I'd been hearing about this place for years, so while on the way to Houston we decided to stop and give it a shot. We had the fried pickled okra which was a solid app, and also ordered a surf n turf as well as the special of the week, which was their version of a Reuben, as well as the mac and cheese. The mac and cheese was good but I was disappointed in the sandwiches. Both were VERY dry. I don't think the corned beef one had any sauce at all. The worst part was that we asked for some extra gravy, but what they gave us wasn't gravy - it was ROUX. I've made enough gumbos and south Louisiana dishes in my time, and what I was given was dark roux, straight from a jar. Incredibly disappointing. read more

We hadn't been to Pop's in quite awhile and I'm glad we made it by. The debris is the best New Orleans style roast beef poboy in town, hands down. Their nontraditional twists like the Hot Hot are outstanding as well. This is a great casual spot for delicious food. read more

This is obviously a home town favorite. Went during a rainy day but it was still getting great traffic. The service was great. The place is a little small but the tables are set up nicely. They have alcoholic drinks and even on theme. The food was amazing. The type of place you want to eat the menu. Definitely will be back. read more

Pop's Poboys - Jacks special - Burgers Near Me - Lafayette, Louisiana

A solid Po-By in Acadiana. For a boy who grew up in Nola, I get pretty judgy when it comes to po-boys. I go on rants about the proper bread and all sorts of nonsense. It probably makes people think I am a douche, which may be true, but you shouldn't judge others weird food rants lest your weird food rants be judged. All that nonsense aside, Pop's is great. I found myself at Pop's one day for lunch after learning they could make any po-boy into a salad. All the taste of a po-boy but few carbs? Sign me up. I opted for the Jack special which is basically a ferdi with the addition of turkey. It was surprisingly great as a salad. The star of the salad was the shockingly good debris. The debris was so good that all that nonsense Nolier than thou talk I had in store because it was a po-boy not in Nola. I had a great meal and opened my mind to the concept of po-boys outside of New Orleans. Win - Win. read more

Pop's used to be a good place when we couldn't decide where to go when visiting Lafayette but we had the worst experience. We ordered the satsuma old fashioned but asked for it to be in a real glass instead of a plastic cup. The bartender was very confused and instead of putting it in a glass old fashioneds are typically served in she put it in a tall glass and poured soda to the top. It was so sweet and I couldn't drink it. We ordered a wedge salad and a situation to split. The wedge salad was good and I enjoyed it, but the situation was cold. I opened it as soon as it was delivered to us and it wasn't even warm. I don't think we'll be going back. read more

The food and service here are both incredible. I always get the Marty MacFrys to start which are amazing. I also usually go with the Surf Turf sub shrimp which is also top notch. I highly recommend. read more

The atmosphere is very different than most restaurants. It is seat yourself seating, which causes a lot of chaos, but that kind of adds to feel of the place. The food was extremely lackluster especially for the hefty price. I would definitely go back and try something different, because they have a lot of unique things on the menu. read more

First time here and I have to say, this place was great. They have a great variety of non-traditional po boys, but also offer traditional favorites like the roast beef po boy. That's what I ordered and I left impressed. The gravy had a great flavor and it didn't take much, so the poboy was not sloppy and held together. The bread is amazing and tasted like it was just baked. Growing up in New Orleans, I have had all of the top po boys and this was not too far from those. I will be back. read more

I ordered a half catfish po-boy. The sandwich had two SMALL pieces of catfish on a mountain of bread. The catfish did not even cover the bread. In addition, the sandwich was very dry. I had to add mayonnaise from a package to make it edible. If they had TRIPLED the amount of catfish it would be a decent sandwich, even though the bread was half way stale. My companion had a shrimp and oyster po-boy and it was LOADED with seafood. Pop's is one of those restaurants where you have to know which menu items are a rip off. From now on I will buy my po-boys at Olde Tyme , where ALL the sandwiches are always excellent. read more

How do you give 6 stars? I always make sure to bring first time visitors to Lafayette to Pops. The Po boys, the fried pickles, the salads, it's all amazing. And don't forget the cocktails! That being said, I waited all year for the Saints to play the Falcons so I can have my Dirty Bird Poboy. I swear, I dream about this sandwich sometimes. It's that dang good. read more

Very clean and inviting and great customer service. Price was reasonable. I ordered shrimp po-boy. The bread was very chewy, doughy and tasted heavy. Typically French bread for poboys is very light and crisp. The poboy wasn't fully dressed, no pickles. The tomatoes were soggy and so was the shrimp. I started eating it within 10 mins of getting it, and it was still hot so I assume everything was just soggy. I'm from New Orleans so maybe things are different here but I did not finish my Poboy. It was pretty bad. read more

Hands down the best poboys! They have unique flavors choices. Not just the usual. The Castro is my favorite. They do offer flavors or specials of the month. Their fried pickled okra is to die for!! Must try them. If you place an order to go they are pretty fast. read more

Saw this place on man vs food so we wanted to try it. The poboys were ok. Grilled shrimp didn't have much flavor and the fried oysters were a little floury tasting. We also got hush puppies with a sweet butter and tartar sauce. The sauces were nice. Our daughter got the kids fried shrimp basket and those were really nice. I would have given 3 stars if the staff wasn't so nice. read more

Food gets 4 stars. Service, which is nonexistant, gets 0 stars. What exactly am I tipping for? I cannot imagine being inspired to spend more money in a place where there's not even anybody to bring you water or ask if you want another drink. You have to schlepp to the front counter for everything & talk to some millennial server(?) that won't even make eye contact with you. I should be tipping myself. There seems to be enough staff to make service better, just a bad service model. read more

I wanted a po' boy while we are visiting family in town and my father-in-law recommended we try this place. A great call! The restaurant is bright and modern inside with plenty of seating. You order at the counter and they bring the food to you. We had two of their specialty shrimp po'boys and I tried a French 75 as well while my husband enjoyed a beer. The sandwiches came quickly and were both delicious in completely different ways. Bread was soft and had great chew. We truly enjoyed our lunch and were in and out quickly without ever feeling rushed. I am already looking forward to coming back the next time I am in town! read more

This is probably the best fancy poboy I've ever had. I loved the bread. I loved the selection. There is full on alcohol here. The service is great. You don't have to worry about splitting checks too it's counter service style. And it is located in the heart of downtown. Amazing. I ordered the Boudreaux which is buttermilk fried catfish on a soft bun. I wish I had ordered two of these. That sauce on there, I think it was an okra tartar sauce. Gave it an earllthy flavor mixed with the mixed worked super well. It was messy but so good. I really want to try everything on that menu but I think the Hot Hot might be my next option. I always said that old tyme is my favorite poboy place. But now I have to say old tyme is my favorite old fashioned poboy place. Pops is my favorite bougie poboy place! read more

Great food. One of my fav spots to stop when I'm in town. I ordered togo this last time and I honestly couldn't tell if the workers hated me or their job.

When in louisiana, you have to get a po-boy, that's the rule right? We were visiting my fiance's alma mater and she would not stop raving about this place! I for one, love a good po-boy so I was psyched for it. Due to Covid, they are currently sitting people at a smaller capacity but they have a to go window outside where you can order and get your food. It's definitely an efficient system to props to them for setting it up. We ended up getting the mac and cheese, surf and turf poboy and the cardiac cajun... wow. These were all great. The pasta used in the mac and cheese was different then normal elbows and honestly went really well with the cheese. I am currently daydreaming about it right now. I ended up getting the full (12 inch) poboy and that was MORE than enough. The surf and turf had fried oyster and roast beef and packed a tangy punch. My fiance also swore by her cardiac cajun. One more thing, I had the vodka blood orange daiquiri and the rose daiquiri and they were FIRE. Our meal turned out a bit expensive, but for what we had - totally worth it! read more

Absolutely DELICIOUS! I had the half shrimp banh banh. It had amazing hot (temperature) shrimp with a great sauce. Complimented perfectly by cold veggies and a toasted bread. The mac n cheese was ordered as a side and was served with spaghetti noodles which is different but made perfect sense. The cheeses used are American and cheddar with the cheddar being on top and broiled. It came out bubbling hot and full of flavor. It wasn't rich but wasn't bland either. Perfect balance. The staff is super friendly and presents a clean, inviting space. There was a small line but it moves quick. Food: 100/10 Environment: 10/10 Staff: 10/10 Overall: 150/10 Amazing must have! read more

Seen this place advertised on facebook so I wanted to give them a try.. The customer service was on point but the boiled crawfish sausage poboy lacked flavor to me.. and I purchased something to drink since I don't drink soda so I got a can of water which was 2.00. Never in my life have I ever heard of Canned water until today. The fries were 8.00 and It was a bit overpriced to me. For these fries? read more

Even in Louisiana, it's difficult to find a good poboy these days. Many restaurants that offer poboys serve them on soft hoggie rolls instead of authentic French poboy bread with inferior ingredients. Sacre' Bleu! To my delight, Pop's Poboys in downtown Lafayette serves up the best poboys outside of New Orleans. I visited Pop's while driving home to Pensacola from visiting my family's ranch in Texas just east of College Station. It made my day. I ordered a half size oyster poboy. It was served in the classic style; lightly breaded fried oysters on an 8" cut of French bread, a heaping pile of oysters with lettuce, roughly chopped tomatoes, crisp lettuce and mayonnaise. The oysters tasted like they were just just out of the water and were fried perfectly. The poboy bread was crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. Mon dieu; it was so good. If your ever on I10 driving through Lafayette, take the time to visit Pop's. The only comparable Poboy I've found is in NOLA at the Parkway Bakery or Casamentos. PS: ignore all those billboards on I10 near Lafayette that advertise "world famous" or "voted No. 1" Cajun food. Degoutante! read more

This is a great place to stop in the way to NOLA. Fast service, delicious po boy and great drinks.

Honestly, I've never had a bad meal here. The food and service have always been great and pleasant, respectfully. There latest creation, "The Bae of Pigs" needs to be permanently placed on the daily menu!! I don't think I've ever enjoyed a PoBoy that was just simply as perfect as this one in quite some time. I'm not a picky eater at all and this thing had me in a trans! It was absolutely perfect! Please PLEASE PLEASE make "The Bae of Pigs" a permanent item on your menu!! read more
