    Steak fries!
    Lisa H.

    My husband found this location of Po-Boy Express back when he was reading utility meters. It looks kind of like a hole in the wall, but the food is fantastic! Their po-boys are served on bread that's just slightly pressed, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The shrimp po-boy is my favorite, but they've got a good variety of po-boy options if seafood isn't your thing. And it's not just po-boys. My picky teenager was quite pleased with their chicken strips and now asks to go back to Po-Boy Express. Everything I've had there has been prepared to order and tastes great. It's not terribly convenient for us since we live on the Westside, but if we're across the river in Baton Rouge for the day, we're likely to grab lunch here. Good food and good service gets five stars from me.

    As it is lent and Friday, I ordered the fish po-boy for delivery through Ubereats, the po-boy almost made me Protestant, it was the most plain catfish po-boy I have ever ate. Go else where for your catfish po-boy.

    I know this place is a chain, though I think it's only a local one (Baton Rouge and maybe a couple of surrounding towns), and I'm not the biggest fan of chains but until someone proves otherwise, Po-Boy Express has the best po-boys in B.R. The bread, although slightly pressed, is stupendous. Soft, which is how your po-boy bread (French loaf) should be. Hard, tough, chewy, too crispy.....all of those are cardinal sins and in that regard, Po-Boy Express is sinless. The second, and equally as important, part of a po-boy is the "insides".......the meat and vegetables. Well, my favorite po-boy has always been the shrimp and Po-Boy Express does this justice and much more. The shrimp are tasty enough to eat by themselves. Seriously. You could take 'em all off the sandwich, act as if you bought a shrimp platter and be completely satisfied. And they PILE dem thangs on there like it ain't nobody's business. One of the marks of an outstanding po-boy is an abundance of meat and this place excels in that department. Shrimp were BUSTING out the sides of mine. My hot sausage po-boy had a nice amount of meat as well. The lettuce.....the tomato.......everything about my po-boys made me miss home as soon as I hit the interstate to head back to FL. They were so good, I had to get another right before leaving. If someone in Baton Rouge knows of a joint that serves better po-boys, let me know. Until then, I'll have to keep singing the praises of Po-Boy Express.

    After reading reviews I had to try the shrimp po boy! I don't think there was a whole lot of seasoning or unique flavors but the shrimp was very fresh and the veggies were crisp. Bring your appetite because it's hard to finish a small order.. I couldn't. The staff was very friendly and polite. I went in when they were closing and they were cleaning the entire time, smelt very fresh (like bleach and fabuloso). Prices were average and food was tasty. Can't ask for much more.

    Worst roast beef poboy I have ever had. Gave it 2 stars because the fried seafood is fair.

    Ok, so this is a Serious Double Cheeseburger. It's the kind of cheeseburger that you pick up and…read morecan't put down for 2 reasons. The first reason is that it tastes SO GOOD! The second reason is that it's SO BIG! Hard to get your mouth around, but you can do it if you try. The staff is always great and try to be fast to get your order in and serve you even during the busiest of times with a smile on their face. Unless you know where Dearman's is located, it can be difficult to find for the first time because it's subtly located in a strip mall establishment. Once you walk in though, you'll be taken back in time to the white, black and red-themed diner atmosphere and open kitchen. Plenty of seating and parking available.

    What was once a pharmacy turned lunch spot, Dearman's has become a nostalgic fixture in Baton…read moreRouge's dining scene. They staved off an eviction nearly a decade ago and have somehow managed to stick around for a total of nearly 7 decades. Dearman's is the last legit diner in the city. The interior is a trip back in time. The spacious dining room is complete with retro furniture, checkered floors, and old school artwork that feels like something out of the 1950s. The decor screams pure Americana and is one of the biggest draws for the many patrons that come through daily. My favorite part is their juicy burgers. Pair it with their crispy fries and their old school milkshakes, and one has a complete meal. The burgers are hearty, and the portions are substantial. They also have salads, other sandwiches (tuna is my go-to), and various options for loaded fries. The other awesome part are the prices. Minus the double cheeseburger, there are no items that exceed $10 on the entire menu. The staff is young and always enthusiastic, and they play a big part in making this place such a destination. It is group / kid-friendly, and an ideal lunch spot. Orders can be placed online, but I recommend eating in for the full experience.

    I have been to Agile Brewing several times and it may be my favorite brewery in Baton Rouge. I…read moreknow it has my favorite brewery snack. The cheese curds and craklins. Whoever put these two items together is a genius! The chewy, meaty, crunchiness of the cracklins along with the gooey, saltiness of the cheese curds is the perfect combo. It's like Peanut butter and Jelly! Peas and Carrots! Beavis and Butthead! Ok I may have went too far but they are great. The beer is good too. Agile usually has 15 or so different beers or seltzers on tap. What I like about Agile is they don't just have 12 different IPA's (although I am a huge IPA guy) a stout and a blonde. They have all kinds of styles which is a good change of pace. Upon my last visit I had a Stout, An American Wheat, an IPA and a Krystalweisse (German light beer) in my flight. All were really good but the Krystalweisse was surprisingly good in that it was both flavorful and still light. Another plus for Agile is they are in an industrial park that includes 2 distilleries and another brewery. So, get you some curds and cracklins then get shmangled. Just call an Uber.

    I discovered Agile Brewing when a friend invited me to their Wednesday Bingo Night. Our game host,…read moreDoddy, was SO fun! I loved the shoutout to the regulars as if they were family. Bingo is free for paying customers, and I got their #5 brew - Lemon Buffer, a lemon vanilla sour - and the Locked and Loaded Taters. The beer queso on the tater tots was a nice touch! I was indoors for Bingo but their outdoor space looked nice with picnic tables and string lights lit up at night.
