The menu.

Before I blather on let me say head out here and get the $5 shrimp po boy special to try them out. It's not on a bun.. it's a 6(or more) inch loaf that's a little skinny but that made it perfect for eating and driving. The person claiming touristy prices must be from out of town or something. You get what you pay for. We have inflation dood! Lay off the "stuff" brah. You trippin! So, I was headed home to Reefer Ridge in almost Kennah, brah! after an appointment with a client. I was talking to my friend Jeff Hewitt, former Riverside County supervisor that served on the LNC with me. He is the guy who knows who the real life John Galt is but I ain't tellin. I then saw this sign that said $5 Shrimp Sandwich. I told this to Jeff as I was U turning and he agreed that I needed to go back and check that out. It was the new seafood restaurant taking over the old Rally's across from the St Roch Market. My first impression was the place was clean. My next impression was "Oh £¥€k! Where is my wallet!" I then drove to the speaker and they confirmed they could use my Apple wallet. My next impression was it was a pretty extensive menu and it looked good. I ordered the $5 special and decided to get a side of red beans. My next impression was at the window where I noticed they seemed to be Asian. "Eff Yeah!"This got me hopeful because maybe they were Vietnamese and most of my preferred shrimp po boys have been made by people of Vietnamese ethnicity. My Apple Wallet worked! After a very short wait of maybe 3-5 minutes they handed me a bag. I then continued on my way home.. eating my sammich. I had figured it was going to get a bun. I was pleasantly surprised that it was a po boy banh mi style. A little six(or more) inch loaf. I had forgotten to ask for ketchup and hot sauce the way I normally get it but that was ok especially for the first time. My next impression was how perfect the bread was. It was crisp and light and didn't cut my mouth. The shrimp were fresh and good and of a decent size. I could have stood a little more mayo for my taste but once again better for the first impression. I stayed off the interstate as I was eating and talking to Jeff on my headset. I finished the sandwich very pleased. Despite how skinny it was, it took me a while to eat. I moved on to the red beans. First impression here was.. "That's a lotta garlic!" Beans were good. Some meat in them. Not overloaded with rice. Portion size was maybe a little small for $3 So I am sitting here writing this review shocked how few reviews there are already and how poor the ones that are. Don't take our word for it. Go get the 5 dollar special and come make your own. Sorry for the lack of pics. I was driving, eating and talking on a headset. I have the menu in my car so I was grab that and post it. Every time I think about it.. I think I want another one and am considering making the 25 minute trip today, even though it's less that 12 hours later. That's a good sign.

$6 Special Fish Poboy

After reading the reviews for this place I decided to give them a try and review it myself. I had pretty low expectations to be honest. Went through the drive through and was in and out in about 5 minutes. I drove home before opening the package thinking I'd need to add more dressing or cheese etc. After the 10-15 minute drive to midcity the sandwich was still acceptably warm, crispy, and delicious.. I didn't add anything and was totally happy with it.. My GF thought it was weird that it didn't have tomato, but it had the right amount of lettuce, pickle and mayo for my personal taste. (saw another positive review that said it was light on mayo, I wonder if they saw that and adjusted, because I like a fairly unhealthy amount of mayo on my sandwich's and this was perfect) The bun had a great texture, about an 8 inch sandwich with plenty of fish (catfish) - I really liked the way the fish was cut up and battered, really nicely balanced bites. I was going to give it 4 stars but I couldn't come up with a single improvement that would make it better so they get 5 on this sandwich.. I'll try another menu item next time and update if necessary! (if I can resist getting this sandwich again!)

Lemon pepper bread it I didn't want that I thought it was nake it and chicken look like it's on steroids

I'm pissed. The first time I tried it and it's nasty cajun rice is plain rice no taste, the chicken wings looked make on the picture lemo pepper bread is not good , service good but that not Cajun rice and the need new chicken wings

FOURTEEN DOLLARS for this

this place is basically a scam, the amount of food you receive looks nothing like what is pictured. paid fourteen dollars for a "basket" and got seven shrimp. You'd be better off going literally anywhere else.

Muffuletta and cheesesteak all day!!…read more That's our go to sammiches. Lots of folks, and I mean lots, really like the wow sauce. We think it just ok. The cheesesteak is super tasty, great bread steak sliced thin and cooked just right and American cheese to make melty. The hot muffuletta is one of the best in town. Plenty of meat and olive spread and the toasted muffuletta bread is so good. Service? What service you order at the cashier, not in the back, you pay your money, stay out of the way and wait for your number to get called. It's that simple. Don't wander around in the back looking at the deli counter confused, the place is too small and they don't take your order there. Don't try it, don't think about it, don't even look back there. The cashier is up front thats where you wanna be. When they call your number take your bag and leave. Walk away from the front door then shove it in your face. It's so good. Even if for some reason you didn't like the food that's ok, you got a real NOLA experience so know matter what you're a winner. I went by myself this time so only a cheesesteak pic, but just imagine that pic in muffuletta form with different toppings and no melty cheese.

They have so much to choose from. The beef steak is also super yummy. Grab a beer or whatever else you'd like to drink!

I DREAMMMM of this place. So much so I'm making a review a few months later…read more While at a conference in March, I couldn't get away long enough to grab a bite, so I searched up vegan restaurants and DoorDash and came across this gem! I was delighted that I would get to experience some NOLA cuisine! I ordered the mushroom poboy and the gumbo and my goodness! The mushrooms were fried and seasoned and just the right amount of greasy goodness. The toppings were crispy and light and the mayo was so good! It had fallen apart just a little, but this was obviously due to delivery. And the gumbo was everything I wanted it to be. It was all amazing! I had the best time just chowing down alone in my hotel room Whenever my friend and I were exploring the quarter, we came across it again! I just had to try more. The front was so cute! The vibes were immaculate with music and vegan posters. The environment immediately felt welcoming to this southern vegan. They were originally out of the crabby patties, but the guy at the counter told me if I was willing to wait, he'd whip one up for me. And I'm so glad I did The Crabby Patty was absolutely superb and I don't think I've ever had a vegan crab cake dupe that was that enjoyable. I'm pretty sure it was a chickpea base with seaweed, but when I tell you this thing was seasoned amazingly!! The toppings were fresh and crisp and the bun was fluffy. All around a wonderful time. I want to come back every year!

Vegan spicy chicken! (4.5/5 Green Stars) How can you resist…read morea place named 2 Phat Vegans?! It's a lovely building in a great location, near the French market, Esplanade Ave., and Frenchmen St. The interior is cheerfully painted in bright colors with lots of art and posters on the walls. The bright green interior, contrasted against the red brick exterior, is fun and charming. I ordered my food to go a spicy chic'n sandwich (vegan chicken, vegan cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles) for $14.65, and waited at a table outside. The staff/owner seems a bit disorganized so you may wait a while depending on who's running the show. Case-in-point - the menu on the website is a mess! My food was good, however, and I'd have it again. Not a bargain, considering that it doesn't come with fries. Others report inconsistent quality - get your acts together, guys! I'm also rating 2 Phat Vegans 4.5 out of 5 Green Stars for social and environmental impact, based on the following: * Everything here is vegan. Adopting a plant-based diet is the top thing you can do to mitigate climate change, deforestation, animal cruelty, and global food scarcity (and improve your health!) * Many items seem to be made in house, for example the hot sausage, which I'll try next time. I just found that out from an interview with the owner on YouTube. The website could do a much better job on this selling point. * Black-owned local business that's pretty conscious about the food and drinks that they stock. * Room for improvement: my sandwich came in what appears to be a Styrofoam box. Switch this to compostable cardboard please! Styrofoam is nasty for the planet.

We stumbled upon Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken while exploring New Orleans, and I'm so glad we…read moredid! The fried chicken was the star--served hot and fresh, perfectly crispy on the outside, and incredibly juicy on the inside. Just good, classic Southern fried chicken done right. The sides were great, but the fried green tomatoes are a MUST. They were fresh, crispy, flavorful, and had the perfect crunch without being greasy. This was also my first time ever trying chess pie, and WOW! It was absolutely to die for--rich, sweet, buttery, and the perfect ending to the meal. The service was friendly and welcoming, and everything came out fresh. Sometimes the best food spots are the ones you just happen to stumble upon. Great fried chicken, delicious sides, amazing chess pie, and friendly service. Definitely a 5-star New Orleans stop!

Well I visited and MAN did I enjoy the spicy fried chicken. The crunchy exterior, juicy meat and hearty sides following by a slice of perfect pie washed down by a beverage of your choose your choice-choo-choosing makes it evident why the chicken crossed the road- to get to Gus's You order at the counter and in my case, take a seat and enjoy one of the many tables in an open seating area it lens itself from one person table, top to multiple people in larger parties. You sit and chill and it's brought out to your table which I think is a nice touch of customer service. What happens next is nothing short of Magic. This isn't Gus's county, famous or city, famous municipality, famous state, famous, or even region famous chicken: it's Gus's world famous fried chicken.
