    Most current pricing. May'25

    It seems this place has been there forever... Very nice place if you're looking for a quick cold/hot sandwich and/or hot plate lunch. Always packed with fast and friendly service!

    Let me tell you something guys eat out a lot and when you're in New Orleans, you're looking for lunch you want something absolutely delicious. It's not gonna cost you a fortune. There is no other place that can touch the red barn. Incredible pole, roast beef meatloaf everything they make absolutely fresh and delicious, including the crispy Leidenheimer bread, obviously it's my favorite place to eat in the city. It's way past the UEP Long bridge on Jeff Highway but it's definitely worth the trip. Oh by the way cash only enjoy enjoy.

    Large ham and cheese poboy
    Rebecca D.

    There is no better bang for your buck than Red Wagon. It unfortunately closes early for late dinner people, but it is worth going out of your way to get food from here! I order large and I can make it into two additional meals. Vintage feel inside.

    Delicious shrimp . Great batter and flavor.

    How long has this place been here. My God! It is heaven! We ventured out here for lunch on day. We walked into the restaurant which is part grocery store with bulk items like sams club sized mayonnaise which is also heavenly. Their menu consists of breakfast food and new orleans seafood. I opted for the shrimp plate that comes with a salad and a side. We also got a large order of cheese fries. The hubby got the large fried Fish poboy. There is small and large. This is the part where you may want to READ the actual size of this baby. While the hubby went to pay, I sat down at a table for us. I happened to sit near an adorable little old lady and she giggled as she saw the expression on my face when the hubby's poboy - which was the size of a submarine - was being delivered to my table. The little old lady said, first time here? I laughed with her and told her I was gonna get a pic of his face when he turns to see the size of the thing. And I did. And we both laughed again. The hubby was pleased with his food, he had left overs. The fries was also an enormous portion and had left overs. I enjoyed the flavors of the fried shrimp. Very good. The salad was not a salad though, it's just lettuce on the plate. This place is in a great area with lots of food options nearby. I really loved this establishment and the funny memory that was made. We will for sure be back. And yes, we are gonna order the large again!

    Hot sausage poboy
    Kimberly F.

    I ordered a hot sausage poboy from Red Wagon with my customary request ( fry the patty hard). I expected a Paton hot sausage patty. However I was greatly surprised when I took a bite and realized that the patties were made in house. The poboy was truly the best hot sausage that I ever had. I will be spread the word. Thank you Red Wagon.

    Shrimp Poboy

    Unequivocally one of the best bang for your buck poboys you can get basically anywhere. The shrimp poboy was pretty standard but with the portions and price, without a doubt money WELL spent. Tons of food for half the price of most overpriced poboys today, cannot recommend enough. The staff are super nice and conversational, and overall the place has that small town grocery-restaurant sort of appeal that you dont really see much anymore. Also its cash only.

    Friend of mine who lived here for 67 years told me about this place. And I think I agree that this place has the best fried shrimp po boy. The batter is not light, but is seasoned just right for delicious fried shrimp, put that in a soft but crusty French bread with tartar sauce and you've got a winner! It was amazing. I had the standard roast beef and it was great as well, I think I can eat the 16" large one no problem. It was crowded with no parking and waited long time for the food to come out. But, it was all worth it. Great place, too bad I don't live close.

    Italian sandwich shop conveniently located by Tulane!…read more If you have ever been to Italy, you know this iconic focaccia bread sandwich, well here it is in New Orleans! The Roma is probably my favorite because it is more savory. The positano was a little sweeter than I expected with the fig jam. I love the fig jam. Both sandwiches were great and you can't go wrong Price is pricey Bread is oily Parking is street and somewhat difficult to find, had to walk 2 blocks Only has about 3 small tables to sit outside, otherwise you're out of luck. I took it to go since there was no seating. Overall, I'd definitely come back. I think half a sandwich per person would suffice instead of a whole next time. It still tasted good after being in the fridge for a day.

    What is not to love about a sandwich shop who makes their own Italian bread and imports their meats…read moreand cheeses from Italy? Our sandwiches were to die for. I had the Napoli. The prosciutto was heavenly, the sweetness of the fig spread coupled with the spicy Calabrian chilis is out of this world. Sooo good! Mike had the Pisa. Despite the chicken being a perfectly thin cotoletta (yes, I have been taking Italian lessons for the past year ) it was still moist and crispy. The sauce was wonderful and the mozzarella was melted to form the most delightful sandwich. We had planned to get back over there before we left town but failed to. Alas, another reason to come back to NOLA This place is not an eat in establishment but has 3 tables outside for you to enjoy your sandwiches. The young lady who took our order was friendly and pleasant and one of the owners (the mom) chatted with us. Our experience was wonderful. It reminded us of our visits to sandwich shops in Firenze. Panini deliziosi!

    Every now and then, my GF and I want to do something a little nicer than "whatever", but we still…read morewant to keep it easy and casual when we want food and drinks. So we go to The Boulevard in Elmwood and sit at the bar. Let me make the point that we've never eaten in the dining room. Sometimes, we want to sit at a nice bar and eat our dinner. We interact with the staff, asking questions about the different bottles they have behind their very well stocked bar, and just relaxing. We've been to the Boulevard at least 4 or 6 times now, and it's a really nice experience each time. The bartenders are always friendly and attentive, the cocktails are always great, and we always love their food. Specifically - they make a great Old Fashioned (for me) and a great dirty martini (for her). They have a decent beer selection, but we come here for the cocktails (and food). We've tried a variety of their food, and it's all been good. They have a great oyster appetizer, and their crab cakes and their burgers stand out in my memory. I will say that every time I've gotten a burger, I've had to wave the bartender down to get condiments. Shouldn't have to, but I'm not taking away a star for that. Good cocktails, good food, good service. That's what we get!

    We went here for lunch yesterday and I was so excited because I love the spinach dip & crab cakes…read more We ordered the spinach dip which comes with chips, salsa and sour cream which is very good. But the waitress that brought it out to us put it down and some of the chips slid off of our plate and she hurried up and picked the chips up with her hands and put them back on our plate. My husband and I were shocked. They do whip off the tables but with the same towel for every table. We saw a small bucket with the towel in it and watched them. So they don't spray the tables down after each use just whips it off with the same towel. Our food was very good. I gave it a 2 star because of what happened.
