    Half Firecracker Shrimp/Half Oyster (Large only)
    Paula T.

    Definitely one of the best Po boys in town. We got the half oyster and half firecracker shrimp, $28 cash. I wish they stuffed it together rather than splitting it, but we ended up combining ourselves. Bread was perfectly buttered and crispy and the oysters and shrimp were fresh. I loved how they tossed the shrimp in their sauce, like a version of dynamite shrimp. However, I'm a bigger fan of the spice in the batter rather than coated, but that's just me. Bring cash for their menu price!

    Finally made it to Parasol's... old school neighborhood bar for drink and food. I went for lunch and had the fried oyster BLT sandwich. Bottom line... it was tasty but very small. 5-6 fried oysters, some thin bacon, and L&T all on fresh white bread. It was more of an appetizer than a main. I should have ordered their famous roast beef debris po boy... next time. Setting is 1950's pub.

    We stopped here after a tour of the garden district. The service was slow, but the food was worth the wait. They were big on Crawfish and many folks seemed to be enjoying them. I had a Cuban sandwich and my husband had the fish.

    If you want a delicious overstuffed shrimp and oyster po-boy, get in here! Perfectly fried light and crispy shrimp. Service was excellent. Bring cash or credit. Order your drinks at the bar and food on the other side and sit and enjoy. But please, clean your table of all trash. There were several handwritten signs!

    You gotta love a neighborhood bark! Walking distance from my house. It's great to have terrific staff great food and locals to hang out with. Even if you're not a local, you will feel welcome. You can sit inside at the bar or up above in the restaurant area or Copa chair on the outside patio.!

    This is such a great little bar and restaurant. The debris sandwich and fry's as out of this world and some of the best I ever had. I love the outdoor seating.

    Local dive bar in the Irish channel just a block walk from Magazine street. This welcoming bar is worth the stroll to enjoy a beverage with many locals. Super chill and relaxed atmosphere. They have tons of TVs playing the game and they are a great local hangout for the college or NFL football games Their food menu is extensive. I didn't eat as we had just come from dinner but we were amazed with the sights and smells of the food offerings. Supposedly, they are known for their Po'boys. I will certainly consider the roast beef debris next time I am in town.

    Fried Pickles

    Google hours are different so call ahead just to make sure the kitchen is not closed. We arrived Monday night at 930 pm and the kitchen closed at 9. We came back the next day and ordered firecracker shrimp po' bo sandwiches, a shrimp basket and fried pickles. Everything was delicious! The portions were huge and we definitely could have ordered less. The loaf they use for the po' boys is fresh and soft. We wanted to order dessert and other appetizers but they weren't available like the bread pudding. The restaurant section has a seperate door from the bar section so your kiddos aren't walking through the bar section.

    If you are looking for your dream po boy, go here for the firecracker shrimp! Perfectly crispy, a little spicy, nicely balanced flavors with the veg, and a great bun to finish it off. This was the best po boy I've had in NOLA. I also got the brussel sprouts, which was an enormous portion (awesome) but a little too crispy and oily for my taste. My friend also really enjoyed the regular shrimp po boy and coleslaw. We didn't have them but heard the onion rings are also fire! We had to wait a little while for the food even though it didn't seem super busy but it was worth it. We sat outside as it was a beautiful day, and they have a scattering of picnic tables. They also have an indoor bar area and another area where you can order that has more casual tables inside. Highly recommend!

    I really enjoyed the Po Boy Firecracker Shrimp! It has a nice kick and zing to it! My mom got the roast beef, but I found it to be very salty (that's all there was to it). Also tried the Boudin balls, very disappointed because it just tasted burnt. So I didn't get the chance to taste anything from it. Side note: Mandatory tipping system when spending more money even if food is to-go. We spent over $100 and mandatory tipping was 20%.

    Po boy Firecracker Shrimp - amazing
    Jon B.

    Came to Parasols for a classic NOLA feast and a drink. This casual , cool joint encompasses everything that is great about New Orleans . Great vibe , friendly people and amazing food. I got the spicy shrimp Po boy by recommendation of Kyle the great bartender . This place is a must visit !! Truly great on all levels !!

    1/2 mufflers
    Amy W.

    EVERYONE -- and I mean everyone -- says this is THE place for a po' boy. Well... maybe we hit it on an off day, because we left feeling seriously disappointed. We started at the bar with a couple of their "frozen" cocktails -- except they were more like room temperature slushies. The Orange Julius one tasted fine, but it was basically juice with a side of sadness. If you're gonna sell me a frozen cocktail, make it frozen! That said, the bartender was sweet, so points for that. For the food, you order from the back of the bar -- I got the debris po' boy, hubbs got the muffuletta, and we both got excited about the "Irish Sunday" potato salad with gravy (because honestly, potato salad + gravy = genius). About 10 minutes later, they called our name... only to tell us they were out of the Irish Sunday. So, fried pickles it was. Then the food came, and oh boy. The bread was just off. The muffuletta had a top crust that could've cracked a tooth, but the bottom was ice cold and tasted like day-old bread from the bargain bin. My debris po' boy was a mess -- literally and figuratively. The bread fell apart, there was barely any meat, and the fries inside (because, of course, fries in a sandwich) were either rock hard or cold. Perfect! (not!) I couldn't even finish half of it, and the pickles were fine -- but not exactly a worthy replacement for the mythical Irish Sunday. Final thoughts? Either we caught them on a bad day, or the hype machine has some explaining to do. I wanted to love it -- but this po' boy left me feelin' po'.

    Shrimp (Regular) po boy
    Tiffany N.

    This was like the driest shrimp poboy fully dressed I've ever had. Somehow the top half of the sandwich was like stale. I threw the bread away and ate the shrimp by itself which was okay. The boudin balls came with marinara which was super weird and not good. The wait was also 45 minutes after ordering before the lunch rush. This is a no.

    Is Parasols closed down?

    They are re open with new owners! Serving the same stuff and tastes if not better than before

    Do they do take out?

    Yep

    Are they still in business? Their website no longer works.

    They were in February. They have been there forever so I'm not sure why they wouldn't be. A look at their Facebook page shows they are still active as of yesterday 05/07/18

I applaud companies that share their wealth!!

    Eat With Extreme Caution!…read more I am formally reporting a serious incident involving Jersey Mike's location at 1801 Manhattan Blvd, Harvey, LA. On November 22, 2025, I purchased a sub, chips, and a drink from this location. While eating my sandwich, I suddenly bit down on a large, sharp object that appeared to be a piece of wood. The object injured my front left tooth and punctured the roof of my mouth, causing immediate pain and distress. This is a serious food safety issue. I have preserved the object, the remaining food, the packaging, and the receipt, and I also have clear photo evidence. Due to the pain and injury caused by the wood, I had to undergo medical and dental evaluations. The following day, I returned to the store to speak with the manager, Michael Johnston, and requested that an official incident report be filed. The employee on duty, Branden Cortez, told me there was "no way to file a report" and that the manager was not there. He offered me a free meal replacement or voucher, which I declined. Branden took the wood fragment to the back and returned with it washed off, saying he took photos for himself. He asked if he could keep the object, but I declined since it is evidence. He stated he would pass the information to the store owner/manager, Michael Johnston, and that the manager would contact me. I actually had to ask Branden to write down my name and phone number, as my contact information had not been collected up to that point. I returned to the store the next day again to speak with the manager. At first, I was told he had already left, but when he heard I was there, he returned. While I waited, my personal contact information was left sitting on a random table where anyone could see it, which I found very unprofessional. When I finally spoke with Michael Johnston, he said he did not know how wood could have gotten into my sandwich. I don't know either--that is exactly why this situation should be taken seriously. During the conversation, he mentioned that he worked in construction, though I'm not sure why that was relevant. He took multiple photos with his personal phone and told me he would contact his insurance representative and get back to me. It has now been four months, and I have not heard anything from Michael Johnston. This is extremely disappointing because I was a regular customer at this location, and the staff knew me by name. What's even more unfortunate is that this situation could have been handled simply through clear communication and professionalism, but that has not happened. This incident could have turned out much worse. It could have happened to an elderly person or a young child, but it happened to me--and it still has not been properly addressed. I have medical records, medication, and photographic evidence documenting the injuries and the object. Please be careful when eating at this location. Michael Johnston, if you are reading this, I am asking you as a responsible adult and business owner to please contact me regarding this matter.

I placed an order about 10:20pm via GrubHub. After receiving a notification via GrubHub that my order was being made and in process, I was happy I would be having a po' boy and fries in 30 minutes. Well....20-30 minutes go by and I get an update saying my order is delayed 15 minutes. Ok...thats fine. Still satisfied that with my limited options this late in this night that I will be getting food. 10 minutes later, I get a text saying my order has been canceled. Frustration ensues... I debate. Just let it go? Or call the restaurant directly. I call the restaurant. A pleasant gentleman answers. I explain my order and cancellation notice. He says my first name without prompting and explains that Grub Hub did not assign a driver and he cancelled the order. Before my objection, however, he asks where I am and clarifies that I am at a very near hotel. He, the owner, confirms my location and room number and says he can make my order in 5 minutes and deliver within 15. I was elated. I go downstairs to the hotel lobby to wait and within less than 15 minutes he arrives with a bag of hot food that I ordered. This is customer service of perfection. When he arrives I pulled out cash for a tip and he refused to accept it and apologized for Grub Hub screwing things up before I could even have cash to give him. The food....it was great. The bread of the po'boy was crispy on the outside and chewy inside. Fresh shrimp was flavorful and lightly breaded. The cheese fries are indeed world famous. This wasn't just a "food was great" review. But the above and beyond service was as good as the food. If you have read this review this far, just order food from Parkside Tavern. Please. You will not regret it.

It's a bar (long bar) with TVs, and a pool table. I called in an order for a cheeseburger on French, dressed and a large order of fries. The person taking the order was friendly and efficient. Said it would be ready in 10 minutes and it was. The food was as good as I remembered. The French bread must be Leidenheimer's. It's the best. Parkside is smoky and it's decor leaves something to be desired. Mostly frequented by friendly locals who have been going to Parkside forever. However, if you want a great cheeseburger on French and super French fries, give it a try!
