    Po boy and crawfish pie
    Shamara B.

    Cool customer service. Nothing spectacular. Good po boy. Good crawfish pie. However, I wish it had more crawfish.

    Philly cheese grill shrimp poboy

    The poboy is definitely NOT a New Orleans Poboy. Cashier whose name I didn't get was very inviting and friendly. The restaurant was cleaned and well kept. Great customer service and the food came out fresh and hot. I know better to compare food anywhere to Nola food , just not go happen. However the Philly shrimp sandwich had a good taste. Bread was soft and kinda buttery, didn't get a taste of a real Nola French bread. It's Not overstuffed and had maybe 10 shrimps so that was a little disappointing. Overall we enjoyed the food . Fries were hot fresh needed a lil tyke salt But still good. A-plus for having Louisiana hot sauce.

    Catfish Basket...good!!

    My catfish basket was pretty good!! Fresh fish & no fishy taste or smell. The bread was even quite tasty.

    Fried pickles

    Good from po boy express was great! The office ordered out today for lunch and I got the ham and Swiss poboy with a side of fried pickles. The po boy was so fresh and the fried pickles were great! The pickles were nice and thick in size and the batter wasn't too thick or soggy. Id definitely suggest this for lunch again.

    I ordered large roast beef and it came out fast. It was dressed in soft toasted French bread and good amount of thin sliced roast beef. Au Jous on the side and it was thick and strong! Didn't need all off it. Taste was good, very easy to eat large portions! All in all, good place for po boys. I want to try other item's, will go there again. Price is not cheap but not terrible either. Parking is also limited and also a bit off the main road.

    Large half shrimp half oyster PoBoy.

    I had a combo PoBoy with half shrimp and half oyster. Very good. The place was well laid out and nice and clean. Service was great. I would say the seasoning on the seafood was a little strong and I found the seafood over salted. Just me tho. Also the fried oysters were a little under cooked which made it not quite to my liking. I will go back and try the catfish and the debris.

    Don't let the unassuming fast food look fool you. They make a legit shrimp Po-Boy here that won't break the bank. The shrimp where a good size and the breading was not overdone and flaky. The shrimp were not over cooked. Bread was legit as well. Fries were fine. I've had po-boys at much fancier seafood joints that were not near as good. Crawfish pies were not amazing but also pretty good. I wish I had a Po-Boy Express where I live. I'd eat there often

    I ordered a shrimp poboy dressed, no mayo, add hot sauce, and a side of fried sliced pickles. I received fried jalapeños and one of the worse poboy I've ever had. I don't know how they messed up my order when it was repeated back to me. Poboy was not dressed and there were barely any fried shrimp. The shrimp tasted old. Poboy was overpriced af. 19.99+tax for a puny large. NEVER GOING BACK

    This place never misses. The staff is always friendly and the food is always good. This time I got a classic shrimp poboy add cheese. The shrimp were seasoned and fried perfectly. The bread is soft and the fries have a good seasoning to them as well. I love everything they have to offer. The food is fresh and made to order but doesn't take long. One of my go to places when I needed something quick.

    I ordered a roast beef, Poboy and we I went home to eat it it had very small portion of roast beef and the rest of the sandwich was turkey that's misleading and to top it off they charged me $15

    Hugggee portions of fries and okra. Food was good, very seasoned though, so if you got salt issues let them know. Ordered shrimp poboys, okra,salad, mushrooms, and a kids cheeseburger.the kids cheeseburger is 10 bucks for the lol guy one which could feed an adult btw so my one year old wasnt gonna smash that. That was my only complaint id go back That okra was flame

    This review is only about the burgers. They buy frozen patties and serve them to you. Just go to McDonalds for that type of food.

Their fresh fish items are among my favorites, but if you want to try fried things, they don't over do the fry like some places. They don't give out a menu for those with allergy sensitivities, but they have at least one very knowledgeable manager who will come out to your table and discuss the various options and ingredients in many of their items. That was helpful as we had some in our group who could be adversely affected. While I don't personally frequent Parrain's, I've always had good experiencing. We recently met up with a friend who was in town craving seafood, so we met up here. Our server was super friendly, but drinks were extremely slow to come out. I was hoping for a predinner drink and then other to pair with my selections, but my first ended up coming after the raw oysters I ordered. Everyone left very satisfied. Some of the suggest sides of our group include the cauliflower and green beans. The gumbo was good - could have used more spice, and i don't care for Tony's or Tobasco, so I didn't get the flavor i wanted. The tuna was a hit, perfectly seared. And the sauteed crab claws were well received. Everyone seemed to have a good experience.

The Captain's Platter comes loaded with fries, slaw, hushpuppies, and the honey butter roll that got me rolling. They don't just stop at fried seafood either; they also have crawfish étouffée, shrimp & grits, and po'boys on Gambino's bread keep things real Louisiana.

I had no idea. Corks was owned by the same people. One of my friends who works at Coy-Yon's in West Baton Rouge told me that I could still get that potato pretty easily on Government Street. I guess this is basically the same thing as our restaurant in Port Alan instead of barbecue, they specialize in fish and shrimp. I did get shrimp as my protein for the potato and it was delicious Definitely go, give it a shot. The server was very nice and friendly. Parking very simple. Interiors mostly white. They've got some art on the wall, looks like it's done locally. Most mostly of their other restaurant. If I had to complain and be picky, I would say take that Christmas tree down. I always find the tacky when restaurants or businesses leave their Christmas tree up all year. It's never the flex they think it is. But who cares. The food is good.
