My husband and I came here back in June based on a family favorite recommendation. I am a turkey club aficionado and I have to say the one here, is definitely at the top! This place has a local neighborhood feel and everyone seemed to know each other there, and service was friendly. We did notice a discrepancy in prices on the menus versus the total when we had our orders rang up. We brought this to the cashiers attention, and she said they do need to update their menus, so that might have been done by now. Overall great lunch spot! read more

Food was decent. You walk in and place order...large selection to choose from. Had purchased a large order of fries that I shared and also a Lots-o burger. Burger was huge and bigger than my hand! Was fully dressed with pickles, tomatoes and lettuce. Fries were plan but came very hot. Would probably try again...happened to come today visiting family in NOLA. read more

Arabi Food Store - Sandwiches Near Me - Arabi, Louisiana

Well the reviews lores me in but I won't go back. The food just wasn't up to my liking. Leaving the gun range I wanted a burger or a burger poboy and this place was close. Waiting time wasn't long and was really hungry so got a large. The service was great. The staff was friendly and the place was clean. The hamburger pony just wasn't tasty. I had my mind and mouth fixed on it and was sorely disappointed. It taste more like a soybean burger than beef. You live and you learn. read more

Highly enjoyed the honey garlic shrimp wrap and looking around at others food it looked delicious. Next time I go I want to try the shrimp poboy! read more

Friendly neighborhood dining experience. The prices are reasonable and the food is good.

Everything and the people were friendly..The roastbeef poboy was fantastic and the French bread was fresh and soft just the way I like it. I'll be back to try something else that's tasty. read more

Arguably the best poboys in Nola. I enjoy the veal cutlet dressed... however each are good. Super busy for lunch time.

I stopped by one of the local spots and was not let down. This establishment is in the middle of a neighborhood a block or two off the main highway but on the corner so you can't miss it. Serves hot food plates as well. I know it says food store but it's definitely a restaurant as well. I had the hamburger poboy and it was cooked to perfection and very delicious. read more

You gotta love this place. They have a great breakfast, lunch and dinner. All at reasonable prices. Parking is easy and indoor seating is available. The poor boys are the best around and the Philly Cheesesteak is delicious. The staff is helpful and courteous and friendly. read more

Arabi Food Store is reliably good. Their shrimp poboy is always delicious - a really great choice for lunch. Several of their daily specials are among my favorite choices. I especially love the chicken fried steak and lasagna entrees. Their cold beverage selection is huge. Seriously, if you can't find it in their coolers you don't really need to drink it. Seating options are plentiful. One thing to note: The seating options are at bar height, so it may be problematic for those with very small children or physical challenges to dine-in. read more

We went sometime in the afternoon a little after lunchtime and it was very busy. The staff was friendly and the food came out fairly quickly. However, the majority of staff and patrons were not wearing masks. The roast beef poboy was dry, and there was nothing remarkable about the shrimp poboy. The muffuletta was really good. I thought everything was a bit expensive, but there aren't a lot of choices in that area, so the price makes sense. read more

A solid mom and pop shop deep in Arabi serving up some great food. Their Po-Boys are huge so keep this in mind when you order. The roast beef and shrimp are delicious but my favorite is the Club Sandwich. Lots of turkey, ham and crispy bacon. On Fridays they have a great gumbo which I usually get during the few cold days we get in winter. So next time you're in Arabi stop in a have a seat you won't be disappointed. read more

Leave downtown and check this place out. Talk about local only! I had the muffelata 1/2 order and it was massive. Highly recommend read more

Food was fresh and great. O ordered a shrimp poboy and my friend ordered a roast beef poboy. We stopped in for lunch and was greeted by the staff like old friends. We both ate until we were stuffed! read more

Great food, friends, conversation and Roast Beef. They have daily lunch specials and breakfast. But for sure there star of the show is the roast beef. Get it on french bread or bun or open face. Whatever way you like it because it really doesn't matter, it's flavor is that good. Oh don't forget to wash it down with a Barq's Root beer in the old fashion glass bottle. Put the paper towels to good use and enjoy! read more

Our bicycle tour guide brought us here for lunch and we were so glad that he did. This place is a local institution and we would have never found it on our own. We felt very lucky to have been able to experience it. The whole experience was very authentic. We had our lunch among construction workers, elderly locals who seemed to meet there every day for lunch and local business people. We all had po' boys. Daughter and I both ordered the shrimp and the guide had the beef. The sandwiches are large. When we sat down the guide offered to share his beef half and half with my shrimp. I took him up on the offer and boy was I glad I did. He knew what he was doing! My shrimp was good (with some hot sauce sprinkled on) but his beef was really good! read more

Great local landmark with huge chips and soda selection. True mom-and-pop shop that is bustling and full of Louisiana natives but friendly to others. The shrimp po'boy was tasty-- chewy bread, hot and fresh shrimp, crisp pickles. Fantastic establishment for a hearty lunch and a dip into the community here. read more

I am a po-boy/muffuletta connoisseur (self appointed). I recently have been on a quest for the best po-boys and muffs in the city. This place is a hidden gem in Arabi. The muffuletta is one of the best in the city and well worth the drive. The shrimp was excellent and the breaded veal po-boy was one of the best I've ever had. Say hi to Max while you're here. He owns the place and is a great guy! read more

We found this place by accident. The first day, we tried breakfast and since I haven't been in the south for quite some time, I HAD to have a bacon, egg and cheese biscuit. It was to die for. Ryan had the ham and cheese breakfast sandwich (on poboy bread, with potatoes added onto it). Our meal cost us less than $12. Mind blowing flavor. Mind blowing price. We came back another day and the gentleman who greeted us at the register remembered us from our breakfast date, which was really nice. He actually greeted every single customer who walked through the door by name, which was impressive and highly commendable. This time, we had lunch. Ryan had never had a poboy before, so of course we had to order some. I had been craving a roast beef poboy for a solid two weeks, so that's what I had. It was messy and everything I've ever wanted. Ryan ordered the shrimp poboy and it was delicious; however, we both preferred their roast beef poboy. (We split the two and took our leftovers with us). My only regret is that I didn't have more opportunities to dine here. read more

Arabi Food Store: A community staple. This place has good home-cooked food, economical prices, and friendly service. It has been around since the 70's and continues to thrive.... so the must be doing something right. The menu consists of the basic New Orleans cuisine. Every kind of poboy you can imagine (deli meats, fried seafood, warm meats, etc.) They also have daily specials that come in hefty servings. Breakfast, lunch or dinner.... you can't go wrong. read more

I have been to NO quite a few times, and this place was recommended for to me for lunch. It is one of the best sandwich places I've ever eaten at. Delicious. read more

Based on some online searching, I spent the morning exploring the historic area of Arabi. Then time for a lunchtime muffuletta! You order from the cashier, pay up and wait for your ticket number to be called. You can enjoy your drink while seated at a table, or a small counter. My half -size Italian was nicely warmed, and very, very good. I will be back! read more

Enjoyed the food and ambiance very very much. I am a Holy Cross man...so very nostalgic about this place. It was once a literal hole in a literal wall...nice casual seating. This place and the neighborhood are worth a drive if you are visiting NOLA. Probably 15 min drive from the FQ. The owner/cook is an attraction, but I believe he is married. read more

Nobody... not even the staff was wearing face masks in the restaurant. Very unwelcoming to walk into.

Always enjoy the oysters poboy every time I come, I'm from out of town but grew up in Arabi. I go every time I go down there. read more

Y'all it's so good for any and every meal. For breakfast get the Graffeo's Killer Omelets with hot sausage, ham, bacon, onions, bell peppers & cheddar cheese. This is my favorite omelette in the world. So good and so filling. For lunch, the shrimp poboy or the fish tacos. For dinner we get their daily specials. The pork chops taste like your mom made them if you mom was the best cook ever. The people are also the sweetest and are so friendly and always smiling. It's a great spot in a great neighborhood! read more

Lived here over 10 years and I'm ate here for the first time a few months ago and my life was instantly made better. They have awesome poboys and you can't go wrong with any of the chicken dishes, wrapped and salads, and at a good price, quick service, friendly people. Hands down one of my top favs and a great go to lunch spot. They do close pretty early though so don't wait too late and let the hours slip by before you get around to getting food here, it's too disappointing when all you want is a chicken wrap and you ended up waiting to long and they've closed. ): read more

Stayed across the street from this place with 8 guys. We enjoyed what we got and we just about tried everthing. Everyone was happy with their choice. Mine was the Catfish pooh boy and it was hot, and simple with great bread and delicious catfish. read more
