I tried this place for the first time this last week. I ordered a large roast beef poboy and fries which cost me $22. It was awful. The roast beef was clearly NOT house-made. It seemed to me like a cheap food supplier cold-cut roast beef. The poboy bread was stale...tough and unenjoyable. The fries were decent but I had to toast them in the oven before eating them when I got home because they were so greasy. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE. They must survive off out-of-towners in for a game or concert because I can't imagine them getting repeat customers. read more

I found this gem on Perkins one day when I was looking for lunch and I was not disappointed at all. They have the best shrimp Po-Boys and crispy, hot fried okra that I have ever had. It also came with their amazing ranch and some of their tartar sauce which is much better than a lot of tartars I have had in the past. The service is always great; they have the sweetest woman in there. The ambiance was very nice and I loved eating there during my break. I will be back for sure!!! read more

Stopped in here for lunch. They have a lot of options on the menu. I went with the #2 which is a Po boy roast beef sandwich. It was excellent! I got my good to go and it was ready in a flash. It was a little pricey in my opinion but it was very good. Staff was cordial and got the job done quickly. The interior space is small but they do have some seating options for those who would like to stick around. read more

Chef salad is a joke! Who puts sliced cheese on a salad? And no boiled eggs! Won't waste my money on that again!

This used to be my GO-TO for grilled chicken Poboys...That was when they actually served POBOYS....They have literally decided to charge almost double and cut the Poboy in half...Shrinkflation at its finest.... They have lost me as a customer because of this... The funny thing is, they have pictures on the wall showing what their poboys USED to look like ... Its funny, the Poboys they serve there now are pitiful and puny. Its a shame they charge almost 16 bucks for that fries and a drink... #1 Rule in business is to take care of your customer....Somehow they have forgotten this rule read more

The catfish was fresh and crispy (cornbread), the bread was soft on the inside and had the perfect crunch on the outside. Simple topping let the gloves shine. Get the fried okra, the special season really added a nice pop. I'll be back for sure. read more

Po-Boy Express - Catfish and fried okra - Southern Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

First time at this location which is a former (many years ago) Kentucky Fried Chicken---I believe Po-Boy Express has been open here at least 5 years----because of what this once was, the parking lot is small however there is a drive thru for those who prefer this method of getting food. The interior attempts to look new and fresh but is only neat and accessible. On my visit I arrived shortly after 11:00 am which is early for lunch---there was 1 gentleman waiting on his order (turns out he got the fried fish which looked good and delicious) and after I placed my order and before I left there was 2 different parties (total of 5 people) who arrived inside. At the same time, there must have been 3-4 drive thru orders. As for me, I went simple---cheeseburger , fries which I upcharged to onion rings, and drink which cost me just under $11. They provide you a cup to get your drink from the fountain drink/tea self-service. When my food order was ready , the server asked if I wanted onion ring sauce, which O declined, asking for ketchup. The onion rings are thin and stringy but we're fresh and had a good flavor. I think my burger was 6 ounces---it was well-prepared and fully dressed---the bun was large which hid the (small) size of the burger, however, it was freshly made and like the onion rings, had a good flavor. I will return. read more

It's just fat food but darn it! It's excellent fast food! I got the fried mushrooms which have a wee bit spice but just enough to think "was that a bit of spice?" Oh my! They were tasty. I also got the catfish which also had a wee bit of a bite, but just barely. The catfish was mostly white and light and good pieces, but every so often I'd taste that this is river fish. The ranch dressing was good. The young man working there window was so nice. My only complaint was that they were out of bread and oysters. But hey, we had a hurricane less than 72 hours ago. read more

A taste of New Orleans for sure. Each sandwich is expertly crafted, with fresh ingredients and a perfect balance of flavors. The bread is soft and pillowy, providing the ideal base for the generous fillings. Whether you're a po'boy connoisseur or new to this Southern delight, Baton Rouge Poboy Express is a must-visit destination for an authentic and mouthwatering experience. read more

Tried out this spot and I'm happy the food was better than the looks of their building. The place looked very run down and neglected. We ordered a catfish sandwich and a ham/Turkey/roast beef and cheese sandwich. Both were a large size running about $19.99 each. There was definitely plenty of fried fish on the sandwich. Very fresh and good tasting. The meat trio sandwich was similar to a deli sandwich. Not much bells and whistles, but it was fresh. We also ordered their fried okra. Not sure we'd go back, but for a quick stop it was worth it. Pricey, tasty, big portions, but not spectacular for a return trip. If we were to go back it would be for the fried okra. Huge portion and very fresh!!! Okra was the winner. read more

The best food I've had in my trip to Baton Rouge! I loved their fried Okra, fried mushrooms, and stuffed jalapeños! I got the shrimp philly cheese.. and it was so good. Bread is fresh and soft.. shrimps was very tasteful! I would totally recommend that you make a stop here if you're around. Staff is super nice and fast! read more

You want a poboy? In an expressed way? Here's your spot. A strong variety and one of the best soft shell poboys in town! Bathroom gets 4/5. read more

Do not order the fried catfish!!! I don't even think it is catfish, may be carp! The fish is small strips of fried, gray, slimy, strings of a strange unknown fish. Way Over Priced!!! Do Not Recommend!!! read more

I love the food but can't return to pay $13 for small Po-Boy without fries. It's not practical

By Friday mornings, I am usually too spent to remember to bring lunch to work with me. This means I usually look for inexpensive, quick, and tasty options when I am out and about. A few months ago, my husband and I stopped at a different Poboy Express for lunch and the oyster poboy was absolutely delicious. The oysters were juicy, well-seasoned, and dressed with shredded letttuce and the rest of the works. A regular oyster poyboy meal here is only $14 which I think is fairly reasonable. The oyster poyboy I got at this location is just as good. I got it to go thinking I couldn't possibly eat the whole thing. Boy, was that a joke! I wasn't able to eat most of the fries, but the poboy got wiped out pretty quickly. My complaints about the location include the lack of cleanliness and the outdated decor. For this reason, my rating is more of a 3.5 than 4, but I rounded up to be nice. After all, the service was pretty good too -- a rare occurence in the fastfood industry. read more

Long time visitor from Philly and this is a must on arrival and departure days and any possible chance to sneak a bite in between!! Very helpful service with the lovely southern hospitality feel! The catfish poboy is my favorite!! Don't be fooled by the sketchy drive thru.. it's amazing!! read more

Clearly price gouging charging restaurant prices. I know we're dealing with inflation but the price jump is ridiculous for a half poboy and fry. read more

I was looking for one of the old time po-boys of my youth. Tons of shrimp on a bed of sliced lettuce w/ some tomatoes. This place did not disappoint!!! Several of the other places around town feel that 6 shrimp makes a good po-boy. These guys had double, maybe triple the count. You needed both your hands and had to open wide to eat a bite. The Crawfish Pie was also good, but not as good as my po-boy! I will go back when in Naton Rouge! read more

Great food and great prices. I got the shrimp poboy and fried pickles. The food was delicious and hot made to order! The staff was super friendly. I will definitely go back next time I am in town! read more

Poboy express has long been our go to fast food joint. Always order the same thing: Catfish and shrimp poboys Today the catfish poboy smelled awful. The fish fillets were obviously old and nasty. Worse yet, when I tried to call and complain, nobody answered even after multiple attempts. Do they not answer calls from recent phone orders?? They just lost me as a customer. read more

I have to say as a local in the New Orleans area I definitely think this place holds there own. I was in the Baton Rouge are for a review for school and they decided to eat lunch here. I was actually surprised at how good my poboy was. They were definitely fast as advertised and the poboy was good as well. Price are really good as well. If you need a quick and tasty lunch I would definitely stop here. read more

Just spent half of my lunch break in line only to receive the wrong order.. I have never left a review before, but after calling them to see what could be done about this mistake I was told I had to return the sandwich that was wrongfully given to me, in order to get the one I actually ordered. I explained I didn't have time because I had to clock back in soon, and they told me nothing could be done if I don't bring back the sandwich. Wasted $13 and half my lunch break. On top of that, the sandwich they gave me was absolute trash. So I would 100% not recommend this establishment unless you are willingly trying to waste your time and money. read more

Baton Rouge P.O.-Boy Express! What can I say? Good food, not quite as much or as tasty as Olde Tyme Grocery in Lafayette but PB Express is good! Try the fried mushrooms! read more

To be honest, I was pretty let down by this place because I heard it was the best poboy's in BR. Maybe this location is the exception. When you first pull up to this place, it can be very confusing. Obey the signs, continue on around the building, and you will find an oddly placed call box with the menu. It's very awkward, but I guess necessary as the pick up window is close to the front of the building near Perkins. From what I could see from my truck, there seems to be a long dining area on one side filled with booths. I ordered an oyster poboy with a side of fries. Full disclosure: I order my poboys not dressed. Some people may discredit my opinion just based on that, which I agree is acceptable. The service was great. The lady at the window was very friendly, and I actually got my food within 10 minutes. I was imlressed as their food is cooked to order. However, I cannot recommend their oyster poboy. The bread was strange, with some type of bubbling happening on the top that looked unappetizing. And it just wasn't crusty enough. The oysters were fried very well, but they were not cleaned properly. If you don't remove the muscle that attaches them to their shell, especially with large oysters, you get this rubbery, inedible piece that you have to spit out. I also expect to have enough seafood that I can't fit it all on the sandwich, and I felt they were light on the oysters. The fries were seasoned well with Tony's, but were soggy and begging for ketchup or BBQ sauce. They were standard frozen fries, which I expected here. I was happy to have tried it out, but probably won't be back. Would consider trying the steak supreme poboy if I would return. read more

The po-boy express in Pineville is one of my favorite places so i was excited to go here, but boy was that a let down. 10 dollars for half a po-boy and the smallest "large" fry i've ever seen. the fries were too salty and soggy. the sandwich was just sad. it was small with barely anything in it. very disappointed and i will not be returning. read more

I was bamboozled. Misled. Lied to. One of the folks down here in Baton Rouge told me that Po-boy Express had the best poboys in town. I hope in the name of sweet baby Jesus that they are wrong. Because this place sucked. It was dirty. AND the food sucked. I got the seafood platter because it looked outstanding on the website (DON'T BE FOOLED!). It came with four slivers of catfish (which tasted very muddy), a handful of small shrimp (meh tasting), four oysters (which were actually quite tasty), a ton of shitty fries, and a "salad". I say "salad" because it was a small mound of shredded lettuce topped with a couple of leaves of iceberg and a few slices of tomatoes. I've had better poboys in MSY airport...and that's scary. +1 star for the great oysters and the perfect Community sweet iced tea. read more

Po'boy Express is my favorite poboy shop around! The NY cheesesteak poboy is amazing. Their onion rings are the best in Baton Rouge in my opinion. This location is pretty old, but the food rocks. They have a drive-thru, just don't expect it to be fast. They make everything to order. Did I mention that they carry fried pickles, fried mushrooms, cheese sticks, and fries? I've not had anything bad here! read more

When I seen the shrip basket can have up to 30 shrimp, I thought it was about to be small and not worth it. But it absolutely was! The shrimp was basically popcorn shrimp and it was absolutaly delicious! It wasn't too salty and it had just enough spice. It comes with a salad and fries! The shrimp po boy is STUFFED with shrimp, they were falling out in my plate lol. They really give you nice sized portions! I was suprised by the size of my po boy! I am a shrimp po boy enthusiast, I have eaten them from all over Louisiana! And let me say, this is one of the best! You have GOT to stop by and try it out! The prices are not bad and it is well worth it. I definately plan on being a regular! read more

Quick and easy stop. Real food fast. Tasty catfish basket. Recommended by one of the locals for something good, quick and simple!

This restaurant has the best ever oyster po-boys! I look forward to getting one every time I overnight in Baton Rouge!

Moved near here recently. Have been ordering to go, and also using Waitr. I give 5 stars because the burgers, fries, onion rings and shrimp Poboy s we have gotten were delicious! Even using delivery, everything was always hot. read more

I like this place cause they can mix up the ingredients in the poboys. I usually get the shrimp and oyster combo. They have really good fried mushrooms and onion rings too. read more

Drive thru po boys? Who doesn't love that. My husband raves about their catfish poboy. He had the shrimp the other day and said it wasn't as good. I'm in love with their fries okra. As for myself, I try to steer clear of fried food. Everyone else in my family seems to enjoy it. The kids burger is huge!! Although, I found it to be a little pricey for a kids meal. My other gripe is that it's not technically that fast of food. You should go in the restaurant instead of drive thru. It's a waste of gas to wait by the window for atleast five minutes. It's good for a night when you just don't feel like cooking. read more

The chicken philly is amazing, and if u get a catfish Po-Boy, ask for onion ring sauce and try with it, it's fire
