I fear I will be thinking about this meal for the rest of life. I love catfish BUT I'm also very picky about it. The best catfish I'd ever had was at Paula Dean's in Tennessee -- that is until I had this catfish. OMGGGG! Unreal. I love these hole-in-the-wall places like this that just make the best food. You'd never assume this would be the best meal I had all trip by looking at the pictures, but it certainly was. Fairly priced. Friendly staff. Super clean. 10/10 experience! My only complaint if I HAD to say something: I wish they had a house-made tartar sauce. The little packet they give you was lackluster. But otherwise incredible meal!!!! read more

Every time I come in here for lunch, the line at the counter is long and there's a good chance there won't be many empty tables. But the counter service is quick and you won't have to wait long. The full-size po-boys are massive. If you get a Ferty (roast beef, ham, Swiss cheese), bring a construction crew to help you eat it, or be prepared to be eating leftovers for two or three days. I love a good shrimp po-boy, but it's usually too big for me. I have landed on the Shrimp on a bun as a fantastic alternative. It's so overstuffed with shrimp you can't eat it without them falling out. And it is perfectly dressed with just the right amount of lettuce, tomato, pickles, and mayonnaise. And the fries! Y'all, the fries are so crispy and delicious, and they also come in a massive amount. Too many for one sitting. This is a place I regularly stop at for lunch when I am in this area. read more

Forgot to take photos of the food but my family of four all had delicious sandwiches. When we came here we found this place purely off of Yelp as we're coming back from a plantation tour outside of New Orleans and everyone had a fantastic meal. The Po-Boys and other sandwiches were great. There was a steady line of locals coming in and out so we knew that we got to the right place. If I was back in the area again would definitely go back. read more

We went for lunch today at Mabile's. My lunch was delicious. When you go in you order first. They give you a ticket with your number. When they call your number you go pick it up at the counter. If you order a drink you can choose a fountain drink or what's in there cooler. My husband had a burger and fries. They give you a nice portion of fries. We ate there. Everything was nice and clean. Monday-Friday each day they have a lunch special. Thursday lunch special is what I had. Hamburger steak with gravy, mashed potatoes, peas and French bread. They serve you a nice plate. They sell Hubig's pies so we had to buy each one for dessert. Can't wait to go be back!!! read more

Mabile's Restaurant - Hamburger Steak w/gravy, mashed potatoes w/gravy, peas and French bread. - Salad Near Me - LaPlace, Louisiana

For starters I'll give congrats to any business been in service since the 80s and still going strong. The moment I walked in you can see the customers were definitely regulars and the spot was a meeting ground for people to share a meal with. A lot of friendly talk and smiles so the atmosphere was family friendly. The staff were EXTREMELY nice and smiled with every word, that means a lot especially during the lunch hour. I ordered the seafood combo plate. I must say the portions are INSANE!!!! The food came out fresh and fried to perfection! However, the food lacked soooo much flavor. The fish and shrimp couldn't be told apart if u broke apart catfish in chunks and chose blindly there's no difference in the taste. I'm sure the seasoning is in the batter but we're almost in the Mecca of Louisiana there has to be more spice than what was on my order. Just a little more love on the seasoning and it'll be a hit!! Happy Yelping read more

I love the service it is nonsense. And fast don't walk up the counter talking on your phone they send to back of the line. The restaurant is super clean read more

This is a decent no-frills establishment for good food at a reasonable price. All the food is good, especially the roast beef po'boy. It's possibly the best I've ever had. The restaurant was clean and orderly. The sandwich was a good portion for a great price, especially for the portion size. The service was excellent. This is my stop from now on! read more

Stopped in while in the area this week. It was a Monday so I ordered the daily Monday special (red beans and rice of course). The red beans were lacking in flavor. Was not impressed. My sister had a shrimp poboy and it was much better than my red beans (I always eat my sister's leftovers). They use Leidenheimer bread for their poboys which is great bread! Service was pretty fast and the place is your typical mom and pop type restaurant. Those are actually my favorite types of restaurants. Love laid back no-frills local restaurants. Menu consists of mainly poboys but they also have salads, seafood plates, daily lunch specials, and they also make muffalettas. I will be back when in the area to try the muffaletta or another poboy. read more

Mabile's Restaurant - Usual Monday meal - Salad Near Me - LaPlace, Louisiana

Alright y'all, i think I've found the best poboy in Louisiana at this little gem of a place in Laplace! Last Friday, i landed in New Orleans around lunchtime. If you've ever been to Louisiana during lent you know that any place serving fish is going to be steady packed. I'd done some research and decided this was the spot I was stopping at. Sure enough upon walking in there was a good number of folks in line and waiting for their order. I knew this was a good sign that I'd picked well. I ordered my poboy and found a place to wait. About 20 minutes later, it was ready and let him tell you that this shrimp and fish poboy was well worth the wait! Seasoned to perfection and served on bread that was the perfect combination of crispy and soft chewy. I'll definitely be back and trying something else on the menu! read more

Small local mom and mom restaurant. Clean, quaint, and great fried seafood platters and/or poboys. I ordered a catfish platter and a catfish poboy for my daughter. The food was hot and fresh when received as I had called the order In previously. The cashier was nice and the signage was nicely displayed. She went over the new credit card policy with me and walked me through the process. While we didn't dine in, and had the food to go, I certainly would. The cashier also answered the phone promptly, was easy to understand, and didn't place me on hold for a long time like I've experienced at other places. It's my local "go to" when I want fried seafood. Sorry I don't have photos but we ate the food too fast . They give you quite a bit though. I usually have leftovers for the next day. read more

Nice little find on The Airline in Laplace. I've passed this place mannnnny mannnnyyy times before & shamefully this was only my 2nd time visiting. Here for a quickie lunch with my friend & mentor, CynthiaYvonne; I opted for the fried shrimp po-boy. The bread was that crunchy, make a mess in your lap French bread, I'll have to remember that for when Granny returns; and I had a soda & a few fries. Ms Cynthia had a roast beef au jus, fries & a soda; ohhhhh and FYI, the fries are enough to share, because after all "sharing is caring...". I got the 7.5 inch po-boy and only ate half, I shouldn't have eaten those chips prior to lunch. Shucks!!!! Anywhoooo... Entering the establishment, it feels really "homey", truly like a mom & pop restaurant and now that I'm thinking of it, I think it is. Folks inside look super comfortable and not necessarily awaiting food, for sure I saw two ladies just chillaxin & I was like, he way not? We dined and chilled a bit as well, then left. I found pricing to be fair. Portion sizes were average & the service was prompt. I'll have to make my way back for the Daily Lunch special, as today they were sold out of the BEANS & RICE. read more

The food is great plus the plate special was sold out so it must have been tremendous. The onion rings were the best I'd had in a long time. Service was quick but you order at the counter. Eating area is sort of cafe style and they seem to do a lot of to go orders as well. read more

The people are friendly, the food is always outstanding, no matter what you order, and when you're done you just want more. The place is always clean and it's very relaxing to eat inside. read more

Got a roast beef poboy, it was good. Onion rings were great. Service was fast and would eat again

I go straight for the Fried Shrimp Poboy when I visit a place like this to see how they compare to my idea of the perfect poboy. The service was very fast and orderly, and the staff was super friendly. Order and pay at the counter, find a table, wait for your number to be called. The place is made to feed plenty of folks and not decorated to attract, but it's very clean and efficient. read more

Was in town on business and before leaving my dad recommended to grab something to eat here. So I called and ordered up a shrimp po boy fully dressed. It was great packed with shrimp. Will be back again and try something new. read more

Definitely a town favorite is you're in the area. I was recommended to try Mabile's and I'm sure glad I did. This popular lunch spot has so many great options to choose from, that day I had their shrimp salad. The meal did not disappoint at all, you don't leave hungry! Very quick service from the time you order to the time you receive your meal! read more

Shrimp have that fresh out the water taste. I like seasoning. This Poyboy taste like the shrimp was caught and put on bread.

Super simple and super clean. I asked for a recommendation for either a shrimp or Ferty sandwich. They made a half and half for me. The shrimp was not smothered in batter, just the right amount. And the Ferty side was delicious. A couple of bites had a bit of each and were magic. Great staff, nice dining room. read more

Great local restaurant. I finally did the smart thing and called ahead for a plate lunch. I did not regret it. I had the Friday plate special (shrimp stew) which comes with potato salad and corn. Everything was absolutely delicious. The portion size was large enough to not eat it in one sitting. That's a okay with me because I'm looking forward to supper to eat the other half . If ever passing through Laplace, stop in. It's so worth it. Tip: If you're leaning toward trying a plate lunch, call ahead of the lunch rush. read more

Tasty food at great prices! We stumbled upon this spot on our way to NOLA & we were so happy we found Mabile's! Fast and friendly service. The line was out the door and did not stop with customers during our experience, just WOW. This spot is clearly a town gem and we hope to return for another delicious po boy soon! Thank you for a great experience! read more

Just a solid, consistent poboy place. The roast beef poboy is my favorite and it's fantastic! I've been going here for two decades now and Mabile's hasn't changed a bit overtime. There's no special ambiance or amazing dining room, but it's a great lunch spot or a good place to grab food to go! read more
