    Mayo bottle.

    Ordered a burger and fries. Burger seemed to be a frozen patty thrown on the grill. It had a strong grilled taste. I decided I wanted extra mayo on it. There was a squeeze bottle on the table. After I opened the lid, I decided I had enough mayo on my burger. The lid was NASTY! As I was putting the mayo back on the table against the wall where it was, I noticed the wall. It had food (probably gravy of some sort) splattered on it. I then noticed the painting was also splattered. Totally lost my appetite. The fries are coated. If you like coated fries, then you will like these. I just want potatoes, not stuff added to make them crunchy. My husband ordered the pork chop poboy. It was generous in size. However, it seemed to be a frozen pork patty, not a fresh pork chop like he expected. This was our first time eating here. Not sure if we we'll be back.

    Shrimp on bun w/ cheese & grilled onions

    The establishment is very nice & so is the staff! It appeared to be very clean as well. When I went, I ordered the shrimp on bun with added cheese and grilled onions, small fries & a sprite. The total came up to $22 and some change. I wasn't a fan of the fries, honestly, because I didn't enjoy the way they were fried.. it was too crunchy for me (but not in a burnt crunchy way, maybe they have batter on their fries). The sandwich was good, it tasted like a traditional shrimp on bun. However, the cheese and grilled onion really set it off for me!! It took it up a level! I just was turned off by the fact that some of the shrimp were deveined and some weren't. For that reason I won't reorder it. Everything was very fresh and didn't take too long for me to receive. Overall it was okay, nothing to be crazy over. I give it an 8/10.

    Monstrous muffuletta,  the best I've ever had!

    It was my first time here. Tiny place, very clean, very friendly. Ordered and got my salad in a minute. Everything else came in 11 minutes. This is the best food I'd had in a long time. We'll be back! Fantastic food and service!

    I'm ashamed to say I only recently heard about Central Poboys even though they have been around for over a decade. Central Poboys has some amazing burgers, like their roast beef debris burger, and their poboys are really large. They also have a great selection of daily specials and then you don't want to miss their dessert options. Overall this is a great spot to get your poboy or burger hunger totally destroyed with huge portions and great flavor. My video review of Central Poboys is here: https://youtu.be/8M1WXsr23yk

    Interesting place!

    We were always curious about this place because we pass by often and when it is open, there's lots of cars... they are open only Monday through Friday from 11am to 3pm. Yes, they have limited hours but it is a MUST TRY kind of place. Their staff is super friendly, the place is really cool and the food is OH MY! We tried the onion rings and they are definitely the best onion rings in town. We also tried the burger and shrimp poboys and they were also extremely good. You can tell that they strive for quality and customer service. I know the hours are limited but make it happen! You won't regret it.

    Alligator sausage po-boy with perfect fries.
    Joe T.

    Caught a craving for a po-boy, and had an appointment at a nearby place. So I let Yelp guide me here. Special on the menu today includes an alligator sausage po-boy. Well. I guess that settles that. Atmosphere seems like a dive at first, but it's very clean with a rustic look. The server taking my order threw me off a little asking if I wanted lettuce, tomato, and mayo. I suppose they've had too many out-of-towners who didn't know what "dressed" meant. The sandwich was good - crusty Leidenheimer bread and a good sausage (split and grilled nicely). Hard to tell alligator sausage from pork, but it was good. Tomatoes were a little scarce on the sandwich, but overall it was good. The fries were perfectly cooked - perfectly brown and crispy. Nothing to say but perfect. Service was a bit inattentive but not bad, really. Certainly something worth coming back for if you're in the neighborhood.

    A great place to get PO-Boys and muffuletta. We always get ours to go. The shrimp poboys are the best.

    Cute coffee shop on the outside and inside, but the coffee was quite mid & so was the breakfast…read moresandwich. Nothing special about either. Service was also a bit rude and rushed and we were the only ones ordering. 2 coffees and 2 sandwiches were $27.50 I likely won't recommend or go out of my way to go back. New Orleans has some high coffee competition in my opinion and this place just didn't do it for me.

    This place is one my go to coffee hang outs. I almost want to keep it a secret because I enjoy that…read moreit is not overcrowded and quaint. This is what I would call a Orleans Parish fancy coffee shop setting with home made meals and coffee in Jefferson. You feel like you are in New Orleans as it is a raised house, with high ceilings, wooden creeky floors, door locks that barely work for the bathroom, and even live music. I have been coming here monthly since the summer and it is a small business owned by a woman who makes her own pickles and cookies with sea salt and coffees. Since it is small, they sometimes run out of items so if your heart is set on something call ahead. She has the most incredible pulled pork cheesy biscuit. Again, sometimes the cheesy biscuit is out, but the regular biscuit is just fine. The home made pickles are truly incredible. My hubby does not like pickles and he craves these. There is a sweetness to them, it isn't all vinegary. And the owner is considering selling them on the side soon. The cookie is a chocolate chip cookie that she adds seastalt to that enhances the flavor. The salad I had, she was out of the particular greens, but the salad was amazing too! The coffee I had was a caramel or something style, it was so good, I got it in cold and hot latte style! I love the teal truck outside that matches the door. The place is clean inside. There are steps to get into the place, there are about 5 or 6 small tables inside, there is a porch with a couple of small tables as well. Prices are on par with any other Orleans parish coffee shop, and parking is off street parking and is across the street which is basically Causeway.

    Service: You're going to walk into this restaurant and feel like you're the most important customer…read morethey've ever had. We were greeted before we ever made it through the door by a gentleman dressed very nicely (with a bow tie!). He took us to our table and immediately took our drink order then explained the specials and answered our questions about some of the items on the menu. Service was genuine, friendly, fast and thorough. Food: first and foremost both our meals were delicious! I love the fact that they came out fast and hot. The pork chops (you get two with your order!) were amazing - juicy, flavorful and cooked to perfection, the chef made a sweet potato chutney that was out of this world! The Mac and Cheese was flavorful and the ratio of noodles to cheese was perfect (I love the fact that it was baked on top!). If you select a meal that offers the sweet potatoes as a side dish, trust me, you're not going to wanna miss this opportunity for the best sweet potatoes you've ever had. Both the manager and the chef visited with us for a bit, representing the best in southern hospitality. We felt like we were eating at somebody's home as invited guests versus your typical rushed service. We'll be back on our next visit to New Orleans!

    If the food at Minnie and Johns (delicious by the way!) doesn't keep you coming back the service…read moreand hospitality definitely will! This place is homey and family oriented. Chad is the absolute best! The food was so good I forgot to take pictures! The fried turkey necks and Kala (play on corn and rice) were my favorites! I will absolutely return!
