    Outstanding Restaurant. I'm in town in business again and the suggested I try Pontchartrain. They were not wrong. Very generous portions on my Shrimp PoBoy. The Onion Rings were freshly cut and so good. The Bread had to be the World Famous Liedenhiemer because it took me back to my childhood in New Orleans eating Hot Sausage PoBoys at the corner store. I'm hoping to get there once more before I head back to California. Definitely a must try. Service was a 10/10 and very knowledgeable about the Menu. Yall'hollaatchaboy!

    Great poor boy shop in an unpretentious strip mall setting. The fried seafood poor boys are all great. Did not love the hot sausage, poor boy, but it was OK. They have soft drinks and cold beer. Onion rings are a must. Homemade and perfectly fried.

    Half Fried Oyster Po-boy $15.00 / $24.00 for a whole po-boy.

    We stopped into Ponchartrain Po' Boys for the first time in October 2025 and overall had a really good experience. I ordered the half fried oyster po' boy ($15) and a side of red beans & rice ($4), while my guest had the fried fish basket ($13) that comes with three strips and a side of potato salad. The oyster po' boy was tasty with fresh bread and well-seasoned oysters, though I felt the portion was a little small for the price. The red beans & rice were flavorful and a great complement to the meal, and the fried fish was crisp and nicely cooked. We arrived around 2:30 p.m. on a Monday, and the place was busy, which says a lot about its popularity. The service was fair, and our food came out in a reasonable amount of time. Prices were mostly reasonable--the only thing I thought was a bit overpriced was the oyster po' boy. All in all, good food, generous portions on most items, and a lively local atmosphere. We'd definitely come back to try a few other things on the menu next time.

    Delicious food at this restaurant. You can order at the front, you get your number and they will bring your food out to your table. They also do to go orders. We ordered and the food came out pretty quickly which was good since we were all starving. We had the fried shrimp poboy and fried oyster poboy. Another in our party had the roast beef poboy and fried shrimp platter which was also delicious. Very generous portions, They have a large dining room and staff is excellent. It's located in a strip mall, I could see when this place gets busy, the parking can be bit challenging, but overall excellent place.

    First time visiting Pontchartrain and it was amazing. Portions are very big and the meal quality was outstanding.

    I spotted this place on the map app before I ever got to town and bookmarked it. Today is the day I get to try them. They are closed on weekends but I'm not complaining because good food is worth waiting for. This a simple establishment with a long dining room with lots of tables and all the basics provided including two fountain drink stations. Come in, order at the counter, find a table and wait a couple of minutes for your food. Outside on the sidewalk, the chalkboard says Red Beans and Rice every day now for $12.95! Sounds good to me since I've had shrimp every day since Friday including today. But I'll be back! To try a shrimp po-boy because I LOVE SHRIMP! Their red beans and rice are excellent! Cooked perfectly. An order comes with cornbread (of course - a must) and smoked sausage. The cornbread was delicious as was the link of sausage. My taste buds never had it so good. Service was great. As soon as I scraped off my plate of leftovers into one of the provided to-go boxes, a server took that empty plate off my hands before I could set it back down. I see multiple chalkboards calling my name too. I have not had a Muffaletta yet. I love the olive salad that comes on them. And I couldn't get out of here without browsing the dessert case. So I took a slice of the Milky Caramel & Marshmallow Chocolate Cake to go. Yummy!

    Veal cutlet sitting in puddles of grease.

    This place used to be a good option. They are now basically a food mill, turning out tons of mediocre food for high prices. The veal cutlet was awful. It was saturated with grease and sitting in puddles of grease on the plate. The breading did not stick to the meat, and one piece out of three was inedible, with so much gristle I couldn't chew it. The stuffed artichoke was almost comical. It was a really small artichoke with piles of stuffing on the outside to make it look large. It was lacking in garlic flavor. A soft drink is $3.25 now, which is way too high fora casual place like this, especially since they force you to drink out of a tiny, thin plastic cup instead of a decent sized foam cup. If I'm going to pay this much for a soft drink, I don't expect to drink out of a tiny cup someone would throw off of a Mardi Gras float. I have to get up too many times to refill the cup, and that causes more congestion at the drink station. The bread on their po'boys is too chewy and it's not heated to crisp it up. The place seems to be going downhill. No one seems to care about quality control.

    I didn't have the greatest experience here for my first time. I came here on a Sunday morning…read moreduring Labor Day weekend. We gave ourselves an hour and a half, enough time to eat and get to our next planned and scheduled event that day. So, we weren't in a rush. We get in the quickly moving line to order our food at the counter. I order a salmon bagel and the hubs ordered a meatball ciabatta. We sit down and I noticed it is a very busy place. It is a very large place and I noticed how clean everything was and how efficient all the workers were at getting the food out. One after the other, food was coming out like an assembly line and the food looked good, too. But the assembly line apparently stopped, no orders were coming out, and we waited about 20 or 25 minutes. At least we had our drinks because it is a counter service type establishment. We noticed stacks and stacks of 'to go' orders were being placed in the counter area. After nearly 35 or 40 minutes we get our food. Some guy had ordered a 'football teams' worth amount of food. So, although it was not the restaurant's fault, it was frustrating the timing that our order was f course put in right after the guy that ordered 20 dishes. I get my bagel to try to eat quickly, since now we are in a little bit of a rush. And the bagel couldn't have been more complicated to eat. I just wanted a complete lox bagel but it was a deconstructed bagel where I had to put the thing together. I would have enjoyed the meal a little better had my bagel been properly served, like for example, the way Flour Moon serves their bagels to customers. I don't know if we will be back because I rarely visit the Northshore, this was a special occasion. I guess if I do come back, I would like to try one or two of the desserts from the case. Those looked really good.

I check in via the app for curbside. I'm watching the car side runner giggle and laugh with another guy who is waiting for his food. I call the store after watching this for 5 minutes. The guy on the phone asks for my name about 3 times. Tells me he can't locate my order or the ticket. Says someone might have taken my bag or that the ticket was never made. He asks if I'm sure I'm at the right store. I give him the address he says he doesn't know his own stores address. I say I'm at the mandeville location that's what my app says. He still can't find my order. Gives a half ass apology when I state I only get a 30 minute lunch and spent part of driving and waiting. I walk into the store and my bag is right there on the curbside counter. That's when the girl decides to turn to me and ask what I need. I pick up the bag and say idk who I was on the phone with but my order is right here. And the guy as like I thought you said kierra. How he got that from Brooke Sierra, I'll never know. And I said regardless of. I selected check in for curbside and no one brought the order out to me. This is my second and last time ordering from this location. They messed up my last curbside order as well. I waited over 10 minutes for an order that was already done. I avoid going inside bc of my anxiety and PTSD & OCD. *****AVOID THIS LOCATION AT ALL COSTS. OWNERS AND EMPLOYEES DO NOT CARE IF THEY MESS UP***** . This location has multiple unaddressed complaints about service. This how they treat loyal customers and veterans. I'm an 8 year veteran of the army. Yall are shameful.

Beyond that, the food and service are simply perfect every time. I enjoyed some small plates last night, including an espresso martini, the tuna crisp and the soup de jour: tomato basil. Everything was served at the perfect temp, cold for drinks and crisp and piping hot for the soup. The martini was standalone and had the perfect hints of chocolate essence and level of sweetness. It was more coffee than liqueur which I loved and the drink was pleasant without it tasting too much like the spirit. I do mine with gin and they always do such a great job. The tuna crudo was good, and presented so nice with a pour-over of the agua chile tableside. I do feel like it was missing some spice and salt, leaving it to fall a bit flat. However it was incredibly fresh! The soup was a perfect way to end my night, light enough but also filling. So creamy and good. A major thank you and recognition for Nathan. He is an excellent bartender, server and had amazing suggestions for menu items and drinks. He kindly asked the kitchen for extra requests and helped making our dining experience memorable. As my friends ran late, I was seated at the bar alone for a while and he was personable and engaging.
