Small restaurant with big flavor. Consistent quality dinners. Their scallop appetizer is lick the plate delicious. We have a few meals that we always order and have never been disappointed. Their rice pudding is just like what your grandma made! The staff has been working there for along time and they welcome you like part of their family. It says a lot when you have a staff that sticks with your restaurant for many years. Obviously, the owner knows that a successful business requires happy successful employees! read more

This was my first visit to Po' Boys Creole Restaurant. The restaurant is small and tucked behind Dollar General. When I arrived, they were fairly busy. The cashier seemed a little frustrated, though it looked more like the stress of a long day than poor customer service. I placed a to go order, left a tip, and waited outside. My food was ready in about 20 to 25 minutes. I ordered the blackened scallops and the crawfish étouffée. The scallops were $13 and the portion was much smaller than I expected. More concerning, they had a strong ammonia smell and taste, which is a common sign of spoiled seafood. I ended up throwing them away. The crawfish étouffée looked promising at first. The roux had good color and a nice thick consistency. Unfortunately, after a few bites, I noticed the same ammonia taste in the crawfish. (Portion for this was a good amount) seems wasteful due to the ammonia taste. It is a shame because I wanted to like this place, and the étouffée showed some potential. Based on my experience, the quality of the seafood was a serious issue and made the meal disappointing. I hope the restaurant addresses its seafood handling and freshness. read more

Had another wonderful meal here ...We knew what we wanted, ordered and we were on our way. I believe our server was Lisa, friendly and accommodating. The place is small but charming, nothing fancy but really good food. I had the scallops as an appetizer, Wifey went with the sticky wings. Entrees I had the shrimp and grits and she went for the red bean and rice dish. Washed it down with some red wine (Cabernet). A really enjoyable dinner; we had the Mississippi mud pie to go, it was ok. We'll be back real soon. read more

Back down in the Milton DE area for a few nights and come by for dinner two nights in a row. We can get the other key food group types in and around the Philly region, but authentic Creole food.... hell no and Chase, the current top chef and owner is doing a fabulous job. He took what Mike built and established and brought Po'Boys Creole a step further if you can believe that being possible. The same great friendly staff and AWESOME TASTY AUTHENTIC food. Note, this place is food heaven on earth and only has so many tables and no one is rushing through their meals.... this food needs to be savored. Hence, come early, less wait time. First night dinner we opened with a cup of chicken and andouille gumbo, as thick as it gets and yummy. So flavorful. Next, we had the backend scallops, this hands down is a must have dish. Incredible texture, moist, flavorful and the spinach was cooked to perfection. Now for our main dishes, one sent me to heaven and back--- the Jambalaya dish was THE BEST we've ever had here. There was more spice/kick then we recall and boy that was a most welcomed surprise in our mouths. We hugged Chase for this dish, it was an award winner for sure. We also shared the crawfish etouffee which I can't get anywhere else this fresh, this much and this good. For our repeat night, night 2, we opened with the fried green tomatoes; another must have dish. My wife had a special dish-- crab cake platter and had to have the Jambalaya again. Yup, needed to experience that great cooking another night before heading back up north. We said our long good byes and welcome our next future trip to the region where Po'Boys will be on our menu for sure. Hungry yet? Then don't blame me if you drool over your smartphone looking at our food pictures. read more

Technically, I give this a 4.25. i I thought the jambalaya tasted like an Italian rice dish. Perhaps it's just my personal preference for the smoky brown Cajun version over the red Creole version . . . this is a Creole restaurant so I knew what I was getting . . but I still think it would benefit from a little more spice and complexity. The Gumbo is excellent. Definitely something to get when eating here. Perfect seasonings. Savory. Really good. The next time I visit, I want the crawfish Etouffee or the Zydeco plate. I've also had about 10 people tell me to go back and get the scallop appetizer. Portions are good sized. Prices are fair. Service is excellent. I never have room for dessert so the next time I'm starting with their pecan pie because it looks absolutely amazing. read more

We've lived in Southern Delaware for many years and this is hands down our favorite restaurant. Outstanding perfectly cooked and seasoned seafood, from blackened catfish to halibut and triggerfish (the last two were specials), and amazing better than New Orleans jambalaya, Po'boy sandwiches, shrimp and crawfish dishes, red beans and rice. And a pecan pie to die for. In a small tucked away cafe setting that's decked out like a small venue in the French Quarter with Mardi Gras flair on the walls and wonderful staff. It just doesn't get any better. My wife and I are pondering moving to a less crowded part of the country but Po'Boys is the one place we will miss dearly. read more

What a delight to find such authentic creole food at this sweet spot. This place gets busy. Be ready to wait, and when you get a table, be ready to order. The rich, fresh tastes here will leave you smiling. I had a shrimp and crawfish po boy. No way to pick it up and eat it. It was packed with seafood. There are daily specials, and service is efficient and nice. read more

This was our first visit here and it did not disappoint. The lovely lady was very attentive and pleasant. It's a small place but no problem finding a table for lunch. The food was scrumptious. We started with a cup of gumbo - pretty good. I would highly recommend the appetizer Blackened Scallops with Sauteed Spinach, Lemon Caper sauce. I usually do not like capers but this was just a perfect finish to the dish. Scallops perfectly cooked. Wait but there is more... the Fried Crawfish Po' Boy served on French bread with creole fries, fresh made coleslaw and choice of house made Remoulade, Cajun Tartar or Creole Honey Mustard. Since we couldn't decide which, they gave us all 3 on the side and labels them. They were all so good! If I have to pick, I would pick the creole honey mustard which is a surprising choice because I don't usually like mustard. It was piled high with crawfish and those fries were pretty amazing too! Definitely would return the next time we are in town. read more

Took a little road trip, off our beaten path. Small little restaurant. We had to wait about 20 minutes but well worth it. Food was hot with true creole flavors. Great service and large serving sizes. read more

This local favorite transitioned to a new owner. For a while, the original chef stayed in the kitchen but I haven't spotted him there for a few months. Most of the friendly staff and cooks are still there. Delicious regulars such as the gumbo, the scallop app, the Po Boys, creole dishes and desserts are pretty much the same. New items and specials are not always in the NOLA theme, such as the wings or dinner specials, but are frequently quite good. Wings are a bit sweet for me, but others really love them. Same general atmosphere, but sometimes the indie music gives way to county. (Let's see if Joe T. thinks this is an "Oh no!") read more

This resturant is a great find! Authentic Creole food that was flavorful and well balanced. We had the calamari, fried oysters (the favorite) and gator bites. The gator bites were a bit chewy but the other two were tender. The sauces served with them were a hit. For dinner, we had the crab cake special and the crawfish etoufee. Both were delicious. The craw fish fish was spicy, but balanced and tasted like it was straight from new orleans. The crab cakes were the best I have ever had. Full of meat with very little filler. Overall a great resturant and a must try! The dining area is small, so you may have a wait. read more

Ok y'all... EAT HERE NOW. It's been so long since a restaurant has really "Wow'd" the entire family. The restaurant is in a small strip mall, looks like an old location next to dollar store. Plenty of cars out front it was full. Every morsel was gobbled up. Even the kids devoured the food. Voodoo egg rolls are a must! Creamy cheesy inside and crispy out. Perfection. Jambalaya was awesome. Not too saucy. Just the right amount of kick. I would prefer with less chicken (personal preference). Gumbo had the most delightfully rich Roux. Red Beans and Rice was also delicious. Beignets were great. Clean restaurant. Friendly services perfect food. Keep it up Po' Boys keep it fresh and you'll continue to thrive. read more

A little off the beaten path but totally worth it!!! Some of the best food. service is incredible. It is extremely crowded though in the dining area. I was alone so I was able to get a stool at the "bar top" which is just a skinny table on the wall in the hallway. That sounds like a negative but they make it work and it was a great experience! read more

Still 5 stars, even under new ownership. The specials are always fantastic and bring a good flair to their smaller menu. If you stop in and are given a number to wait in line, wait. We have had just about everything on their menu and have NEVER been disappointed. We cannot recommend this place enough, and it's a shame we live 2 hours away and can't experience it more than 1 week out of the year. Also kudos to the staff. They all work their butts off and the food/service is crazy consistent. Their sweet tea is also the necter of the gods. read more

This was our first visit to Po' Boys and it most certainly won't be our last. It was a Saturday night and there was a line out the door. We waited for a table and it was well worth the wait.

We finished with the pecan pie rounding out one of the best dining experiences of the year. read more

Po' Boys Creole Restaurant - I believe they were called Bourbon Street Wings - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Milton, Delaware

Food and ambiance is fantastic! Very friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere. It doesn't look like much from the outside and the place is small with maybe 8 tables but they had a steady crowd. I had the shrimp Po'Boy. The fried shrimp on French bread with remoulade was delicious! The side of Cole slaw was fresh and more vinegary which I prefer rather than creamy and the fries were really good with a light herb seasoning. The shrimp were cooked perfectly with a light corn flour coating and I've been looking for fried shrimp like I had in South Carolina and this is it! There are several other seafood choices on the menu I would like to try. We are from Dover and we will be back as it's worth the drive. I'm still thinking about those delicious shrimp a day later. read more

Southern vibes nice fresh food and cool staff! My boyfriend and I really liked it we travel far for some Cajun food and it was worth it

I'm baaaaaaak. This time with a few more friends. We had another set of meals including Bourbon Street Winfs, Crawlfish Tasso Egg rolls, Fried Oysters, Shrimp Po Boy and Collard Greens. Mind you, this wasn't my order although if I was a glutton I'd surely try it in one setting. All guests cheered their selections. Jambalaya was said to have a nice kick to it but not overpowering. Collards were noted as delicious from folks who make them at home (so you know this was a high hurdle to call them delicious. Service from Lisa was also tremendous. Thaw is always consistently welcoming to guests! read more

TLDR: Delicious creole food with generous portions. Come for the shrimp etouffee and massive Poboys! Vibe: 3/5. Right off the highway in a nondescript strip mall, Po Boys is easy to miss. Inside the small restaurant there are about 8 tables total, so at peak hours there may be a wait. Walls are adorned in various pictures from NOLA and a blackboard over top of the register displays any specials for the day. No frills yet cozy and welcoming. Service: 5/5. The waitress Lisa was great! We were seated immediately and orders taken not too long after that. Food came out very quickly and piping hot. Food: 5/5. Having been to NOLA numerous times, the food at Po Boys brings back fond memories of the Big Easy. We ordered the Zydeco Platter (etouffee, red beans and rice and gumbo) as well as the Zydeco Poboy (crawfish, shrimp, oyster and catfish). Everything was well seasoned and tasted spot on to the dishes of NOLA. Portions were also very generous, with the Po Boy overflowing with seafood. Highly recommend! read more

Everything! Multiple owners over time, same great food. Wonderful menu. We visit on a regular basis.

I've been coming here for years and never once had a bad meal or experience. This is one of the few places you can order anything off the menu and it will be great. They are by far best in class for their cuisine and in my opinion one of the best overall places to eat in the entire Cape region. read more

My favorite restaurant. Amazing food friendly service. Don't judge this book by the cover.

We stopped into Po' Boys for dinner while visiting the area, and it was definitely one of the highlights of the trip. We were hungry, and they did not disappoint. We started with the fried crawfish tails. These were great. A little heavy on the fry mix, but the crawfish still shined through. I moved on to a bowl of gumbo. This was rich, spicy (but not too), and full of all the goodness that makes up gumbo. Frankly, I could have stopped here and been happy. But, the place is called Po' Boys, and you gotta get one. I went with the classic fried oyster, while my fiancee got crabcake. This was, ironically, where the place suffered a little bit. The sandwiches are served on really large, thick bread, which undermines the real stars. It's good bread, but for my taste, just a scosche too much. We finished of with the Mud Pie. It was a fairly simple dessert which brought back memories of those pies from childhood. I feel I should subtract stars for that z but I guess I can't fault them my childhood. ;) read more
