    Half Fried Oyster Po-boy $15.00 / $24.00 for a whole po-boy.
    John F.

    We stopped into Ponchartrain Po' Boys for the first time in October 2025 and overall had a really good experience. I ordered the half fried oyster po' boy ($15) and a side of red beans & rice ($4), while my guest had the fried fish basket ($13) that comes with three strips and a side of potato salad. The oyster po' boy was tasty with fresh bread and well-seasoned oysters, though I felt the portion was a little small for the price. The red beans & rice were flavorful and a great complement to the meal, and the fried fish was crisp and nicely cooked. We arrived around 2:30 p.m. on a Monday, and the place was busy, which says a lot about its popularity. The service was fair, and our food came out in a reasonable amount of time. Prices were mostly reasonable--the only thing I thought was a bit overpriced was the oyster po' boy. All in all, good food, generous portions on most items, and a lively local atmosphere. We'd definitely come back to try a few other things on the menu next time.

    Great poor boy shop in an unpretentious strip mall setting. The fried seafood poor boys are all great. Did not love the hot sausage, poor boy, but it was OK. They have soft drinks and cold beer. Onion rings are a must. Homemade and perfectly fried.

    Delicious food at this restaurant. You can order at the front, you get your number and they will bring your food out to your table. They also do to go orders. We ordered and the food came out pretty quickly which was good since we were all starving. We had the fried shrimp poboy and fried oyster poboy. Another in our party had the roast beef poboy and fried shrimp platter which was also delicious. Very generous portions, They have a large dining room and staff is excellent. It's located in a strip mall, I could see when this place gets busy, the parking can be bit challenging, but overall excellent place.

    First time visiting Pontchartrain and it was amazing. Portions are very big and the meal quality was outstanding.

    I spotted this place on the map app before I ever got to town and bookmarked it. Today is the day I get to try them. They are closed on weekends but I'm not complaining because good food is worth waiting for. This a simple establishment with a long dining room with lots of tables and all the basics provided including two fountain drink stations. Come in, order at the counter, find a table and wait a couple of minutes for your food. Outside on the sidewalk, the chalkboard says Red Beans and Rice every day now for $12.95! Sounds good to me since I've had shrimp every day since Friday including today. But I'll be back! To try a shrimp po-boy because I LOVE SHRIMP! Their red beans and rice are excellent! Cooked perfectly. An order comes with cornbread (of course - a must) and smoked sausage. The cornbread was delicious as was the link of sausage. My taste buds never had it so good. Service was great. As soon as I scraped off my plate of leftovers into one of the provided to-go boxes, a server took that empty plate off my hands before I could set it back down. I see multiple chalkboards calling my name too. I have not had a Muffaletta yet. I love the olive salad that comes on them. And I couldn't get out of here without browsing the dessert case. So I took a slice of the Milky Caramel & Marshmallow Chocolate Cake to go. Yummy!

    Soft shell crab special

    Had the pleasure of stopping by this staple of a gem for the first time while parents were in town visiting. We ordered onion rings, crab cake pasta, roast beef Po-Boy, soft shell crab special which comes with fried shrimp and a bowl of gumbo, and the hot burger which is a hot sausage patty and hamburger patty put together. All of our food was delicious. Especially the crab cakes. You can tell it's fresh crabmeat and not artificial. You have to place your order at counter and then they will bring to your table. Peak hours are definitely 12-1pm. We had to wait about 15 mins to get a table after someone got up. The gumbo did give me bubble guts afterwards so I won't get that again.

    Best seafood and macaroni! Never had a bad meal here! That is all I have to say, but the review police want me to write more.

    Overpriced and never prepares my order as requested. The flavor of their roast beef has changed for the worse. I prefer Dave & Jerry's.

    It's one of those places where everything on the menu is really good. It's family run so it's closed on the weekends.

    Meatball po-boy was good, along with the oyster and catfish platter. Good size. Can be a bit of a wait if they are busy.

    I love a fried shrimp Po-boy, and they make a good one. However, they are a bit pricey. You can get as good or better for less , elsewhere.
