homey-type mom & pop place. Mr. Koz himself was at the register checking people out. Very friendly guy. It was busy for a Friday evening but the wait wasn't long for hot food. The food was an 8.5/10 minus the sweet cabbage. I didn't really eat that. The ettoufee was standard & good. Rice was nicely cooked & grilled catfish was a hit. The shrimp poboy with the seasoned fries was a solid 9/10. Very enjoyable! Very nice experience read more

Koz's has become my favorite quick lunch spot when I'm over on that side of the city. Their service is always wonderful and I've never had anything there that didn't exceed my expectations. Big fan of their cobblers and onion rings read more

There's a reason Koz's has been around for years. A quaint neighborhood treasure. Good food & service. Daily specials. Affordable.

Great neighborhood place. So clean. Great service. Fair prices. I need 85 more characters so I am just writing to give this spaces 85 more characters. read more

The service and the food are always great. Recommend them very highly if you're looking for great comfort food go by and see Koz.

Great roast beef on French, toasted bread, dressed well and plenty of roast beef! Nice people!

This is a WORTHWHILE destination. Hubby was craving fried shrimp ( 2 days after Thanksgiving - go figure). We were in Elmwood so we made a beeline for Koz's. I got the poboy, he got the plate. We got a side of onion rings. OMG. Crazy good. Thin ribbons of fried onion goodness. The poboy was perfection and DH was more than happy with his choice. This place is so reminiscent of the family jernts we grew up going to. So incredibly glad its real and not just a memory like so many of the others. Do yourself a favor, just go. You're welcome. read more

Delicious food! The muffuletta was perfect! The meatballs were big and tasty! The ladies were friendly and the restaurant has diner/deli feel that works! Will definitely be back! read more

The lunch specials are very good value for the price. The prices are extremely reasonable, in my opinion. Service is good and my only complaint is that they are super busy and could use a LOT more seating. When we work in the area, my whole crew usually eat at Koz's. It's a pretty basic set up. read more

Food is always good. Service is usually quick and they care about their customers. Seems like they have a lot of regulars stop by. Very local feel in the restaurant. Definitely will be back! read more

Not great. Very dry roast beef. Hardly any toppings even though I asked for dressed. Lots of room for improvement. read more

This place looks a little off the beaten path. Parking was fine. The street was lined with cars when we went in and absolutely empty when we left (20-30 minutes inside), so definitely a poppin' place for lunch for locals, I assume. I got the fish poboy with no mayo so the bread was a bit dry, but the fish was moist and smooth and delicious and cooked to perfection! Combine that with the average shredded lettuce and tomato slice and we've got a pretty good sandwich! Gumbo was also good. Wasn't a fan of the hard greasy slice of toast it came with though. The ambiance is causal. Seems like everyone knows everyone. The bathroom was a little danky but it served its purpose. There's a corner sectioned off with signs saying you're not allowed in unless you're 18 or 21 (I forgot) ... not sure if a joke or they've got some adult games back there! Who knows!! read more

Lady behind the counter was a sweetheart. Got the shrimp poboy and it was delicious - absolutely stacked with fried shrimp.

This place is great good service and the food is awesome. I highly recommend giving it a try. The gumbo is the best I have had in a restaurant! read more

Great meatloaf special on Tuesday. Haven't gone any other days, but I'll give it a try. Waitress is a real nice lady.

Always a great meal. Have had many porous and many plate lunches. Only 2 poboys i didn't care for is their burger poboy and smoked sausage poboy. Burger poboy tastes like outsourced frozen meat. I can tell it isn't made in house. Smoked sausage poboy is skimpy. They take 1 link, cut it in half and put it on the sandwich. Thats it. Add a link, will ya? Other than thise 2, the place is great. read more

Huge fan of Koz's! It's the true definition of a hole in the wall with great food like no other. They have a fairly large menu filled with daily specials, all sorts of poboys, salads, and Cajun dishes. They have local beers and a self serve fountain drink machine. The staff is super friendly and inviting and the food quality is always consistent and top notch! Definitely the perfect place for lunch with co-workers or dinner with the family! The gumbo was rich and filled with ingredients. The shrimp Creole was absolutely loaded with huge shrimp and was a fairly large portion. Give this place a shot, it's well worth the drive! read more

Koz's is by far my favorite place to get lunch in Harrahan / Metairie. I'd recommend them to anyone that likes classic, simple New Orleans dishes - but done extremely well. And they get you your food very quickly, considering how popular they are. read more

Another of the many family seafood restaurants in the metro area. And its just not seafood. They have a great selection of poor boy sandwiches and hot plates. You walk up to the counter, study the menus on the walls, and place your order. Then find a table, and go over to the side counter to pour your own drinks before sitting down. Most of the time I order either the shrimp poor boy or the fried shrimp plate. On the most recent visit, I had the plate with sides of fries and Italian green beans, along with a piece of toasted french bread. The shrimp came out crisp from the fryer. Just as I like them. My wife caused some problems as she ordered a 1/2 shrimp and 1/2 fish poor boy without the bread, dressed on the side. The poor lady taking the order was all confused. Why was she ordering a poor boy without the bread? (She didn't want the the carbs from the bread and wasn't hungry enough for a full plate.) Anyway, we finally convinced her that we knew what we were doing. My wife was real happy with the catfish as it was crisp and light. And nibbled on my sides. Nothing fancy or pretentious about this place, just good food at fair prices. What else can you ask for from a neighborhood restaurant? read more

I had my hopes up for this & I'm partly disappointed. My sandwich was perfect. I ordered a Half oyster half shrimp poboy. My daughter's shrimp poboy was terrible. The bread was flat & hard, she could barely bite into it. I had to press the edges to see what she was complaining about. Totally not the same bread as my sandwich. I gave her my half of shrimp while I toast some French bread that I stored in the freezer. I hope they do better in the future because I'm not close enough to take it back for a refund or exchange. read more

I always get the grilled shrimp po-boy and it is always the best. Healthy sized shrimp and the best french bread too. My daughter always gets the muffuletta which is always delicious. The best sides of mac and cheese and think cut onion rings. Really good chili cheese fries. My favorite location of the two existing. read more

That fish is cooked perfectly! And yes... there are french fries under those huge fillets ! Exactly what i wanted to eat @ an amazing price and free wifi! Excellent place for a working dinner. I wish i would have eaten here last night. I hope and pray i get another work assignment here in Harahan but... its worth the drive from anywhere when i crave fried fish like i do sometimes! I can not even describe hope perfect it is! I can't wait to try their desserts and po'boys! I am 1 happy girl right now in fried fish heaven! read more

My favorite poboy shop in town!! Highly recommend the fried shrimp & roast beef! They also have a great chicken salad salad.

I just left there and having frequented the location on Franklin Ave I was pleasantly surprised to find the meal was very good. I had a short conversation with the owner and renewed our friendship. I plan on returning to the restaurant on my more occasions. read more

Koz's is a great place for poboys and seafood. Came here for lunch today and was tempted to get their lunch special. Had to pass b/c my friend keeps raving about the bbq ham poboy so I gave it a try. The bbq ham is mouth-watering delicious!! Will definitely get the same poboy again. Great service! Seymour's, Red Wagon, and Kim Anh you now have some serious competition for my lunch money. I love all of you but Koz's may have just risen to the top of the lunch pecking order. read more
